FINCH WEST LRT PROJECT COMMUNITY LIAISON COMMITTEE MEETING - EAST 18 TRAFFIC ACCESS CHANGES TO ELANA DRIVE

What: In May 2019, Toronto City Council approved a temporary traffic by-law amendment to Elana Drive, which:

• Restricts westbound traffic from turning left on Elana Drive • Permits southbound traffic on York Gate Boulevard to continue through on to Elana Drive.

Duration: From June 10 to October 31, 2019

Why: • Mosaic recommends a permanent amendment of traffic access to Elana Drive to allow for safe LRT operations. • The City of Toronto’s Transportation Services division and Metrolinx require Mosaic to first conduct a traffic study, simulating traffic conditions from such a change. • Mosaic is conducting the study and will monitor, track and report its findings to the city and Metrolinx. • After, the city will review the report and decide on changes to the by- law. 19 MSF – COMPLETED WORK
