On the agenda

As the city filed it

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Finch Avenue East, City Council approval of this report is required for the proposed installation of temporary Traffic Control Signals at Finch Avenue East and Baylawn Drive. These signals are essential to support the construction of a rail-over-road grade separation at the Stouffville Rail Corridor, a key infrastructure project under Metrolinx's GO Expansion Program.

The project aims to improve traffic flow and safety along Finch Avenue East, between Milliken Boulevard and Midland Avenue. To facilitate construction, Metrolinx's contractor will temporarily realign a section of Finch Avenue East. Given the altered roadway configuration and the anticipated increase in construction-related traffic, maintaining the existing stop-control at Baylawn Drive and Finch Avenue East would be insufficient. The installation of the temporary Traffic Control Signals is recommended to provide a controlled crossing for pedestrians and ensure safer vehicle movements for both the general and construction-related traffic. The temporary signals will remain operational until the completion of the grade separation, expected by the end of 2031.
