Summary
The east-west laneway that runs between Gough Avenue and Carlaw Avenue is located just north of Danforth Avenue. It is directly adjacent to a local church and is situated in a residential neighbourhood. I recently held a site visit with local community members who expressed concerns over speeding in this laneway. This letter includes recommendations to install speed bumps in the laneway to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety.
