October 21, 1999

Dear Ms. Wong:

At an in camera meeting on Wednesday, October 20, 1999, the Commission considered the attached report entitled, "Bessarion Station - Reinstatement of Centre Left Turn Lane on Sheppard Avenue (Bessarion Station)."

The Commission adopted the Recommendation contained in the above report, as listed below:

"It is recommended that the Committee of the Whole:

1. confirm the elimination of the left turn lane and due to the significant cost implications to the project not reinstate the lane,

2. endorse the addition of street lighting, a flashing light highlighting the 40 kph speed limit, use of paid duty police officers (during busy retail periods) and proper lane markings through the construction zone as the preferred solution to address the perceived access and safety concerns, and

3. forward this report to the Works Committee for consideration at its meeting of November 3, 1999 in conjunction with the motion made by Councillor Shiner at the September 8, 1999 Works Committee meeting to reinstate the centre left turn lane on Sheppard Avenue."

The foregoing is forwarded to the City Works Committee for consideration at its meeting on November 3, 1999 in conjunction with Councillor Shiner's motion concerning the above noted subject matter.

Sincerely,

Vincent Rodo

General Secretary
