Community Safety

 

     Making a safer community is always a priority. Consider, the Willowdale community is the most populated ward and one of the wealthiest communities in Toronto. There are issues with people who use local small road to make speedy short cuts which makes residents unsafe especially for children. Frequent robbery is another neighborhood issue which can be addressed with neighborhood watch.

 

Suggestion

 

1. Reduce local area speed and increases speed where necessary.

•  Single two way local area reduce 10km/h, Double two way line for 50km/h

• Big street like Yonge St., Bayview and Bathurst St. 60km/h zone.

• Use portable speed monitors to warn drivers and mount speed cameras to deter fast and reckless             driving.

• make sure big streets are moving well and maintained so people do not use local road as short cuts.

 

2. More police bicycle patrol and neighborhood watch.

• make efficient use of police forces. Mount the camera on speedy areas and reduce police enforcement     to catch the speeders.This will replace man power with ready to use camera technology.
