As part of this work, a transportation assessment was conducted and identified opportunities to improve safety, traffic operations, and active transportation connections. This report is a follow-up to TE29.15 and includes a recommendation to prohibit northbound left turns at all times at the intersection of Bathurst Street and Albert Wiggan Lane and a recommendation to rectify an error in an existing turn prohibition bylaw. The proposed prohibition of northbound left turns will enhance traffic flow, reduce potential congestion, and improve safety for all road users in the area. Displaced left turns can be accommodated at the intersection of St. Clair Avenue West and Raglan Avenue, located approximately 150 metres away.
