On the agenda
As the city filed it
Bayview Avenue is a busy major arterial road that runs through the center of Don Valley West. South of Moore Avenue, Bayview Avenue has a sharp curve where many north and southbound vehicles tend to travel at high speeds that are not appropriate for a residential and commercial area. On Thursday, January 2, 2025 a vehicle travelling northbound along this stretch of Bayview Avenue crashed into a concrete barrier located in the parking lot of a grocery store.

The driver sustained serious injuries but is expected to survive, in part due to the heroic actions of two by-standers who were able to put out the engine fire before first responders arrived on-scene. In the short time since I was elected, I have already been contacted by several constituents about this location. While the Toronto Police Service are continuing to investigate the cause of this incident, the City must conduct a parallel review of how the road design could be improved.
