Summary

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

 

Transportation Services recommends prohibiting U-turns on East Avenue, between Baronial Court and Golders Green Avenue.  Prohibiting U-turns will provide a safer environment for all road users along this section of East Avenue, which is located adjacent to William G. Davis Junior Public School.

 

This report also recommends prohibiting eastbound left turns at the south driveway of William G. Davis Junior Public School.  Prohibiting eastbound left turns will prevent pedestrian and vehicle conflicts, reduce congestion and maintain traffic flow in the area.
