Item - 2026.SC33.63

The Scarborough Community Council:

1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (thirteen speed humps) on Oakridge Drive, between Bellamy Road South and McCowan Road, generally as shown in Attachments 1, 2 and 3, Drawing Nos. TC-785, TC-785-1 and TC-785-2, to the letter (July 9, 2026) from Councillor Parthi Kandavel.

Oakridge Drive is a local residential street that also functions as a neighbourhood thoroughfare between Bellamy Road South and McCowan Road. Residents have raised ongoing concerns about speeding, traffic volumes, and road safety, particularly given the number of pedestrians, cyclists, families, seniors, children, and other vulnerable road users who use this street daily.

Through consultation by the Councillor’s office, residents expressed support for stronger traffic calming measures to help reduce vehicle speeds and improve overall safety and comfort in the neighbourhood. The proposed installation of fourteen speed humps is intended to discourage unsafe driving, calm traffic, and create a safer street environment for all road users.
