On the agenda

As the city filed it

My office received a request to install speed bumps on the north-south public lane east of Emerson Avenue, between Millicent Street and Armstrong Avenue in May 2020 by property owners that abut the laneway. The laneway is utilized by both vehicles and pedestrians alike. In the last number of years there has been an increase in speeding and cut-through traffic, which has resulted in the excessive use of car horns whilst vehicles navigate the laneway, especially at the T-junction, causing a diminished quality of life.
