Summary
Speeding vehicles travelling down the public laneway south of Davenport Road and east of Salem Avenue has been a constant issue for residents in the neighbourhood. With residents and their families in this laneway, there have been many unfortunate experiences involving dangerous drivers.
In a neighbourhood survey conducted by my office, residents in the area overwhelmingly confirmed their support for the installation of traffic calming measures that will reduce speeding and improve safety.
