Marowyne-Glentworth Traffic Safety Improvements Last year, Interim Geometric Safety Improvements (IGSI) were installed at the intersection of Marowyne Dr & Glentworth Rd. These changes are intended to reduce the speed at which cars make turns at this intersection and put an end to rolling stops, making it safer for all road users. This location was selected after several local residents expressed concern with the speed at which cars were travelling around this bend. These are "interim" changes that are intended to stay in place until construction can take place to make permanent changes to the intersection. As these are interim changes , City staff will continue to observe and evaluate the effectiveness of these measures. Please feel free to share any feedback on these changes with the Vision Zero team at VisionZeroTO@toronto.ca to help inform the permanent changes that will eventually be made here. HISTORY Previous to the IG SI installation, the intersection looked like this: As shown above, the southwest corner of the intersection has a very large curve. This curve encouraged drivers to take turns at high speeds, which made the intersection less safe for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. Quick-Build Safety Improvements The following Quick-Build Safety Improvements (QBSI) were implemented at Glentworth & Marowyne to address the above issues: Curb radii reductions / curb extensions to encourage drivers to turn at a slower speed. Normalizing the approach of Glentworth Road to Marowyne Drive to as close to 90 degrees as possible, allowing drivers better sightlines and reducing blind spots. Removing excess pavement area to reduce the crossing distance and exposure to traffic, for both pedestrians and cyclists. More details are shown in the presentation below: Frequently Asked Questions How are these designed, and how does the City ensure the road is still safe for cars? Why are temporary materials used? Are these changes permanent? Will this make traffic worse? Designs are completed per the City's Engineering Guidelines, and aim to improve safety for all road users. Changes to intersection geometrics are tested using computer-aided drafting tools in order to ensure that all vehicles can be safely accommodated. The safety improvements are delivered using quick-build materials like paint, signs, and plastic bollards in order to achieve safety improvements more rapidly in areas where larger capital works are not currently planned. City staff understand that residents might not enjoy the aesthetics of the chosen materials. However, the use of quick-build materials allows staff to implement the safety improvements quickly and make sure it works for the neighbourhood before making the changes permament. These changes are considered "interim". They are intended to remain in place until construction can be scheduled to make permanent improvements to the intersection. Typically, permanent measures are installed in conjunction with road resurfacing. Generally, with projects like this, drivers become familiar with the new roadway after a short adjustment period and are able to navigate the intersection safely and at appropriate speeds.

Ethennonnhawahstihnen’ Park, Community Centre & Library “'Ethennonnhawahstihnen’ – where they had a good, beautiful life.” – The Wendat Nation Community Centre & Library Grand Opening! Mark your calendars! The Grand Opening of the Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Community Centre & Library is coming up on March 23rd at 10:00 AM. We are honoured to have representatives from the Huron-Wendat Nation, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and Six Nations of the Grand River in attendance. There will be cultural performances and free activities for the whole family to enjoy, including swimming, face painting, fitness classes, and more! For those of you who haven't been, the community centre is located at 100 Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Lane, behind Bessarion TTC Station. On October 10, 2019, North York Community Council voted unanimously in support of re-naming Woodsy Park to Ethennonnhawahstihnen’ Park. [Pronunciation: et-hen-nonn-ha-wah-stih-nen’] On July 4, 2023, Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Community Recreation Centre & Library opened to the public. These actions are a step towards fulfilling the City of Toronto’s commitment to truth and reconciliation with the Indigenous people. This name was suggested by the Wendat community, and honours the Wendat Nation who first inhabited the area. History Wendat place names typically reflect the geological features of the landscape or document events that occu rred there. A significant Wendat archaeological site, the Moatfield Ossuary , is only 500-800 metres from this park and adjacent street. One of the striking things about this area was the presence of many people who lived over the age of 50, which was not common at the time. The inhabitants enjoyed good health and lived in peace, experiencing much less violence and warfare compared to other sites.

Improving Safety at Blue Ridge Road Shelley has taken action to permanently address ongoing community safety concerns at the north end of Blue Ridge Road caused by obstructed sight lines. After consulting with local residents and Transportation Services staff, Shelley moved a motion at the February meeting of North York Community Council to permanently close the Blue Ridge Road cul-de-sac to vehicular traffic. In addition to the safety concerns reported by our community, staff agreed that vehicular traffic should be prohibited from entering the cul-de-sac to address issues related to erosion and slope stability at the west portion of the cul-de-sac. The northerly portion of Blue Ridge Road is now designated as a pedestrian way, which means that the cul-de-sac will be closed to vehicular traffic with the exception of bicycles and emergency service vehicles. Currently, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) are undertaking remedial work in the stream valley corridor behind Clarinda Drive . The purpose of this work is to protect private properties and municipal sewer infrastructure from valley slope instability related to erosion hazards within the ravine. TRCA vehicles are using the Blue Ridge Road cul-de-sac as a staging area, which has prevented general vehicles from parking in the area. The TRCA remedial work is tentatively scheduled to be completed by Summer 2024, at which point Transportation Services staff will install physical infrastructure to support and facilitate the closure. If you have any questions, please contact Joshua Bowman, Director, Policy and Stakeholder Relations, at Joshua.Bowman@Toronto.ca .
