Traffic Calming Measures in Ward 2
As more families are enjoying the warmer weather outdoors with children and loved ones, it’s important for drivers and pedestrians to be aware of road safety. I have heard from several residents about certain “hot spots” known for speeding, and I am happy to share the below traffic calming measures to be implemented in Ward 2.

Reporting Broken Sidewalks to 311
Crews from Roads have been out in communities to complete minor repairs on sidewalks, such as: grout, caulking, and grinding where defects have been identified. Foremen are also currently conducting their yearly inspections of concrete surveys and will schedule replacement in future seasons as required.
Please submit requests to 311 if you know of any sidewalks in need of repair. By reporting these on the 311 app, a geolocation marker will be provided to crews, which will help them easily locate and fix the issue.
