Item - 2022.EY33.54

The Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Delete Recommendation 2b of its decision with respect to Item EY25.41 and adopted the following:

 2. b. Etobicoke York Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway to install five speed humps on Pine Street, between Church Street and Lawrence Avenue West, generally as shown on the copy of Drawing No. 421G-3931, dated August 2021, from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

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 EY25.41, as per the recommendations, to include information that was omitted in the Community Council decision regarding the installation of speed humps on Pine Street, between Church Street and Lawrence Avenue West.
