The decision

2022-05-26 · Toronto and East York Community Council · adopted

As filed

The Toronto and East York Community Council directed: 1. The General Manager, Transportation Services to establish a comprehensive neighbourhood streets plan for the North Corso Italia neighbourhood, bounded by Rogers Road, Dufferin Street, St. Clair Avenue West and Prospect Cemetery, including a review and analysis of the recommendations made by the North Corso Traffic Management Committee and consideration of any other appropriate measures to address the issues raised by the community or identified by City staff.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Traffic safety and calming in the North Corso Italia neighbourhood of Ward 9 has been an ongoing issue. Being in close proximity to arterial roadways such as Rogers Road, Dufferin Street, and St. Clair Avenue West, this neighbourhood is often subject to vehicles travelling at high speeds, cut-through traffic, congestion, and noise. With an existing aging population along with many young families living in the neighbourhood, a group of local residents representing various streets in North Corso Italia, established a Traffic Management Committee to develop a complete street plan and implement a series of coordinated traffic calming and road safety measures to alleviate the concerns that are negatively impacting the neighbourhood.

Focused on prioritizing the safety of the most vulnerable road users, including pedestrians and cyclists, the Committee has come up with short and long-term goals such as enhanced pavement markings and signage, speed limit reductions, installation of planters, stop signs, changes in road direction, and traffic control signals in an effort to address their concerns. In order to address the traffic concerns of the North Corso Italia neighbourhood, it is important that these issues are reviewed and investigated at the local level and in an collaborative way as opposed to examining them in individually. As a result, I am requesting that the City's Transportation Services Division conduct a traffic study in the North Corso Italia neighbourhood as directed below.
