Origin
Summary
Residents along Concord Avenue, between Hallam Street and Dupont Street, have contacted my office to share concerns about speeding vehicles travelling through their neighbourhood. A large section of Concord Avenue has received traffic calming measures in recent years, except for this area. This gap has created issues for residents, who have stressed the need for immediate action to improve traffic safety.
In a survey conducted by my office, residents overwhelmingly supported the installation of speed humps as a proposed traffic calming measure. This safety improvement will work alongside recently approved changes in the area, including the installation of all-way stop control at Concord Avenue and Hallam Street and a speed limit reduction along Hallam Street.
