The Problem

1

A wide gap in crossing infrastructure

The nearest protected crossings are a traffic signal at Greenwood (~280 metres west) and a Pedestrian Crossover at Alton (~169 metres east). Round-trip from a household mid-block to either crossing can exceed 500 metres — long enough that many people choose to cross unprotected instead.

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.

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.
