Summary
Transportation Services is requesting approval from Toronto and East York Community Council to reduce the speed limit from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on Dufferin Street, between Queen Street West and College Street.
In response to resident concerns, Transportation Services staff reviewed a request for a 40 km/h speed limit on Dufferin Street, between Queen Street West and Sylvan Avenue. The results of the assessment indicate that the more appropriate speed limit on this section of Dufferin Street would be 40 km/h.
As this staff report concerns a minor arterial roadway, 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.
