The woman was heading south across Queen Street at Sackville Street Thursday evening when a 70-year-old man behind the wheel of a Cadillac sedan struck her while heading westbound on Queen, according to Toronto police. The woman's death has prompted the community to call for better road safety measures in the neighbourhood, and the local councillor has responded by pledging to get a traffic light installed at the intersection where the woman was killed."If city is taking the special care for that kind of that incident and make the intersection more secure, then we are not losing our brothers and sisters," Uddin said.
"Speed kills ... but it's also because don't see the signage," Ali said. "We have to do a better job with signage around the Queen Street and Sackville intersection, but also, I think, just other intersections across the neighborhood, right? Because this could happen in another part of the neighborhood as well."
