Origin

(June 2, 2023) Report from the Director, Planning and Capital Program, Transportation Services and the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

In the Final Report for the Allen East District Plan that was considered by City Council under Item Number NY25.6, a condition was stipulated which directed the Transportation Services Development Planning and Review Area Manager to conduct the necessary studies to introduce new traffic control signals at the intersection of Wilson Heights Boulevard and Joel Swirsky Boulevard, and report back to North York Community Council.

Given the most recent traffic data that is available, Transportation Services conducted a review of the need for traffic control signals at the intersection of Wilson Heights Boulevard and Joel Swirsky Boulevard. Based on this assessment, Transportation Services does not recommend the installation of traffic control signals at the subject intersection given that the required warrant criteria have not been satisfied.

Through future development activity in the immediate area, and within the Allen East District Plan lands, the Area 2 Development Planning and Review unit in Transportation Services will continue to monitor the Wilson Heights Boulevard and Joel Swirsky Boulevard intersection and new traffic control signals will be secured, when justified and warranted. Based on a review of the information contained in the City's Application Information Centre, applications for concrete development proposals within the Allen East District Plan lands have yet to be received.
