Origin

(January 15, 2020) Report from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates transit service on McLevin Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.

 

This report recommends that City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at the intersections of McLevin Avenue and Greenspire Road and McLevin Avenue and Malvern Street, as the existing conditions warrant the installation of such a traffic control device.  Currently, as McLevin Avenue, is designated as a through highway between Markham Road and Tapscott Road, there is a stop control facing the northbound approach on Greenspire Road at McLevin Avenue, and on Malvern Street at McLevin Avenue.

 

Although, the technical warrants for the installation of Traffic Control Signals are not met, installation of Traffic Control Signals is recommended due to other relevant factors/operating conditions identified in this report.
