Origin
Summary
Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting on August 12, 2014, directed Transportation Services to report back to Council with any regulation changes, improvements to road design, or road design options that could be considered on Oriole Parkway as a measure to potentially reduce the speed of traffic and make viable the reduction of the speed limit to 40 km/h.
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on this section of Oriole Parkway, City Council approval of this report is required.
