It's Time to Revisit Safety on Parkside Drive

Fight Back with Libby Znaimer

TUNE INTO THE TOWN: THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE ACCOUNTABILITY AT THE CITY Tasha Kheiriddin is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by Karen Stintz, a Conservative Party of Canada Candidate for Eglinton-Lawrence, a former Toronto City Councillor and the CEO of Variety Village, Toronto City Councillor Paula Fletcher for Ward 14 Toronto Danforth and Barbara Hall, a former Toronto Mayor. Our panel reacts to the damning Toronto auditor general findings regarding City workers responsible for maintaining parks, an online payment system the City uses, and Metrolinx making changes to its senior leadership. Will that lead to projects like the Eglinton Crosstown LRT being sped up towards completion after years of delay? PM TRUDEAU TESTIFIES OVER FOREIGN INTERFERENCE Tasha Kheiriddin is joined by Will Stewart, a Conservative Strategist and Senior Vice President with Enterprise Canada, Robin Sears, a Crisis Communications Consultant and former NDP Strategist and George Smitherman, a former Ontario Deputy Premier and Health Minister. This week: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau testified during the public inquiry into foreign interference. Closer to home, Ontario residents could see a rebate announced by the Ford government in its upcoming Fall economic statement. TIME TO REVISIT SAFETY AROUND PARKSIDE DRIVE Tasha Kheiriddin is joined by Faraz Gholizadeh, a Parkside resident and Co-Chair of Safe Parkside and Jacquelyn Hayward, Director of Planning, Design and Management, Transportation Services at City of Toronto. We take a closer look at a final study produced by the City of Toronto focused on enhancing safety measures for Parkside Drive by High Park where, tragically, two seniors were killed in a chain reaction crash and many collisions have taken place over the last decade. Does the plan go far enough in making the road safer for residents?
