Item - 2022.TE32.81

The Toronto and East York Community Council: 

1. Waived the polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Pinewood Avenue, between Maplewood Avenue and St. Clair Avenue West.

2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Pinewood Avenue, between Maplewood Avenue and St. Clair Avenue West, to install five speed humps, generally as shown on the copy of  'Drawing No. 421G-4007’ dated April, 2022 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

I am writing to respectfully request the implementation of speed humps on Pinewood Avenue, between Maplewood Avenue and St. Clair Ave West. Residents of the street presented a petition to my office a couple of years ago, which was referred to staff for a study. Due to the pandemic delays and the subsequent backlogs, my office has worked closely with staff in coming up with the recommendations as more and more residents continue to complain about speeding and other forms of reckless driving on their street. Many of the residents of the street have young kids who get out and about on bikes and engage in other outdoor activities.
