"Toronto is statistically one of the safest cities in the world, but true safety means constantly improving support for our most vulnerable residents, from mental health crisis teams to strict RentSafeTo enforcement."

Austin Vieira

Transit Safety & Infrastructure
Police Presence at Stations: Advocate for increased, visible police patrols at all TTC stations in the ward to deter violence and harassment before it starts.

Station Environment Upgrades
Implement transparent standards for lighting and cleanliness at all TTC stops, treating "cosmetic" fixes as essential safety improvements.

Road Safety & "Vision Zero" Initiatives
Accelerated Traffic Calming: Fast-track the installation of speed humps, stop signs, and safety zones on local streets, particularly in high-risk areas identified by residents.

School Zone Protection
Prioritize "Vision Zero" infrastructure near school zones, including raised crosswalks and narrower lanes, to protect vulnerable students.

Community & Neighborhood Security
Seasonal Safety Plans Renew and expand the "Summer Safety Plan" for the Beach, including increased by-law enforcement and patrols (foot, bike, and ATV) to manage large crowds and reckless behavior.

Shoreline Exclusion Zones
Enforce a Motorized Watercraft Exclusion Zone 100 metres off the local shoreline to protect swimmers from reckless jet ski operators.

RentSafeTO Enforcement
Strengthen the RentSafeTO program to ensure apartment building owners in high-density areas like Crescent Town comply with safety and maintenance bylaws.

Mental Health First Response
Support the Toronto Community Crisis Service as a non-police alternative for mental health crises, allowing 55 Division officers to focus on core crime prevention.
