Item - 2022.TE34.222

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 Markham Street, between College Street and Dundas Street West.

2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Markham Street, between College Street and Dundas Street West, to install six speed humps, generally as shown on the copy of 'Drawing Nos. 421G-4066 and 421G-4067' dated June 2022 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

In 2021, residents submitted a petition to my office requesting speed humps along Markham Street between College St and Dundas St W.

Residents have observed an increase in local traffic and speeds. The installation of speed humps may assist in mitigating some of the cut-through traffic and make conditions safer for local vulnerable road users, including seniors and children who play, walk, and cycle on the street.
