Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval for traffic amendments adjacent to the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (ECLRT) Cedarvale Station. The report seeks Council authority to temporarily restrict northbound left-turn movements, during the morning and afternoon peak period, at the intersection of Westover Hill Road and Eglinton Avenue West. The proposed temporary turn restriction addresses concerns from area residents with respect to arterial traffic infiltration on Westover Hill Road.
Additionally, the report seeks Council authority to temporarily restrict eastbound U-turn movements on Eglinton Avenue West between Flanders Road and Westover Hill Road. The proposed restriction will help deter unsafe driver behaviour and enhance traffic safety for all road users.
