Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Parkside Drive, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services has reviewed the need for pedestrian crossing protection on Parkside Drive in the vicinity of the High Park Trail. Based on the assessment undertaken, Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals on Parkside Drive where it intersects with High Park Trail, located immediately north of The Queensway overpass. Traffic control signals will provide enhanced safety for vulnerable road users using the trail as well as the existing transit stops.
In addition to the installation of traffic control signals, Transportation Services is also recommending that the parking regulations on the west side of Parkside Drive between Spring Road and The Queensway be amended to accommodate on-street paid parking, in conjunction to the installation of the sidewalk on the west side of Parkside Drive, expected to be constructed later in the summer.
