LaGrange Street & Redgate Road Safety
Road Safety Audit Request · BHIA Advocacy
BHIA has requested a comprehensive Road Safety Audit of LaGrange Street, Redgate Road, St. Theresa Avenue, and the surrounding roadway network in response to longstanding concerns about collisions, speeding, cut-through traffic, and pedestrian safety.
