As the city filed it
Broadview Subway Station is located on the Bloor-Danforth Subway line, just north of Danforth Avenue, and is a transit hub where the 8 Cosburn, 100 Flemingdon Park, 62 Mortimer, and 87 Cosburn buses and the 504 King and 505 Dundas streetcars pick-up and drop-off passengers. The station is located near the intersection of two arterial roads, Danforth Avenue and Broadview Avenue, and there is a significant volume and variety of pedestrian and vehicular traffic around the station.

The existing streetcar loop is in very close proximity to Broadview Avenue and can only accommodate one of the new, longer streetcars at a time. This leaves any additional streetcars backed up onto Broadview Avenue, blocking traffic and causing congestion. Toronto Transit Commision buses and streetcars enter and exit the station using Erindale Avenue. The intersection of Broadview Avenue and Erindale Avenue does not currently have a traffic light or pedestrian crosswalk. This presents safety concerns for pedestrians and Toronto Transit Commission vehicles trying to access the station. This motion includes recommendations to protect pedestrians and improve road safety.
