Origin
Summary
I am writing to request your support in directing Traffic Operations to install traffic calming measures along Maxwell Avenue between Eglinton Avenue West and Anderson Avenue.
The Maxwell Avenue community has shared sustained concern since 2019 over the speeds at which vehicles drive through this residential street. In 2022, the community organized and submitted a petition with a large portion of households on the street asking that traffic calming measures be implemented. With the passage of this motion, the community will receive the installation of traffic calming measures they have been organizing for.
