Summary

Residents have brought it to my attention that the lack of visibility of the cul-de-sac at the north end of Blue Ridge Road has contributed to an ongoing safety concern. This location, adjacent to the Blue Ridge Park, has been a hot spot for illegal parking and disruptive activity. Therefore, it is recommended that Transportation Services staff investigate the proposal to close the cul-de-sac to vehicular traffic and report back to North York Community Council on their findings.
