On the agenda

As the city filed it

Over the last two and half years, my office has received many complaints from residents and parents of Zion Heights Middle School about the speed of traffic at Cummer Avenue/McNicoll Avenue and Leslie Street. Zion Heights Middle School is just south of this intersection and falls along a stretch of Leslie Street that is already 50 km/h. However, north of this intersection, the speed limit increases to 60 km/h meaning that cars often speed past the school and cause some near misses.

I am recommending to North York Community Council that the entire stretch of Leslie Street in Don Valley North be standardized to 50 km/hr, as is considered for major arterials under Vision Zero.
