Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Ellesmere Road, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is requesting approval to designate the westbound right-turn lane on Ellesmere Road at Victoria Park Avenue for right-turns only, buses excepted. This by-law will clearly define traffic lane usage and eliminate confusion as TTC vehicles continue to travel through the intersection in the westbound direction from the right-turn lane.
