Residents “frightened” by groups of speeding cyclists

by  • 

Palace Place resident Robin Clay shot this photograph from his window July 27 around 8:30 p.m. after two cyclists collided on the trail. Paramedics transported one cyclist to hospital. Many Humber Bay Shores and Mimico residents charge cyclist collisions happen routinely on the trail. They are asking the city to implement safety measures, such as signs or speed humps, to slow some cyclists down.

The linked story by reporter Tamara Shepherd records the concerns of residents near the Martin Goodman Trail where bikes, pedestrians and skateboards are supposed to share. The picture above taken by a local resident shows the result when two cyclists collided head-on at high speed. It is hard to imagine how careless they had to be to let this happen. But it did.  Etobicoke Guardian
