I have heard from residents on Peterborough Avenue regarding speeding vehicles impacting safety on their street. There have been many near misses involving dangerous drivers travelling off Dufferin Street aiming to avoid traffic at nearby intersections. These concerns and recent incidents highlight an urgent need for traffic calming measures on Peterborough Avenue.

In a survey hand-delivered to Peterborough Avenue homes by my office, a strong majority of residents voted in favour of installing speed humps to reduce speeding and improve safety for all residents.
