Origin
Summary
For several years, residents on Perth Avenue, just south of Davenport Road, have requested traffic calming measures to reduce speeding and other dangerous driving behaviour in the area. This part of Perth Avenue is frequently used by residents, parents, and children walking towards Charles-Sauriol Elementary School or Pelham Avenue Playground – highlighting the urgent need for immediate traffic safety improvements.
Residents in the area voted strongly in support of speed humps as a traffic calming measure in a survey conducted by my office. The proposed six speed humps, which extend from Davenport Road to Kingsley Avenue, will help to significantly improve neighbourhood safety.
