On the agenda

As the city filed it

Eastgate Crescent is a residential local road that runs between Pharmacy Avenue and St. Clair Avenue East. As such, it has become a popular short cut, especially during rush hours. I've heard from a majority of the residents that they have serious concerns for their safety, and that of their children, due to the speeds of those cutting through. I support the residents' request for traffic calming.
