Community Council Decision
North York Community Council:
1. Reduced the speed limit from 50 kilometres per hour to 40 kilometres per hour on The Donway East, between Don Mills Road (south intersection) and Don Mills Road (north intersection).

Origin
Summary
The Donway is a ring road that encircles Don Mills Road. to the north and south of Lawrence Avenue East and to the east and west of Don Mills Road.
Numerous residents have expressed concerns over the posted speed limits which go back and forth between 40 kilometres per hour and 50 kilometres per hour.
The area includes several educational facilities, seniors’ residences, retail locations including the Shops at Don Mills and two community safety zones. A change will provide a consistent speed limit for the entire length of The Donway, improve pedestrian and vehicular safety and end confusion. I am requesting a uniform speed limit of 40 kilometres per hour for the entirety of The Donway.
