Here's a note from Victoria, a local Oxton-Oriole neighborhood resident, who writes...
Dear Mark,
Definitely add my name [to the Safety Petition]...
...I have been a resident of the area for ten years and totally agree - the problem is worse, not better. I've read the police and city reports/findings on your site, and no surprise! Pedestrians are second-class citizens in this city, and especially at this obscene corner. I do believe that one day there will be a serious injury.
The only reason there hasn't been one to date is thanks to the cautious pedestrians who dare not step off the curbs until completely certain there isn't an SUV barrelling down on them from one of two - no three - directions.
The drivers don't even bother to look now; they just blithely pour off Oxton into oncoming traffic. I've witness this on a daily basis. If bodies and vehicles don't collide one of these days, two vehicles
will...
