Origin

(March 11, 2026) Report from the Director, Engineering Review, Development Review, and the Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services

Summary

Transportation Review is requesting approval for the implementation of a left-turn prohibition at the North Queen Street access driveway for the industrial redevelopment at 54 Atomic Avenue. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates transit service on North Queen Street, City Council approval of this report is required. The proposed regulation is needed to address operational and safety concerns related to conflicting turning movements and driveway spacing. Restricting left-turn movements for vehicles exiting the westerly driveway at 54 Atomic Avenue onto North Queen Street will support safer and more efficient traffic operations along North Queen Street.
