City Council to vote on prohibiting northbound U-turns on Park Lawn Road between Gardiner and Queensway
Transportation Services is seeking City Council approval to ban northbound U-turn movements at all times on Park Lawn Road between the Park Lawn Gardiner Westbound On-ramp and The Queensway. The TTC operates transit service on this road, which triggers a council approval requirement. The proposal addresses traffic flow and safety on this major corridor.

Why is this story here?
ContainedA U-turn prohibition on one road segment is a genuine traffic management decision but is bounded geographically to one location and segment. It does not constrain future councils or change institutional capacity; a future council could reverse it without significant cost.Touches a narrow groupThe change affects drivers and transit users specifically on Park Lawn Road between two defined points. The TTC operates service there, so transit riders on that corridor may notice, but the effect is narrow to a specific route segment and not felt across the city.
