 To:Chairman and Members of North York Community Council

 From:Jim Kinrade,

Commissioner of Transportation

North York Civic Centre

 Subject:Turn Restriction: Barber Greene Road

North York Don Park

 Purpose:To remove the existing "No Left Turn" restriction for westbound motorists on Barber Green Road, at the first driveway west of Don Mills Road.

  Source of funds:

 All costs associated with the removal of the turn restriction and signs are included within the 1998 operating budget.

 Recommendations:

 This department recommends that Schedule XV of By-law #31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to delete the "No Left Turn" restrictionfor westbound traffic on Barber Greene Road at the first driveway access west of Don Mills Road.

 Council Reference/Background/History:

 Currently, westbound traffic on Barber Green Road is prohibited form accessing the most easterly driveway access associated with the commercial property on the southwest corner of the Barber Greene Road/Don Mills Road intersection.

 Discussion:

 As a result of the recent permanent closure of the driveway access, which was part of a development agreement between the property owner, Chrysler Canada Limited and the former City of North York, traffic can no longer utilize the access.

 In view of closure of the driveway, the current signing and by-law are no longer required, and as such, should be removed and deleted.

Conclusions:

 This department supports the removal of the westbound left turn restriction on Barber Greene Road, at the first driveway west of Don Mills Road.
