Item - 2024.TE13.48

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 Lake Shore Boulevard East between Woodbine Avenue and a point 200 metres west of Lower Coxwell Avenue.
 

2. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services include the Community Safety Zone located between Woodbine Avenue and a point 200 metres west of Lower Coxwell Avenue for consideration when determining an appropriate location for a permanent Automated Speed Enforcement camera within Ward 19 – Beaches-East York

The purpose of this motion is to request that Council designate a Community Safety Zone on Lake Shore Boulevard East, west of Woodbine Avenue. The motion also requests that Transportation Services include this Community Safety Zone for consideration when determining an appropriate location for a permanent Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) camera within Beaches-East York.

This motion responds to a long-standing request from the community to improve road safety at Lake Shore Boulevard East and Woodbine Avenue. This is an area that is heavily used by residents and visitors accessing Woodbine Beach, especially during annual events like the Canada Day fireworks and Winter Stations. The creation of a Community Safety Zone - and the subsequent installation of ASE cameras - will help to make this area safer for all those who come to Woodbine Beach.
