On the agenda
As the city filed it
Via Italia, located south of St. Clair Avenue West and north of Davenport Road, is in the middle of a busy neighbourhood connecting hundreds of residents to nearby schools, parks, small businesses, and transit. However, many residents have raised serious concerns about speeding vehicles that routinely ignore stop signs and endanger lives. Parents have reported numerous near misses involving their young children due to reckless driving and speeding.

In a survey conducted by my office, residents along Via Italia overwhelmingly supported the installation of speed humps as a proposed traffic calming measure. The addition of speed humps will improve traffic safety for residents living in the area and support existing traffic calming measures in this neighbourhood.
