Origin
Summary
I am kindly asking for your support of my motion to re-install a Traffic Control Personnel (TCP) at the intersection of Yonge Street and Heath Street West to assist safe pedestrian crossings. The Deer Park community continues to raise concern over the traffic flows at this intersection, especially given that caretakers and their children often use this intersection as a crossing to get to Deer Park Public School. Since the TCP’s initial installation, our office has heard positive feedback from both school administration and parents about how the TCP makes caregivers and their children feel safer while crossing this busy intersection.
