Transportation Services staff have reviewed the need for traffic calming, specifically the installation of speed humps on Dingwall Avenue, between Pape Avenue and the east end of Dingwall Avenue, in response to a direct request from Councillor Fletcher. Our assessment indicates the criteria as set out in the Traffic Calming Policy has not been satisfied. Therefore, traffic calming should not be installed on the subject section of Dingwall Avenue.
