Item - 2022.EY33.34

The Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Designated the areas in Ward 2 as a designated area with an associated speed limit of 30 km/h, with the exception of specified excluded highways or bridges, and amend the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950, Traffic and Parking, generally as outlined in Attachment 1 to the report (June 9, 2022) from the Director, Project Design and Management.

This staff report is about speed limit reductions for which Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws.

The Vision Zero Speed Management Strategy includes a program for reducing speed limits on local roads, as defined in the City's Road Classification System and public lanes or public alleys, to 30 km/h on a neighbourhood basis.

At its meeting of May 27, 2022, Etobicoke York Community Council approved, as amended, recommendations for speed limit reductions to 30 km/h on public lanes and public alleys and local roads in the Etobicoke York Community Council area as part of the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy in Ward 1 and Ward 3. As part of Community Council's consideration of that report, a motion was passed, directing staff to extend the 30 km/h speed limit reductions to the Eatonville Neighbourhood of Ward 2.

The purpose of this report is to recommend area-based speed limit reductions to 30 km/h on public lanes or public alleys and local roads in the area noted above as part of the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy.
