The decision

2019-09-16 · Toronto and East York Community Council · adopted

As filed

The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Reduced the speed limit on Winona Drive, between Tyrell Avenue and Davenport Road, from 40 km/h to 30 km/h.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

The current speed limit on Winona Drive, between Tyrell Avenue and Davenport Road, is 40 km/h. However, this busy stretch of the road is heavily used by motorists, cyclists and pedestrians alike. The Hellenic Home for the Aged senior's home on this block is home to over 200 seniors, many of whom routinely walk and cycle on Winona and the neighbourhood at large. While concerns over excessive speeding and the request to lower the speed limit have been brought to our offices' attention this year, they were flagged with Traffic Operations previously and staff recommended that the speed limit be lowered to 30 km/h.

However, due to the unexpected changes to ward and district boundaries in 2018, this recommendation never made it to the Toronto and East York Council agenda. After consulting with Traffic Operations again, we are bringing forward the request to lower the speed limit on Winona Drive, between Tyrell Avenue and Davenport Road, from the current 40 km/h to 30 km/h.

Staff recommended

Councillor Josh Matlow and Councillor Ana Bailão recommends that: 1. The Toronto and East York Community Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to reduce the speed limit on Winona Drive, between Tyrell Avenue and Davenport Road, from 40 km/h to 30 km/h.
