Origin

(April 30, 2025) Letter from Councillor Josh Matlow

Summary

I am writing to request for your support of my motion to designate the Bathurst Street corridor, between Austin Terrace and Vaughan Road, as a Community Safety Zone. In 2021, my office supported the expansion of a School Safety Zone for the Hillcrest Community School, and while the current Safety Zone has authorized installations including a northbound red-light camera located south of the Bathurst and Nina intersection, the limits of the School Safety Zone do not permit any automated enforcement for southbound traffic approaching the Bathurst and Nina intersection. With the approval of this motion, this Safety Zone will be designated farther north to Vaughan Road, which will permit the installation of a southbound automated speed enforcement device.
