Lambeth Villager June 2025

519-661-2489, extension 4009 ahopkins@london.ca An Update From Anna Hopkins Our Ward 9 City Councillor

Driving Safely in Our Community One thing I often hear from residents is concern about how people are driving in our neighbourhoods. Some say drivers are too slow and overly cautious and others worry about speeding and recklessness. The reality likely falls somewhere in between, but the shared message is clear: road safety remains a top priority. After over a decade on Council, I’ve seen how our sense of neighbourhood safety has shifted, especially since the pandemic. As summer approaches and we see more people out walking, biking, and playing, alongside active construction projects, it’s important that we all do our part to keep our streets safe. Here are a few helpful resources: • “Respect the Limit” lawn signs are available for free at City Hall. If you’d like one but can’t get there, contact me and I’ll gladly drop one off. • To report a traffic concern, contact the London Police Service (non-emergency line): 519-661-5670. • Residents can also request traffic calming measures—it only takes support from 10 households to initiate an evaluation. We’re also seeing a significant number of new planning applications in Ward 9. To help keep everyone informed, I’ll be hosting an information session, “Building in Our Community,” on Thursday, June 26, from 6 to 8 pm at the Bostwick Library. City staff will be available to answer questions and provide updates on current development policies and housing plans for our area. And with Father’s Day coming up on June 15, I want to thank all the dads and father figures who give their time and care, from early morning drop-offs to late-night dinners. Strong families build strong communities. Lastly, a heads-up for local drivers: Colonel Talbot Road is fully closed between Southdale Road and Clayton Walk—including the Pack Road intersection—until approximately June 13 (weather permitting). Detours are in place for vehicles and pedestrians, and local access is being maintained. All businesses in the area remain open and accessible. For updates, visit my website or sign up for the newsletter. Take care of one another,
