Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Willowdale Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is requesting approval to relocate the existing pedestrian crossover (PXO) from Willowdale Avenue, immediately north of McKee Avenue to Willowdale Avenue, immediately south of Church Avenue.
Transportation Services is also recommending that the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection Willowdale Avenue at Church Avenue not be authorized as the technical justification for the installation of traffic control signals is not satisfied.
The relocation of pedestrian crossover is based on a number of other factors staff have considered, namely; the pedestrian generators in the area (i.e., school, park and community centre on Church Avenue, west of Willowdale Avenue and high density development on Willowdale Avenue, north of Church Avenue), and the nearby TTC stops. A pedestrian crossover at this location will enhance safety for pedestrians in this area.
