Community Council Decision
The Toronto and East York Community Council:
1. Directed the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, to request the City Clerk to poll eligible householders on Rowntree Avenue, between Old Weston Road and Prescott Avenue, 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:
a. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Rowntree Avenue, between Old Weston Road and Prescott Avenue; and
b. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Rowntree Avenue, between Old Weston Road and Prescott Avenue, to install five speed humps, generally as shown on the attached copy of Drawing No. 421G-3773, dated August 2020.
Origin
Summary
Residents contacted my office requesting more safety on Rowntree Avenue as traffic and the speed of vehicles on this street have increased. Speed hump studies have been conducted on this road. We have pushed for more police enforcement as means of helping improve safety but I believe that more can be done and I am therefore requesting that speed humps be installed on Rowntree between Old Weston Road and Prescott Avenue.
