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

 

The Bathurst Manor Neighbourhood Mobility Plan (BMNMP) is a Transportation Services-led study of the traffic behaviours and travel patterns in the Bathurst Manor neighbourhood.

Recommendations for speed humps on four roadways in the neighbourhood were referred to staff and it was requested the recommendations be resubmitted to the May 8, 2024 meeting of North York Community Council.
