On the agenda

As the city filed it

In 2023, speed humps were installed on Laughton Avenue as a response to resident concerns regarding speeding. Since this installation, residents have contacted my office to request that speed humps be extended to Kingsley Avenue, just south of Laughton Avenue and Pelham Avenue, to resolve continued dangerous driving issues. Residents have shared that vehicles routinely speed as they exit the traffic calming zone along Laughton Avenue - resulting in numerous close calls with pedestrians and other drivers.
