Aurora seeks public comment as it considers a speed cushion pilot project.

The town is considering installing speed cushions, a form of speed hump that allows larger vehicles like emergency vehicles to go over them without slowing down, on a number of residential streets.

The streets being considered include Stone Road from Clift Road to Hawtin Lane, Conover Avenue from River Ridge Boulevard and Borealis Avenue, Kennedy Street West from Murray Drive to McGee Crescent, Mavrinac Boulevard from Borealis Avenue to Spring Farm Road and McMaster Avenue from Hollidge Boulevard to Hollandview Trail.

To proceed with the pilot, the town needs 70 per cent support from area residents.

The town is conducting a survey asking affected residents in these areas to vote on the installation of the speed cushions.
