Summary

I am kindly asking for your support of my motion to traffic calming on Ardmore Road, between Spadina Road and Vesta Drive.

 

Residents of Ardmore Road submitted a petition to my office requesting the installation of speed humps to help reduce speeding, discourage cut-through traffic and improve the safety of their street. Neighbours have reported motorists are increasingly speeding down the street, which is particularly concerning in the morning hours, when children walking to Forest Hill Junior School and Robbins Hebrew Academy.

 

With the passage of this motion, the community will receive the traffic calming measures they have been organizing for.
