Elm Avenue Traffic Calming

The school retained a traffic consultant which made multiple recommendations, including for traffic calming measures on Elm Avenue and for a traffic light at the intersection of Elm Avenue and Sherbourne Street North. This report was followed by extensive consultations between school, parents, and neighbors, with the assistance of the South Rosedale residence Association. These consultations will continue through an informal neighbourhood liaison committee. At the request of the Ward Councillor, Traffic Operations did a detailed study and concluded that neighbourhood safety would be improved by installing traffic lights at the intersection of Elm and Sherbourne, which entails making Maple one-way eastbound. Most neighbours are strongly opposed to this to this recommendation. They have asked instead, that speed humps be installed on Elm Avenue, and that no-stopping restrictions be expanded. Once these are installed and the construction projects in the immediate vicinity are complete, the liaison committee will revisit their opposition to the recommended traffic light.

3. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to evaluate expanding no standing/no parking times on Elm Avenue, between Mount Pleasant Road and Sherbourne Street North, to 7:00-9:00 am and 3:00-5:00 pm., and to report back to TEYCC by November 2025.
