As the city filed it

I am writing to respectfully request the reduction of the speed limit on Avenue Road, between Chaplin Crescent and Eglinton Ave West from 50km/h to 40km/h. This proposed measure culminates from a series of engagements with the Oriole Park Association, the Oriole Park Junior Public School Council, residents, and traffic operations staff through regular traffic safety meetings. Serious safety concerns around speeding and other forms of reckless driver behavior that endanger students have been identified on this particular stretch of roadway.

A few months ago, following from similar engagements, I moved a motion to designate this section as a Community Safety Zone. While that designation has assisted with the situation, a reduction in the speed limit will go a long way to further address the concerns and encourage responsible driver behaviour.
