Community Council Recommendations
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council prohibit northbound and southbound U-turn movements at all times on Bayview Avenue at Nesbitt Drive.
Origin
Summary
The intersection between Bayview Avenue and Nesbitt Drive is hazardous. It is located at the top of a long and very steep hill, where speeding is common. The intersection is close to an underpass, has limited visibility and lacks sidewalks.
U-turns at this location are particularly hazardous because northbound and southbound drivers are frequently travelling at speed and are unable to see the U-turning vehicle until the last moment. Community members have therefore requested that U-turns at this location be prohibited. Transportation Services has reviewed the intersection and concurs that this is an appropriate safety precaution.
