Walk Toronto has submitted a letter to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee supporting councillor Mike Layton’s request to reduce the number of intersections where vehicle right turns are allowed on red lights.
The letter was drafted by Walk Toronto’s Daniella Levy-Pinto. Sean Marshall spoke to the item at the committee meeting.
“Walk Toronto supports reducing the number of intersections that allow right turns on red. However, we see this as just the first step. If Toronto Council is truly committed to the principles of Vision Zero — and if it is serious about following the example of peer cities such as Montreal and New York — then it will enact a city-wide, blanket prohibition of right turns on red.“
