Road safety in Willowdale continues to be a significant issue in local communities. Providing safe spaces for residents of all ages to walk and cycle in their local neighbourhoods is a critical part of reducing the number of trips taken in cars, and reducing the overall traffic impact on our local roads.

On November 19, John is assembling a panel to discuss current and future initiatives relating to road safety in local neighbourhoods. Panellists will include TDSB trustee Alexander Brown, Friends & Family for Safe Streets and community road safety advocates.

Topics will include the City’s Vision Zero program, photo radar rollout, red light cameras, speed limit reductions, addressing gaps in our sidewalk network, increase in traffic signals for safe crossing, police enforcement strategies and other traffic calming countermeasures.

John encourages residents to attend and participate in the town hall taking place on November 19, share their thoughts and participate in interactive polls throughout the evening. Residents can also view the presentation or participate online at https://johnfilion.ca/.
