As the city filed it

In 2011, the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Sheppard Avenue West and Yeomans Road/Bryant Street was approved by North York Community Council. At that time, Council also approved northbound and southbound straight through prohibitions to be in effect at all times. These prohibitions were intended to address residents' concerns with increased traffic infiltration resulting from the signal installation.

It has been noted by cyclists that these prohibitions prevent them from crossing Sheppard Avenue West at this intersection. Accordingly, the northbound and southbound straight through prohibitions can be amended to exempt bicycles. Transportation Services staff have reviewed this proposal and have no objection to these amendments.
