Deskripsyon

There are two sets of traffice lights on the Queensway very close to each other at Stephen drive and the small mall just to the East. At peak times the lights can turn green for traffic to come out of Stephen drive but if the other lights are at red going East there can be nowhere to turn and it is possible to get stuck on Stephen drive for more than one change of lights. The lights to the mall can also be a red in all directions for non-existent pedestrians, which doesn't help the problem.

This has been an problem for months now, seems no one from the city has addressed it. The problem is worse because the light from the waste treatment plant still goes green even if there is no one coming out from the plant, how about addressing that issue also? This post is a waste of time, we need to send Rob Ford (our mayor) a notice about this problem.......but he has his own set of issues.

How can we get something done about this?

Also coming South on Stephen Drive in early am and late evening the light does not turn green for many minutes and people go through the small mall parking lot in order to make a left hand turn.

Still not sure how this website is used to bring these types of issues to the attention of anyone who might be in a position to do something about them but until I see a comment from such a person I suppose it is worth leaving this open.

My suggestion is to call 311.

A request was submitted on December 14, 2013 regarding this issue. The City is actively working on this issue

I'm not convinced that anyone is 'actively' working on this. How long does it take to get the timing of set of lights changed?

Actually I did all that but when I called my councilman Peter Milzchic (sp) it got done). The issue was the Gardiner Expressway underpass on Park Lawn. Filthy with dead pidgeons and poo.

The timing has improved some what. I've noticed on morning commutes that when the light turns green for Stephen Dr. The queensway traffic is already starting to move out. It's not perfect, but I haven't screamed any obscenities at blocking traffic since November last year.

Lights are back to being broken.

Interesting to note that a previous comment says that as of Dec 2013 the city is 'actively working on this' and yet the problem still exists. I recently had to wait for 3 change of lights to get on to the Queensway.

Yes, it is still a problem and it is because of the Mall entrance lights are not synced to the Stephen Drive lights. They can be Red when East bound cars have green at Stephen Drive It seems they only do something if you direct the complaint to the Toronto Star

i really notice this whenever there is an event in the city, or when traffic diverts off the Gardiner onto the queensway via the Parklawn offramp due to and accident or something. Once traffic really starts to pile onto the queensway, parklawn traffic will hit the red light at the traffic light by 125 The Queensway Mall and sewage plant. The traffic will then back up and pile into the intersection of Queensway/Stephen Dr. preventing anyone from Stephen Dr who was patiently waiting to turn onto the Queensway to stare at a full intersection when the light turns green.

Needless to say, this angers many on Stephen Dr who then pile into the intersection as well causing the secondary mess, preventing the flow of westbound traffic once they get the green light.

It also doesn't help that Food Terminal trucks and vehicles, from van's to semi's attempt to get in in out via that stupidly placed entrance and exit between traffic lights.

This has to be one of the worst thought out and poorly designed area's in the GTA.

If there was an entrance to the food terminal opposite of the end of Stephen Dr. and it was a proper 4 way intersection, that would fix 80% of the problems right there. Make that entrance have 2 paths, one leading to the food terminal, one leading to the mall.

At that point, take the traffic lights out of the intersection by the Sewage plant, they wouldn't be needed any more.

Hopefully the whole area will get overhauled if/when they decide to knock down the Food Terminal.
