On the agenda

As the city filed it

Vision Zero is the commitment to eliminating all traffic fatalities and injuries on our roads. With the goal of fulfilling the City of Toronto's commitment to achieving Vision Zero, this Motion responds to a number of barriers to the implementation of traffic calming measures and road safety improvements City-wide. In order to put our vision into action, more work needs to be done to bring our policies at the City of Toronto in line with our commitments on road safety.
