Family Seeks Millions in Damages
The family of a teenager hit by a driver at a Toronto intersection is suing the Ontario government, the City of Toronto and the driver involved, seeking millions of dollars in damages. The intersection previously had an automated speed enforcement (ASE) camera, which was removed after the province passed legislation ordering municipalities to take the cameras down.
Why It Matters Beyond Toronto
Ontario's crackdown on municipal speed cameras affects cities across the province, and the lawsuit raises questions about whether removing enforcement tools increases risk for pedestrians, including in Ottawa, where speed cameras remain a contested tool in school zones and residential streets.
The case is before the courts, and further details, including a court date, have not yet been announced.
