Summary
At the January meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council, Transportation Services reported back on my request for a traffic safety review along O'Connor Drive in item TE30.24. Part of this report included an ongoing review of the Donlands and O'Connor, and Pape and O'Connor intersections, for the placement of a school crossing guard. On this month's agenda, in item 34.28, Transportation Services advises that:
"An initial field assessment was undertaken which indicated that it would not be a suitable location for a school crossing guard. Traffic agents will be deployed to both intersections to continue the ongoing review of safety concerns and determine if any other mitigating measures are required"
This letter includes a request for an update on the findings of the traffic agents at both intersections.
