Origin

(February 27, 2019) Report from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

This report is to obtain approval for the removal of the pedestrian refuge island located mid-block on St. Clair Avenue between North Woodrow Avenue and North Bonnington Boulevard.

 

Traffic studies reveal that the warrant or technical justification for the pedestrian refuge island is no longer met at this location since it fails the current environmental criteria for the number of lanes and road width. The refuge island should be replaced with Traffic Control Signals.
