On the agenda

As the city filed it

Residents have reached out to my office with concerns about speeding along their street and requested that traffic calming measures (speed humps) be installed on the street as a method of addressing these concerns. My office polled the homes on the street and found over 95 percent of the residents were in support of making this change. I am requesting that speed humps be installed on Balfour Avenue.
