I have heard directly from residents about significant safety issues on Lansdowne Avenue, just north of Davenport Road, and across the Earlscourt Park Youth Centre. This area experiences a significant daily traffic and serves as a key connection for residents travelling to and from downtown. This route is also popular with residents who are cycling or walking to Earlscourt Park, the Joseph J. Piccininni Community Centre, or small businesses on St. Clair Avenue West.

My office joined concerned residents and City of Toronto staff for a site walk to review conditions and discuss solutions. This section of Lansdowne Avenue is curved, and vehicles travelling in both directions often cross into opposing lanes. The issues impacting this community were clear during our neighbourhood walk, with vehicles speeding dangerously as they approach the curve and parked vehicles obstructing clear sightlines for travelling vehicles.

Transportation Services recommends urgent amendments to the parking regulations in this area to address these immediate safety risks. The proposed changes will impose no stopping restrictions to improve visibility, protect all road users, and prevent collisions.
