Councillor Saundercook
We the residents of Armadale Ave /Weatherell St / Nelles Ave would like you to address area traffic issues.
Armadale Ave / Weatherell St / Nelles Ave need improvement in traffic and parking management because of their unique geographical site being in close proximity to two major arterial roads (Jane Street and Bloor Street).
These major arterial roads are causing our streets to be used as an alternative cut through to the above-named streets. This as well as having TTC bus and subway service at Armadale, an adjacent Green-P (144 Stalls adds vehicular volume), a busy school zone and three construction projects at Jane and Bloor.
We have had increased police enforcement, which 170 violations have been written up, in the last while. We have had parking enforcement working diligently.
The document from the Manager of Traffic Operations, under Links on the right, outlines study findings and solutions.
We are particularly concerned about the Armadale / Weatherell intersection where the stop signs are frequently ignored and there is plenty of pedestrian traffic en route to the nearby school and TTC. Vehicles are blocking residents driveways or ignoring posted signage.
We the undersigned believe that Armadale Ave / Weatherell St / Nelles Ave are unique because of their proximity to Jane / Bloor and the TTC. We also feel that new developments will accentuate traffic and parking problems including new condo developments and St. Pius school expansion.
We would like Councillor Bill Saundercook to put in place measures that respond to our concerns regarding traffic and parking in our neighbourhood.
Watching the traffic flow past my front window reminds me why I started this because the school zone danger is only getting worse. I am currently compiling a report of the near misses I have witnessed and will be sending that directly to the city office soon.
November 6, 2009
Seeing this level of support confirms that my neighbors are just as tired of the dangerous conditions on our streets as I am. This momentum proves that we will no longer tolerate the constant threat to our families and children while our neighborhood is treated like a highway bypass.

I came online feeling so upset by the huge flows of traffic on Armadale. So much so that I am sad that I bought on the street and wish I could reverse it. It is RIDICULOUS!!! This should have been planned for and paid for when the new condo developments were approved. I also agree about seeing cars ignore the stop signs. It would seem the only solution south of bloor would be to make the side streets leading from Armadale onto the Kingsway as a 1 way West and Armadale to become a one way going South.

Every single day people fly down Weatherell like its a highway. Its only a matter of time before someone gets hit near the school zone and then its too late. Stop the cut through traffic now.
