Key Vote: Traffic Calming
Councillors voted against increasing funds for more traffic calming measures in Toronto. Savings in other areas of the transportation budget would have offset the funds. Traffic calming is crucial to keeping neighbourhoods safe. Speed bumps and other steps stop cars from racing recklessly through residential neighbourhoods. Neglecting this area puts all members of the community at increased risk, especially children, and in doing so is mistaken policy.
