5.TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES ON HOLLAND PARK AVENUE

- Ward 28, York-Eglinton.

Councillor Davis

(December 15, 1998)

On August 5th, I held a meeting with local residents of Holland Park Avenue. From discussions I had with these residents, there was a strong concern with motorists speeding and travelling the wrong way. Therefore, I would like to direct the appropriate staff to look into the feasibility of implementing the following traffic calming measures:

1)the installation of speed bumps on Holland Park Avenue in order to slow the traffic down.

2)stop signs at Robina Avenue and Cedric Avenue where they intersect with Holland Park Avenue.

3)road narrowing at intersections to stop cars from travelling the wrong way.

As well, I would like staff to study the feasibility of implementing alternate side parking on Holland Park Avenue during the months of April to September.

Also, I am requesting that Holland Park Avenue be changed from a two-way back to a one-way street.

I require staff investigate the feasibility of these requests and report back directly to all the property owners of Holland Park Avenue with their findings and copy me with their response.
