The decision

As filed

The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing one-way northbound operation of the first north-south public lane west of Dufferin Street, between Wallace Avenue and Armstrong Avenue.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

At the March 2020 meeting of the Toronto East York Community Council, TE14.64 was adopted, which converted the public lane west of Dufferin Street from a two-way lane north and south to a one-way designation northbound. This designation negatively impacted residents on Dufferin Street, Wallace Avenue, Armstrong Avenue, and Emerson Avenue. As a result, residents from these streets came together and have submitted a petition requesting that the City's Transportation Services Department convert the public lane back to its original two-way configuration.

Residents strongly feel that the circuitous route to access the laneway and the abutting garages has caused safety issues for motorists and disrupted traffic flow. By returning the public lane to a two-way operation, residents believe this would make local streets and access to their properties safer and more user friendly. Therefore, the purpose of this motion is to recommend that the public lane be returned to a two-way lane.

Staff recommended

Councillor Bailão recommends that: 1. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing one-way northbound operation of the first north-south public lane west of Dufferin Street, between Wallace Avenue and Armstrong Avenue.
