Why is this story here?
ContainedA traffic calming investigation on one street is a bounded decision affecting one specific area. If humps and cushions are installed, they improve that intersection but a future council could remove them without major cost or political capital. The scope is narrow and geographically limited.Touches a narrow groupTraffic calming on Dean Park Road affects residents and drivers on that specific street directly, but it is a single location and does not change the broader commute patterns or daily experience of most Toronto residents. The effect is real but localized to one neighbourhood.
