The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council rescind the Community Safety Zone designation in effect at all times, on both sides of Greenwood Avenue, between Chatham Avenue and Springdale Boulevard.

Origin
Summary
Greenwood Avenue, between Danforth Avenue and O'Connor Drive, is a residential street with a school and park close by. The road is also subject to high traffic volumes due to its proximity to the Don Valley Parkway exit at Don Mills and is used by many vehicles heading south towards Danforth Avenue or Lakeshore Blvd East. The residents who live along Greenwood Avenue are very concerned about the traffic volume and speeding along their residential street.
The implementation of a community safety zone will help to improve traffic safety on Greenwood Avenue. I hope you will support this recommendation.
