Origin
Summary
Residents across Ward 11 have brought forward concerns about the speed with which cars travel on their local roads and to mitigate the extensive use of residential roads within their communities as cut-through streets. Installing speed humps to slow down drivers will provide a safer environment for children who live and go to school in the area, pedestrians and cyclists alike.
