On the agenda
As the city filed it
Euclid Avenue is an interior residential street with schools and a heavily used children's park, which used to carry primarily local traffic. As the closest northbound street west of Bathurst that runs continuously from Queen Street to north of Bloor, Euclid now suffers from heavy cut-through traffic by impatient drivers, directed there by navigation apps. As a result, seniors, families, cyclists and children are increasingly at risk.

Many of these drivers block or push through pedestrians and cyclists travelling east on Bloor Street in order to turn left onto Bloor or Harbord. There is no traffic light at these now dangerous intersections. After extensive consultation with concerned neighbours, discouraging navigation apps from directing through traffic along Euclid is a high local priority.
