March 3, 2018 Toronto Star: 2018 off to a deadly start for pedestrians, prompting calls for city hall to do more

A March 3, 2018 CBC article is entitled: Pedestrian deaths piling up despite Toronto’s Vision Zero pledge: 2018 off to a deadly start for pedestrians, prompting calls for city hall to do more.”
