Transportation Services has received sightline obstruction concerns from area residents due to the above mentioned covered and protected walkway on the northwest corner of Yonge Street and Elm Street. Based on a site investigation, staff has determined that the covered walkway creates a sightline obstruction for eastbound motorists on Elm Street, turning left at Yonge Street. The developer advised that the covered walkway cannot be modified to address the sightline concerns, nor can it be removed, as it provides pedestrians a safe pathway around the construction staging area.
Staff recommended
The Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, recommends that: 1. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit eastbound left-turns at all times on Elm Street at Yonge Street, from January 15, 2025 to November 30, 2027.
