Traffic Calming Chicane Installation

"The main point of contention was that the data did not support the need for traffic calming, creating a 'precedent' for political intervention over evidence-based solutions. Proponents argued the chicane is a cheap, temporary solution to address ongoing resident concerns regarding pedestrian safety, shortcutting, and speeding near the elementary school, and serves as a useful pilot project for other neighborhoods. Councillors Kowalewich and MacKenzie opposed based on lack of data supporting the need over other streets."
