Turn Prohibitions Buses Excepted - Bloor Street West and Dufferin Street

However, recent service changes to the 402 Parkdale community bus route in conjunction with the pre-existing prohibitions has had a negative impact on service reliability. The TTC has since advised Transportation Services that the northbound left and eastbound right turns at Bloor Street West and Dufferin Street is utilized by the 402 Parkdale community bus, which operates 8 trips per day, week days only, between 9:30am to 6:00pm on an approximately one-hour headway. For this reason, the TTC has requested an exemption from the existing northbound left turn prohibition at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Dufferin Street. This prohibition has been in place for several years to prevent turning motorists from impeding through traffic in the shared lane. Given the infrequency of turns (approximately two) made by the 402 Parkdale bus at Bloor Street West and Dufferin Street in addition to operational concerns, I am recommending that the TTC be exempted from the turn prohibitions at the subject location, which in turn will create a more efficient and reliable transit system. Transportation Services has no objections to the proposed changes.
