Met with residents and transportation engineering staff to implement traffic calming on Walker Road, Cranston Drive, Jean Street, Albert Spencer Drive, Henry Wilson Drive and Old Church Road, resulting in speed humps, stop signs, enhanced pavement markings and crosswalks in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Asked the Region of Peel to lower speed limits on Airport Road and Old Church Road to 40 km/h, which was completed in June 2025.
