The Etobicoke York Community Council debated five EY27 items, encompassing two zoning bylaw amendments (EY27.1 for 116 Willesden Crescent and EY27.2 for 250 Wot Drive and 4620 Eglinton Avenue West), a fence exemption (EY27.3), and transportation/safety measures including Vision Zero speed-limit reductions (EY27.6), a traffic signals proposal (EY27.5), and a construction staging area extension (EY27.7). The Vision Zero speed-limit reduction and the construction staging extension were approved, the traffic signals item was deferred pending Councillor Peruzza’s arrival, and the fence exemption was reordered to the top of the agenda for quicker resolution; public input remained open for the zoning items.
