On the agenda

As the city filed it

Residents on Burnfield Avenue in my ward have brought forward concerns about the speed with which cars travel on their local road. As the changes to Shaw Street aim to reduce cut-through traffic, it is possible that traffic could increase on Burnfield Avenue. Residents would like to mitigate the pre-existing traffic safety issues, as well as the potential for increased traffic due to the Shaw Street Improvements, by installing speed humps.
