Origin
Summary
To support this development and future development in the area, a need has been identified for traffic flow improvements at the intersection of Lansdowne Avenue and Brandon Avenue, including the installation of traffic control signals. Transportation staff have reviewed the Transportation Study by GHD, dated November, 2018, and support the installation of traffic control signals in conjunction with the full build-out of the Phase 6 Davenport Village development.
The purpose of this motion is to give City staff authority to start taking the necessary steps to have the traffic light installed at this intersection as soon as possible.
