Origin
Summary
I am kindly asking for your support of my motion to traffic calming on Vesta Drive, between Eglinton Avenue West and Old Forest Hill Road.
Residents of Vesta Drive 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 high volume of traffic and excessive vehicle speeds create a hazardous environment for residents, especially students walking to and from Forest Hill Collegiate. With the passage of this motion, the community will receive the traffic calming measures they have been organizing for.
