Re-Open EY25.40 Poll for Traffic Calming - Guestville Avenue
Residents reached out to my office with an urgent concern about speeding along their street and requested via a community-led petition that traffic calming measures (speed humps) be installed as a method of addressing these concerns. At the June 2021 meeting of Etobicoke York Community Council a motion was adopted to poll eligible households for traffic calming. The poll was positive as it met both the minimum response rate of 25% as well as over 60% in favour. By way of re-opening this item, I am requesting that Traffic Operations staff amend EY25.40, as per the recommendations, to include information that was omitted in the Community Council decision regarding the installation of speed humps on Guestville Avenue, between Lambton Avenue and Eglinton Avenue West.

Level Two Pedestrian Crossover Protection on Renforth Drive at Toledo Road
The intersection of Renforth Drive and Toledo Road has been the subject of past requests for consideration of pedestrian crossover protection. In August 2018, I identified this location among the top priorities for local Vision Zero initiatives in a letter to the General Manager of Transportation Services. More recently, I have received additional requests to examine this location by the Bloordale Junior Middle School community, and from the local Toronto District School Board Trustee. The intersection is adjacent Bloordale Junior Middle School; which is also a Community Recreation School, Bloordale Park and near The West Mall Pool and Tennis Courts. Due to the numerous community facilities and their location, there is a concentration of pedestrians including children and seniors who need to cross Renforth Drive at Toledo Road. Among the concerns with this intersection is that the nearest controlled crossing would require pedestrians to travel approximately either 485m north to the traffic control signals at Burnhamthorpe Road or 410m south to the pedestrian crossover at Bridgetown Drive. Despite lowering the speed limit to 40 km/h on Renforth Drive in 2019, examples of excessive speeding persist which contribute to the concerns. In the past, I requested Transportation Services to conduct an investigation into the feasibility of installing a pedestrian crossover at this intersection. The study results from 2018 indicated an adjusted pedestrian volume of 323. However the warrants for "Pedestrian Volume" and "Pedestrian Delays" were 77% and 100% fulfilled respectively. The installation of a PXO was deemed not justified nor recommended by staff as the pedestrian crossover warrant requirements were not satisfied Since that time, preliminary discussions with Traffic Operations staff suggest that this location could be a suitable candidate for a new Level 2 crossover. In more recent conversations I have learned that the work to develop new standards and specifications for new Level 2 crossovers are nearing conclusion which could make such an installation a viable and supportable option. I am writing to ask your support in directing Transportation Services to report back at the next Etobicoke York Community Council Meeting on the suitability of implementing a Level 2 crossover on Renforth Drive at Toledo Road to ensure that an appropriate solution may be provided as soon as possible.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Directed Transportation Services to report back to the next Etobicoke York Community Council meeting on the suitability of implementing a Level 2 pedestrian crossover on Renforth Drive at Toledo Road.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Holyday recommends: 1. That Etobicoke York Community Council direct Transportation Services to report back to the next Etobicoke York Community Council meeting on the suitability of implementing a Level 2 pedestrian crossover on Renforth Drive at Toledo Road.

Traffic Calming - Government Road
In 2019, I organized a focus group meeting with the Lambton/Kingsway School Principal, Traffic Operations, Parking Enforcement, and parents on the school's traffic safety committee at the time, to discuss traffic safety concerns in the area around the school. Following this meeting I received a petition for physical traffic calming, speed humps. Government Road is situated just south of Dundas Street West, a major arterial road, and intersects with Prince Edward Drive North, a collector road. Traffic calming is an important tool which forces vehicles to slow down and enhances the safety of vulnerable road users, especially around a school.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Requested the City Clerk to poll eligible householders on Government Road, between The Kingsway to Thorndale Crescent / Mill Cove, to determine whether residents support the installation of traffic calming (speed humps), in accordance with the City of Toronto Traffic Calming Policy, and report to Etobicoke York Community Council in the first quarter of 2023 on the findings of the poll.
