Subject: Posting of Additional Speed Limit Signs On Oxton Avenue

Pierre,

Transportations Services inability to set a date is unfortunate (I had asked for a report delivery date - Mark), but hopefully not a sign of a lack of interest in this issue (which may have been a boit unfair - Mark). I would be appreciative if Mr. Walker could keep tabs on the reports progress to ensure a timely completion.

In the interim do you agree that a report should not needed to get addition speed limits posted on Oxton. I find it strange that between Chaplan and Oxton on Oriole Parkway there are two 40km speed limit signs posted (northbound) over this very short distance; yet only one small speed sign on Oxton three times maybe the distance between Chaplan and Oxton, and at the mid point. Small in size too! What can Mr. Walker do to advance this request over the next month?

The petition represents the views of property owners and renters and I think you will be surprised by the number of property owners (and voters) that signed the petition. Therefore, I am naturally eager to have the opportunity to present the views of these constituents to Mr. Walker, his team and Transportation Services at the earliest possible date.

Please let me know how we can in the interim at least get additional, prominent speed limit signs posted on as a first step towards making Oxton safer for local pedestrians.

Thank you, Mark
