Origin
Summary
I am kindly asking for your support of my motion to traffic calming along Hillsdale Avenue West, between Lascelles Boulevard and Oriole Parkway.
Residents of Hillsdale Avenue West 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 that traffic volumes along Hillsdale Avenue West have increased significantly in recent years. This is especially concerning given the increasing number of young families in the community.
With the passage of this motion, the community will receive the traffic calming measures they have been organizing for.
