Origin

(May 12, 2022) Report from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

 

At its meeting of January 6, 2022, Toronto and East York Community Council (TEYCC) adopted, as amended, Item TE30.24 regarding a corridor safety review on O'Connor Drive (Ward 14).  Evaluation of the installation of traffic control signals at various intersections along O'Connor Drive was intended to be included as part of Item TE30.24, but staff's investigation was delayed due to the pandemic and the inability to collect the necessary traffic count data representative of true traffic conditions.

 

In this supplementary report, Transportation Services has now collected and reviewed updated traffic count data and this report provides an evaluation of the need for traffic control signals at three intersections along O'Connor Drive, between Broadview Avenue and Coxwell Avenue.  Based on the assessment undertaken, Transportation Services does not recommend the installation of traffic control signals at these intersections as the warrant criteria was not met.
