Item - 2019.TE4.87

The Toronto and East York Community Council: 

1.  Waived the petition and polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and approved the installation of traffic calming on Brock Avenue, between Dundas Street West and College Street.

2.  Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway to install three speed humps on Brock Avenue, between Dundas Street West and College Street, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. 421G-3347, dated March 2019 attached to the Letter (March 18, 2019) from Councillor Ana Bailao, Ward 9 Davenport.

In mid-2018, I received a resident petition requesting that speed humps be installed on Brock Avenue, between Dundas Street West and College Street, in order to address safety concerns.  Upon receiving the petition, I requested that Traffic Operations staff undertake a speed hump feasibility study.

In late 2018, Traffic Operations reported back on my request to have speed humps installed on Brock Avenue.  In their report, City staff recommended the installation of speed humps on this section of Brock Avenue, as the installation criteria had been met.

Given that speed humps were warranted for installation on Brock Avenue, I informed residents of this by way of letter in early March 2018.  To date, feedback regarding this matter has been positive and in support of speed humps on Brock Avenue, between Dundas Street West and College Street.
