Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Old Finch Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is requesting approval to implement a heavy truck prohibition, to be in effect at all times, on Old Finch Avenue. This proposed regulation is intended to reduce heavy truck activity within the Morningside Heights residential neighbourhood, as well as on the adjacent Sewells Road bridge and along the Sewells Road underpass. The enactment of the heavy truck prohibition will also allow for enforcement by the Toronto Police Service under the Highway Traffic Act.
A companion report, titled "Heavy Truck Prohibitions - Old Finch Avenue and Sewells Road" outlines the required regulations for the adjacent street sections without TTC service.
