Community Council Decision

North York Community Council:

1. Deferred consideration of the item until its meeting on May 22, 2019.

Origin

(March 26, 2019) Report from the Acting Director, Transportation Services, Traffic Management

Summary

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

Transportation Services is requesting City Council approve southbound right-turn and westbound through movement prohibitions at the intersection of Sloane Avenue and Elvaston Avenue, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday to Friday. We will also be requesting approval of southbound right-turn prohibitions at the intersections of Sloane Avenue with Trophy Drive and with Eccleston Drive, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday to Friday.

The prohibitions are intended to discourage traffic during the morning peak hours, from using Elvaston Drive, Eccleston Drive and Trophy Drive to access westbound Eglinton Avenue East. These motorists are avoiding southbound right-turn delays at the intersection of Sloane Avenue and Eglinton Avenue East caused by the Eglinton LRT construction.
