Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Antibes Drive, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is requesting City Council to approve the road alteration on Antibes Drive (north-south segment), south of Antibes Drive (eastbound one-way segment). The road alteration will construct a modular traffic island and will enhance the pedestrian safety at the intersection by narrowing the north-south lanes.
City Council have previously directed Transportation Services to investigate various alternative measures for enhancing pedestrian safety, including a follow-up review of all-way stop control, installation of warning signs, flashing beacons and narrowing of north-south lanes at this intersection.
The assessment has indicated that the proposed road alteration is feasible to discourage higher operating speed by north-south motorists and will not interrupt the flow of two-way traffic at this intersection.
