As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Burnhamthorpe Road, City Council approval of this report is required.

With the COVID-19 lockdown in Toronto, collection of new and typical traffic data is not possible at this time. Once traffic data collection has resumed, staff will proceed to examine the feasibility of reducing Burnhamthorpe Road, between Dundas Street West and Kipling Avenue, or potion thereof, from a four lane cross-section to a three lane cross-section. At this time, as an eight hour turning movement count was available at the intersection of Burnhamthorpe Road and Burnhamthorpe Park Boulevard/Holloway Road, application of traffic data to the traffic control signal warrant was possible. Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals at this intersection. Traffic control signals will provide enhanced safety for vulnerable road users.

Staff recommended

The Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Burnhamthorpe Road and Burnhamthorpe Park Boulevard/Holloway Road.
