As the city filed it
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Steeles Avenue East, City Council approval of this report is required. Transportation Services is requesting City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Steeles Avenue East and Waggoners Wells Lane. The installation of traffic control signals is justified based on pedestrian crossing activity in the vicinity of the intersection; approximately 1,000 metre distance between crossing protection; TTC bus stops at the intersection; five lane cross section; traffic volume on Steeles Avenue East; and installing signals will likely draw pedestrians to cross at the intersection since it will be safer than midblock.
