Our office manages hundreds of traffic calming requests from across Etobicoke-Lakeshore. Community requests for traffic calming (specifically, speed humps, speed cushions and speed bumps) are initiated by the local Councillor's office. We work hard to make this as transparent and collaborative a process as possible and ensure that residents have the opportunity to engage in the process. The steps to request traffic calming measures are outlined below in detail, including how we work with residents to gauge community support and then with Transportation Services for evaluation of the request.
Transportation Services staff may also proactively identify locations for Traffic Calming (speed humps and speed cushions only) through various programs or to be bundled with capital works. Staff will liaise with the local Councillor to gauge support, and supported locations will move through the remaining five steps for evaluation and approval.
