Origin
Summary
The public laneway east of Old Weston Road and south of Davenport Road is too often used by speeding drivers avoiding the busy intersection of Old Weston Road and Davenport Road to travel south. This laneway is a route used by residents and their children to walk to school or head over to transit, and there have been many unfortunate experiences involving dangerous drivers. In numerous petitions, residents in the area confirmed their support for immediate traffic calming measures, including the installation of speed bumps in this laneway.
These proposed speed bumps will work alongside traffic calming measures on the connecting Westport Avenue to further improve traffic safety in the area.
