Origin
Summary
Residents in the Junction-Wallace Emerson area have contacted my office to raise concerns over pedestrian safety at the intersection of Wallace Avenue and Campbell Avenue. This intersection is frequently used by residents and children heading to Perth Avenue Public School or Campbell Park. Residents have reported feeling unsafe as a result of parked vehicles and sightline issues within the offset intersection.
Transportation Services determined that the implementation of a no-parking prohibition at the southeast corner would improve sightlines and visibility to create a safer intersection for crossing pedestrians. As such, I request your support on the following recommendations.
