The decision

2020-10-07 · North York Community Council · adopted

As filed

North York Community Council: 1. Designated the westerly southbound lane on Skymark Drive, between Finch Avenue East and point 50 metres north, for southbound right-turns only at all times.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Residents have brought it to my attention that the right-turn lane markings were not replaced in the southbound curb lane at the intersection of Skymark Drive at Finch Avenue East after construction in 2019. As a result, southbound motorists are traveling straight through from the curb and median lanes to enter a driveway on the south side of the intersection. Since the driveway is wide enough for only one vehicle, drivers are merging in the intersection and thereby compromising safety.

There is also a skew to the alignment of the driveway that exacerbates this situation. Therefore, it is recommended that the southbound curb lane on Skymark Drive at Finch Avenue East be designated for right-turns only. Transportation Services supports this designation.
