As a concerned resident of Rockcliffe-Smythe, I have personally witnessed the dangers posed by speeding cars on Sandcliff Rd. A neighbour and her son were just meters away from being hit by a reckless driver who ignored stop signs and accelerated through our neighborhood. This is not an isolated incident; it's a recurring issue that endangers everyone in our community.

Sandcliff Rd is not just any road; it's a residential street with a children's park at its end. It should be a safe place for kids to play and residents to walk without fear of speeding vehicles. However, the lack of speed control measures has turned this peaceful street into an unofficial racetrack.

According to Transport Canada data from 2018, speed was a contributing factor in 27% of fatal vehicle collisions and 19% of those causing injury across the country (source: Transport Canada). We cannot wait until such tragedy strikes our community before taking action.

We are urging local authorities to implement speed bumps on Sandcliff Rd as an effective measure to slow down vehicles and ensure safer streets for all residents.
