As the city filed it
Residents in Moore Park have frequently reached out to my office with concerns over speeding on St Clair Avenue East from Yonge St to Mt Pleasant Rd. There have been many near misses, accidents and just recently on June 15, 2021 a serious motorcycle accident. Over the last 2 years, Transportation Services have applied a number safety measures to mitigate road incidents and today I am requesting a speed limit reduction as a means to limit dangerous interactions on our roads.
