Summary
The public laneway south of Corby Avenue and west of Caledonia Road is frequently used by parents and their children attending F.H. Miller Junior Public School. A school exit and the playground entrance both open on to this laneway, making this area heavily used by residents.
Residents and school staff have raised concerns over speeding vehicles using this laneway as a cut-through between Gilbert Avenue and Caledonia Avenue. Previous near misses involving speeding vehicles and students at the school highlight the urgent need for traffic safety improvements. The installation of speed bumps in this laneway will help to reduce speeding and improve safety for all residents.
