Community Council Recommendations
Scarborough Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council designate the northerly westbound lane on Kingston Road, between Eglinton Avenue East and a point 30.5 metres east, for westbound right turns only, buses excepted.
Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Kingston Road, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services, at the request of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), due to a new bus route operating on Kingston Road, recommends designating the westbound right-turn lane on Kingston Road at Eglinton Avenue East for right turns only, buses excepted. The "Buses Excepted" tab signs will clearly define traffic lane usage, eliminate confusion and potential for an incident as TTC vehicles continue to travel through the intersection in the westbound direction from the right-turn lane.
