Why is this story here?
ContainedA single-intersection traffic signal installation is a bounded decision. It affects one specific location and is reversible; a future council could remove the signals if warranted. The decision does not constrain future councils' options broadly or change institutional capacity.Touches a narrow groupThe intersection of Midland Avenue and Kilcullen Castle Gate affects residents, cyclists and transit users at that specific location. The salience is real but geographically narrow. Most Toronto residents do not cross this intersection in an ordinary week, so present effect is indirect or narrow rather than broad.
