Origin
Summary
There are still too many traffic deaths and serious injuries on our city’s streets. By approving, at the last meeting of City Council, additional funding of $22 million to accelerate in 2018 road-safety initiatives, the City of Toronto took a critical step to address this very problematic situation.
City Councillors are in constant conversations with their ward’s residents and their area’s Transportation Services staff about road safety issues. As the City does its utmost to best allocate funds to improve road safety, especially for the most vulnerable road users, advice from Councillors will serve that process well.
