On the agenda
As the city filed it
This staff report is about speed limit reductions for which Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended in a way that varies with City policy or by-laws. The Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy focuses on how higher speeds contribute to higher risk of serious injuries and fatalities, and that setting lower speed limits is a key tool for reducing operating speeds on Toronto's roadways.

The Vision Zero Speed Management Strategy includes a program for reducing speed limits on local roads, as defined in the City's Road Classification System, and public lanes or public alleys, to 30 kilometre per hour, on a neighbourhood basis. With this approach, the City is no longer required to sign every individual street within that designated area, but only the entry and exit points to / from the designated area where speed limits change and any internal roads with a different speed limit. The purpose of this report is to recommend area-based speed limit reductions to 30 kilometres per hour on public lanes or public alleys and local roads in Ward 15 in the North York Community Council area as part of the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan, Speed Management Strategy, as well as to place existing 30 kilometre per hour collector roads into the corresponding areas. This report also recommends reducing the speed limit on Sandfield Road, between York Mills Road and Sagewood Drive from 40 kilometre per hour to 30 kilometre per hour. Sandfield Road received speed hump traffic calming measures in 2003, before speed limit reductions to 30 kilometre per hour were implemented in conjunction with traffic calming. This speed limit reduction is in line with the Council approved 2023 Traffic Calming Policy. Lastly, this report recommends reducing the speed limit on a 90 meter section of Broadway Avenue, between Bayview Avenue and Bessborough Drive, from 40 kilometre per hour to 30 kilometre per hour. The speed limit along the section of Broadway Avenue immediately to the west, between Mount Pleasant Road and Bayview Avenue, and the section immediately to the east, between Bessborough Drive and Don Avon Drive, are currently by-lawed at 30 kilometre per hour. The proposed reduction in the speed limit will establish continuity along this section of roadway.
