Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Millwood Road and McRae Drive, City Council approval of this motion is required.
The purpose of this motion is to obtain approval to address certain local concerns with regard to the safe operation at the intersection of Millwood Road and McRae Drive.
Millwood Road and McRae Drive are collector roads that intersect in the heart of the Leaside Community. The intersection is controlled by traffic control signals. Municipal sidewalks are located on both sides of each road. Transit service is provided on both Millwood Road and McRae Drive.
In the general vicinity of the Millwood Road/McRae Drive intersection are a number of residential dwellings, a church, and a park/community centre/children's playground/library.
