Community Council Recommendations
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council approve the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Burnhamthorpe Road and Meadowbank Road.
2. City Council approve the removal of the pedestrian crossover on Burnhamthorpe Road at Meadowbank Road, in conjunction with installing traffic control signals.
Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to obtain approval for installing traffic control signals at the intersection of Burnhamthorpe Road and Meadowbank Road.
Although the warrants for the installation of traffic control signals are not met, a safety audit of the existing pedestrian crossover on Burnhamthorpe Road at Meadowbank Road showed that this location is no longer environmentally suitable for a pedestrian crossover, given the existing operating speed of vehicle traffic on Burnhamthorpe Road. Based on the results of the pedestrian crossover audit, staff is recommending that the pedestrian crossover be replaced with traffic control signals.
