Left Turn Prohibition Removal – John Street at Weston Road and Weston Road at Lawrence Avenue West
Origin
(February 22, 2016) Report from the Director, Transportation Services – Etobicoke York District
Recommendations
Transportation Services recommends that:

1. City Council rescind the westbound left-turn prohibition in effect at all times at John Street and Weston Road.

2. City Council rescind the southbound left-turn prohibition in effect at all times at Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue West.
Summary
The purpose of this report is to obtain approval to remove the “No Left Turn” prohibition for westbound traffic on John Street at Weston Road and for southbound traffic on Weston Road at Lawrence Avenue West.

The deletions of the westbound left turn prohibition on John Street at Weston Road and southbound left turn prohibition on Weston Road at Lawrence Avenue West will provide residents living on and near John Street, signalized access to the major arterial roads of Lawrence Avenue West and Weston Road, without unduly impacting the operation of the intersections.

Since the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) provides service on Weston Road, City Council approval of this report is required.
Financial Impact
The estimated cost for removal of the turn prohibition is $200.00. These funds are included within the Transportation Services 2016 Operating Budget.

Traffic Calming/Speed Limit – Mould Avenue, between St. Clair Avenue West and Pritchard Avenue
Origin
(March 11, 2016) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Etobicoke York District
Recommendations
Transportation Services recommends that:

1. Etobicoke York Community Council not approve a speed limit reduction from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Mould Avenue from St. Clair Avenue West to Pritchard Avenue.

2. Etobicoke York Community Council not approve traffic calming on Mould Avenue, between St. Clair Avenue West and Pritchard Avenue.
Summary
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

This report outlines the results of our investigation into installing speed humps and a 30 km/h speed limit on Mould Avenue, between St. Clair Avenue West and Pritchard Avenue. The results indicate that the criteria to justify installing speed humps or a 30 km/h speed limit are not satisfied.
Financial Impact
Adopting the above-noted recommendation does not result in any financial impact; however, if Etobicoke York Community Council decides to approve installing traffic calming devices on Mould Avenue, between St. Clair Avenue West and Pritchard Avenue, the following financial impact will result.

The estimated cost for installing three speed humps is $9,000.00. This can be accommodated within funds allocated by City Council as part of the Transportation Services Capital Budget, subject to competing priorities and funding availability.
