Item - 2019.NY3.14

North York Community Council:

1. Authorized the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Duplex Avenue and Orchard View Boulevard.

2. Directed that subject to the approval of traffic control signals at the intersection of Duplex Avenue and Orchard View Boulevard, the existing all-way stop control on Duplex Avenue at Orchard View Boulevard be rescinded, coincident with the traffic control signal installation.

3. Authorized the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Duplex Avenue and Montgomery Avenue.

4. Directed that subject to the approval of traffic control signals at the intersection of Duplex Avenue and Montgomery Avenue, the existing all-way stop control on Duplex Avenue at Montgomery Avenue be rescinded, coincident with the traffic control signal installation.

This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws.

Transportation Services is requesting North York Community Council to approve the installation of traffic control signals at the following two intersections:

- Duplex Avenue and Orchard View Boulevard; and

- Duplex Avenue and Montgomery Avenue.

The proposed traffic control signal installations are technically justified. These installations will address safety concerns for all intersection users and provide enhanced guidance over the current all-way stop sign controls at both intersections. These installations will result in the loss of approximately two parking spaces on Orchard View Boulevard and four parking spaces on Montgomery Avenue and may increase delays for pedestrians.
