Origin

(February 3, 2025) Report from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

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

 

Scarborough Community Council directed Transportation Services to investigate the feasibility of installing a pedestrian crossover (PXO) on Huntingwood Drive at Ridgecrest Drive and report back to Scarborough Community Council in the first quarter of 2025.

 

Transportation Services has reviewed the need for pedestrian crossing protection on Huntingwood Drive at Ridgecrest Drive.  Based on the assessment undertaken, Transportation Services is recommending the installation of a pedestrian crossover (PXO) on Huntingwood Drive.  The proposed PXO will provide enhanced safety for vulnerable road users crossing at this location, destined to/from the park, church, and elementary schools in the adjacent area of Huntingwood Drive.  This installation will require modifications to the infrastructure at this intersection, including one TTC platform, drainage, and trees.
