Squeaky Wheel Campaign
One of the key issues in our neighbourhood is unsafe driving.
This issue is only to get worse with all the new developments being built.
The IRRA Board has been informed that the best action to take is to report the behaviour to the Toronto Police Service.
If speeding, ignoring of stop signs or other dangerous driving behaviour is happening on your area the IRRA encourages you to submit an Ongoing Local Neighbourhood Traffic Complaint.
Submitting a complaint is a straight forward process for which you do not need to know a specific vehicle.
Collectively, let's become a squeaky wheel that the TPS has a hard time ignoring!
