Origin

(May 10, 2018) Report from the Acting Director, Transportation Services, North York District

Summary

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Overlea Boulevard, City Council approval of this report is required.

 

Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals at the intersection of Overlea Boulevard and Leaside Park Drive.

 

The installation of traffic control signals is technically justified and will enhance safety for all road users. However, this installation may increase delays for motorists on Overlea Boulevard, as these movements will no longer operate with free flow. Additionally, there are civil modifications required to the centre median on Overlea Boulevard as part of this signal installation, which will increase the costs and delay the installation.
