The Toronto Community Council recommends that:
(1) the speed limit be reduced from fifty kilometres per hour to forty kilometres per hour on Lloyd Avenue, from Keele Street to Cawthra Avenue; and
(2) the appropriate City Officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to give effect to the foregoing, including the introduction in Council of any Bills that are required.
The Toronto Community Council submits the following report (January 29, 1998) from the Commissioner, City Works Services:
Purpose:
To reduce the speed limit on Lloyd Avenue from fifty kilometres per hour to forty kilometres per hour.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
(1) That the speed limit be reduced from fifty kilometres per hour to forty kilometres per hour on Lloyd Avenue, from Keele Street to Cawthra Avenue; and
(2) That the appropriate City Officials be requested to take whatever action is necessary to give effect to the foregoing, including the introduction in Council of any Bills that are required.
Comments:
At the request of Councillor Betty Disero on behalf of area residents, City Works Services staff have investigated lowering the speed limit on Lloyd Avenue, from Keele Street to Cawthra Avenue. Lloyd Avenue operates two-way on a pavement width of 9.75 metres and has a maximum speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour.
Keele - Mulock Parkette is located on the north side of Lloyd Avenue extending between Keele Street and Mulock Avenue. In order to provide a safeguard for children proceeding to and from the parkette, the speed limit should be lowered to forty kilometres per hour. This reduction is consistent with the policy adopted by the former Toronto City Council at its meeting of February 25 and 26, 1991 to designate streets in residential areas as forty kilometre per hour speed zones (Clause 28 of City Services Committee Report No. 3, contained in Executive Committee Report No. 5).
