Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on St. Clair Gardens, for traffic calming purposes, generally as shown on the copy of Drawing No. 421G-3909 (August 2021) from the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District.

Origin
Summary
In October 2020, residents reached out to my office with an urgent concern about speeding along
their street and requested via an online survey that traffic calming measures (speed humps) be
installed as a method of addressing these concerns. Of those that responded, 92% of residents
were in support of making this change.
I am requesting that speed humps be installed on St. Clair Gardens from Ascot Avenue to St.
Clair Avenue West.
