Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Marlee Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is requesting City Council authorize that the existing pedestrian crossover (PXO) on Marlee Avenue at the intersection with Viewmount Avenue be converted to traffic control signals.
The installation of traffic control signals is technically warranted and will enhance road safety for pedestrians and motorists at the intersection of Marlee Avenue and Viewmount Avenue. However, it may increase traffic on Viewmount Avenue since it will be easier to cross Marlee Avenue at the intersection.
