Um, crazy trucks ahead?

Run out of town

Tajo Shoes to close

A medley of photos from across South Bayview has yielded the head-scratching sign on Eglinton Ave. at Laird Drive. The truck is apparently bursting into traffic with stuff flying off the back. You know, Crazy Trucks Ahead. Then, Tajo Shoes, the rather anonymous little footwear emporium at 1723 Bayview will close near the end of July. We wish them well. And finally, One of the last On-the-Run gas bars is at Bayview and Broadway Avenue. On-the-Run is a long-standing business name in Ontario but, like Mac’s, will soon fall to the will of Montreal corner-store mammoth Couche Tard and become Circle K. How do you say tone-deaf in French?

A woman has been badly hurt in a two-car crash at Bayview Ave and Soudan/Parkhurst Sunday afternoon. The victim, about 50, was unconscious as she was taken to Sunnybrook Medical Sciences Centre. The intersection is the subject of long-time concern and is especially dangerous because of the construction at Eglinton. There is also speculation about the nature of a crosswalk beside an intersection. A recurring danger is the inability of westbound drivers crossing over Bayview seeing southbound vehicles if the crosswalk is being used or a vehicle turning left onto Parkhurst is blocking line of sight. Last year the South Leaside Traffic Committee recommended certain turn prohibitions.  Residents are said to dislike the solution of stop lights. Many who live there however say the corner continues to remain dangerous. New turn prohibitions at Bayview and Soudan/Parkhurst
