At the January 19th meeting with Traffic and Transit officials and Councillor Mark Grimes, our committee continued to press for a Legion Road traffic light and were advised that this issue remains on their "radar screen". Other matters tabled included:

a lane addition on Lake Shore Boulevard east of Brookers Lane as well as in front of Players Club

traffic lights at the egress from Newport Beach and Lake Shore Boulevard; this light would be sensor-based and could be activated by cars exiting Newport Beach, the streetcar emerging from the tunnel or by pedestrians; and

the possibilities of better public transit services for our communities to gain improved access to neighbouring facilities; this includes expanding the Prince Edward-Old Mill subway station route to include pick up zones at Marine Parade Drive and Lake Shore Boulevard

Mike Wehkind, TTC Program Manager, Transportation Planning, West District has agreed to establishing a transit sub-committee to develop specific proposals to address new services required. Our Heather Brown, Jim Reekie and Moti Costa will form this sub-committee which bodes well for our working relationship with these important influencers.

Information Archive: Public Meeting April 2005

In April our Traffic Committee representatives met with Mark Grimes (our City Councillor) and City officials of various departments . The concerns raised regarding the clean-up of the Humber Loop Streetcar Tunnel and the Lake Shore Blvd traffic lanes needing repainting have been addressed.

The commitment to install traffic lights at the intersection of Lake Shore and Brookers Lane (opposite Gardiner entry and exit ramps) has yet to be completed. Monarch Developments has remitted the requisite payment to the City many months ago to offset the cost of this installation. Monitoring with officials continues.
