Item - 2019.TE5.83

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Requested Transportation staff study eastbound, left-turning traffic at the intersection of Broadview Avenue and Danforth Avenue and report back with their findings to Toronto and East York Community Council at their meeting on September 16, 2019.

2. Requested Transportation staff to include collision data for the intersection of Broadview Avenue and Danforth Avenue from Toronto Police Services in their report to the September 16, 2019 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council.

The intersection of Broadview and Danforth is a busy intersection used by pedestrians, cyclists, cars and TTC streetcars daily. Immediately north of the intersection is Broadview Subway Station and to the west is the Bloor Viaduct. The intersection is busy with pedestrian and vehicular traffic throughout the day. Residents have expressed concerns about the safety of this intersection, particularly during the afternoon rush hour period, when eastbound traffic becomes backed up across the viaduct as drivers try to turn left to go north on Broadview Avenue.
