Original Description:

Goal: Bump outs on St Joseph Street east of Bay (north and south corners) and west of Yonge (north and south corners) to enhance/replace the temporary streetscape (planters and concrete curbs). St. Joseph is one way eastbound and experiences issues with vehicles driving the wrong way. Changes would enhance pedestrian safety, meeting the City’s Vision Zero goals.

Note: This is one idea which can be scoped in a range of cost brackets, with associated investments ranging from large to very significant. It is hoped that there will be ongoing dialogue with the Councillor’s office to qualify and shape this idea further as design and cost input is received from staff experts at the City, and prior to it being submitted for voting.
