TORONTO --
A Toronto mother is petitioning the city to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists in High Park and along the Martin Goodman Trail.
Every day, Coline Berbesson pushes her son’s stroller in High Park and said she sees problems with some cyclists going on the sidewalk, missing stop signs, biking outside lanes, and speeding over the 20 kilometre limit.
Berbesson said it’s especially endangering for pedestrians and children learning to ride their bikes.
“I saw an accident with a little girl a week ago. She was training and hit the cyclist because he was going way too fast and he couldn’t brake to avoid her,” Berbesson told CTV News Toronto on Tuesday.
