(January 9, 2026) Letter from Councillor Paula Fletcher

Summary

Residents on Northbrook Road have reached out to my office regarding concerns about speeding on their residential street. Many vehicles are utilizing their street as a short cut and operating at higher speeds to access Don Mills Road to access the highway.

My office received a petition in support of an all-way stop at Northbrook Road and Plains Road. There was also majority support from a confidential ballot distributed from my office.

This safety upgrade, as well as the upcoming installation of speed humps will help residents navigate through their community with peace of mind.
