Why is this story here?
ContainedA decision to install speed humps on one street, bounded in scope and geography. Reversible without significant cost if future conditions warrant. Affects one residential block, not a policy affecting a whole class of people or locking in a multi-year commitment.Touches a narrow groupPedestrian safety on Aldridge Avenue is real, but affects residents of that specific street directly and the broader neighbourhood indirectly. The effect is geographically narrow; most Toronto residents will not notice this change to their week.
