View evidenceThe Problem
1
A 400-metre gap with no protected crossing
Between Jones Avenue and Pape Avenue — both signalized intersections on Dundas East — there is no protected pedestrian crossing of any kind. That's roughly 400 metres of arterial road with no signal, no PXO, and no marked mid-block crossing. Dagmar Avenue sits near the middle of that gap.
2
High-speed arterial traffic
Dundas East carries significant volume at speeds that make unprotected crossing dangerous.
3
School routes converge here
Multiple school catchments overlap at this intersection, with children crossing daily without protection.
4
Documented collision history
69 KSI events within 1km since 2006. This is not a perceived risk — it's a measured one.
Why this can't wait
2030
Expected Ontario Line opening
Construction continues across east Toronto until then. Dundas East will absorb construction traffic the entire time.
32
Pedestrians already seriously injured or killed
Within one kilometre of this intersection, before construction traffic begins. The corridor is already unsafe. It is about to get busier.

Protected crossings between Jones and Pape
On the 400-metre stretch of Dundas East between the Jones Avenue and Pape Avenue traffic signals, there is no pedestrian crossing of any kind — exactly where Hideaway Park draws families across the road.
We're asking the City and Metrolinx to act before construction risk peaks, not after.
The Ask
We are requesting that the City of Toronto conduct a warrant study and install a Level 2 Pedestrian Crossover or Intersection Pedestrian Signal at Dundas Street East and Dagmar Avenue.
This is a proven, cost-effective solution that matches the corridor's needs. The City introduced Level 2 PXO guidelines in June 2025 specifically for locations like this.
Learn about the technical requestHow we're doing it
- File formal 311 requests to trigger a warrant study
- Present evidence at Toronto and East York Community Council
- Engage directly with Transportation Services staff
- Build coalition support with road safety organizations
- Document conditions and share with local media
- Maintain consistent, factual, non-partisan messaging
