On the agenda
As the city filed it
Residents on Bloem Avenue have shared concerns regarding the number of vehicles regularly using their street as a cut-through to avoid travelling along Dufferin Street. This volume has resulted in dangerous speeding, backed up vehicle traffic on the street, and near accidents on this small residential road. A previous study identified significant daily vehicle travel on Bloem Avenue, which continues to impact safety for all road users.

Through a neighbourhood survey conducted by my office, residents confirmed their support for a southbound right-turn prohibition from Dufferin Street to Bloem Avenue during weekday afternoon peak periods. This turn restriction, alongside planned traffic calming measures, will help to reduce vehicle volume and dangerous speeding on Bloem Avenue.
