Item - 2022.TE34.240

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Re-opened Item TE.29.74 titled “Additional Speed Hump on Hillsdale Avenue East, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road” with respect to Recommendation 2.

2. Replaced Recommendation 2 with the following:

2. Direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter section of the roadway to install one speed hump on Hillsdale Avenue East, for traffic calming purposes, generally as shown on the copy of Drawing No. 421G-3963, dated November 2021, from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

 I am writing to request your support in re-opening item TE29.74 in order to amend the second recommendation toward installing an additional speed hump on Hillsdale Ave East, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road.  Traffic Operations staff brought it my office's attention that a wrong date was provided for the technical drawing.

Despite the existing speed humps, speeding is a major problem on a section of the street, especially between nos. 176 and 244 Hillsdale Ave East due to an inadequate number of speed humps on that section.  Traffic Operations staff visited the location, and identified that it is feasible to install an additional hump in the vicinity of nos. 226 and 227 Hillsdale Ave East to address the speeding and safety concerns.
