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.

Transportation Services staff have reviewed the need for traffic calming, specifically the installation of speed humps on Gillard Avenue, between Danforth Avenue and Felstead Avenue, in response to a resident petition requesting their installation. 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 Gillard Avenue.
