The decision

2019-06-25 · Toronto and East York Community Council · adopted

As filed

The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed Traffic Operations staff to work in coordination with the Director, Transportation Planning and Capital Programs to implement changes to the Dundas Street and Jones Avenue intersection, to increase bike safety and minimize bike and vehicular interaction, particularly at the northeast corner, and to report to the September 16, 2019 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council for any required approvals.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Yesterday I visited the intersection of Dundas and Jones with community members and senior transportation staff. Unfortunately the intersection is not wide enough for a full Dutch intersection. However there are a number of changes that can be made to improve cycling safety. The changes that were discussed will require Transportation to think creatively and try out things that have not been done previously in Toronto. This motion directs Transportation to begin that process. I hope you support it.

Staff recommended

Councillor Fletcher recommends that: 1. The Toronto and East York Community Council direct Traffic Operations work in coordination with the Director of Transportation Planning and Capital Programs to implement changes to the Dundas and Jones intersection, to increase bike safety and minimize bike and vehicular interaction, particularly at the NE at the corner, and report to the September meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council for any required approvals.
