As a resident of Liberty Village, I bear the daily brunt of the intense traffic in the neighbourhood. The prosperity and tranquility that once defined our space are being drowned under the incessant humming of vehicles. It is disheartening to learn that Metrolinx is planning to bring in 40-50 dump trucks a day in 2024 and a staggering 300-400 dump trucks a day during 2025-2029 to work on the Ontario Line. This area, particularly at the intersection of East Liberty and Strachan, would be directly hit by these extraordinary traffic loads.

It is not easy to ignore the strategic importance of the Ontario Line for the broader mobility system of Toronto. But there must be other ways to achieve this goal that don't disrupt the peace and environmental integrity of our neighbourhood to such a great extent. We invite Metrolinx and the relevant city agencies to reconsider their plans, find alternative routes or methods, and keep the residents of Liberty Village in the core of their decision-making process.

Please, join me in this fight for a peaceful and safe community. Sign the petition now. Let's together tell Metrolinx: Enough is enough. We deserve better.
