Traffic Calming Suggestions Ward 12
On November 23rd I held an Open House to seek residents views on where they would like to see additional traffic calming in the ward.
At the meeting people added stickies to several large maps with their suggestions.
Until mid-December you can also add your comments and suggestions (which will be added to the map) and will be part of the data I will use when I meet with City staff to determine where to spend the $75,000 traffic calming budget for Ward 12.
