The Toronto and East York Community Council:

Origin
Summary
I am kindly asking for your support of my motion to traffic calming along Oriole Road, between Lonsdale Road and Heath Street West.
I have heard many concerns from neighbours regarding excessive speeding on Oriole Road, partially due to motorists using Oriole Road as a means of avoiding Avenue Rd. The street is often busy with kids, elderly community members, and other vulnerable road users. I am recommending the installation of speed humps to help reduce speeding, discourage cut-through traffic and improve safety for residents moving through the neighbourhood.
