Last summer, I joined local residents for a neighbourhood walk in the Gladstone Avenue and Bloor Street West area to discuss traffic safety issues impacting the community. I heard directly from residents about the impact of visitors and food delivery drivers illegally parking on the east and west sides of Gladstone Avenue, north of Bloor Street West. This section of Gladstone Avenue is a two-way road, and parked vehicles limit visibility and access for pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers. Parked vehicles also increase the risk of collisions as drivers are forced to enter northbound and southbound traffic to maneuver out of the area.

As a solution, Transportation Services is recommending a no-stopping prohibition on Gladstone Avenue, between Bloor Street West and the first laneway further north. This proposed parking improvement will deter illegal parking, clear access for drivers, and improve safety for all road users.
