Item - 2026.SC32.19

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council prohibit northbound and southbound U-turn movements at all times on Orton Park Road, between Merkley Square and Ladysbridge Drive (north intersection).

2. City Council prohibit westbound left turns at all times at Orton Park Road and the driveway access at 125 Orton Park Road, located on the east side of Orton Park Road, opposite Brimorton Drive.

3. City Council prohibit movements at all times to Brimorton Drive at Orton Park Road, from the driveway access at 125 Orton Park Road, located on the east side of Orton Park Road, opposite Brimorton Drive.

4. City Council prohibit stopping, Monday to Friday, on the east side of Orton Park Road, between a point 119 metres south of Brimorton Drive and a point 13 metres further south.

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

Transportation Services is recommending the following traffic amendments in front of George B. Little Public School, located on the east side of Orton Park Road at Brimorton Drive:

• Prohibiting northbound and southbound U-turn movements on Orton Park Road, fronting the school
• Prohibiting westbound left turn and through movements from the school's driveway, immediately north of Brimorton Drive

The proposed changes will improve the traffic flow and safety for all road users in front of the school.  Additionally, improvements were identified in front of St. Mark's United Church, which is located on the east side of Orton Park Road, immediately south of the school.  Transportation Services is also recommending that stopping be prohibited from Monday to Friday at the church's driveway to ensure that no pick-up and drop-off activities occur adjacent to the driveway during the school's operating times.

These recommendations are being made in consultation with the George B. Little Public School representatives, St. Mark's United Church staff, and the Councillor’s office.
