John Parker calls for extension of Redway Rd.

John Parker (Ward 26) has told Mike Adler of the East York Mirror that the Redway Road extension should be built now. He has brought a motion to the Public Works Committee to this effect. The Redway proposal would extend the road from the CPR overpass at Millwood Rd. to the Bayview extension at Nesbitt Drive. In the past, the proposed road has been resisted by Rosedale residents who fear more traffic through the north end of the neighborhood coming and going from the Mt. Pleasant extension  But there have been renewed concerns about Leaside traffic since the death of Georgia Walsh at the corner of McRae Drive and Millwood in July. Mr. Parker told the Mirror that the need to take action could not be clearer. At present, Redway Road ends at the Loblaws store.  East York Mirror
