Yesterday morning, the city of Toronto officially unveiled a Pedestrian Priority Phase at the intersection of Yonge and Dundas. This adds an extra opportunity for a pedestrian only crossing phase which will allow the public to cross diagonally across the intersection, as well as east-west or north-south.

Councillor Kyle Rae, councillor Glenn De Baermaeker, head of the city’s works department and Gary Welsh, general manager of the city’s transportation services were all on hand to address the public and field questions from the media.
