On the agenda

As the city filed it

For residents on Lowther Avenue and the surrounding neighbourhood, speeding is a persistent concern, particularly given the use of the street by non-local drivers seeking to avoid Bloor Street. My office received numerous requests, including from the Annex Residents' Association, for traffic calming. Speed humps, which Transportation Services staff agree would be feasible, would significantly improve safety for road users.

It is recommended that: 1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Lowther Avenue, between Brunswick Avenue and Avenue Road. 2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway on Lowther Avenue, between Brunswick Avenue and Avenue Road, to install 14 speed humps, generally as shown on the attached Drawing Nos. TC-375, TC-376, TC-377 dated October 2024 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.
