The Toronto Community Council also submits Clause 46 of Report No. 8 of the Toronto
Community Council, headed "Installation of Two Speed Humps - Heydon Park Road (Trinity-Niagara)", as adopted by the Council of the City of Toronto at its meeting held on June 9, 10
and 11, 1999:
(City Council on June 9, 10 and 11, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)
The Toronto Community Council recommends that two speed humps be installed on Heydon
Park Road, subject to a positive poll.
The Toronto Community Council submits the following communication (May 4, 1999) from
Councillor Silva:
I am writing on behalf of my constituent, Ms. Carolyn Rastas, who has expressed ongoing
concerns about speeding vehicles on Heydon Park Road in the letter attached. Ms. Rastas has
previously requested speed humps for this street and has been informed by the City= s Works
and Emergency Services Department that the technical merits for speed humps were not met
in a report dated October 16, 1998.
Ms. Rastas believes that the unique configuration of this street warrants the installation of
speed humps and wishes to have this matter brought forward to the next Community Council
for review.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration of this request.
CCCC
(A copy of the letter, referred to in the foregoing communication, was forwarded to all
Members of the Toronto Community Council with the agenda for its meeting on May 26, 1999,
and a copy thereof is on file in the office of the City Clerk).
_________
The Toronto Community Council also submits the report (December 21, 1999) from the
Director, Transportation Services, District 1:
Purpose:
To report the results of a poll of residents regarding the installation of speed humps on Heydon
Park Road, from Dovercourt Road to Rusholme Road.
Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of this report.
Recommendation:
That this report be received for information.
Background:
City Council, at its meeting of June 9, 10 and 11, 1999, adopted Clause No. 46 of Report No.
8 of the Toronto Community Council, and in doing so, approved the alterations of the
pavement on Heydon Park Road, from Dovercourt Road to Rusholme Road, subject to the
favourable results of polling of the affected residents, pursuant to the former City of Toronto
policy relating to speed hump installation.
Accordingly, Transportation Services undertook a poll on Heydon Park Road in October 1999,
to determine the degree of community support for the installation of speed humps on this
street.
Comments:
The Speed Hump Policy (adopted by the Council of the former City of Toronto at its meeting
of August 21, 1997) requires that a poll of adult residents (18 years of age or older) be
conducted on streets being considered for speed hump installations and that at least 60 percent
of the valid responses to the poll endorse the speed hump proposal.
The results of the poll undertaken on Heydon Park Road, from Dovercourt Road to Rusholme
Road, showed that 46 percent of the eligible voters responded to the poll and of these, 60 (79
percent) supported speed humps, 15 (20 percent) opposed the plan. One ballot was invalid.
As indicated above, the criteria for the installation of speed humps as set out in the Speed
Hump Policy has been satisfied on Heydon Park Road, from Dovercourt Road to Rusholme
Road.
