Origin
Summary
In February 2021, following public and community consultation, 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. Unanimously, the residents that responded were in support of making this
change.
I am requesting that speed humps be installed on Laughton Avenue from Davenport Road to
Kingsley Avenue.
