As filed

City Council on February 5, 2025, adopted the following: 1. City Council amend the existing Community Safety Zone in effect at all times on both sides of Orton Park Road, between Merkley Square and Merkley Square, to be in effect between Merkley Square and Ladysbridge Drive (north intersection).

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Traffic Operations reviewed Orton Park Road for possible safety improvements as residents had been reporting concerns, especially due to the speed travelled on Orton Park Road. Traffic Operations recommended the installation of a Community Safety Zone at this location, which would enable the installation of Automated Speed Enforcement. Upon review by Vision Zero and Traffic Operations, there was an error in the 2018 blanket designation.

Currently, the designation applies to Orton Park Road between Merkley Square and Merkley Square, which doesn't align with the intended designation. George B. Little Public School is located on Orton Park Road, between Merkley Square and Ladysbridge Drive (north intersection). Speeding along Orton Park Road compromises the safety of all road users, especially young children and families. Designating the area in front of this public school will enhance the safety for all pedestrians, allowing for the installation of Automated Speed Enforcement. The recommendation necessary to make this change is before you.

Staff recommended

Councillor Paul Ainslie recommends that: 1. City Council amend the existing Community Safety Zone in effect at all times on both sides of Orton Park Road, between Merkley Square and Merkley Square, to be in effect between Merkley Square and Ladysbridge Drive (north intersection).
