As the city filed it

I am writing to you today regarding the crosswalk at Queen Street East and Carroll Street. The proximity of this crosswalk to the DVP and the current influx of new residents due to the completion of Riverside Square is the perfect opportunity to create a safer condition along this stretch. Over the past seven years there have been four major accidents at this crosswalk, three of which were pedestrians who were hit at the crosswalk.

In 2015, with the approval of the Riverside Square Development (2015.TE12.7), this Community Council already contemplated potentially installing a light in this area and required the developer to set aside money against this possibility. I am asking for your support to formally begin looking at making this intersection safer.
