On the agenda

As the city filed it

Concerns have been brought to my office regarding a significant increase in traffic at the intersection of Elvaston Drive and Eccleston Drive. Vehicles that need to travel west on Eglinton Avenue are using Elvaston Drive/Swift Drive as a shortcut to Eglinton to avoid larger, busier intersections such as Sloane Avenue and Eglinton Avenue. Traffic is solid from 7:30 a.m. onwards, making it nearly impossible during peak times for Eccleston residents to enter the roadway from their driveways
