We’ve written over the past year that streets in the residential areas of Cabbagetown that are currently at 40 km/h, will have their speed limits reduced to 30 km/h.
According to the city’s Traffic Services department, the changes in Ward 28 (of which we are a part) will occur before the end of May 2016. All of Old Toronto/East York will be completed by the end of 2016.
Some of the streets in the neighbourhood that are currently signed at 40 km/h:
Geneva Ave., Bowman St., Metcalfe St., Dermott Place, Salisbury Ave., Nasmith Ave. and Gifford St.
Credit is due to Councillor McConnell who supported this generally well-received initiative.
