July 12th Meeting With Toronto Police Services

On July 12th I meet with the Communinity Response of team, Toronto Police Services regarding excessive speeding by drivers going both east and west on Oxton Avenue.

During the meeting I presented the Pedestrian Safety Petition, the power point presentation I used in my first meeting with Councilor Michael Walker June 17th and Oxton Avenue photography's highlighting what I believe to be are problem areas.

The Community Response office appeared very impressed with the results Pedestrian Safety Petition and the messages behind the photographs.

He was very supportive of our efforts to make Oxton Avenue save for Petestrians and offered support in three area. They were as follows:
  • 6 speed enforcement days on Oxton Aveneue (up from 0)
  • One month's statical information resulting from the 6 enforcement days
  • A letter to Councilman Walker requesting action should the enforcement days yield disturbing statistics.


The period of speed enforcement would be from July 12th to August 12th, 2005.

I have to say the Community response Staff Sergeant I met with was great. Hats off to the Police for his support!

Regards, mark
