On the agenda

As the city filed it

I am writing to respectfully request your support to re-poll residents of Wychcrest Avenue, between Melita Crescent (west intersection) and Melita Crescent (east intersection), in order to install speed humps on their street. Residents of the street previously requested for the installation of speed humps a couple of years ago; however, the process was truncated due to an unfavourable poll. Recently, there have been renewed concerns on the street around speeding and other forms of reckless driver behavior that endanger kids.
