Item - 2024.NY15.22

North York Community Council recommend that:

1. City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at Bathurst Street and a point 100 metres south of Carpenter Road.

2. Subject to the approval of Recommendation 1 above, City Council authorize the removal of the Pedestrian Refuge Island on Bathurst Street and a point approximately 160 metres south of Carpenter Road, in conjunction with the installation of traffic control signals at Bathurst Street and a point 100 metres south of Carpenter Road.

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

Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals at Bathurst Street and a point approximately 100 metres south of Carpenter Road. The traffic control signals will provide enhanced safety for all road users and is justified based on the assessment undertaken

Transportation Services is also requesting approval to remove the existing Pedestrian Refuge Island (PRI), located approximately 60 metres south of the subject location. The existing Pedestrian Refuge Island will be removed following the installation and activation of the traffic control signals.

The City does not currently own the future public roads west of Bathurst Street and south of Fisherville Road. Installing traffic control signals based on the recommendations in this report does not imply that the City will accept responsibility for these roads in the future.
