North York Community Council:

1. Directed City Clerks to poll eligible householders on Roselawn Avenue, between Fairbank Avenue and Dufferin Street, to determine whether residents support the installation of traffic calming, in accordance with the City of Toronto Traffic Calming Policy.

2. Subject to favourable results of the poll:

a. directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway to install three speed humps on Roselawn Avenue, between Fairbank Avenue and Dufferin Street, generally as shown on Drawing No. NYRD19-0016, attached to the report (April 26, 2019) from the Acting Director, Transportation Services, Traffic Management; and

b. reduced the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Roselawn Avenue, between Fairbank Avenue and Dufferin Street, when speed humps are installed.

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.
