As the city filed it
On the morning of Tuesday, September 10th, 2019, a pedestrian was tragically struck and killed by a cement truck making a right turn onto Erskine Avenue from Yonge Street. As you may know, Erskine Avenue is situated in the Yonge-Eglinton neighbourhood - an area that is developing at an unprecedented pace. At the time of writing, there are more than 50 construction projects underway in this neighbourhood. I have heard from many Erskine Avenue residents that their residential street has become a thoroughfare for trucks, construction vehicles, and drivers looking to avoid congestion at the Yonge-Eglinton intersection.
