Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission operates a transit service on Don Mills Road, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals at the intersection of Don Mills Road and Rochefort Drive and rescind the existing southbound and westbound, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday left-turn prohibitions at the intersection. Rescinding the turn prohibitions will result in the traffic control signals justification criteria being met. Traffic signals will enhance safety for all road users and are justified based on the assessment undertaken. This will result in the loss of approximately six pay and display parking spaces.
