Origin
Summary
In response to concerns brought to my attention by members of the community, indicating that the current traffic signals are causing a lot of congestion and confusion. The proposed changes to this intersection is intended to ensure greater road user and safety and also allowing City Transportation staff to install the necessary regulatory signage to direct pedestrians to the north side of the intersection.
I am bringing forward this motion to Scarborough Community and am requesting your support.
