The Toronto and East York Community Council directed:

1. Transportation Services staff to conduct an intersection traffic safety study at Broadview Avenue and Mortimer Avenue and to report back with recommendations to the January 2023 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council.

Broadview Avenue and Mortimer Avenue are two arterial roads with primarily residential buildings on both sides. On the west side of this intersection, Broadview Avenue connects with Pottery Rd which connects to Bayview. This is a very busy intersection and I have heard from many residents that this intersection is very unsafe for pedestrians.

In the area immediately surrounding the intersection of Broadview and Mortimer, there are also two large developments planned. With the impending construction of two developments near this intersection, the local community has raised further concerns about traffic and pedestrian safety. I am writing to request that this intersection be reviewed to assess whether all measures are in place to ensure the safety of all road users.
