Item - 2020.TE18.77

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Directed the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, to request the City Clerk to poll eligible households on Rosethorn Avenue, between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue, to determine whether residents support the installation of traffic calming measures, in accordance with the City of Toronto Traffic Calming Policy.

2. Subject to favourable results of the poll:

a. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Rosethorn Avenue, between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue; and

b. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Rosethorn Avenue, between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue, to install nine speed humps, generally as shown on the attached copy of Drawing Nos. 421G-3774 and 421G-3777, dated August 2020.

Residents contacted my office requesting the introduction of safety measures on Rosethorn Avenue as traffic volumes and the speed at which vehicles are travelling on this street have increased. Speed hump studies have been conducted on this road. We have advocated for more police enforcement as a means of helping improve safety but additional measures are needed. I am therefore requesting that speed humps be installed on Rosethorn Avenue between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue.
