Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to obtain approval for the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Lothian Avenue.
Although the warrants for the installation of traffic control signals are not met, the intersection does satisfy the warrants for a pedestrian crossover (P.X.O.). However, a safety audit of the environmental factors revealed that this location is not suitable given the number of lanes on Bloor Street West. Based on the results of the pedestrian crossover audit, staff is recommending that traffic control signals be installed instead at this intersection.
Since the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Bloor Street West, City Council approval of this report is required.
