As the city filed it

There is no number of deaths or serious injuries on our streets that is acceptable. Each one is preventable. As a City, we must prioritize and accelerate measures to make our streets safe and accessible for all road users, especially vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists. Following many conversations and safety walk conducted with the local residents' association, BIA, my office, and City staff from PF&R and Transportation Services, I am writing to recommend the prohibition of left turns from westbound The Esplanade to Lower Jarvis Street in the afternoon peak period.
