Summary

Dear Chair and Members of Etobicoke York Community Council,

Residents have expressed concerns about unsafe road conditions on Manitoba Street, between Grand Avenue and Legion Road, caused by both speeding vehicles coming off the Gardiner Expressway and sightline obstructions caused by vehicles parking along both sides of Manitoba Street. The parked vehicles create challenges for motorists exiting the westerly driveway and cause unsafe pedestrian crossing conditions. To mitigate the sightline concerns, I am recommending expanding the “no stopping” regulations around the westerly driveway. To improve pedestrian safety and slow down traffic, I am recommending the installation of speed cushions on Manitoba Street, between Grand Avenue and Legion Road.
