Origin
Summary
Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, at its meeting on November 12, 2015 in considering a staff report titled "Pedestrian Crossing Protection – Victoria Park Avenue at Donside Drive” (PW9.8), requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to report on the need and feasibility of a pedestrian crossover or traffic control signal at the Conroy Avenue intersection, located approximately 150 metres north of Donside Drive.
This staff report outlines the results of this assessment which concludes that based on current peak vehicular and pedestrian volumes, delays and conflicts at the Conroy Avenue intersection neither traffic control signals nor a pedestrian crossover is warranted at this time. However, should pedestrian crossing volumes increase at this location in the future, the warrants for the provision of crossing protection could be reassessed at that time.
This report is submitted to Public Works and Infrastructure Committee as Victoria Park Avenue forms a shared boundary between Toronto East York Community Council and Scarborough Community Council.
