We bought our house on Milgate Place in November of 1985.
\nHenderson Drive was a quiet street.
\nWhen Council approved speed bumps on Kennedy Street, our street became super busy.
\n18-wheelers have adopted our street as a thoroughfare to avoid the YRP traps on Yonge Street, and Bathurst Street.
\nAt the back of my house, the speed is posted as 50 km per hour.
\nTrucks drive at over 100 km per hour all through the night, and during the day, they drive at 80 to 90 km per hour.
\nOur house shakes as truckers zoom by the back of our house.
\nI invited all current Councillors to sit for a bit in the driveway of Theatre Aurora and witness first-hand the speeding that is now occurring on Henderson Drive.
\nFully loaded 18-wheelers will make quite a mess if they lose control and enter one of our backyards.
\nI would like to encourage York Regional Police to post a speed control sign that records the ridiculous speeds trucks drive along Henderson Drive.
\nOn Yonge Street, undercover YRP are continuously monitoring the speeds of vehicles and ticketing people who go above the speed limits.
\nWe see heavily loaded gravel trucks, car transport trucks, and 18-wheelers on a daily basis.
\nSoon there will be a horrific accident, and this note is to inform the Council of the Town of Aurora that something bad will be happening very soon.
\nWhere are they on Henderson Drive?
\nI am requesting York Regional Police and the By-Law department to start monitoring the speed of trucks and cars on Henderson Drive.<\/p>\n
