Summary

The Board of MTCC 573 at 135 George Street South have observed serious safety risks with vehicles speeding and threatening pedestrian safety in Taylor’s Wharf Lane, between George Street South and Frederick Street. They have contacted me to request that speed mitigation measures be assessed to enhance safety in their community.

 

Toronto is committed to achieving pedestrian and road safety through initiatives like Vision Zero. In order to achieve this vision of a safe, walkable city, Taylor’s Wharf Lane should be reviewed and improved.
