Speed Hump Installation - Castle Frank Road between Drumsnab Road and Dale Avenue.
Residents on Castle Frank Road in my ward brought forward concerns regarding the speed at which cars travel on Castle Frank Road coming off of the ramp from the Don Valley Parkway as well as the concern regarding the volume of vehicles cutting through the South Rosedale residential area to avoid Bloor St E. A petition was submitted to my office in May 2020 requesting the installation of speed humps to slow down drivers and to mitigate the volume of vehicular entry into the area by drivers seeking a cut-through.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Waived the polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Castle Frank Road, between Drumsnab Road and Dale Avenue. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Castle Frank Road, between Drumsnab Road and Dale Avenue, to install one speed hump, generally as shown on the copy of 'Drawing No. 421G-4027' dated May 2022 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, attached to the letter (May 26, 2022) from Councillor Mike Layton, Ward 11, University - Rosedale.

Speed Hump Installation - Euclid Avenue between Barton Avenue and London Street
In 2020, residents submitted a petition to my office requesting speed humps along Euclid Avenue between Barton Avenue and London Street. Residents have observed an increase in local traffic and speeds. The installation of speed humps may assist in mitigating some of the cut-through traffic and make safer conditions for local vulnerable road users, including seniors and children who play, walk and cycle the street.

Speed Hump Installation - Pendrith Street between Ossington Avenue and Shaw Street
Residents on Pendrith Street brought forward a petition in 2020 signed by local residents, in support of the installation of speed humps between Ossington Avenue and Shaw Street. There are many vulnerable road users that reside along this street and in the vicinity, including young families and seniors that reside on the street, that are engaged daily in cycling and walking. Residents have observed an increase in traffic and speeds in their neighbourhood and feel that the installation of speed humps could assist in addressing traffic safety issues and potentially mitigate cut-through traffic from Ossington.

Speed Hump Installation - Summerhill Avenue between Yonge Street and Summerhill Gardens
Residents on Summerhill Ave in my ward have brought forward concerns regarding the speed at which cars travel on Summerhill Ave by way of a significant petition in August 2020. The request to install speed humps will slow down drivers ensuring a safer environment for children who live and go to school in the area, pedestrians and cyclists alike as well as mitigate vehicular entry into the area by drivers who are not aware that Summerhill Ave dead ends and is not a cut-through street.

Speed Hump Installation and Speed Reduction - Yorkville Avenue between Bay Street and Avenue Road
Toronto is seeing an unprecedented number of high performance vehicles and motorcycles speeding and drag racing throughout the city, often with modified mufflers that emit extremely disruptive levels of noise. Yorkville feels this pressure more than most areas. It has become a destination for people with loud vehicles making their presence known, while driving recklessly and dangerously. In order to ensure that Yorkville remains a safe and liveable environment for residents, we must take steps to reduce the speed and danger posed by these vehicles. The installation of speed humps is key to achieving this.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Waived the polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Yorkville Avenue, between Bay Street and Avenue Road. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter sections of the roadway on Yorkville Avenue between Bay Street and Avenue Road, to install five speed humps, generally as shown on the copy of 'Drawing No. 421G-4022 ' dated May 2022 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, attached to the letter (May 26, 2022) from Councillor Mike Layton, Ward 11, University - Rosedale. 3. Reduced the speed limit from 40 kilometres per hour to 30 kilometres per hour on Yorkville Avenue, between Bay Street and Avenue Road.

Traffic Control Signals - Downes Street at Freeland Street and Downes Street at Cooper Street
In conjunction with the Lower Yonge Precinct EA and the 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East subdivision plan (and 1 Yonge subdivision), two central intersections are to be created within the six proposed blocks of development. These intersections are located along the planned extension of Downes Street, at Freeland Street and Cooper Street. While the original Lower Yonge District EA did not define how these two intersections would be controlled, the plans for the new precinct will create new intensive pedestrian oriented uses: - 5 blocks of mixed-use buildings - a TDSB school to be located at the base of a residential tower - on the north side of the new Downes Street between Freeland Street and Cooper Street - a new public park - to be located on the south side of the new Downes Street, between Freeland Street and Cooper Street As such, the need to provide for a safe crossing option for users along this central corridor, including the school, (which will be using the park for outdoor space) is of critical importance. City staff have worked with the TDSB to design a safe north-south crossing at Downes Street and Freeland Street by way of a traffic control signal, curb extension, and other enhanced pedestrian safety features. At the intersection of Downes Street and Cooper Street, a similar condition is to be applied. There will be considerable pedestrian demand in all directions at this intersection. Given its proximity to the park (and the school), a safer crossing option is also recommended in the form of a traffic control signal. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) will operate a transit service on Downes Street between Freeland Street and Cooper Street, this matter requires City Council approval.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Downes Street and Freeland Street. 2. City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Downes Street and Cooper Street. 3. City Council authorize and direct that the design and installation of traffic control signals at Downes Street/Freeland Street and Downes Street/Cooper Street be co-ordinated with the development of the 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East subdivision to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Transportation Services.

Parking Amendments on Poplar Plains Road
I am writing to respectfully request a number of parking amendments on Poplar Plains Road to facilitate the establishment of a lay-by as part of The Mabin School Reconstruction project. The lay-by, which widens the existing road structure, would go a long way to improve traffic flow and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. My office set up a Construction Liaison Committee that provides a platform for residents to work together with my office, City staff, the School, and the project manager to address traffic and parking concerns related to the reconstruction project.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1.
