1. City Council prohibit northbound right-turns, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, at the intersection of Keele Street and George Appleton Way.
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.
