On the agenda

As the city filed it

Reverend Porter lane is a one way northbound lane, from Carleton Street to Wood Street. Pedestrians using the sidewalk along Wood Street are constantly at risk of being hit by a vehicle exiting Reverend Porter Lane due to a lack of safety features for both motorists and pedestrians at the mouth of the lane's exit on Wood Street. My office has consulted with Transportation Staff about the feasibility of adding new road safety features.
