Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Danforth Road, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services staff has reviewed the feasibility of installing traffic control signals or a pedestrian crossover (PXO) on Danforth Road at Seminoff Street.
The installation of a PXO is justified, however, based on the safety audit of this location, the environmental suitability for a PXO was not satisfied, given that the operating speed is equal to or greater than 60 km/h on Danforth Road. As an alternative, installing traffic control signals at this location would provide a safe and convenient access for pedestrians crossing Danforth Road.
This report recommends that the installation of traffic control signals be authorized at the intersection of Danforth Road and Seminoff Street, as the existing conditions do meet the warrant for the pedestrian crossing protection and are supported under traffic engineering judgment.
