On the agenda

As the city filed it

Since Don Mount Court was redeveloped into Rivertowne, local residents have been working with their local Councillor and staff in Transportation Services, City Planning, Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC), as well as Toronto Police Services and the Ralph Thornton Centre to address traffic safety issues. While a number of actions have been implemented to date, and traffic speeds are reduced, traffic infiltration (shortcutting) through the community is still occurring.
