Summary

As the City continues to improve our street through various Vision Zero road safety principles, local residents have actively been reporting small improvements we can make to provide better safety and security on our roadways.

 

One of these identified improvements is a turning prohibition which will eliminate eastbound and westbound U-turn movements at all times on Roxborough St East, between Yonge Street and a point 95 metres east.

 

The intent of this prohibition is to stop U-turns which have increasingly placed pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers at risk.

 

Transportation Services staff have been consulted and have no objection to the proposed prohibition.
