As the city filed it

This motion authorizes City staff to implement a Heavy Truck traffic prohibition on Garratt Boulevard between Wilson Avenue and Gilley Road to maintain safe two-way traffic on Garratt Boulevard. Construction and other industry traffic has been heavy in this area and will only increase in volume as the Downsview lands north of Ancaster are developed. Alternative route for construction traffic is via Dufferin Street, Beffort Road, and Hanover Road.
