Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Queen Street West, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services has reviewed the need for traffic control signals at Queen Street West and Fuller Avenue. Based on the assessment undertaken, Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals at this intersection. The installation is recommended based on vulnerable pedestrian crossing activity in the vicinity. Traffic control signals will enhance safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists using this intersection.
During the investigation, Transportation Services discovered a discrepancy between the by-lawed parking regulations and the posted signage on both sides of Queen Street West, between Macdonell Avenue and Callender Street, as well as Beaty Avenue and Jameson Avenue. Recommendations 3, 4 and 5 will rectify these inconsistencies.
