Item - 2022.TE34.199

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 Robina Avenue, between Jesmond Avenue and Holland Park Avenue

2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Robina Avenue, between Jesmond Avenue and Holland Park Avenue, to install four speed humps, generally as shown on the copy of 'Drawing No. 421G-4300' dated June 2022 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

3. Reduced the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Robina Avenue, between Holland Park Avenue and Vaughan Road, in conjunction with the installation of the speed humps.

I am writing to respectfully request the implementation of speed humps on Robina Ave, between Jesmond Ave and Holland Park Ave. Residents of the street presented a petition to my office a couple of years ago, which was referred to staff for a study. Though the warrants for the speed humps were not met, residents continue to complain about speeding and other forms of reckless driving on their street on a daily basis. Several residents have young kids. My office reviewed the concerns with Traffic operations staff and we collectively identified this location as a priority for the installation of speed humps.
