On the agenda

As the city filed it

This fall there was a two-car accident near Pape and Bain- ending with a pole being struck and knocked over. While residents were thankful that there were no injuries, many have been in touch with me to say that they are concerned about traffic safety. Back in September I wrote a letter to General Manager of Transportation Services Barbara Gray with a number of requests. Today I am asking the Toronto and East York Community Council to support making this stretch of Pape Avenue safer.
