The decision

2021-10-13 · North York Community Council · referred

As filed

North York Community Council referred Item NY27.13 back to the General Manager, Transportation Services for further review and to bring a report to North York Community Council.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

My office has been working with local residents along Ernest Avenue for several years on measures to address speeding and safety issues along this street. Unfortunately, the pandemic precluded us from taking follow-up action until now. Given the return of pre-pandemic traffic levels and local construction, we have seen a marked increase in speeding through Ernest Avenue and onto surrounding streets such as Edmonton Drive, Faye Drive, Cherokee Boulevard, and Lucifer Drive.

I am therefore requesting that North York Community Council approve the installation of five speed humps, generally as shown in the attached drawing.

Staff recommended

Councillor Shelley Carroll recommends that North York Community Council: 1. Authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Ernest Avenue, between Edmonton Drive and Victoria Park Avenue, despite poll results that did not satisfy the polling criteria for the installation of speed humps pursuant to the City's Traffic Calming Policy. 2. Direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway for the installation of six speed humps on Ernest Avenue, between Edmonton Drive and Victoria Park Avenue, generally as shown on drawing number NYRD21-0024, dated September 2021 and attached to the letter dated September 23, 2021 from Councillor Shelley Carroll.
