Origin
Summary
Residents living along Day Avenue have contacted my office to share their concerns regarding speeding vehicles and dangerous driving. Drivers hoping to avoid Dufferin Street and Rogers Road speed down Day Avenue with little regard for residents in the neighbourhood. Residents, especially those with young children, feel unsafe walking down their street as they head to Earlscourt Park or their favourite restaurant.
Through a neighbourhood survey conducted by my office, residents overwhelmingly voted in support of installing speed humps to prevent dangerous speeding and improve overall neighbourhood safety.
