Summary

This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws.

 

Transportation Services is requesting North York Community Council to authorize the installation of a pedestrian crossover (PXO) on Elm Ridge Drive, at a point approximately 100 metres west of Newgate Road. This installation would be situated at the pedestrian path, just west of William R. Allen Road. The installation of a PXO is technically justified and will enhance safety for pedestrians crossing at this location. However, this installation may increase delays for motorists on Elm Ridge Drive, as these movements will no longer operate with free flow. This would result in the loss of three overnight permit parking spaces.
