Origin
Summary
Greenwood Avenue between Danforth Avenue and O'Connor Drive is a primarily residential street that experiences high volumes of traffic, particularly cut-through traffic coming from the DVP. The intersection of Greenwood and Memorial Park is located on a bend in the road and is a popular crossing location for residents and families using Dieppe Park. I have heard from residents of the community about serious traffic safety concerns at this intersection that threaten pedestrian safety and they contacted me to request enhanced safety measures in their community. My office has polled the community street and 81 percent of residents support this installation. In order to improve resident and pedestrian safety, the installation of an all-way stop at this intersection is being requested.
