- Staff · April 13, 2022North Ave / Hazelhurst Ave between Laburnum Ave and Ladies Mile revealed one reported crash in the last six full years of crash data of the “fatal” or “severe injury” types that are the focus on the City’s Vision Zero Program. The corridor has several 25mph signs in each direction and “intersection warning” signs approaching North Ave heading south towards Gladstone Ave. No sign changes are planned at this time. DPW will request speed samples to determine if a speed table is justified. These are outsources so it may take a couple of months.
- Staff · September 30, 2022DPW recommends speed tables on North Ave between Laburnum Ave and Pilots Lane. We will seek the Fire Marshall’s approval.
