On the agenda
As the city filed it
I am writing to request your support in authorizing the installation of a Pedestrian Crossover at Davenport Road and Rains Avenue/Turner Road. Several families in this area (on Rains Avenue and Melita Avenue, south of Davenport) with very young children, and with many being dog-walkers, frequently cross to the north side of Davenport Road, a busy major arterial, in a very unsafe manner to have access to the Hillcrest Park via the south west entrance.

Their only option of crossing safely to access the Park is to walk further east on Davenport, about 3 blocks to Christie Street, which takes several minutes, even though there's an entrance directly across from them. Transportation staff have indicated that there has been no collision history here which may not warrant a PXO. However, the community has called for this for several years running, and it's an attempt to get ahead of any potential incidents in the future to ensure safety, particularly for young children.
Staff recommended
Councillor Matlow recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the installation of a pedestrian crossover at Davenport Road and Rains Avenue/Turner Road.
