The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Authorized the installation of traffic calming (one speed hump) on Earlscourt Avenue, between Morrison Avenue and Rogers Road, generally as shown in Attachment 2 to the letter (June 26, 2026) from Councillor Alejandra Bravo.

2. Rescinded the existing traffic calming (speed humps) on Earlscourt Avenue, between Ascot Avenue and a point 29.8 metres north of Morrison Avenue.

3. Subject to approval of Recommendation 1 above and in conjunction with the installation of speed humps, reduced the speed limit to 30 kilometres per hour on Earlscourt Avenue, between St. Clair Avenue West and Hope Street.

4. Authorized the amendment of Schedule XLV (Part 1) to City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950, Traffic and Parking, to remove Earlscourt Avenue between St. Clair Avenue West and Hope Street, 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).

I have heard from residents on Earlscourt Avenue who have shared concerns regarding speeding drivers travelling through their neighbourhood. This section of Earlscourt Avenue sits just south of Rogers Road and is an important route for residents. Outside this section, Earlscourt Avenue has an existing network of speed humps that has helped improve safety. The gap in this network encourages speeding and dangerous driving. Many residents have shared their experiences involving near accidents and fear that an accident is likely without action.

In a neighbourhood survey, residents on Earlscourt Avenue voted strongly in support of installing speed humps as a traffic-calming measure. This proposed measure will help reduce speeding, combat cut-through traffic, and improve safety.
