Item - 2025.TE21.29

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Authorized the installation of a speed hump on Crawford Street, between Queen Street West and Lobb Avenue.

2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a By-law to alter the roadway for the installation of one speed hump on Crawford Street, between Queen Street West and Lobb Avenue, generally as shown on Attachment 2 to the report (March 18, 2025) from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.  

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

The Ward Councillor has received concerns from area residents regarding speeding and pedestrian safety on Crawford Street, between Queen Street West and Dundas Street West.  On December 4, 2024, Toronto and East York Community Council requested Transportation Services to investigate measures to address speeding concerns on this street and report back to Toronto and East York Community Council by the first quarter of 2025.

Transportation Services is recommending the installation of one additional speed hump on Crawford Street, between Queen Street West and Lobb Avenue.  This installation will address a gap that exists in the current speed hump lay out on this road segment, providing a more balanced design that should enhance traffic calming and safety for all road users.  Additionally, a regular rotation of a mobile Watch Your Speed sign should also provide additional guidance to motorists on this street and encourage them to slow down.
