The traffic control signals will provide enhanced safety for all road users and is justified based on the assessment undertaken. Removal of the turn and through traffic prohibitions will facilitate full vehicular movements for the extension of Queen's Plate Drive, south of Rexdale Boulevard. The future named public roads within the Woodbine Lands, including the extension of Queen's Plate Drive, south of Rexdale Boulevard, are currently dedicated as public highways, but not yet assumed. The recommendations for the installation of traffic control signals in this report should not be construed as the City's assumption of these future public roads. A companion report, "Traffic Control Signals - 555 Rexdale Boulevard (Delegated)" outlines the required delegated proposed traffic control signals and turning restriction amendments for locations without TTC Service.
