Origin

(March 14, 2024) Report from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

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

 

Toronto and East York Community Council directed Transportation Services to conduct a review of various safety and operational concerns for road users at the intersection of Winona Drive and St. Clair Avenue West, as well as Winona Drive and Barrie Avenue.  This report provides an overview of the assessments and improvements proposed or undertaken by Transportation Services.

 

Transportation Services is recommending a westbound right turn on a red signal prohibition at Winona Drive and St. Clair Avenue West, as well as other minor improvements to refresh/enhance the signs, pavement and markings at the intersection.

 

Additionally, during the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between the posted signs and the existing parking regulations.  Recommendations 2, 3 and 4 will correct these inconsistencies.
