On the agenda

As the city filed it

Speeding along Antrim Crescent, and adjacent streets, is creating a dangerous situation for residents in this neighbourhood. Combined with Glamorgan Avenue and Dundalk drive, these roads are regularly used as a 'cut through' or alternate route to Ellesmere Road by drivers to avoid delays and traffic on Kennedy Road. This driver behaviour does not consider the safety of residents, students and the school community at Glamorgan Junior Public School, visitors to Glamorgan Park and residents at 39 Dundalk Supportive Housing, who walk on the street throughout the day.

I am very concerned for the safety of residents, specifically children and seniors. In June, I hosted a community consultation in the area. Overwhelmingly, residents identified pedestrian and road safety as a high priority, sharing accounts of close calls from high speeds and reckless driving that threaten their daily safety. The installation of speed humps is one of the tools available that can be implemented both to deter speeding and use of these streets as an alternate route.
