The Digest

🚧 Watch out While Driving on Cannifton Rd N!

Flexible bollards have been installed on Cannifton Road North, spanning the area between Black Diamond Road and Blessington Road, as part of a traffic calming pilot project. These bollards are scheduled for removal on November 1 in preparation for the winter season. Data will be collected at various stages—prior to installation, during the pilot, and after removal—to assess the effectiveness of the initiative. The findings will inform a recommendation regarding potential reinstallation in 2025.
