SC27.26adopted
Birchcliff Avenue and Freeman Street - All-Way Compulsory Stop Control
This proposed motion is intended to address safety concerns for all road users, particularly children, seniors, pedestrians, and cyclists using Birchcliff Avenue and Freeman Street. This intersection is a key travel route for students and families walking to and from Birch Cliff Public School, and residents have raised concerns about driver behaviour and the potential for serious collisions. All-way compulsory stop controls are a proven traffic calming tool that help reduce vehicle speeds, clarify right-of-way, and create safer crossing opportunities for pedestrians at residential intersections. Although not technically warranted at this location, implementing an all-way stop at Birchcliff Avenue and Freeman Street will improve safety, support active school travel, and enhance the quality of life for residents. Our office is thankful for the tremendous advocacy of the local Birchcliff Watch Unit and Birchcliff JPS Parent Council in helping to share local context.
The Scarborough Community Council: 1. Authorized all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Birchcliff Avenue and Freeman Street.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Parthi Kandavel recommends that: 1. Scarborough Community Council authorize all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Birchcliff Avenue and Freeman Street.
SC27.27adopted
East Haven Drive - Speed Limit Reduction
This proposed motion is intended to address safety concerns for all road users, particularly children, families, and seniors who live, walk, and travel along East Haven Drive. East Haven Drive is a key access route for students attending Cliffside Public School, and residents have reported concerns about vehicle speeds and cut-through traffic on this corridor. The surrounding neighborhood is home to many school-aged children and vulnerable road users who rely on safe, comfortable conditions for walking, cycling, and accessing transit. Reducing the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h is consistent with the City's Vision Zero road safety objectives and will help calm traffic, reduce the risk and severity of collisions, and create a safer environment for students and community members travelling to and from Cliffside Public School. While Transportation staff doesn't not typically recommend speed limit reductions without traffic calming measures in place. I am advancing this motion as a balanced approach to addressing safety concerns and the needs of the broader community. Going forward our office will continue to work with Transportation Services to consider additional measures, as warranted.
The Scarborough Community Council: 1. Reduced the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on East Haven Drive, between Ridgemoor Avenue and Cliffside Drive.
Staff recommendation as filed
