As filed

North York Community Council: 1. Directed Transportation Services Staff, North York District, to work with the community to evaluate their traffic concerns and develop a Traffic Management Plan.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

The Bathurst Manor Neighbourhood is bounded by Sheppard Avenue West to the south, West Don Parkland to the east, Finch Avenue West to the north and Dufferin Street to the west. This area is comprised of a network of arterial, collector and local streets. The land use is mainly residential with parks and schools. Additionally, parts of the study area include commercial uses that front on the arterial roadways. In the past 5 years the Bathurst Manor neighbourhood has experienced a tremendous amount of cut-through traffic due to increased congestion on the main streets as well as the popularity of GPS Navigation Apps.

The main concerns raised by neighbourhood residents include: sheer traffic volumes, excessive speeding, and pedestrian safety. The neighbourhood has asked me to move forward with a Plan that would allow members of the community to work together with Transportation Services as well as my office to come up with solutions to the longstanding concerns, comprehensively. Neighbourhood residents are looking to review all-way stop locations, speed humps locations, flashing beacons, signage, turn restrictions and any other solutions that may help with addressing traffic flows, speeding and pedestrian safety in the Bathurst Manor neighbourhood. Since this will be a lengthy process, residents are looking for a phased approach to the Plan, where when certain aspects of the Plan are agreed upon, the findings will be reported to North York Community Council/Council for approval.

Staff recommended

Councillor Pasternak recommends that: 1. North York Community Council direct Transportation Services Staff, North York District, to work with the community to evaluate their traffic concerns and develop a Traffic Management Plan.
