Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on St. Clarens Avenue, for traffic calming purposes, generally as shown on the copy of Drawing No. 421G-3910 (September 2021) from the Acting Director, Traffic Management Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District.

Origin
Summary
In August 2020, residents reached out to my office with an urgent concern about speeding along their street and requested via a community-led petition that traffic calming measures (speed humps) be installed as a method of addressing these concerns. Unanimously, the residents surveyed were in support of making this change.
I am requesting that speed humps be installed on St. Clarens Avenue from Davenport Road to St. Clair Avenue West.
