Summary

I am writing to request speed humps on Nicholas Avenue, between Shuter Street and Wyatt Avenue as well as Sumach Street, between Shuter Street and Dundas Street East.

 

Pedestrian safety has been a critical focus of my office. While reviewing existing traffic calming in Regent Park, my staff, in discussion with community members and with lived experience, identified these two streets for potential traffic calming measures. Future traffic calming measures will be considered as Regent Park Phases 4 and 5 moves forward.
