On the agenda

As the city filed it

Mortimer Avenue between Pape Avenue and Broadview Avenue is heavily trafficked east-west residential road used by many commuters and locals alike to travel through East York. It also serves as a main connection to Pottery Road and the DVP. I have heard from many local residents concerned about traffic safety along this section of Mortimer, noting that vehicles frequently exceed the speed limit. Additionally, there have been at least two reported serious pedestrian injuries along this section of Mortimer Avenue as well as recent tragic pet hit and runs.
