Request for traffic calming on this street

Would like to see this a traffic calming area. From Duffus to the bottom of Novalea near Kencrest ave. There are 3 senior buildings in this area. And many of the residents who use ride on scooter do not use the sidewalk. They ride on the street. And many times I have witnessed vehicles travelling down the hill fast. Also on Leeds street many children cross to attend elementary school. What I have observed is seniors trying to stay to the curb but they have to dart out as cars also park along there and they cannot see oncoming vehicles. I personally had to walk off sidewalk so two of my neighbors could safely go up and make the car coming towards us stop for them to cross. I voiced the safety issue with one and he stated he did get hit by a transport truck on lady Hammond. They did not see the driver and driver could not see him on his ride on scooter. The other senior building on Devonshire rd. As the weather gets nicer you see more seniors out on their sit down shooters which on the road which is concerning if cars are not slowing down in these areas. Worth looking into.
