Origin
Summary
Residents in the Perth-Sterling neighbourhood have contacted my office to advocate for safety improvements along Sterling Road.
As a result of ongoing construction in the area, large pick-up trucks routinely stand in a No Parking zone on the west side of the street. This creates a bottleneck on Sterling Road, preventing and restricting larger delivery trucks from accessing businesses and vehicles from travelling the two-way road.
Stopped vehicles on the west side also pose safety concerns as trucks have a difficult time manoeuvring in this congested area, and residents have communicated several instances where pedestrians have nearly been hit by trucks that are having trouble manoeuvering through the street.
As this is a significant issue for community and traffic safety, I respectfully request your support on the following recommendations.
