Origin
Summary
As the Fisherville community intensifies, traffic congestion and road safety have become a latent issue. Speeding, failure to comply with road regulations and lack of enforcement are some of the realities affecting the Fisherville Rd, Carpenter Rd, Bathurst St, crossroad. The McDonald's location within this intersection, experiences high levels of pedestrian and vehicular traffic well into late evening hours and accessing it has become a dangerous endeavour.
Our office has then reviewed many of the concerns raised by constituents regarding this crossroad and is committed to improve road safety in the area.
