Community Council Recommendations
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council prohibit northbound left-turns, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, on Foundry Avenue at Davenport Road.
Origin
Summary
As part of the Davenport Village Traffic Safety Plan, a prohibition on northbound left turns on Foundry Avenue at Davenport road was proposed.
Daily northbound vehicle backups along Foundry Avenue, caused by attempts to make left turns, create noise and dangerous intersection movements. This prohibition will reduce traffic conflicts and improve overall safety.
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Davenport, City Council approval of this recommendation is required.
