The decision

2019-10-02 · Toronto City Council · adopted

As filed

City Council on October 2 and 3, 2019, adopted the following: 1. City Council reduce the speed limit from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on Kingston Road, between Victoria Park Avenue and Queen Street East.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Upon review with Transportation Services staff, it has come to my attention that the speed limit along Kingston Rd is not consistent. Between Queen Street East and Victoria Park Avenue the speed limit is 50km/h, 40km/h between Victoria Park Avenue and Birchmount Rd, 50 km/h between Birchmount Rd and Midland Avenue, and 60km/h between Midland Avenue and Highway 2A. The portion between Victoria Park Avenue and Queen Street East runs almost the entire stretch of my ward and Transportation Services staff expressed surprise that the speed limit here is still 50km/h.
