Origin

(March 13, 2026) Report from the Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services

Summary

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Highway 27, City Council approval of this report is required.

 

Transportation Services has reviewed the need for pedestrian crossing protection at the northbound, southbound and westbound right-turn channels at the intersection of Highway 27 and Rexdale Boulevard.  Based on the assessment undertaken, Transportation Services is recommending the installation of a pedestrian crossover (PXO) at these locations. The PXOs will provide enhanced safety for vulnerable road users.

 

During the course of the investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the yield sign regulations. Recommendation 2 will correct this inconsistency.
