Origin
Summary
Residents on Eversfield Road contacted my office to share concerns regarding traffic safety issues on their street. I have heard about their experiences with near misses involving speeding vehicles travelling off of Dufferin Street and using this local street to avoid traffic. These concerns highlight an immediate need for traffic calming measures on Eversfield Road.
In a survey hand-delivered to homes by my office, a strong majority of residents voted in favour of installing speed humps to help reduce speeding and improve safety in this busy neighbourhood.
