Improve Gould and Victoria Street Intersection

We, the undersigned, petition the city to improve the intersection at Gould and Victoria Streets. Below are the improvements that we recommend:

1) A pedestrian crossing sign at each corner of the intersection
2) More visible stop signs
3) New application of paint for traffic lines on Gould and Victoria Streets

The above improvements would add to the safety of both pedestrians and motorists.

53\% of those surveyed (126 out of 239), have encountered problems while crossing this intersection. These problems include: nearly being hit, difficulty crossing due to right-of-way confusion, aggressive drivers, traffic congestion, etc.

According to the Fifth Principle of the Toronto Pedestrian Charter, Personal and Community Safety entails an environment in which people feel safe and comfortable (2002).

Why wait for someone to be hurt before taking action? We implore the city to take action now!
