On the agenda

As the city filed it

The purpose of this motion is to improve pedestrian safety at the signalized intersection of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue, which has been identified as one of the busiest intersections in the City with high volumes of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Currently, the west crosswalk at the intersection is restricted for pedestrian movements due to ongoing construction of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit. The crosswalks at this intersection provide a direct route to the Toronto Transit Commission Eglinton Station, which is a significant pedestrian generator in the area.
