Summary

My office has been working with local residents along Ernest Avenue for several years on measures to address speeding and safety issues along this street. Unfortunately, the pandemic precluded us from taking follow-up action until now. Given the return of pre-pandemic traffic levels and local construction, we have seen a marked increase in speeding through Ernest Avenue and onto surrounding streets such as Edmonton Drive, Faye Drive, Cherokee Boulevard, and Lucifer Drive. I am therefore requesting that North York Community Council approve the installation of five speed humps, generally as shown in the attached drawing.
