Origin
Summary
Ladysmith Avenue is a residential street located south of Danforth Avenue and east of Greenwood Avenue. It is directly adjacent to a new school and I have heard from residents concerned about the volume and speed of traffic that will use this street when the new school opens. I have polled the street and local residents support the installation of speed humps on Ladysmith Avenue.
