RE: Speed Limit Reductions in the Lawrence Park Neighbourhood.

Dear Chair and Colleagues,

I attended the Lawrence Park Ratepayers Association (LPRA) board meeting on May 29, 2018. The LPRA board debated whether it was in the best interests of LP residents and everyone who uses LP roads to reduce the posted speed limit to 30km/hr on local, residential roads. They took into account:

 the results of a recent neighbourhood road safety survey,  recently completed petitions for nine (9) local streets plus three more petitions in-progress, and,  that three local roads and one other road segment already had a posted 30km/hr speed limit.

The LPRA Board concluded that there was sufficient need and support for the reduction of the posted speed limit to 30km/hr and subsequently adopted a motion to reflect that conclusion.

The LPRA’s Traffic and Safety committee has used the City’s approved 30 km/h Speed Limit Policy as the means by which to consider reducing the speed limit from 50 km/h and 40 km/h to 30 km/h on its local roads. Within the LP neighbourhood there are two public schools, one Church/daycare and four parks (including the ravine). Additionally, several LP roads are planned “Quiet Streets’ segments of the City’s Cycling Network 10-Year Plan. Situated on the streets that form the borders of the LP community are Sunnybrook Hospital, , (Glendon Campus) and the Lawrence subway station. There are no bus routes on the local roads in question. LP is approximately two kilometers north of where the Eglinton Crosstown Line is currently being constructed.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That North York Community Council:

1. Reduce the speed limit from 40km/h to 30km/h on:
