On the agenda

As the city filed it

Concerns have been raised to my office by residents in the Meadowvale Road and Sheppard Avenue East community regarding the Toronto Transit Commission's decision to remove Bus Stops without protected pedestrian crossings. Residents have been using these bus stops for decades and have let my office know that the removal of the stops would create significant stress, especially for seniors and those who rely on them for daily use.

Additionally, there is presently no protected crossing to access Rouge Park along this stretch of Sheppard Avenue East. In response to these concerns, I request that Traffic Management, Transportation Services in conjunction with the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) discuss the preservation or relocation of the bus stops through investigating the feasibility of installing pedestrian crossing protections on Sheppard Avenue East between, Meadowvale Road and Durnford Road/Atrium Lane.
