Origin

(May 20, 2025) Report from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services

Summary

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Sherbourne Street North, Elm Avenue and Maple Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.

Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals at the intersection of Sherbourne Street North and Elm Avenue/Maple Avenue. The traffic control signals will provide enhanced safety for all road users and is justified based on the assessment undertaken. Due to the complex geometry of this intersection, for the traffic control signal to operate safely, it will also be necessary to:

- Prohibit northbound right turns on red at all times from Sherbourne Street North to Elm Avenue; and

- Designate Maple Avenue, between Sherbourne Street North and Glen Road (west intersection) one-way for eastbound traffic only.
