City Council authorize the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Midland Avenue and Aylesworth Avenue. 2.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Midland Avenue between Kingston Rd. and Eglinton Ave. is classified as a minor arterial. It is well travelled - particularly during rush hours, which coincide with the beginning and end of the school days. John A. Leslie School Public School is located on the east side Midland Ave. across from Aylesworth Ave. There is currently a pedestrian crossover at this location. However my office has received many emails and phone calls from parents and residents expressing serious concerns of pedestrian safety, in particular that of children crossing Midland Ave, going to and from school.

Recently, there was a near miss when a southbound vehicle ran though the crossing, despite flashing PXO lights and a crossing guard present. In order to ensure the safety of pedestrians at this intersection, I support the replacement of the pedestrian crossing with traffic control signals.
