Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Yonge Street West, City Council approval of this report is required.
As per conditions of approval for the development at 1-15 Delisle Avenue and 1496-1510 Yonge Street, the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Yonge Street and Delisle Avenue is required. This installation will include the existing private driveway on the east side of Yonge Street. The technical justification for the installation of traffic control signals is satisfied, therefore, the installation of traffic control signals on Yonge Street and Delisle Avenue/private driveway is recommended.
Transportation Services supports the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Yonge Street and Delisle Avenue/private driveway. This installation will require amendments to the existing traffic and parking regulations at this intersection.
