On the agenda

As the city filed it

Many traffic safety concerns have been brought to my attention on Avenue Road between Lawrence Avenue West and Eglinton Avenue West. Allenby Junior Public School is located along this stretch of Avenue Road between St. Clements and Castlefield Avenues, and each day the school community faces ongoing serious traffic issues including speeding and unsafe traffic flow. Given that the school is adjacent to a major arterial, it is critical that Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras be installed in this location on Avenue Road.

With further consultation with staff in Transportation Services, my office has been advised that the first step toward installing ASE cameras would be to expand the Community Safety Zone area on Avenue Road north to Briar Hill Avenue and south to Roselawn Avenue.
