Origin

(February 24, 2020) Report from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

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

 

This report recommends that City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals (TCS) at the intersection of Birchmount Road at Merryfield Drive.  Currently, as Birchmount Road is designated as a through highway, this intersection has a stop control facing the westbound approach on Birchmount Road at Merryfield Drive.

 

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.
