Item - 2022.NY30.26

North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals on Keele Street at a point approximately 90 metres south of Maryport Avenue,  subject to the City of Toronto first being in receipt of and securing from the proponent of the 3100 Keele Street development:

a. a letter of credit for the traffic control signal construction in an amount acceptable to the General Manager, Transportation Services; 

b. payment for the cost of the associated pavement markings in the public right-of-way, the signage in the public right-of-way, the timing card preparation, and the signal network integration, each in an amount acceptable to the General Manager, Transportation Services; and

c. permit, application, and the 5-year signal maintenance fees in accordance with City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 441, Fees and Charges.

2.  City Council authorize and direct the appropriate City Officials to take the necessary action to give effect to City Council's decision, including the introduction in City Council of any bills that may be required.

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

As part of conditions of approval at the Committee of Adjustment for the development at 3100 Keele Street, traffic control signals are to be installed at a mid-block location on Keele Street, approximately 90 metres south of Maryport Avenue. The traffic control signals will provide a safe crossing point for pedestrians and cyclists to Downsview Park, as well as facilitate the Downsview Dells trail connection to the Downsview Park trail system.

Transportation Services supports the installation of traffic control signals on Keele Street at a point approximately 90 metres south of Maryport Avenue.
