Parents and neighbours in the area surrounding Saint Paul VI Catholic Elementary School contacted my office to voice safety and traffic management concerns. In response to these concerns, my office met onsite with City of Toronto Traffic Operations staff, School Parent Council and the School Principal in order to discuss potential solutions. After reviewing this matter in detail, Traffic Operations staff reported back to my office and recommended the installation of a pick-up and drop-off zone along the east side of Laughton Avenue, across from the school, in order to help ensure safety for students and compliance by parents. The purpose of this motion is therefore to install a pick-up and drop-off zone along the east side of Laughton Avenue, across from the school.
