Can you confirm for me that no on street parking was lost?

I live about 50 metres from Isleville. No parking was lost. Speed humps were added and curbs were bumped out, along with more visible signage and pavement markings. There's also a mode filter at Young, so cars going northbound on Isleville have to detour, as do cars going eastbound on Young. It looks
like this. It can be mildly annoying as a driver, but as a neighbourhood resident, with two small kids, I'm very pro-reducing car traffic.

You pretty much have to make physical alterations to induce behaviour difference. People don't drive according to signage so much as they drive for the conditions. If the street is narrower, and there are speed humps, and so forth, people will naturally go slower. (Mostly--there are people who still bomb up and down the street at 50 km/hr.)
The street is a pretty significant bike route and is the main neighbourhood drag connecting the Hydrostone area to Young Street and points south. It's pretty decently pedestrian-trafficked these days too. The changes
