As the city filed it

I am writing to request City Council prohibit stopping on the east side of River Street, south of Oak Street to a point 20 metres south. This would result in the removal of one parking space to the south of the pedestrian crossover. This request stems from long-standing safety concerns from local residents who have reported vehicles running through the pedestrian crossover when people are legally crossing, resulting in one recently reported injury.

I have spoken to Toronto Police Services about this intersection. They indicated that the existing parking on River Street south of Oak Street creates obstructed sightlines for vehicles travelling northbound. Removing this parking space would improve vision for drivers and safety for pedestrians.
