Summary

I am writing to request your support in installing an additional speed hump on Hillsdale Avenue East, between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road.  Despite the existing speed humps, speeding is a major problem on a section of the street, especially between nos. 176 and 244 Hillsdale Avenue East due to an inadequate number of speed humps on that section.  Traffic Operations staff visited the location, and identified that it is feasible to install an additional hump in the vicinity of nos. 226 and 227 Hillsdale Avenue East to address the speeding and safety concerns.
