The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council rescind the eastbound left-turn prohibition in effect from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, bicycles excepted, at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Perth Avenue.

2. City Council rescind the northbound left-turn prohibition in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays, at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Perth Avenue.

3. City Council prohibit left-turns in all directions, at all times, bicycles excepted, at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Perth Avenue.

4. City Council prohibit northbound and southbound through movements at all times, bicycles excepted, at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Perth Avenue.

5. City Council prohibit right-turns on a red signal at all times in the northbound and southbound directions, bicycles excepted, at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Perth Avenue.

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

On July 19, 20, 21 and 22, 2022, City Council authorized the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Perth Avenue. With the planned installation of these traffic control signals, the close spacing to the existing signalized intersection at Sterling Road/Symington Avenue, and due to its current offset nature of the intersection, at this time Transportation Services is recommending prohibiting:

· left-turns at all times and in all directions, bicycles excepted, at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Perth Avenue;

· straight-through movements at all times, bicycles excepted, in the northbound and southbound directions at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Perth Avenue; and

· right-turns on red in the northbound and southbound directions, bicycles excepted, at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Perth Avenue.
