Summary

I am writing to respectfully request the implementation of speed bumps on Larry Priestman Lane, between Shaw Street and Melita Avenue.  For more than two years, residents directly abutting the lane have been constantly reaching out to my office over speeding concerns.  Staff conducted a review and identified that while there is a defective speed bump that needs to be replaced, there is also the need for additional speed bumps to address the safety concerns.
