Item - 2024.TE18.38

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Dale Avenue, between Glen Road and Castle Frank Road.

2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a By-law to alter the roadway on Dale Avenue, between Glen Road and Castle Frank Road, to install nine speed humps, generally as shown on Attachments 1 and 2 to the letter (November 12, 2024) from Councillor Dianne Saxe.

3. Reduced the speed limit from 50 kilometres per hour to 30 kilometres per hour on Dale Avenue, between Glen Road and Castle Frank Road, in conjunction with the installation of speed humps.

4. Rescinded the parking prohibition in effect at all times on the south side of Dale Avenue, between Castle Frank Road and Glen Road.

5. Prohibited standing at all times on the south side of Dale Avenue, between Castle Frank Road and Glen Road.

Several residents on Dale Avenue report frequent speeding on their street, endangering road users and impeding residents’ ability to leave their driveways. This issue has been compounded by frequent stopping on the south side of the narrow street, forcing cars to drive on residents’ front lawns. Transportation Services agree that speed humps and converting the parking prohibition to a standing prohibition are feasible solutions.
