Item - 2021.TE27.61

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Re‐opened Item TE18.77, headed "Traffic Calming - Speed Humps - Rosethorn Avenue, between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue".

2. Deleted Parts 1 and 2 of the Toronto and East York Community Council decision on Item TE18.77 and adopt the following instead:

1. Waive the polling requirements and authorize the installation of speed humps on Rosethorn Avenue, between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue.
    
2. Direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Rosethorn Avenue, between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue, to install nine speed humps, generally as shown on the attached copy of Drawing Nos. 421G-3774 and 421G-3777, dated August 2020.

3. Adopted the following new recommendation:

1. Designate a 30 km/h speed limit on Rosethorn Avenue, between Rockwell Avenue and Rogers Road.

Residents contacted my office in October 2019, requesting the introduction of safety

measures on Rosethorn Avenue as traffic volumes and the speed at which vehicles are

travelling on this street have increased. Speed hump studies have been conducted on

this road and we have advocated for more police enforcement as a means of helping

improve safety but additional measures are needed. By way of re-opening this item, I am

requesting that Traffic Operations staff amend TE18.77 and that speed humps be

installed on Rosethorn Avenue between Rogers Road and Rockwell Avenue.
