Origin

(August 20, 2019) Report from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

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

 

Transportation Services was requested by City Council to submit a report to the September 19, 2019 meeting of Etobicoke York Community Council, relating to the Cycling Network Plan 2019: Cycling Infrastructure Installation report, on the conversion of the existing pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Scarlett Road and Eileen Avenue to traffic signals.  The existing pedestrian crossover is actually located approximately 130 metres south of the subject intersection on Scarlett Road at Bernice Crescent and it is recommended that in conjunction with the installation of traffic control signals at Scarlett Road and Eileen Avenue, the pedestrian crossover be removed.

 

Although not technically warranted, the installation of traffic control signals at Scarlett Road and Eileen Avenue is recommended based on the pedestrian crossing activity in the vicinity, the proposed relocation of TTC stops and to facilitate motor vehicle movements to/from Scarlett Road, as well as cycling movement to/from the future proposed east-west cycling connection to Runnymede Road via Eileen Avenue.
