Right-Turn Prohibition - Altamont Road at the Access
to Chelsea Gate (108 Finch Avenue West)
North York Centre
The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(February 11, 1998) from the Commissioner of Transportation, North York Civic Centre:
Purpose:
Protection from traffic generated by the development known as "Chelsea Gate" (108 Finch Avenue
West) requires the prohibition of right-turns at the development's access on Altamont Road.
Source of Funds:
As part of the Development and Site Plan Agreement, the cost for the implementation of the required
signage is to be borne by the developer.
Recommendations:
- that the necessary By-law be enacted to prohibit outbound right-turns at the access driveway
from the "Chelsea Gate" development to Altamont Road; and
- the necessary funds be acquired from the developer to cover the cost of the sign installation.
Background History:
Zoning Amendment application (UDOZ-90-026) was approved to permit the construction of a
townhouse development which had access on Altamont Road. To prevent development generated
traffic from infiltrating the local stable residential community to the north, a right-turn prohibition
was recommended at the driveway on Altamont Road.
Conclusion:
As the development is constructed and now being occupied, it is appropriate that the right-turn
prohibition be installed to prevent traffic infiltration from this development into the local residential
community to the north of the site.
