Like many people across the city Kathy Rowe is hoping a crosswalk can be installed at a busy intersection in her neighbourhood. According to estimates from city staff, a surprisingly low number of crosswalks have actually been installed over the last five years. Jennifer McKelvie (Ward 25 Scarborough—Rouge Park) put through a request to the city for the Meadowvale and Lawrence crosswalk last spring. To get a crosswalk approved a councillor or resident can request a pedestrian crossing protection study from the transportation services division. She points to a recent recommendation from staff not to install crosswalks at every TTC stop as another example of this conflict.
