Summary
Building streets that are safe for all road users – pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists – is the responsibility of all of us. In the last two years, 93 pedestrians and cyclists have been killed on our streets. This is a preventable tragedy.
There are a number of road safety enhancements that local communities in Ward 20 have been working closely with my office on for many years. These initiatives have strong support in local neighbourhoods, and are critical steps to improve safety on our downtown streets.
The following items require City Council approval. An additional item will include items that are delegated to Toronto and East York Community Council.
