Community Council Recommendations

Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

 

1. City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Lawrence Avenue East and Meadowvale Road.

Origin

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

Summary

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

 

This report recommends that City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Lawrence Avenue East and Meadowvale Road.  Currently, as Lawrence Avenue East is designated as a through highway, this intersection has a stop control facing the southbound approach on Meadowvale Road at Lawrence Avenue East.

 

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.
