The decision
2023-06-20 · North York Community Council · adopted

North York Community Council: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services, to replace the "Do Not Block Driveway" sign for the driveway to 1900 Sheppard Avenue East with a sign at least 50 per cent larger.
On the agenda
As the city filed it
Sheppard Avenue East is one of the busiest roadways in Don Valley North. Over the last several years, residents who reside in the condominium complex at 1900 Sheppard Avenue East also known as 'Crossroads' have seen a significant increase in vehicular congestion, and have expressed traffic safety concerns about access and egress into and out of the complex. A "Do Not Block Driveway" sign currently in place has been insufficient to address these issues and this motion recommends the installation of a larger sign and to bring it into sightline to address these concerns.

The entrance to the condominium complex is located right next to a busy Toronto Transit Commission bus stop, with the bus lane also being utilized by vehicles turning right to enter Highway 404 located one intersection over. The current 'Do Not Block Driveway' sign is installed on a hydro pole with multiple other signs located right next to the property entrance and is hidden from a driver's view due to the placement of the Highway 404 sign on the boulevard. From a distance, the sign is not visible to drivers and provides no advanced warning of the driveway, and with the sign being placed out of view had made turning into and out of the property dangerous. In response to residents' concerns and staff recommendation, we are requesting that the sign and placement of the pre-existing sign is improved, in order to ensure that drivers are given fair warning about driveway access to the property.
Staff recommended
Councillor Shelley Carroll recommends that: 1. North York Community Council direct Transportation Services to replace the "Do Not Block Driveway" sign for the driveway to 1900 Sheppard Avenue East with a sign at least 50 per cent larger.
