Summary

On behalf of area residents, I am writing to address ongoing traffic safety concerns on Pegasus Trail, which were raised during the community meeting held on February 27, 2024.

 

Residents have reported excessive speeding still occurring on Pegasus Trail, particularly in sections where no speed humps are installed. This high rate of speed poses a safety hazard to the community.

 

In response to these reports, I have contacted the Traffic Operations department to investigate the feasibility of installing additional speed humps on Pegasus Trail. Their recommendation regarding this matter is before you for consideration.

 

Thank you for carefully review on the matter. The recommendations align with the concerns raised by residents, and I urge you to support its implementation to ensure the safety of all residents on Pegasus Trail.
