On the agenda
As the city filed it
My office has heard from local residents, including those on Joe Shuster Way abutting King and Dufferin, following a neighbourhood safety walk, who had concerns with speeding in their neighbourhood. A field investigation conducted by Traffic Operations found that there are no speed limit signs posted on King Street West between Dufferin Street and Strachan Avenue. Upon further review, it was determined that there's currently no speed limit by-law for this section of King Street West, therefore, it operates under the default unsigned speed limit of 50 km/h.

However, King Street West east of Strachan Avenue and west of Dufferin Street is by-lawed/posted with a 40 km/h speed limit. To ensure consistency with the majority of King Street West and to help reduce vehicle speeds along this segment, the speed limit should be reduced to 40 km.
Staff recommended
