As the city filed it

In September 2024, my office met with concerned residents and City Staff to discuss new approaches to road safety at Woodbine Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard East. This curve has been the site of numerous accidents over the years, almost exclusively in the evening, and therefore I recommend the installation of backlit chevron signs to increase visibility for drivers. The estimated cost of installing six backlit chevron signs is approximately $35,000.
