Origin

(November 9, 2017) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Etobicoke York District

Summary

This report outlines our investigation into the installation of a Pedestrian Crossover on Royal York Road between Hillside Avenue and Symons Street.  The results of our studies indicate that the pedestrian crossing volumes do not meet the current City Council adopted warrants for a pedestrian crossover.  However, Transportation Services, is currently reviewing locations for a pilot program to implement a new style of pedestrian crossovers that were recently approved for use in the Province of Ontario.

 

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Royal York Road, City Council approval of this report is required.
