Item - 2019.TE3.51

The Toronto and East York Community Council directed:

1. The Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, request the City Clerk to poll eligible householders on Montrose Avenue, between College Street and Dundas Street West, 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, the City Solicitor prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Montrose Avenue, between College Street and Dundas Street West, for traffic calming purposes, generally as shown on the copy of Drawing No. 421G-3291, dated January 2019, attached to the report entitled "Traffic Calming (Speed Humps) - Montrose Avenue" from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

This staff report is about a matter that 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 staff have reviewed the need for traffic calming, specifically speed humps on Montrose Avenue, between College Street and Dundas Street West, to address residents' concerns regarding vehicle speeds.  Our assessment indicates the criteria as set out in the Traffic Calming Policy has not been satisfied. Therefore, traffic calming should not be installed on the subject section of Montrose Avenue.
