Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a bus service on Military Trail, City Council approval of this report is required.
This report recommends that City Council authorize the installation of a pedestrian crossover at the intersection of Military Trail and Bobmar Road following the installation of a sidewalk on the southwest side of Military Trail, as a minimum, between at least Bobmar Road and Gladys Road. Currently, as Military Trail is designated as a through highway, this intersection has a stop control facing the southbound approach on Military Trail and Bobmar Road.
Although, the technical warrants for the installation of a pedestrian crossover are not currently met, the installation of a pedestrian crossover is recommended contingent upon the installation of a sidewalk designed to allow safe accessible movements of pedestrians and those using assistive devices along both sides of Military Trail.
