Origin
Summary
Several local residents and representatives of the Church Wellesley Neighbourhood Association have observed serious safety risks with vehicles speeding and threatening pedestrian safety on Alexander Street between Yonge Street and Mutual Street. They have contacted me to request that speed mitigation measures be assessed to enhance safety in their residential community.
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, Alexander Street and other local roads flagged by residents need to be reviewed and improved.
