Community Council Recommendations
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Trethewey Drive at Brookhaven Drive.
2. City Council authorize the removal of the existing pedestrian crossover (PXO) located on the east leg of Trethewey Drive at Brookhaven Drive in conjunction with the installation of traffic control signals at this intersection.
Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to recommend that the existing pedestrian crossover (PXO) at the intersection of Trethewey Drive and Brookhaven Drive be replaced with traffic control signals.
The installation of traffic control signals is justified as the safety audit of the existing PXO on Trethewey Drive at Brookhaven Drive indicated that this location is not environmentally suitable for a PXO, given the number of lanes on Trethewey Drive. As an alternative, installing traffic control signals at this location would provide a safe and convenient access for pedestrians crossing Trethewey Drive.
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Trethewey Drive, City Council approval of this report is required. TTC has been advised on the matter.
