On the agenda
As the city filed it
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Bathurst Street, City Council approval of this report is required. Transportation Services investigated the feasibility of removing the pedestrian refuge island (PRI) on Bathurst Street north of Danby Avenue and replacing it with traffic control signals immediately south of the intersection. The main issue with this PRI is the presence of a near-side TTC stop on the north side of Bathurst Street, approximately 20 metres north of Danby Avenue, as TTC buses servicing this stop can potentially impede approaching motorists' view of pedestrians crossing at this PRI.

In addition, as there is a significant grade and trees on the east side boulevard, the sidewalk/TTC bus stop waiting area is substandard making it difficult for pedestrians to walk in this area, while other passengers are waiting for the bus. While our analysis indicates that based on current motor vehicle volumes, delays and collisions, the installation of traffic control signals at this location is not technically warranted, we are recommending the installation of pedestrian actuated traffic control signals immediately south of Danby Avenue due to safety concerns with pedestrians waiting and crossing Bathurst Street to access the TTC bus stop and Earl Bales Park. The recommended pedestrian actuated traffic control signals will provide safe and convenient crossing of Bathurst Street for pedestrians, including TTC passengers.
