To: Chairman and Members of the Scarborough Community Council
From: Gary H. Welsh, P. Eng., Director, Road & Traffic Services, Works and Environment Department
Subject: Request for 40 Kilometre Per Hour Speed Limit on Claremore Avenue, Ward 13
Purpose:
To present the information relating to a 40 kilometre per hour speed limit on Claremore Avenue in conformance with the former Scarborough Council Speed Limit Procedure.
Funding Sources:
The $1000 (approximate) funds associated with the installation of the speed limit signs are available in the Road & Traffic Services 1998 Budget, Account No. 20000-70200-72240.
Recommendations:
It is proposed that:
(1) the 40 kilometre per hour speed limit identified in Appendix 1 of this report be adopted; and
(2) the appropriate by-law be amended accordingly.
Background:
At the request of former Scarborough Councillor Harvey Barron, on behalf of a resident of Claremore Avenue, Road and Traffic Services staff is presenting this report to enact a 40 kilometre per hour speed limit on Claremore Avenue without any staff recommendations.
Discussion:
Based on the former Scarborough Council adopted 40 Kilometres Per Hour Speed Limit Procedure, (Appendix 2) speed study results were not applied to the 40 Kilometre Per Hour Speed Limit Warrant. The adopted procedure allows a councillor to propose a speed limit of 40 kilometre per hour on any Scarborough road with a pavement width of 9.7 metres or less.
Conclusions:
Based on the Scarborough Council adopted 40 kilometre per hour Speed Limit Procedure, this report proposes the installation of a 40 kilometre per hour speed limit on Claremore Avenue.
