On the agenda

As the city filed it

Over the past year, I have heard from both the owners and residents of Don Area Co-operative Homes requesting bollard installations on account of safety concerns and extensive property damage due to large delivery trucks driving onto the small concrete path adjacent to their property at 14 Spruce Street in an attempt to drive around vehicles actively making deliveries in the laneway. Trucks will attempt to drive onto the small cement path thinking there is enough room and will end up hitting utility lines and the second story overhang.

In their letter, the Co-op has incurred significant repair costs due to property damage. As a result, my office has consulted with Transportation Staff and is recommending the installation of rigid, impact-resistant, fixed-in-place bollards to protect the adjacent property and enhance community safety.
