Origin
Summary
The public laneway east of Brock Avenue extending between Lindsey Avenue and Muir Avenue frequently experiences a high volume of speeding vehicles attempting to avoid existing traffic calming measures along Brock Avenue. With Brock Public School and St. Helen Catholic School located nearby, the problem of speeding and dangerous driving is a significant safety concern for residents and young children who travel near the laneway.
In a recent survey, residents in the surrounding area overwhelmingly supported the installation of speed bumps in this laneway. As such, I respectfully request your support on the below recommendation.
