Why is this story here?
ContainedInstallation of traffic signals at one intersection is a bounded, reversible decision. It affects a specific location and does not change institutional capacity or constrain future councils. A future council could modify or remove the signals if needed.Touches a narrow groupThe safety benefit applies specifically to people who cross Kipling and Firwood, a recognizable but limited group. Most Toronto residents will not encounter this intersection. The effect is real for users but not broad-based.
