Origin
Summary
Residents have contacted me concerned about the safety on Driftwood Ave near Venetian Cres. Recent Vision Zero markings have narrowed the available roadway at the intersection, additionally parked cars and a busy bus route on Driftwood Ave have created a situation that is both dangerous and frustrating for all road users. Recently, City of Toronto staff have moved to install “No Parking” signs through delegated authority, however to make the situation safer I am recommending installation of a “No Stopping” prohibition.
