Origin
Summary
Residents have contacted me concerned about the safety at the intersection of Islington Ave and Muir Ave/Millwick Dr. This is a heavily used intersection that allows people to connect to a residential neighbourhood, industrial businesses, and local retail. Heavy trucks using the intersection have on numerous occasions damaged surrounding infrastructure. Pedestrians and drivers feel unsafe traversing the intersection. To ensure the safety of the community, I am requesting that staff review the collision history, alignment and turning radiuses, and other relevant information and report back with findings and any proposed recommendations for enhanced road safety features.
