The decision

2019-07-16 · Toronto City Council · adopted

As filed

City Council on July 16, 17 and 18, 2019, adopted the following: 1. City Council rescind a portion of the existing school bus loading zone in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., daily, on the northeast side of Vaughan Road between a point 15 metres southeast of Alameda Avenue and a point 14 metres further southeast.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

The Oakwood Vaughan Community Organization (OVCO) had reached out to my office to find a solution for sightline concerns identified at the intersection of Vaughan Road and Alameda Avenue. Due to the presence of a school bus loading zone for the Davisville Junior Public School at 529 Vaughan Road, there was an obstruction of sightlines for motorists trying to get from Alameda Avenue onto Vaughan Road. To address the concerns, my office coordinated a site visit with Traffic Operations, OVCO, the School Principal, and Toronto District School Board (TDSB) staff.

At the meeting, it was agreed that the best approach to address this is to amend the school loading zone and allow for more space for motorists to see incoming traffic. Both OVCO and the school support the change, with the condition of installing safety railings for students in the portion that would have the loading zone rescinded, to ensure students are protected from live traffic. The safety railings have been installed by Transportation Services on June 19, 2019, meeting the condition provided. Therefore, I would like to proceed with the requested by-law change as specified underneath.

Staff recommended
