Origin
Summary
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Bloor Street West, City Council approval of this report is required.
Transportation Services has reviewed the need to replace the existing School Speed Zone (40 km/h speed limit when flashing) on Bloor Street West in the area of St. Clement Catholic School, with a 40 km/h speed limit that is in effect at all times. Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) legislation does not allow Automated Speed Enforcement to be conducted within School Speed Zones that are 40 kilometres per hour when flashing. Amending the speed limit from a School Speed Zone to a 40 kilometres per hour speed limit at all times will allow for Automated Speed Enforcement to be conducted on Bloor Street West in the area of the school.
