Origin

(September 23, 2021) Letter from Councillor Shelley Carroll, Ward 17, Don Valley North

Summary

My office has been working with local residents along Pineway Boulevard since before the pandemic on measures to address speeding and safety issues along this street. In 2019, we worked with 8 80 Cities on a pop-up that brought in new traffic calming measures over the course of a few days. These measures proved very popular with the local community and had a measurable impact on speeding. Unfortunately, the pandemic precluded us from taking follow-up action until now. Given the current reconstruction of Cummer Avenue, residents' concerns about a greater number of vehicles speeding in this stretch are growing. I am therefore requesting that North York Community Council approve the installation of five speed humps, generally as shown in the attached drawing.
