Petition for a Safe Crossing : Dundas & Wimbleton/Old Oak
    To:  Cllr. Stephen Holyday, Mayor Tory, All other Members of Council, and Barbara Grey (General Manager, Transportation Services) 

     The Better Dundas Coalition consists of people who live on or near Dundas Street West, between the Humber River and Islington Avenue.  We want the City  to make it into a “Complete Street,” which is safe, pleasant and efficient for all its users.
    The intersection between Dundas, Wimbleton and Old Oak is very problematic.  Many people would like to cross Dundas here to access the new Humbertown Park, Kingsway College School, St. George's Church, Humbertown Mall, etc.   However Dundas is VERY dangerous to cross here due to the high speed of the traffic, the width of the street, and the lack of traffic lights or crosswalk.  This intersection is in the middle of a 1.3 km stretch of Dundas with no safe crossing places.   It is also very difficult for motor vehicles and cyclists to turn left at this intersection.

     We want the City of Toronto to install a traffic light at Dundas/Wimbleton/Old Oak.      Doing so would prevent injuries and deaths, advancing the City's Vision Zero goals.  It would also facilitate left turns and make this neighbourhood much more pleasant and improve quality of life.

    Please add your name below if you agree!

    There have been previous efforts to make this happen, for example:      www.toronto.com/news-story/43873-dundas-west-intersection-under-the-microscope-again/.  However in light of the City's current goal to eliminate all traffic fatalities, we think it is time to try again.
