Larry Gross2 years ago Cummer Ave is a busy two lane route. It has traffic that is local, as well as traffic from Mcnicol that may originate as far away as Warden, or Victoria Park, short cutting through our neighbourhoods. Long distance mcnicol commuters should not be jamming Cummer, from Leslie, during the morning commute, and becoming irate, as they head west through our residential neighbourhoods towards Yonge. This traffic should be redirected to Steeles, or Finch through traffic calming measures. Perhaps bus and ridesharing only restrictions should be placed on drivers entering Cummer from Mcnichol during the morning commute. Near the health care facilities at Willowdale there should be noise monitoring equipment that automatically tickets loud vehicles operating without functioning mufflers. To combat overnight speeding, electronic speed enforcement should be installed on Cummer, between Willowdale ave, and Bayview ave. On Royal Orchard blvd in Thornhill, traffic has been calmed with the use of meandering lane painting on the road. On some stretches of Cummer, near the health care centres, there may be room to introduce curving lane markings, to slow traffic.

Jesse Han2 years ago There are two proposals in one post.Proposal #1Proposal: Remove all the fencing and cement barriers that allow for pedestrians and cyclists to cross between Finch Station and the parking lot.Background: Getting to or from Finch Station or Yonge Street onto the parking lot presents unnecessary hazards for pedestrians and cyclists due to a narrow sidewalk path. The removal of all the fencing and cement barriers seen in the photo above would create separation between the two groups and improve the flow of movement and visibility (eliminating blind spots). This proposal would support Vision Zero in mitigating any injuries that could occur. Additionally, removing 2 metres of the taxi fence next to the station so that cyclists do not need to swerve into the sidewalk by the station.Proposal #2Proposal: Removal of bushes at the TTC Finch Station passenger pick-up and increased size of the sidewalk path along Hendon Ave entering Hendon Park.Background: Cross from Yonge Street into Hendon Ave, the sidewalk path is very narrow, which is a hazard for pedestrians and casual cyclists. Motorists are often driving out from the TTC Finch Station passenger pick-up because they cannot see incoming traffic, pedestrians or cyclists. This presents risk for pedestrians and cyclists having to move around the vehicle into oncoming traffic or behind the vehicle, which does not support the goals of Vision Zero. Removing the bushes (as much as I do love nature) would be vital in removing blind spots for motorists and ensuring they stop to allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross safely to or from Hendon Park.Additionally, increasing the size of the sidewalk would greatly improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists by providing adequate space amongst both groups and would connect much more smoothly along the Finch Hydro Corridor.
