Summary

Residents have reached out to my office with concerns about road safety and speeding along Oak Park Avenue. They have reported drivers speeding as they travel north from the Danforth, using Oak Park as a cut through to avoid busier streets. My office polled the homes near the intersection of Oak Park and Westbrook Avenue, and over 80% of residents supported changing the existing 2-way stop into an all-way stop as a method of traffic calming for the neighbourhood. To keep making our community safer for all, I recommend installing an all-way stop at this intersection.
