Council to decide on traffic signal changes at Avenue Road and Edmund Avenue for De La Salle College access
City Council will vote on proposed amendments to the traffic control signals at Avenue Road and Edmund Avenue to accommodate a private access from De La Salle College. The changes include adding the college driveway to signal operation, blocking certain turns to prevent traffic diversion into nearby neighbourhoods, and adding a new pedestrian crossing on the south side of the intersection.

Why is this story here?
ContainedThis is a genuine decision affecting signal operation at one intersection to accommodate a specific private access. It is bounded to one location and reversible without significant cost. Hard to reverse only if the De La Salle access becomes heavily used, but the institutional weight is modest: one traffic intersection, one facility.Touches a narrow groupThe change affects pedestrians and drivers at this specific intersection and De La Salle College users. The number of residents whose commute or regular route includes Avenue Road and Edmund Avenue is real but limited compared to a major transit line or citywide policy. Most Toronto residents will not notice this in an ordinary week.
