Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission operates a transit service on McNicoll Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is requesting approval to prohibit eastbound and westbound U-turns on McNicoll Avenue at the ends of the centre medians located immediately east and west of Markham Road. Transportation Services also recommends extending the length of the centre medians on McNicoll Avenue by 10 metres on the east side and 35 metres on the west side of Markham Road.
The proposed U-turn prohibitions and centre median extensions will address safety concerns and eliminate vehicle conflicts on McNicoll Avenue. Vehicles conducting U-turn around the centre medians on either side of Markham Road are creating unexpected and dangerous situations for motorist on McNicoll Avenue.
