b. City Council designate a 30 km/h speed limit on Morrish Road, between the south end of Morrish  Road and the north end of Morrish Road.

4. Subject to approval of Recommendation 1 above and in conjunction with the installation of the traffic calming (two speed cushions) on Morrish Road, between Ellesmere Road and Canmore Boulevard:

This letter is a follow-up to the request of community members to implement traffic calming measures on Morrish Road. Staff have completed the necessary drawings for the installation of speed humps. Community members and the Highland Creek Community Association have asked our office for this, and our office surveyed the residents who live on the road who are fully supportive. The recommendations to install speed humps and cushions is another step towards the introduction of additional traffic calming measures in an area that has a need for increased traffic safety.
