As the city filed it

In 2019, I organized a focus group meeting with the Lambton/Kingsway School Principal, Traffic Operations, Parking Enforcement, and parents on the school's traffic safety committee at the time, to discuss traffic safety concerns in the area around the school. Following this meeting I received a petition for physical traffic calming, speed humps. Government Road is situated just south of Dundas Street West, a major arterial road, and intersects with Prince Edward Drive North, a collector road.
