City work crews installed temporary barriers along Lake Shore Blvd. Friday near the site where a 5-year-old boy was struck by a car after falling into traffic while biking on the Martin Goodman Trail. Permanent fencing will be erected along the stretch of road near Jameson Ave. As well as improved signage and pavement markings for cyclists and drivers. Mayor John Tory asked city officials to conduct a safety review of Toronto’s approximately 300-kilometre network of multi-use trails after a car struck Xavier Morgan when he lost control of his bike May 24. “I support city staff increasing safety along a busy section of the Martin Goodman Trail by putting up barrier fencing,” Mayor John Tory said in a statement.
