As the city filed it

I am writing to you today regarding the truncated portion of Gerrard Street, between Carlaw and Badgerow. This portion of Gerrard has houses, but does not connect to the rest of Gerrard, instead ending at Badgerow. Due to the fact that it connects to Carlaw but does not allow access to any other potion of Gerrard Street residents are concerned about the number of wrong turns by large trucks and other vehicles through their neighbourhood.

Transportation Services has tried different solutions to solve this problem including turn restrictions and signage. Residents are wondering about a more permanent solution. I would ask that you support this request for a report back on potential options.
