Summary

Dunstan Crescent is a residential street located north of O'Connor Drive, near the Don Mills Rd entrance to the Don Valley Parkway. I have heard from residents that vehicles often cut-through using Dustan Crescent to skip the queue of vehicles along O'Connor Drive and access the Don Valley Parkway more quickly.  Concerned about speeding on their street, residents requested that speed humps be installed. I have polled the street and local residents support the installation of speed humps on Dustan Crescent.
