Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Lawrence Avenue East, City Council approval of this report is required.
Further to a request from a private citizen, Transportation Services staff reviewed the feasibility of installing traffic control signals on Lawrence Avenue East at Valparaiso Avenue.
This report recommends that traffic control signals be installed at the intersection of Lawrence Avenue East and Valparaiso Avenue as the existing conditions meet the technical warrant for the installation of pedestrian crossing protection.
Currently, this location is controlled by a stop sign for southbound traffic on Valparaiso Avenue. The results of our study indicate that a total of 219 pedestrians were recorded crossing Lawrence Avenue East, of which 210 pedestrians experienced delays over 10 seconds.
