Description

Have you ever tried to cross University Avenue at College Street? If not, you have 26 seconds to scurry across. I can run 10 km in an hour, but I can barely make it across University at this intersection before the lights turn red. Yes there is an island in the middle of University Avenue, and yes I could run across but let's not forget that Toronto's major hospitals are located just south of this intersection on both sides of University Avenue and many seniors and individuals with mobility issues are trying to cross this street. The last thing I want to do is to run into any of these individuals. In contrast, you get 50 seconds to cross College Street at this intersection - so why such a discrepancy?
