  • 83 Cowan Ave Toronto, Ontario - Toronto
    Two years ago, a new play structure was placed in the park. At that time, sand was added to the ground but no lip between the sand area and the pavement was created. As such the pavement is always covered with sand, which is very dangerous for cyclists and children running as there is no traction. Two complaints have been filed with 311, and at least three emails have been exchanged with Parks staff, who have been "looking into it" for years. Its not hard to fix: remove sand or add a lip keep the sand off.
  • 363 Dufferin St Toronto, ON - Toronto
    I'm grateful for the new Dufferin underpass, but the timing of the traffic light for north/south traffic has not yet been adjusted, and so getting through that intersection is as much if not more of a nightmare than ever. The north/south lights are only 18 seconds long, whereas the east/west lights on Queen are at least 45 seconds if not 60. With pedestrian traffic, all it takes is one left-turning vehicle and one right-turning vehicle to ensure that only one or two cars are getting through the intersection per cycle. Please, update the light timing!!!! thank you
  • 30 Springhurst Ave Toronto, Ontario - Toronto
    Today the dufferin street bridge was closed. The cities solution for traffic for the next 18 months? Springhurst ave, a small residential street with speed bumps and a "no trucks allowed " sign, long ignored by truckers and police. This street is now lined up with cars, dump trucks, and transport trucks. Residential streets are not for re routing major arteries for long periods of time. The city needs to actually think about logistics for once, not slap up a road closed sign leaving commuters and truckers to clog an otherwise nice quiet street. Where is the " local traffic only" sign? why do police refuse to enforce the " no trucks" signs? Just another case of Toronto being run by people without a clue of how a major city should be run. I Pay a rent premium for lake front views, now I am paying for a traffic jam under my nose with transport and dump trucks every 30 seconds.

  • Queen St W @ Dufferin St Toronto, ON - Toronto
    As part of the new Dufferin "Tunnel", new "No Right on Red" signs were installed recently at Queen & Dufferin. However, the northbound restriction should be moved for eastbound traffic. Northbound has a clear view of eastbound traffic, but eastbound traffic cannot clearly see southbound traffic coming from tunnel, leading to close calls or vehicles blocking the sidewalk.
