The Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Authorized the Director, Transportation Services, to request the City Clerk to poll eligible householders in English or any other language specified by Community Council, on Richardson Avenue, between Beechborough Avenue and Lonborough Avenue, to determine if property owners/occupants support the installation of speed humps, according to the City of Toronto Traffic Calming Policy and report to Etobicoke York Community Council in the first quarter of 2023 on the findings of the poll.

Richardson Avenue, between Beechborough Avenue and Eglinton Avenue West is a two-lane road classified as a "Collector" road. The regulatory speed limit on Richardson Avenue is 40 km/h with sidewalks provided on both sides of the street. Heavy vehicles are prohibited at all times. The land use in the area consists of detached and semi-detached residential dwellings. This subject section of Richardson Avenue is not within a designated community safety zone and no TTC route provided.

My office has received a petition from residents of Richardson Avenue, between Beechborough Avenue and Lonborough Avenue, requesting the implementation of traffic calming on their street. This motion seeks to poll eligible households for traffic calming and, subject to favourable results, approve their installation.
