Summary

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. At the June 2021 meeting of Etobicoke York Community Council a motion was adopted to poll eligible households for traffic calming. The poll was positive as it met both the minimum response rate of 25% as well as over 60% in favour.  By way of re-opening this item, I am requesting that Traffic Operations staff amend EY25.40, as per the recommendations, to include information that was omitted in the Community Council decision regarding the installation of speed humps on Guestville Avenue, between Lambton Avenue and Eglinton Avenue West.
