There have been changes in on-street parking, and local residents have expressed concerns about dangerous crossing conditions. The need for improved crosswalks and infrastructure has been emphasized, especially with increasing residential development in the area.

We've heard through the the public engagement process a lot of commentary from local residents in the in the community board as to the sort of dangerous condition crossing from this triangular shaped site to over Woodpoint Road and the desire for DOT to install more or improve more crosswalks.
