Summary

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Construction for Contract Number 21ECS-LU-01TT for the Fairbank Silverthorn Basement Flooding Protection Project is underway. The intersections of Bicknell Avenue and Nashville Avenue, and Bicknell Avenue and Westbury Crescent are closed for an extended duration up to December 2024 due to construction of deep shafts which are required to facilitate tunneling.

Transportation Services and Engineering and Construction Services are requesting approval to install temporary all-way stop control at the intersection of Bicknell Avenue and Westbury Crescent, to enhance safety for all road users.

While reviewing Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950, §950-1326. Schedule XXVII - Compulsory Stops, Transportation Services noticed that Westbury Crescent is incorrectly listed as Westbury Avenue; this report also seeks to correct that reference by deleting "Avenue" and replacing it with "Crescent".
