42 Year Old Pedestrian Killed by Vehicle

I am full of grief as I share my condolences with the family and loved ones of the 42-year-old Toronto woman who was killed yesterday evening after being struck by a car. My heart breaks for everyone who knew her and is feeling her sudden, tragic, and preventable loss today. 

The woman was struck at around 5:45 PM at a pedestrian crossover at the Sackville and Queen Street East intersection. Local residents have flagged this intersection as unsafe and potentially requiring an upgrade to a full traffic light. I will speak to the City about expediting this process. 

Much more must be done to make our streets safe for pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. As a pedestrian and cyclist myself, I know that our streets are sometimes dangerous places to be. Toronto’s Vision Zero strategy is working to address these safety gaps, but expedited action is clearly needed to save lives and prevent tragedies like the one our community is currently experiencing.

Provincial Legislation like the Protecting Vulnerable Road Users Act, tabled by my colleague MPP Jessica Bell, must be passed and acted upon to make our streets safer and prevent the next tragedy.
