As the city filed it

For many years, residents have raised safety concerns about heavy truck traffic on Power Street for all road users. Power is a small local road, home to several residential buildings and a dog off leash area. The road intersects with westbound traffic coming off the Don Valley Parkway off-ramp onto Richmond Street East as well as eastbound traffic travelling towards the Adelaide Street East Bridge. To improve safety in the area, the City is currently in the process of installing new traffic signals at the intersections of Power Street and Richmond Street East, and Power Street and Adelaide Street East.

As this work is being undertaken, I asked Transportation Services staff to review additional changes that could further bolster safety on the corridor. A heavy truck ban emerged as an initiative that was proposed by residents and supported by staff.

Staff recommended
