Request for an All-Way Stop at Marcella Street and Summerbridge Road
My office had received a resident request for an all-way stop at Marcella St and Summerbridge Rd to enhance pedestrian safety, especially as it is in close proximity of Willow Park JPS. Transportation Services conducted their study and based on the results; the request was not justified. 

My office did request that 43 Division conduct speed enforcement on the street in the Spring to address the issue with speeding that was brought to our attention. Please contact my office at councillor_ainslie_co@toronto.ca / 416-396-7222 if you have concerns/experienced issues with speeding on the street.
