Origin
Summary
Several local residents and parents of children attending before and after care programming at Winchester Junior and Senior Public School have raised road safety concerns regarding Winchester Street between Ontario Street and Rose Avenue. They have contacted me to request that parking regulations be amended to accommodate for safe pick-up and drop-off.
Toronto is committed to achieving pedestrian and road safety through initiatives like Vision Zero. In order to achieve this vision of a safe, walkable city, Winchester Street and other local roads flagged by residents need to be reviewed and improved.
