Summary
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
Transportation Services is reporting on the results of the traffic calming poll undertaken on Holley Avenue, between Parke Street and Rectory Road. Polling ballots were mailed to the affected residents on November 30, 2020 to determine the level of support in the community for the proposed installation of speed humps. Only 48% of the residents who received the ballots responded, as a result the minimum response rate of 50% plus 1 votes needed to proceed with the installation was not achieved. Therefore, staff do not recommend the installation of speed humps on Holley Avenue, between Parke Street and Rectory Road.
