Origin
Summary
Over the years countless residents have contacted me concerned about the safety of Strathburn Boulevard. This street is home to a well-used park and a school where cars line the street each morning and afternoon. Strathburn Boulevard is also the main connecting road through the neighbourhood, and used as a short-cut to avoid traffic on Weston Road.
Speeding, numerous pedestrians and a lack of controlled intersections have led to a precarious situation along the street. Though we have made some changes to the street including updating parking rules, adding an all-way stop and Vizion Zero improvements, the issues persist. I am recommending the committee authorize two All-Way stops along Strathburn Boulevard, where there are already existing Two-Way stops.
