Traffic Calming

The City is studying ways to slow traffic through Henderson Survey on Terrace Hill St. This area has already benefited from an obstacle course placed on the Queensway to slow traffic as well.While lots of other areas get speeding cars on their streets, many using them as short cuts, this will never do in the prestigious survey, which just happens to be home to the ward's two councilors.

If any street needs to have some kind of traffic calming done, it is Erie Ave. a far busier street than that short piece of Terrace Hill Street. Erie Ave. from the city limits to Cayuga St. (approximately 10 blocks) has but one traffic light and this is a manually operated one, so much of the time it is on constant green. Cars coming in from the south or those going out that way, have nothing to impede their progress and control their speed. Those backing out of their driveways or attempting to cross the road do so at their own risk. And there are also two public schools located on this stretch of road as well. Aw, but this is just in lowly Eagle Place, so I guess it doesn't deserve the attention like a north end desirable neighbourhood gets.

Oh, and a cheap and simple solution to solve the situation on Terrace Hill Street: install a stop sign somewhere along that stretch of street. Problem solved.
