Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Cosburn Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
At its meeting of June 8, 2021, City Council directed Transportation Services' staff to review and report back on the feasibility of installing pedestrian crossing protection on Cosburn Avenue, between Gledhill Avenue and Oak Park Avenue, and to begin the preparation of the necessary drawings.
Based on the assessment undertaken, Transportation Services recommends the installation of a pedestrian crossover (PXO) at Cosburn Avenue and Gledhill Avenue. The proposed PXO will provide a safe and convenient crossing of Cosburn Avenue for all pedestrians, including TTC passengers, users of Stan Wadlow Park and students destined to/from D.A. Morrison Middle School.
