Summary

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

 

Transportation Services is requesting approval to designate the northbound curb lane on Bathurst Street at Finch Avenue West as "right turn only, buses excepted".

 

The proposed recommendation will define traffic lane usage while allowing TTC buses to utilize the northbound right turn only lane to drop-off/pick-up commuters and legally proceed into the intersection to merge into the adjacent traffic lane.  This recommendation will be executed with the installation of signs and pavement markings.  Physical alteration to the road will not be required.
