On the agenda

As the city filed it

Toronto is seeing an unprecedented number of high performance vehicles and motorcycles speeding and drag racing throughout the city, often with modified mufflers that emit extremely disruptive levels of noise. Yorkville feels this pressure more than most areas. It has become a destination for people with loud vehicles making their presence known, while driving recklessly and dangerously. In order to ensure that Yorkville remains a safe and liveable environment for residents, we must take steps to reduce the speed and danger posed by these vehicles.
