Police Officers Returning to Intersection

Staff will continue their review of the Leslie/Sheppard construction zone on Monday. In the meantime, I monitored the intersection at rush hour last night and again from 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and decided that action must be taken for the weekend. Many thanks to all of the residents who contacted me as I hadn't been through the intersection since last week.

Since it is the weekend, I made an urgent request to the office of Mayor Miller and his staff have called for a police officer to be back at the interesection today. Last night,I witnessed two near-misses and then, when I came down the hill from the hospital bridge and entered the intersection, I was very nearly rear-ended myself. I became extremely concerned about our Sheppard Ave Saturday Shopping Rush Hour. The Rush Hour that lasts all day!
