The decision
2025-10-29 · Infrastructure and Environment Committee · adopted
As filed
The Infrastructure and Environment Committee: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, to investigate and report back in the first quarter 2026 on the feasibility of adjusting signal timings to allow the Spadina streetcar to proceed through each intersection before left-turning vehicles do, in order to speed up the service.
On the agenda
As the city filed it
The Spadina streetcar is seriously delayed, and made less reliable, by allowing left-turning vehicles to turn before the streetcar can proceed through every intersection. This can and should be fixed by a minor signal timing change.
Staff recommended
Councillor Dianne Saxe recommends that: 1. The Infrastructure and Environment Committee request the General Manager, Transportation Services, to investigate and report back in the first quarter 2026 on the feasibility of adjusting signal timings to allow the Spadina streetcar to proceed through each intersection before left-turning vehicles do, in order to speed up the service.
