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!

I live on pond and have to cross this intersection often. Both side of queen have blind spots for the drives pulling on to queen street.

Agreed. Removal needs to be a priority. Other similar blind intersections need to be considered, such as Kensington Rd. & Park St. & Belmont Rd.

I agree, this intersection is a concern. There are lots like it, with houses crowded up next to a tight turn. The difference here, I think, is how close it is to a high traffic (and possibly higher speed for many drivers) thoroughfare like Queen Street. Still think expropriation and forced demolition/moving the building should be a last resort, hopefully the owners are adequately compensated. In the end, though, we have to do what is safest for residents.

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.

This intersection has been unsafe for years. Get it fixed before someone is killed...
