On the agenda
As the city filed it
Residents and local businesses have contacted my office to share concerns with access to their neighbourhood following the recent installation of traffic control signals and new turn prohibitions at Bloor Street West and Perth Avenue. In working with local residents and City staff, we have identified changes aimed at improving access so that residents are able to travel home or visit their favourite businesses without increasing traffic on local streets.

While this change will address these short-term issues, there is a need for a long-term plan to respond to the wider traffic issues stretching from Perth Avenue to Symington Avenue and to create a safer, better connected road network. This change must be considered by City Council as it is on a Toronto Transit Commission route. Reason for Urgency: Changes to turn prohibitions at this intersection are needed to address road safety and local traffic concerns. Requires Re-opening: Item 2024.TE10.37 (February 6 and 7, 2024 City Council Meeting)
