Origin
Summary
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.
In response to a site meeting with former Councillor Mary Fragedakis and local residents, Transportation Services staff reviewed the need for traffic calming, specifically the installation of speed humps on Chester Hill Road, between Thorncliffe Avenue and Broadview Avenue. 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 Chester Hill Road.
