Proposed Introduction of "Do No Enter" Prohibition:
5451 and 5453 Dundas Street West (Markland-Centennial)
The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (March30, 1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 2:
Purpose:
To amend the by-law to prohibit inbound traffic at the easterly driveway and outbound traffic at the westerly driveway at
the subject property.
Funding Sources:
The costs associated with the installation of the appropriate signage is the responsibility of the property owner.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that;
(1)entrance to the easterly driveway to No. 5451 and No. 5453 Dundas Street West be prohibited;
(2)exit to the westerly driveway to No. 5451 and No. 5453 Dundas Street West be prohibited; and
(3)the appropriate City officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to give effect to the foregoing,
including the introduction in Council of any bills that may be required.
Background:
As a condition of site plan approval, to ensure counter-clockwise site traffic circulation, the easterly access to No. 5451 and
No. 5453 Dundas Street West would be designated as one-way outbound operation only and the westerly access a one-way
inbound operation only through appropriate signage and pavement markings and by by-law (map Attachment No. 1, Site
Plan Attachment No. 2). The "Do Not Enter" prohibitions are necessary to minimize the potential for vehicular conflict at
this site as well as to maintain safe and efficient traffic flow on Dundas Street West.
Discussion:
The development at No. 5451 and No. 5453 Dundas Street West has proceeded and is now occupied. The "Do Not Enter"
prohibition will increase motorists awareness of the intended operation of the driveways and allow for enforcement by the
Toronto Police Service.
Conclusion:
The "Do Not Enter" prohibitions at the driveways to No. 5451 and No. 5453 Dundas Street West will improve traffic
safety, and allow for enforcement of illegal movements to and from the site.
