"hidden driveway" etc.. Transportation Services staff must conduct traffic studies before implementing many of the measures listed above. Due to impacts of COVID-19, Transportation Services was not able to report back to the Etobicoke York Community Council on June 9, 2020. Traffic studies were suspended effective March 19, 2020, and Traffic Operations staff were reassigned to other priority projects within the City, therefore, a report to the June 9, 2020 Etobicoke York Community Council was not provided. I am requesting that Transportation Services staff report to the next possible meeting of Etobicoke York Community Council with responses to each of the urgent safety requests listed above.
