  • Speed Limit Amendments – Renforth Drive Between Bloor Street West and Rathburn Road
    REPORT FOR ACTION Speed Limit Amendments – Renforth Drive between Bloor Street West and Rathburn Road Date: December 14, 2018 To: Etobicoke York Community Council From: Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services Wards: Ward 2 – Etobicoke Centre SUMMARY This staff report is about a matter for which the Etobicoke York Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. This report recommends that a 40 km/h speed limit be implemented on Renforth Drive, between Bloor Street West and Burnhamthorpe Road, as the 40 km/h speed limit warrant is met. Although not technically warranted, staff also recommends that a 40 km/h speed limit be implemented on Renforth Drive, between Burnhamthorpe Road and Rathburn Road, for speed limit uniformity. Currently, the speed limit on Renforth Drive, between Eglinton Avenue West and Bloor Street West varies between 40 km/h and 50 km/h. This proposal will provide consistency in terms of the speed limit on Renforth Drive between Bloor Street West and Eglinton Avenue West. RECOMMENDATIONS The Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, recommends that: 1. Etobicoke York Community Council reduce the speed limit from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on Renforth Drive, between Bloor Street West and Burnhamthorpe Road. 2. Etobicoke York Community Council reduce the speed limit from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on Renforth Drive, between Burnhamthorpe Road and Rathurn Road. FINANCIAL IMPACT The estimated cost for the installation of the speed limit signs is $1,000.00. These funds are included within the Transportation Services Division's 2019 interim Operating Budget.
