2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway to install seven speed humps on Wellington Street West, between Strachan Avenue and Tecumseth Street, generally as shown on Attachments 1 and 2 to the letter (September 13, 2023) from Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik.
Origin
Summary
At the November 2021 meeting of the Toronto-East York Community Council, a traffic calming review of Wellington Street West between Strachan Avenue and Niagara Street was approved. This review was set to develop options for community engagement in consultation with the local ward Councillor.
Following the approval, residents east of Niagara Street have shared their concern with not being a part of this motion. My office has since connected with engaged residents on Wellington Street between Tecumseth and Niagara earlier this year who have requested speed humps and facilitated a survey that garnered broad support.
