Description
The traffic on my street has increased many times over as a result of Versailles Ave being turned into a "slow street". While the initiative sounds good, the unintended consequence is that traffic now goes to the smaller streets right next to Versailles, which are much narrower (basically one lane wide only). Moreland used to be a very lightly trafficked street where kids were safe to be outside, but now there are a lot more cars going in both directions, which is especially unsafe given how narrow the road is. Please allow traffic back on Versailles (a much wider street) so as to alleviate this problem.
