Origin
Summary
In October 2020, residents reached out to my office with an urgent concern about speeding along their street and requested via an online survey that traffic calming measures (speed humps) be installed as a method of addressing these concerns. Residents that responded were in unanimous support of making this change.
I am requesting that speed humps be installed on Silverthorn Avenue from Rogers Road to Rowntree Avenue.
