Origin
Summary
This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws.
Transportation Services is requesting North York Community Council authorize a speed limit reduction from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on two sections of Sweeney Drive, between Victoria Park Avenue and the west end of the street.
The implementation of a 40 km/h speed limit on these sections is warranted and will provide a consistent speed limit over the entire length of Sweeney Drive. The lowered speed limit will promote reduced travel speeds and provide a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists, which includes students destined to/from two nearby elementary schools.
