This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Transportation Services staff have reviewed the need for traffic calming on both Sunnylea Avenue East and Glenaden Avenue East. Staff's assessment indicates the criteria as set out in the Traffic Calming Policy has been satisfied on Sunnylea Avenue East. Given that the parallel street (Glenaden Avenue East) to the north may be impacted if speed humps were to be implemented on Sunnylea Avenue East, staff also recommends that the residents of Glenaden Avenue East also be polled to determine whether they support the installation of speed humps in accordance with the City of Toronto Traffic Calming Policy. Subject to positive results of the traffic calming poll, speed humps should be installed on both Sunnylea Avenue East and Glenaden Avenue East, between Prince Edward Drive South and Riverwood Parkway.
