Summary

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Transportation Services is reporting on the results of the traffic calming poll undertaken on Government Road, between Thorndale Crescent/Mill Cove and The Kingsway. Polling ballots were mailed to the affected residents to determine the level of support in the community for the proposed installation of speed humps. Although, the results of the traffic calming poll indicate sufficient support for the installation of traffic calming measures, Transportation Services does not recommend the installation as the technical requirements to warrant the installation were not satisfied. Therefore, staff do not recommend the installation of speed humps on Government Road.
