On the agenda

As the city filed it

I have heard from residents on Earlscourt Avenue who have shared concerns regarding speeding drivers travelling through their neighbourhood. This section of Earlscourt Avenue sits just south of Rogers Road and is an important route for residents. Outside this section, Earlscourt Avenue has an existing network of speed humps that has helped improve safety. The gap in this network encourages speeding and dangerous driving.

Many residents have shared their experiences involving near accidents and fear that an accident is likely without action. In a neighbourhood survey, residents on Earlscourt Avenue voted strongly in support of installing speed humps as a traffic-calming measure. This proposed measure will help reduce speeding, combat cut-through traffic, and improve safety.
