Traffic Control Signal & Pedestrian Crossover - Adelaide Street East and Ontario Street

Councillor Moise initiated Transportation Services on behalf of area residents to install a traffic signal for pedestrian crossing protection on Adelaide Street East at Ontario Street. This request, passed in council, is to address increased vehicular traffic and pedestrians crossing Adelaide Street East in this area, and enhance safety for transit users crossing at this intersection destined to the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) stops on King Street East. 

As part of Vision Zero, priorities are to protect and enhance the safety of vulnerable road users, especially school children and those with accessible needs.

The installation of Pedestrian Crossover at the intersection of Adelaide Street/ Ontario Street will likely go in and functional by Q3 2025.

Based on the traffic volume on Adelaide Street East, the warrants require a minimum of 274 pedestrians crossing over eight hours. Also, based on the pedestrian crossing volume, at least 92 pedestrians must be delayed more than 10 seconds.
