NEW Crossing Aides

New street crossing aides have been installed on Parliament and Carlton Street, right here in Cabbagetown.

This intersection has long been a source of concern for area residents, businesses and their patrons. Given recent accidents at this intersection, we are so pleased that these pedestrian buttons are going in.

Please remember to use the buttons for safe crossing!
