1. City Council approve the installation of a pedestrian crossover (PXO) on Thorncliffe Park Drive at a point 100 metres south of the west intersection with Overlea Boulevard.
Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Thorncliffe Park Drive, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is requesting City Council approve the installation of a pedestrian crossover (PXO) on Thorncliffe Park Drive at a point 100 metres south of its west intersection with Overlea Boulevard. The installation of a pedestrian crossover is technically justified and will enhance safety for pedestrians crossing at this location. However, this installation may increase delays for motorists on Thorncliffe Park Drive, as these movements will no longer operate with free flow.
To facilitate the installation of the PXO it is necessary to relocate the TTC stops on both sides of the street in the vicinity of 11 Thorncliffe Park Boulevard. Suitable locations are being determined in consultation with the TTC. Additionally, the recently installed bicycle lanes on Thorncliffe Park Drive will have to be modified slightly to accommodate the PXO and relocated TTC stops.
