Committee Recommendations
The Infrastructure and Environment Committee recommends that:
1. City Council prohibit southbound right turns on a red signal at all times at the intersection of Victoria Park Avenue at Kingston Road.
Origin
Summary
As Victoria Park Avenue borders two Community Council areas, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services is requesting approval to prohibit southbound right turns on a red signal at all times on Victoria Park Avenue at Kingston Road. This prohibition is intended to mitigate conflicts between eastbound left-turning Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) streetcars on Kingston Road and southbound right-turning vehicles on Victoria Park Avenue. Due to the constrained geometry of the intersection, the streetcar tracks encroach within the path of southbound right-turning vehicles. This creates a conflict point when southbound vehicles proceed on a red signal. Prohibiting right turns on red will eliminate this conflict and improve safety for all road users.
