Ontario Premier Doug Ford took issue Thursday with a City of Toronto report that concluded it would take upwards of 13 years and cost $52 million to build speed bumps and other traffic calming measures in school zones.
The recent report came after Ford banned automated speed cameras provincewide in the fall, saying they did not work and were nothing but a cash grab. That was despite evidence from municipalities and researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children that concluded speed cameras do work to slow traffic.
Ford has long said he believes speed bumps, roundabouts and big, flashing signs would calm traffic.
