Another pedestrian was seriously injured this afternoon on Avenue Road near Davenport.
The collision involved a pedestrian, and three cars. One car jumped the curb onto the sidewalk. The pedestrian was transferred to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Road safety improvements on Avenue Road are scheduled to start soon, which unfortunately was not soon enough to prevent another injury. The planned updates to this section of the road include adding pedestrian spaces with physical barriers to separate them from vehicular lanes, reducing the number of lanes from six to four, and installing a new pedestrian signal at Ramsden Park. There will be no bike lanes north of Davenport.
