As the city filed it

I am writing to request your support in directing Traffic Operations Staff to install a speed hump on Rushton Road, right before the intersection with Valewood Avenue. In June of 2022, two children were hit by vehicles at this intersection. Residents and concerned parents reached out to my office highlighting long-standing safety concerns at this intersection.
