A record day for road safety at Community Council

ByBrad Bradford

Today’s meeting of Toronto-East York Community Council may well have been a record-breaker for a single City ward. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of thousands of community members who’ve been reaching out to my office, community council passed *25* new road safety measures on local streets in Beaches-East York.

The process for requesting the City to install new road safety measures like speed humps, or having stop signs installed can be lengthy and complicated. What I hear most from community members is that road safety is their top priority, so I’ve made it mine. After this meeting, we’ve almost reached 100 new road safety measures passed in Beaches-East York in this term of Council.

None of this happens without the hard work – and direct input – of residents. You can see streets with either in-progress or a completed process to review new road safety options on my website here. If you don’t see your street on this list but you’e interested in having new road safety measures reviewed by the City, please reach out to me by email at [email protected].

A special thanks also to all of the City of Toronto staff who work hard to do all of the technical analysis to make these measures possible. Without their dedication – especially through the pandemic – none of this would be possible.
