Origin
Summary
Residents in the area of Burnhamthorpe Road between Dundas St. w and Kipling Ave. have been in contact with my office frequently about their concerns over traffic safety on Burnhamthorpe Rd.
I have held meetings with the community and City staff, and a number of potential measures to improve safety have been identified.
This motion directs Transportation Services to investigate and report back on opportunities to improve safety on Burnhamthorpe Road between Dundas Street West and Kipling Avenue, including but not limited to: reducing the speed limit; enacting a Community Safety Zone; installing permanent Watch Your Speed signage; reducing the number of lanes; pedestrian crossing protection; road re-classification; and any additional signage i.e. "hidden driveway" etc.
