City Council will vote to call on Metrolinx to keep our streets safe by improving truck safety on the haul routes for the Ontario Line.
Here is my letter to Executive Committee and the motion.
Please tell City Council to support this motion.
This motion comes after over 200 people joined my meeting co-hosted with MPP Peter Tabuns and Public School Trustee Sara Ehrhardt in October about truck safety.
Residents provided valuable feedback on next steps for Metrolinx during the next phases of construction.
The proposed measures in my motion include:
- GPS tracking and reporting for all Ontario Line construction trucks
- Clear labeling (magnetic identifiers) on trucks indicating their affiliation with the Ontario Line project
- this is already an active measure for downtown trucks at both King-Bathurst and Exhibition Stations
- Improved communication and response times by Metrolinx of concerns and complaints about truck safety
