Strathdee Drive - Traffic Calming (Speed Humps)

The staff report found that conditions on Strathdee Drive met the required warrants, including the 85th percentile operating speed of 17 km/h over the warranted speed of 30 km/h and the 95th percentile of 22 km/h over the warranted speed of 30 km/h. Increased volume was detected following the recent installation of speed humps on nearby Waterford Drive. The initiation of the petition and the final outcome of the investigation spanned the timing of City Council's November 2023 decision on 2023.IE7.4, which changed the Traffic Calming Policy, and significantly lowered the required warrants for operating speed. On October 14, 2025, I received a new petition from the residents of Strathdee Drive which calls for an immediate pause on the installation of the speed humps. A number of residents who signed the original petition have withdrawn their support for traffic calming. The results of the new household petition are: 21 of residents are in support of a pause, 4 opposed, and 3 are unknown or had no response. The timing of this petition is urgent, since the installation process has already commenced with signage, and the new speed humps are anticipated to be installed in the coming weeks. Considering the new petition from residents which indicates a withdrawal of support, I am making the following recommendations to the Etobicoke York Community Council.

3. Confirm the speed limit on Strathdee Drive between Wincott Drive and Waterford Drive as 40 kilometres per hour. 4. Direct the Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services to immediately stop the implementation of the speed humps on Strathdee Drive, between Wincott Drive and Waterford Drive.
