Summary

The purpose of this report is to obtain approval to reduce the speed limit on Lawrence Avenue West, between Black Creek Drive and Keele Street.

 

A staff assessment has determined that the criteria for installing a 50 km/h speed limit on major arterial roads are achieved, in that the findings are consistent with the 50 km/h Speed Limit Warrant. Approving this report will result in a 50 km/h speed limit regulation along Lawrence Avenue West between Black Creek Drive and Keele Street and provide for a consistent 50 km/h speed limit between Royal York Road and Don Mills Road.
