Safety Improvements on Davenport Road, Cottingham Road, Poplar Plains Road and Macpherson Avenue

- Davenport Road and Poplar Plains Road and Macpherson Avenue: installation of traffic control signals and changes to existing turn restrictions to support the intersection realignment being delivered as part of the road resurfacing work, to create a normalized four-leg intersection. The proposal includes changing the westbound compulsory right-turn restriction from all-times to peak times only and adding a new eastbound left-turn restriction to be in effect at all times. The existing southbound left-turn prohibition would remain, due to the geometry of the skewed intersection. Together, the proposed changes would improve safety by providing clear direction for people driving through intersections and would support new, safe connections and crossings for pedestrians and people cycling.

Subject to approval of and in conjunction with the installation of traffic control signals at Davenport Road and Poplar Plains Road at Macpherson Avenue: a. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing compulsory stop control at the intersection of Macpherson Avenue and Poplar Plains Road. b. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing compulsory stop control at the intersection at Poplar Plains Road and Davenport Road/Macpherson Avenue. 4. Toronto and East York Community Council amend the existing compulsory right-turn in effect at all times, from Macpherson Avenue (westbound) to Macpherson Avenue, west of Davenport Road and Davenport Road, south of Macpherson Avenue to be in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00.p.m., Monday to Friday. 5. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit eastbound left-turns at all times, on Macpherson Avenue at Poplar Plains Road. 6. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing compulsory turn in effect at all times, from Davenport Road (northbound) to Davenport Road, north of Macpherson Avenue.
