Origin
Summary
I am writing to respectfully request the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Heath Street West and Tweedsmuir Ave/Lower Village Gate. This is an oddly-aligned intersection, generating a lot of confusion for motorists as to who has the right of way. This situation also does not guarantee safe crossings for pedestrians, who have been reaching out to my office for safety measures to be put in place without delay. My office has worked closely with Traffic Operations staff in coming up with these recommendations.
