On the agenda

As the city filed it

I am writing to request speed humps on four streets within the Regent Park neighbourhood: Cornwall Street, between River Street and Picking Coke Lane; Sackville Street, between Dundas Street East and Oak Street; Sumach Street, between Dundas Street East and Oak Street; and Wyatt Avenue, between Sumach Street and River Street. Pedestrian safety has been a critical focus of my office. While reviewing existing traffic calming in Regent Park, my staff, in discussion with community members and with lived experience, identified these four streets that had the potential for traffic calming measures.
