3. Scarborough Community Council reduce the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Denton Avenue between Victoria Park Avenue and Patterson Avenue.

4. Subject to approval of Recommendation 3 above, Scarborough Community Council authorize the amendment of Schedule XLV (Part 1) to City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950, Traffic and Parking, to Denton Avenue, between  Pharmacy Avenue and Patterson Avenue, from being excluded from the Designated Area such that this portion of highway will then be included within the corresponding designated area in Column 1 in Schedule XLV (Part 1).

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

The purpose of this report is to conclude the Oakridge Streets Plan and seek authorization to proceed to the implementation phase.

This report summarizes the study findings and recommends road safety and traffic management changes for implementation in the Oakridge neighbourhood. Recommended changes include intersection safety improvements, traffic calming measures, new traffic control signals, a new pedestrian crosswalk, removal of pedestrian refuge islands, new and refreshed pavement markings, and school crossing guard studies.

Two companion reports have been submitted. A report titled "Traffic Safety Improvements: Danforth Avenue" has been submitted to Scarborough Community Council and "Traffic Control Signals and Turn Prohibitions - Victoria Park Avenue and Wakehood Street" has been submitted to Infrastructure and Environment Committee. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Danforth Avenue and as Victoria Park Avenue is located at the border of two Community Council Areas, City Council approval of changes recommended in the companion reports is required.

A summary of all changes proposed can be found in Table 1.

The estimated cost for the installation of one speed hump is $4,000. Thirty (30) speed humps are recommended, for a total estimated cost of $120,000 phased over multiple implementation years.

Funding of $120,000 for the installation of thirty (30) speed humps is available, categorized as Health & Safety, in the approved 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services.
