Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Keele Street, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is requesting that City Council approve a northbound right-turn prohibition at the intersection of Keele Street and George Appleton Way, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.
This prohibition is intended to discourage cut-through traffic during the morning and afternoon peak hours from using George Appleton Way and James Finlay Way to access eastbound Wilson Avenue. These motorists are avoiding northbound right-turn delays at the intersection of Keele Street and Wilson Avenue.
The implementation of the right-turn prohibition during the peak periods will prohibit cut-through by non-local motorists, however, the right-turn prohibition will also prohibit area residents from turning onto George Appleton Way from Keele Street.
