Origin

(June 1, 2023) Report from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services and the Director, Transportation Planning and Capital Program, Transportation Services

Summary

Transportation Services is requesting approval to install compulsory stop control for northbound traffic on Sunny's Halo Trail at Rexdale Boulevard and to install traffic control signals at the intersection of Rexdale Boulevard and Glorious Song Way plus five (5) future public road intersections within the property at 555 Rexdale Boulevard (Woodbine Lands). Transportation Services is also requesting authorization to prohibit eastbound and southbound left turns and northbound through movements at the existing right-in/right-out private driveway at 500 Rexdale Boulevard, opposite Glorious Song Way at Rexdale Boulevard.

 

The traffic control signals will provide enhanced safety for all road users and is justified based on the assessment undertaken. Prohibition of eastbound and southbound left turns and northbound through traffic movements will prevent unsafe left turns and through movements at Rexdale Boulevard and Glorious Song Way. The proposed stop sign for northbound traffic on Sunny's Halo Trail at Rexdale Boulevard is required, as this is for a future minor public road terminating at a major public road with free-flow conditions at the intersection.

 

The future named public roads within the Woodbine Lands, including the extension of Queen's Plate Drive, south of Rexdale Boulevard, are currently dedicated as public highways, but not yet assumed. The recommendations for the installation of traffic control signals in this report should not be construed as the City's assumption of these future public roads.

 

A companion report, "Traffic Control Signals - 555 Rexdale Boulevard (Non-Delegated)" outlines the required non-delegated proposed traffic control signals and turning restriction amendments for locations with Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Service.
