The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council designate a Community Safety Zone in effect at all times, on both sides of Blake Street, between Strathcona Avenue and Boultbee Avenue.

Origin
Summary
Blake Street, between Strathcona Avenue and Boultbee Avenue, is a residential street with two schools, a community centre and near each other. The residents who live on Blake Street are concerned about the volume of traffic and speeding along their residential street. Many children and parents utilize it often to either travel north to Earl Grey Senior Public or south to Blake Street Junior Public School.
Additionally, I hope you support my recommendation to move the Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) from Strathcona west of Blake Street, to a location on Blake Street once it is designated as a Community Safety Zone.
The implementation of a community safety zone and installation of an ASE will help improve traffic and pedestrian safety on Blake Street. I hope you will support my recommendation.
