On the agenda

As the city filed it

While known in the downtown core as a major travel route, Richmond Street West starts at Niagara Street as a residential road, primarily consisting of single family homes and row-houses. Residents have reached out to my office with concerns about road safety and speeding along the street, between Niagara Street and Tecumseth Street. My office polled local residents and the majority were in favour. In order to make the community safer for all, I recommend installing speed humps on this portion of the street.
