Why is this story here?
ContainedA genuine decision bounded to one street segment. Speed humps are reversible and affect a small area. The scope is confined and a future council could remove or modify them without significant cost or political capital.Felt nowResidents of Rushton Road between Maplewood and Humewood directly experience increased vehicle speeds now. A recognizable group (neighbours on that block) feels this in their ordinary week, and the measure addresses a present hazard they have organized around.
