Residents on Sellers Avenue have contacted my office to share concerns regarding speeding vehicles travelling through the neighbourhood. Sellers Avenue is located south of Rogers Road and near Dufferin Street and often attracts drivers seeking to bypass traffic on arterial roads. The community has reported serious incidents, including accidents that injured pets, persistent speeding at all hours, and near misses involving children playing outside. Many fear that without action, a serious accident is inevitable.

In a survey hand-delivered to homes by my office, residents on Sellers Avenue voted in strong support for the installation of speed humps as a traffic calming measure. This proposed measure will help reduce speeding, combat cut-through traffic, and improve safety for all residents.
