A 24-page report was done on the Intersection at Queen and Pond Street-specifically the yellow house on the corner at 426 Queen street. The first recommendation is to remove the house! It has been the cause of many accidents. The senior and junior high students cross double daily as well as Holy Redeemer traffic and we want it to be a safe crosswalk.
This petition is created for the safety of all- pedestrians, cyclists and vehicular traffic.

The city officials remain silent despite the findings in the report about the yellow house. Post this link on Facebook today and tag your local council member to keep the pressure on them. We cannot wait for another accident before they decide to act.

It is difficult to see traffic approaching from the north without pulling out across the crosswalk, so that makes the corner unsafe for pedestrians. With the new apt building under construction, the intersection will be much busier given that the entrance will be on Pond St.

I live on Queen St., & I've almost been hit 3 times by vehicles coming to the corner while looking left while turning right. And it's also impossible to seeing the Pond St traffic without getting out on the roadside.

I have used this street for many years driving a vehicle and cycling and even walking and every time I come up beside this house - I think how can this house still be legally here????...as it is practically ON the street. Would love to see this house removed to make the area safer. I recall a close call myself with other children crossing the street.

I go to colonel gray and I regularly walk through this intersection and on days there isn’t a crossing guard or construction like there is currently it’s very difficult to both be safe and please drivers who are also consufused about the intersection

As a very close neighbour to this property, it has been a shame that we've been witness to already one to many accidents. In the near future, I too will have my own children travelling across this intersection and hope this matter is delt with this year before something very serious and irreversible happens.

My car was side swiped by another car. The driver said she was unable to see approaching traffic coming down Queen Street towards the waterfront and ‘I just went for it’. More than 7 years later and ongoing medical issues as a direct result of the accident, I am no longer able to work. This is a dangerous area and I steer clear of this intersection as often as possible.

It's time to get this corrected.

I drive by this intersection at least three times a week and am very concerned about the safety of children crossing. The house is practically on Queen Street. Please have some thing done soon!
