Today our cause took a significant step forward. Councillor Lisa Dominato brought forward this motion, and it was passed unanimously by Council:

That Council direct staff to review and report back on traffic patterns, sight lines, speed, and collision history along Commercial Drive between E. 12th and E. 22nd (including the Victoria diversion) in response to neighbourhood concerns regarding excessive speed northbound and need for additional pedestrian crossings.

Further that in reviewing this area, Council direct staff to consult with the community and report back on the feasibility of a reduced speed posting (30km/hr) and improved signage near Stratford Hall school, CEFA early learning centre and Clark Park.
