This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

The purpose of this report is to share the findings from the Mimico Neighbourhood Mobility Plan (NMP), a study led by Transportation Services at the request of Etobicoke York Community Council in 2018. The study encompassed an assessment of existing conditions in the study area, analyses to determine appropriate changes to the streets, and a multi-staged engagement process with the public and community organizations.

This report summarizes the study findings and recommends road safety and traffic management changes that can be implemented in the Mimico neighbourhood. Recommended changes include traffic calming measures, installation of all-way stop controls, and residential on-street permit parking.
