Feedback form: Travelling on Dundas Place 2024
The City of London is enhancing Dundas Place as a hub for shopping, dining, and events. In Spring 2024, the speed limit from Ridout to Wellington streets was lowered to 20 km/h to improve safety and support the area’s activities. Temporary signs were added to slow traffic.

City staff will be evaluating traffic management options for Dundas Place and are currently collecting feedback from businesses, residents, and visitors.
