Item - 2022.TE34.198

The Toronto and East York Community Council: 

1. Waived the polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Old Forest Hill Road, between Eglinton Avenue West and Spadina Road.

2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Old Forest Hill Road, between Eglinton Avenue West and Spadina Road, to install seven speed humps, generally as shown on the copy of 'Drawing Nos 421G-4208 and 421G-4209' dated June 2022 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

I am writing to respectfully request the implementation of speed humps on Old Forest Hill Road, between Eglinton Ave West and Spadina Road. Residents of the street presented a petition to my office requesting this more than two years ago, which was referred to staff for a study. Due to pandemic delays, nothing has been forthcoming and residents have continued to complain of speeding and other forms of reckless and dangerous driving on the street. My office has worked with Traffic Operations staff in making this request.
