Traffic Safety and Noise Pollution Measures in Yorkville

These motorists are putting residents' safety at risk, keeping them up at night, and significantly impacting their quality of life. The City's noise bylaw falls short when it comes to the prohibition of amplified vehicular noise. Furthermore, there are significant service gaps with respect to enforcement action against stunt drivers and street racers. A number of my colleagues on City Council have recently put forward motions directing Transportation, MLS, and Toronto Police to report back to Council and various Committees in the coming months on how the City can make greater investment into technology and resources to fight this noise and dangerous driving. However, in order to ensure that Yorkville is a safe and liveable environment, additional action is necessary. Where possible, Community Council must take steps to reduce the speed and danger posed by these vehicles, through provision of the following measures as quickly as possible.

If the area is already a designated Community Safety Zone, to add additional signage to that effect. d. The potential to install Automated Speed Enforcement on Avenue Road, immediately north of the Yorkville Avenue intersection. e. The potential to install "Quiet: Residential Area" signs on Yorkville's residential streets.
