Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Lansdowne Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals at the intersection of Lansdowne Avenue and Lansdowne Avenue (east branch)/Private Driveway. The traffic control signals will provide crossing protection for pedestrians and cyclists accessing the proposed connection to the West Toronto Railpath, located on the west side of the street. This connection will be constructed within the property at 222 Lansdowne Avenue (No Frills). The traffic control signals are justified based on the assessment undertaken.
In conjunction with the traffic control signal installation, it will be necessary to prohibit westbound right turns on red at all times and increase the length of the existing standing prohibition that is in effect at all times on the east side of Lansdowne Avenue. Civil improvements are also required as part of this installation.
