Toronto City Council has voted to install a “scramble intersection” at Yonge and Eglinton streetsThe motion, introduced by Councillor Josh Matlow, also called for one to be installed just further north at Yonge Street and Roehampton Avenue/Orchard View Boulevard.
However, council has requested they further evaluate before implementing it at the second intersection.
According to the city, an average of about 4,500 pedestrians cross Yonge and Eglinton every hour.
Lee Scott is part of a community group called Walk Toronto who have been advocating for a scramble intersection since last year.
As a part of the motion, council directed Transportation Services to undertake coordinated signal timing optimization for the Yonge Street corridor to minimize impacts on traffic operations.
