Origin
Summary
I have received numerous emails and calls from residents living in the community around Huntingwood Drive and Kittery Boulevard expressing their concerns about the safety of the students and community members crossing this intersection.
Huntingwood Drive is classified as a minor arterial road with a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. Kittery Boulevard is classified as a local road with a regulatory speed limit of 50 km/h. Sir William Osler High School is located at this intersection. This community is comprised of single detached residential homes and a CN Line is also located 160 metres west of the school and there are separated bike lanes. Students/pedestrians need to wait until a suitable safe gap occurs in the traffic flow to safely cross the street. Students/pedestrians would need to walk approximately 230 metres east of Kittery Blvd. to safety cross the street at traffic control signals at Huntingwood Drive and Midland Avenue, and approximately 350 metres west at Belgreen Avenue to safely cross at a Pedestrian Crossover. There are transit stops at Huntingwood Drive and Kittery Boulevard. Students would have to cross the street in order to take transit at this intersection. I am asking Scarborough Community Council members support my recommendation for the installation of a pedestrian crossover.
