Item - 2023.TE2.69

The Toronto and East York Community Council: 

1. Directed the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services to request the City Clerk to poll eligible householders on Strathearn Road, between Eglinton Avenue West and Dewbourne Avenue, to determine whether residents support the installation of traffic calming, in accordance with the City of Toronto Traffic Calming Policy.

2. Subject to favourable results of the poll:

a. authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Strathearn Road, between Eglinton Avenue West and Dewbourne Avenue; and

b. directed the City Solicitor to prepare a By-law to alter sections of the roadway on Strathearn Road, between Eglinton Avenue West and Dewbourne Avenue, to install one additional speed hump, generally as shown on the attached copy of Drawing No. 421G-3758, dated June 2020.

I am writing to respectfully request your support to re-poll residents of Strathearn Road, between Dewbourne Ave and Eglinton Avenue West, in order to install speed humps on their street.  Residents requested for the installation of speed humps more than a couple of years ago; however, the process was truncated due to an unfavourable poll.  Recently, there have been renewed concerns around speeding and other forms of reckless driver behavior that endanger kids.  Following confirmation that the moratorium date has elapsed, my office has worked with traffic operations staff to poll eligible residents once again.
