As the city filed it

The intersection between Bayview Avenue and Nesbitt Drive is hazardous. It is located at the top of a long and very steep hill, where speeding is common. The intersection is close to an underpass, has limited visibility and lacks sidewalks. U-turns at this location are particularly hazardous because northbound and southbound drivers are frequently travelling at speed and are unable to see the U-turning vehicle until the last moment.
