Why is this story here?
ContainedA single intersection traffic intervention affecting one block pair. Genuine decision but bounded geographically and easily reversible if conditions change. Does not constrain future council options.Felt nowResidents on Dingwall and Carlaw Avenue feel this directly: speed humps change how traffic moves on their street, when vehicles arrive, and foot traffic safety in an ordinary week. The installation responds to documented community concern about construction-period danger. Narrow geographically but present effect for the affected residents.
