On the agenda

As the city filed it

Several residents on Dale Avenue report frequent speeding on their street, endangering road users and impeding residents' ability to leave their driveways. This issue has been compounded by frequent stopping on the south side of the narrow street, forcing cars to drive on residents' front lawns. Transportation Services agree that speed humps and converting the parking prohibition to a standing prohibition are feasible solutions.
