Community Council Recommendations

The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

 

1. City Council amend the existing heavy vehicles prohibition in effect at all times on Bloor Street West, between Jopling Avenue and a point 210.8 metres west of Markland Drive, to be in effect from Aukland Road to a point 210.8 metres west of Markland Drive.

Origin

(February 4, 2021) Report from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Bloor Street West between Aukland Road and a point 210.8 metres west of Markland Drive, City Council approval of this report is required.

 

Transportation Services is recommending that Community Council amend the existing heavy vehicles prohibition in effect at all times on Bloor Street West, between Jopling Avenue and a point 210.8 metres west of Markland Drive, to be in effect from Aukland Road to a point 210.8 metres west of Markland Drive.

 

This proposed amendment changes the east limit of the existing heavy vehicles prohibition on Bloor Street West, from Jopling Avenue to Aukland Road, thus allowing westbound heavy vehicles on Bloor Street West to legally proceed to turn left onto Aukland Road to proceed southbound to Dundas Street West.
