SC13.6 - U-Turn Regulation Review - Silver Springs Boulevard

Decision Type:
ACTION
Status:
Amended
Schedule Type:
Delegated
Ward:

Community Council Decision

Scarborough Community Council:

 

1.   Approved northbound and southbound U-Turn prohibitions on Silver Springs Boulevard, from Revlis Crescent (south intersection) to Rakewood Crescent (south intersection).

Origin

(December 9, 2015) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Scarborough District

Summary

This staff report is about a matter for which the Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

 

This report responds to a request from Councillor Jim Karygiannis to review the need and feasibility of installing U-Turn prohibitions on Silver Springs Boulevard from Dancy Avenue to Rakewood Crescent (south intersection) in the vicinity of the Silver Springs Public School.  Based on staff observations and an assessment of the traffic conditions and movements in this area, it has been determined that U-turns at this location are not frequent or problematic.  Furthermore, the U-turns provide safe and convenient access and egress to/from an existing layby on the west side of Silver Springs Boulevard.  As a result, a U-Turn prohibition is not justified nor recommended and other traffic management strategies can be explored with staff of Silver Springs Public School to address traffic and parking concerns in this area.

The study would conclude with a final recommendations report which would include new official plan policies as part of a new Secondary Plan for the Golden Mile.  It would also include development and urban design principles, a conceptual master plan and an implementation plan.  The final staff report is targeted to be presented to Scarborough Community Council in the third quarter of 2018.

Community Council Decision

Scarborough Community Council:

 

1.  Requested the Director, Transportation Services, Scarborough District to undertake the design and cost estimate of the reconfiguration of the Ellesmere Road/Borough Approach East and Ellesmere Road/Borough Approach West intersections, as reflected in the Scarborough Centre – Public Space and Streetscape Master Plan, and include the estimated cost of these improvements, including the installation of new traffic control signals at the west approach and the modifications to the existing traffic control signals at the east approach, in the Transportation Services 2018 Capital Budget submission.

Origin

(March 29, 2016) Letter from Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker

Summary

City Council, at its meeting on July 11, 12 and 13, 2012 adopted the staff report titled "Scarborough Centre – Public Space and Streetscape Master Plan" (SC17.22) and, in so doing, endorsed the Master Plan and supported the implementation of the projects and initiatives identified in the plan.  One of these initiatives is the reconfiguration of the two intersections on Ellesmere Road at Borough Approach West and at Borough Approach East, directly south of the Scarborough Civic Centre.  These two intersections have restricted traffic movements and only the east intersection is currently controlled by traffic signals.  The reconfiguration of these two intersections will improve access to the Scarborough Civic Centre and provide a safer and more convenient environment for pedestrians and cyclists.  The proposed reconfiguration also includes tree planting and other streetscaping improvements.

 

In considering SC17.22, City Council requested a second staff report on these improvements on the funding, prioritizing and necessary approvals for the implementation of these improvements.  This staff report, which was received by Scarborough Community Council at its meeting on October 10, 2012 (SC19.19), identified these intersection improvements as Priority 6, of the seven priority projects, for implementation in a 6 to 15 year time frame. 

 

Some of the higher priority projects have now been (or soon will be) complete, including the improvements to the Civic Green and streetscape improvements on Borough Drive.  Therefore, given the endorsement of these intersection improvements by City Council, their prominence as the southern entrance to the Scarborough Centre, and the recent completion of these other civic improvements in this area, it is now appropriate and advisable to proceed with the design and implementation of these significant improvements.

Summary

At the October 6th Community Council meeting motions were tabled to explore the possibility of animating the Scarborough Civic Centre and Albert Campbell Square grounds to include a Canada Day celebration and other events showcasing the public centres that are available to all of us. Please visit the link below to refresh yourselves on this issue. http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2015.SC9.20

 

In this effort, I wish to add an item of new business at the April 5th Community Council meeting, requesting  that Scarborough Community Council permit a brief presentation from my staff providing update to the proposed Canada Day celebrations that are already underway.  As mentioned at a previous community council session, we identified interest in expanding Canada Day celebrations to include an additional campus at Scarborough Civic Centre and Albert Campbell Square.

 

My staff, in conjunction with a professional event planner, have been working on a theme for this day's event that, not only covers the story of Scarborough, but echoes the history of Canada.

 

As well, we will recount some of the events that have already been deemed a success, and highlight some of the proposals that are being entertained presently. Your input and more importantly involvement in this endeavour is greatly appreciated and welcome.
