On the agenda
As the city filed it
Many of you recall the collision that tragically killed cyclist Doug Crosbie at Dundas and Jones on May 16th, 2018. In my motion at City Council to allocate some of the additional VisionZero dollars to protected intersection pilots across the city I had intended that Dundas and Jones be one of the pilot protected intersections. However staff have indicated that it is not wide enough to accommodate a fully protected 'Dutch' intersection.

However, this summer I met with Transportation Services and friends of Doug Crosbie to look at creative ways that cyclists could be protected at this intersection. Transportation Services has reviewed this location and have advised my office of some proposed changes to increase bicycle separation from motor vehicle traffic and minimize bicycle and motor vehicular interaction. Following the completion of feasibility assessments, design, and consultation with TTC, it is proposed that a series of safety improvements be made at this intersection: Installation of flexible bollards or planters between the cycle lane and traffic Vehicular stop-bar setbacks Lane narrowing Prohibition of right-turn on a red signal in all directions at the intersection of Dundas Street East and Jones Avenue Minor adjustments to TTC bus stop locations The proposed changes will have no impact on TTC bus operation. Most of these changes can be made without additional authority from Toronto and East York Community Council or City Council, with the exception of additional right-turn on red prohibitions. I want to thank staff for their hard work on this issue. I hope you will support these changes.
