Origin
Summary
The Junction Triangle Traffic Management Committee, in conjunction with City staff and my office, have proposed several changes to traffic regulations in the neighbourhood to improve road safety. One of the final proposed measures includes turn prohibitions from Bloor Street West on to Perth Avenue during peak hours. Over the summer months and on several previous occasions, I consulted with the community by way of a letter that detailed the proposed changes. The majority of the responses demonstrated clear support of the turn prohibitions. Therefore, I am presenting this motion to implement these measures.
