As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Broadview Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services staff have been requested by the local Councillor to report back to the September 9, 2021 Toronto and East York Community Council on the preferred location of traffic control signals on Broadview Avenue, adjacent to Riverdale Park East.
Due to insufficient traffic data available, Transportation Services staff is unable to undertake a warrant analysis and does not recommend the installation of traffic control signals at this time.

40a - Traffic Control Signals - Broadview Avenue - Supplemental Report
Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Broadview Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
At its meeting of September 9, 2021, Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of Item TE27.50 regarding the installation of traffic signals on Broadview Avenue, adjacent to Riverdale Park East. The report was prepared by Transportation Services, in response to earlier direction (Items TE16.72 and TE26.91) from Toronto and East York Community Council to advise on the preferred location of traffic control signals on this section of Broadview Avenue. It was recommended that the report be received for information, due to the lack of available traffic data.
This report updates the information provided in the deferred report. Based on further review by Transportation Services, it is recommended that the mid-block pedestrian crossover (PXO) on Broadview Avenue, north of Millbrook Crescent, be upgraded to traffic control signals. The proposed control traffic control signals will operate as intersection pedestrian signals (IPS) and westbound Millbrook Crescent will remain as stop controlled. As IPS installations are generally not supported in the City of Toronto under the current policy, this installation will be considered as part of an existing pilot of these controls.
