Improving Pedestrian Safety on Crescent Road - Non-Delegated

Recent site visits by Transportation staff have confirmed this safety concern and also noted operational delays that stopped vehicles are causing for the Rosedale 82 bus. Unobstructed two-way traffic flow is negatively impacted by the narrow road width combined with on-street standing/parking, delivery and construction vehicles plus TTC operations. I am thefore bringing two motions, a non-delegated motion to amend the parking regulations on this section of Crescent Road to address the safety concerns, and a delegated motion for related matters. Under the non-delegated motion: - All curbside activity on the south side will be prohibited during the proposed No Stopping hours of operation 8am-6pm, M-Sun. This includes parking, loading/unloading of passengers and/or goods for all (residents, guests, trades etc.). - To accommodate residents, curbside activities will be permitted outside the prohibited times, i.e. before 8 am and after 6 pm, as recorded traffic volumes during these time periods are lower. - Under the No Standing Anytime regulation proposed on the north side of the street, loading/unloading of passengers is permitted only. Parking or loading/unloading of goods is prohibited under this regulation. This parking proposal would maximize road width improving site lines, transit operations, and unobstructed two-way traffic flow during the prohibited times.
