Origin
Summary
Broadview Avenue is a minor arterial road with two way traffic that extends from Eastern Avenue to O'Connor Drive. While many roads of similar nature have been reduced to 40km/h, in several sections of Broadview Avenue, the speed limit remains 50km/h. I have heard from residents concerned about speeding on Broadview Avenue and am requesting that the speed limit on Broadview, north of Danforth Avenue, be reduced to 40km/h to bring it in line with other arterial roads in East York.
