Description
Versailles Ave has been deemed a "slow street" and hence has barriers put in place at the road crossings. However, many delivery and local vehicles still use the road and recently as I was riding my bike down Versailles, a delivery truck swerved wide to get around the barrier and didn't notice me there. It would have been a head-on collision, but was narrowly avoided. It is only a matter of time before serious injuries will happen. The barriers need to be removed so as to remove this danger.
