The Public Works and Infrastructure Committee recommends that:
1. City Council prohibit eastbound right turns on Dundas Street West at Keele Street when traffic control signal shows red.
2. City Council prohibit westbound right turns on Dundas Street West at Keele Street when traffic control signal shows red.
3. City Council prohibit southbound right turns on Keele Street at Dundas Street West when traffic control signal shows red.
Origin
Summary
Transportation Services is requesting authority from City Council to introduce right-turn-on-red prohibitions for eastbound, westbound and southbound traffic at Dundas Street West and Keele Street.
These prohibitions are recommended to improve the pedestrian crossing environment. Existing buildings on three of the four corners reduce sightlines for right-turning vehicles. As a result, these motorists encroach into the pedestrian crosswalks on a red signal to see oncoming vehicular traffic.
