As the city filed it
With Watermain and imminent TTC Track Work on Broadview Avenue between Gerrard and Danforth residents in the area are concerned about pedestrian safety in the vicinity of Riverdale Park East, which is one of the busiest parks in the East End. However above and beyond the temporary concerns is the long standing community request for a traffic light to improve pedestrian safety around Riverdale Park East. In a letter on April 30th 2021 the General Manager of Transportation confirmed that staff should be working on determining an optimal location for a traffic signal on Broadview.

However staff have now indicated that they are not planning on installing a traffic signal, and instead wish to wait for additional traffic counts. This is not the first request. The latest request was in 2016 after overwhelming feedback during the consultations on upgrades to Riverdale Park East, and other similar requests stretch back to 2005. This needs to be addressed, and I am asking for your support to remedy this issue.
Staff recommended
Councillor Fletcher recommends that Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Direct the General Manager of Transportation to report to the September 9th Meeting of Community Council with on the preferred location for the long discussed traffic signal on Broadview that would provide safest access to Riverdale Park .
