This road safety audit noted safety problems with these intersections, along with potential suggestions to improve conditions and to make travelling these intersections as pedestrians, cyclists or in cars safer. This audit was delivered to Transportation Services for review, with the expectation that some recommendations on be formally adopted for road safety and intersection improvements. Traffic has continued to worsen at these intersections, in part due to ongoing construction in the area and in major road closures downtown that diverted traffic into the neighbourhood. It is appropriate that staff prioritize reviewing these intersections as quickly as possible to support and achieve the City's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan.
