The RSTC Vision:

The Road Safety and Transportation Committee (RSTC) is dedicated to improving the safety of the roads and transportation infrastructure within our neighbourhood. The RSTC is working with the office of University-Rosedale Councillor Dianne Saxe on traffic calming measures to promote road safety across the Annex. 

The RSTC’s vision for healthy streets seeks to create a leading-edge, inner city, safe and pedestrian/cyclist friendly neighbourhood that can absorb increased density.

Recent Developments:

The RSTC’s work during 2024 and 2025 has resulted in several big wins, summarized in the map below:

Context:

In 2024, the RSTC developed an “Action Plan for Healthy Streets” (approved by the ARA Board, November 14, 2024). To read the plan click here.

Following an Annex-wide survey* and a public consultation meeting**, it is clear that the Annex community favours using a range of solutions to improve road safety.

All quantitative and qualitative responses have been summarized, and based on the input received, the RSTC has been able to formulate a three-pronged-approach generated from three distinct areas of concern: 1) Big Changes, 2) Quicker Fixes, and 3) Conduct.
