On the agenda

As the city filed it

Residents have frequently reached out to my office with concerns over speeding on St Clair Avenue East and on O'Connor Drive. To improve safety along these roads, I am requesting that speed limit reductions be implemented along these roads and communicated through new signage installations. As outlined in the City of Toronto's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy, higher speeds can contribute to higher risk of serious injury and fatalities.
