As the city filed it

In December 2021, City Council approved the temporary ActiveTO Cycling Network Expansion projects installed in 2020 as permanent installations, including the Danforth Avenue cycle tracks, parking and loading areas and motor vehicle operational changes from Broadview Avenue to Dawes Road. In December 2021, the local Councillor requested Transportation Services staff provide a design solution that includes an eastbound right-turn lane on Danforth Avenue at Main Street to address concerns of traffic congestion and delays on Danforth Avenue, between Woodbine Avenue and Main Street.

Transportation Services staff reviewed the intersection and do not support a design for an eastbound right-turn lane. Every effort was made to achieve the objectives requested and mitigate risks to the best of our ability. The design solution remains sub-standard in a number of areas and therefore, Transportation Services does not support the potential alternation of the Danforth Avenue and Main Street intersection outlined in this report. As Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates transit service along Danforth Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.

Staff recommended

The Director, Project Design and Management, Transportation Services recommends that: 1. City Council not authorize the alteration of the Danforth Avenue and Main Street intersection to include an eastbound right-turn lane on Danforth Avenue as shown on "Eastbound Right Turn Danforth Avenue and Main Street Design, dated May 2022" attached to the "June 23, 2022 Potential Intersection Alteration - Danforth Avenue and Main Street" report from the Director, Project Design and Management, Transportation Services.
