Origin
Summary
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
Transportation Services has reviewed the need for traffic control signals to replace the existing pedestrian crossovers (PXO's)at the following intersections:
- Shuter Street at Sackville Street
- Shuter Street at Sumach Street
Based on the assessment undertaken, Transportation Services does not recommend the installation of traffic control signals at these intersections as the warrant criteria were not met. The existing pedestrian crossovers (PXO's) at the above noted intersections were also reviewed by Transportation Services and determined to be an appropriate control.
Transportation Services also reviewed the operational concerns at a number of locations on Shuter Street as a result of the 2020 protected cycle installation, and do not recommend any changes at this time.
