Origin
Summary
I am writing to request your support in directing Traffic Operations to install traffic calming measures on Hector Avenue, between Melita Avenue and Davenport Road. My office has received concerns over the speed that vehicles travel at when using this residential street as a cut-through, either to or from Davenport Road. The Hector Avenue community submitted an overwhelming petition in support of installing speed humps. This measure will help manage the speed that vehicles travel at on this residential street.
