Origin
Summary
Residents have reached out to my office with concerns about speeding along their street and requested that traffic calming measures (speed humps) be installed on the street as a method of addressing these concerns. My office polled the homes on the street and found the majority of residents were in support of making this change.
I am requesting that speed humps be installed on Rainsford Road from Kingston Road to Queen Street East.
