I am kindly asking for your support of my motion to expedite safety installations along the Vaughan Road corridor that intersects with Arlington Avenue. A mother and child were struck by a driver at this intersection on the morning of Wednesday April 2, 2025. This collision highlights the urgency and significance of the changes that are expected to come from the Oakwood Village Neighbourhood Streets Plan as well as the Vaughan Road Safety Upgrade Study which implements one of the segments in the 2025-27 Cycling Network Plan.

My office has been working closely with community members and staff in Transportation Services to advocate for further road safety studies in the Oakwood Village through the two projects above, as well as standalone improvements. While my office looks forward to the changes that are anticipated to come from the larger scale projects, immediate action must be taken to install proposed safety improvements along this corridor as soon as possible, independent from the projects wherever possible.
