As the city filed it

I am writing to request your support in designating Owen Weinstein Lane, between Westover Hill Road and Flanders Road, as one-way only for westbound traffic. Residents of Westover Hill Road, who have been severely impacted by traffic congestion on their street as a result of the ongoing LRT construction, are requesting this to improve traffic flow. Commuters travelling northbound on Flanders Road use the Owen Weinstein Lane as a cut through (eastbound) to Westover Hill Road in order to access the Allen.

This creates huge congestion at the intersection of Westover Hill Road and Eglinton Avenue West, causing significant backups (stagnant traffic) on Westover Hill Road, impacting the quality of life of residents. Traffic flow would be significantly improved if commuters joined Westover Hill Road from Dewbourne Avenue. My office has also consulted with the local BIA, the Upper Village BIA, who are in support of this initiative.

Staff recommended
