Decision Advice and Other Information
North York Community Council:
1. Authorized a study for an all-way compulsory stop control at King High Avenue and Robbie Avenue.

Origin
Summary
King High Avenue, a residential street intersecting a major road (Wilson Ave), has and continues to face serious traffic and pedestrian safety issues in its current configuration. With a speed limit of 40 km/h, municipal sidewalks solely on the east side of the road, and a pavement width of 8.5 metres, well above City Standards, King High Avenue experiences a substantial amount of reckless and dangerous cut through traffic during peak hours on a daily basis. The residents of King High have collectively voiced their concerns for over several years now, patiently waiting for the City to address the issue as soon as possible. We have engaged City of Toronto Transportation staff, to install new all-way compulsory stop control, left turn restrictions and investigate pavement markings on King High Avenue.
