DELEGATIONS
Eleonore Rupprecht on behalf of Kennedy Street West Residents
re: Traffic Concerns on Kennedy Street West
Page 2
Ms. Eleonore Rupprecht on behalf of certain Kennedy Street West residents provided a
visual presentation regarding traffic concerns on Kennedy Street West. Included in the
presentation were figures pertaining to the average volume of traffic and traffic speed on
the street. She advised Council that she was informed that a Police Officer had issued
an entire book of tickets within four hours of monitoring Kennedy Street West on the first
day of the Paid Duty Radar Project. She suggested some alternative solutions to alleviate
traffic concerns including a road block to prevent a through-way, road narrowing with
planters, speed humps, recalibration of arterial street lights, daily radar, and stop signs.
She concluded by requesting that Council consider implementing daily radar enforcement,
reallocation of existing stop signs at George Street and Highland Court, prohibition of
turns during peak hours from Yonge Street, recalibration of Yonge Street traffic lights,
introduction of speed bumps to new standards, and redesignation of Kennedy Street West
as a local road.

the owner of the company. Mr. Camm stated that he had applied to the Town of Aurora
for his own taxi owners plate and was interested in the possibility of working for a
Todays/A 1 Taxi Brokerage in Aurora. He stated that there were many risks involved in
