  'One-way road conversions are a great tool in safeguarding road users in our communities. These measures enhance pedestrian safety, alleviate congestion during peak periods and increase parking availability. These conversions will also benefit schools that have a higher number of vulnerable road users during morning drop-offs and afternoon pick-ups. The statutory public comment process is an important aspect of this undertaking. I encourage you to view the maps and submit any comment or input you may have,' said the City's Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas.
