Origin
Summary
Transportation Services is requesting authority from City Council to install traffic control signals at the intersection of Yonge Street and Roehampton Avenue/Orchard View Boulevard.
As part of the review and site plan approval for the development of 2263-2287 Yonge Street, 8-10 Eglinton Avenue, 25 and 25R Roehampton Avenue, necessary improvements to Yonge Street and Roehampton Avenue/Orchard View Boulevard were identified to accommodate increased traffic and pedestrian demands in the vicinity of this development, primarily, the installation of traffic control signals at this intersection. The installation of these traffic control signals will enhance safety for pedestrians and motorists both during construction and once the development is complete, and will result in the loss of approximately eight on-street parking spaces in total, on the east and west sides of Yonge Street.
