Good afternoon good afternoon. Lee. Not yet has not been an easy drive on the gardiner, as you know, for the past couple of weeks, because the long-term roadwork. But then add to that we do toronto transportation on sunday check the camera behind. They are still a blocking the right lane and just outside of camera view, it is garbage a pickup crude the picking up garbage in the right lane to the making their very slowly out of the downtown core. As you know, long-term roadwork continues. So it's pretty busy, both east and westbound as you try to make your way out of the downtown core. Also a busy go on the southbound 4 for dvp starting from south of sheppard, all the way down to richmond. It's been like this since just about 11 o'clock. That's because in the left lane, but outside of camera view, we're dealing with emergency roadwork, that is in the left lane. >> Some good news, though, with your travel to take you on the eastbound 4, 1, in the express at mcallen. But collision that did have the 2 left lanes blocked, cleared side camera view in scarborough, crews on scene of a collision on steeles steeles is closed between kennedy and silver star. I'll send it back to thank you. Also making news, a man in his 40's is dead after a double shooting outside a school in mississauga. Shots were fired in the parking lot of settlers. Green public school. >> On montevideo road near winston churchill boulevard and battle for road just after 11 o'clock last night, the 2 victims were taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, where one later died. Police say the victim in hospital is a male under the age of 20,

who remains in critical condition. >> The way to call came in and informed us that there was some form of gathering here at the lot sides on the east side of the school. The nature of that gathering is is unknown at this time. But there was some sort of altercation that that occurred between the 2 victims and either a suspect or suspects. The number right now were unclear. >> We were like maybe a kilometre to wait. And then we we heard like a lot of sirens like police sirens and then I thought we heard like like some sort of like pop or like some sound, but it might have been just like a car screeching. And then it was around like 10 48 11. So so that I don't know how much that will help power. >> Investigators say they don't have any suspect information yet, but several vehicles fled the area and some witnesses have come forward. Police are asking for help identifying a suspect in an alleged assault at union station. Investigators have released the security camera images of the man they're looking for.

Police services have launched a campaign to combat street racing project race, which stands for eliminate racing activity on streets everywhere kicked off at exhibition place this morning. Police from toronto, york peel halton hamilton and opp were in attendance coming together for this campaign because they say street racing has no jurisdictional boundaries. Since this time last year, we have seen a 31% increase in calls for service relating to stunt driving. >> These numbers are alarming and they are unacceptable. Last summer, the toronto police service lead project burnout, a joint forces operation in partnership with the opp. >> Peel york and durham regional police services. Project bread. That was a huge success relating in 143 arrests. 135 stunt driving and 90 criminal code dangerous driving charges. >> The reality is and street racing. And dangerous driving is illegal and it has no place on our roadways or highways or our parking lots. Recently, york regional police and other gta police services have been dealing with an increase of organized groups of drivers gathering in large numbers for car meets. And when some instances they engage in illegal activities, hazardous actions such as racing, drifting and burnouts. >> Stunt driving and street racing carry possible fines of up to $10,000 as well as a 30 day license suspension at roadside and a 14 day vehicle.

City councillors voted to allow small electric cars with a maximum speed of 50 kilometres an hour on streets. E-scooters remain banned, although it is legal to own them in toronto. City staff also admitted there was little police enforcement of e-scooter ban. >> My ward is toronto and I see e-scooters all the time everywhere we have young a teenager who's writing them. I've seen seniors old as 75 right at them. You're not going away anytime soon. And for the american fact, because of a liability reasons, we choose not make them legal. I think it's kind of ridiculous is here to stay. >> So by refusing to regulate them, we're just washing our hands and not taking any action. >> Schuette do need regulation. They have absolutely no place on the sidewalk. We need to be doing much more to keep motorized vehicles off the sidewalk. But as you go to the bike lanes, there is a safe place for them to go. And as you heard from cows can especially in the suburbs where some of the bike lanes in not yet well-used scooters can be one of the one of the uses they help to people. Why are they necessary? >> And councillor brad bradford will be presenting a motion this afternoon to make sure the city does all it can to speed up construction on the gardner. >> The experience on the gardiner right now is an absolute horror show. It's choking our economy, it's killing our small business and it is ruining quality of life for residents here in toronto. The idea that the administration thinks this type of catastrophic delays acceptable for 3 years is that

is not on. So the motion that I'm presenting today are a number of key steps to speed up the construction, minimize the impact and get torontonians moving again faster. >> The timeline for rehab work on the aging expressway is 3 years.
