On the agenda

As the city filed it

In 2022, residents living along McRoberts Avenue, south of Rogers Road, participated in a traffic safety survey following years of community concerns. The results of that review determined that a majority of McRoberts Avenue residents feel unsafe as a result of dangerous driving and speeding on their street. Drivers routinely use McRoberts Avenue - which is designated as a local street - to avoid traffic on St. Clair Avenue West and Caledonia Road.
