Why has Vision Zero Failed? If statistical projections hold true, then sadly, 2200 pedestrians will be struck by a vehicle (other than a bike) by the end of 2019 in the City of Toronto alone. 70% of these accidents will occur between the fall & spring equinox, due to shortened daylight hours, and apparently, more […]

The office staff here at Accurate (Peel) Appraisals were recently […]
If you have been keeping up with our recent blogs regarding the traffic and safety issues on Highway 10, you are familiar with our position on this issue. As we have repeatedly stated in our blogs, Highway 10 is a dangerously common source of major vehicle collisions, and requires various safety issues to be addressed. […]
Just imagine what 20,000,000 sq. ft. of additional trucking warehouse space will mean for our Dufferin/Caledon roadways. This 20 million sq. ft. of just-in-time warehouse delivery is a good guestimate to what has already been approved – never mind what is further back in the pipeline. If the Bolton Canadian Tire plant is a […]
Kilometer long, north & south back-ups are the new welcome to Caledon Village along Highway 10. The morning & evening charm of this week day reality has infinite spin off potential. Facetiously it is the choke, swear, & grind of your auto through the village for the next 25 minutes. It is not implausible to […]
How is your King Street Commute? It seems that the pilot study of deterring vehicles from utilizing King Street as a primary commuting artery has, by all accounts, succeeded beyond almost everyone’s expectations. The recent review (see link below) states that streetcar ridership is up by 16% to more than 84,000 per day, and commuting […]
Can 40,000 daily commuters be wrong? Since 2014, when it was noted that over 600 traffic accidents had occurred within under 3 years, our team at Accurate (Peel) Appraisals has been diligently attempting to command change. The Peel region is no stranger to harmful weather, however, accidents occur on both Highway 10 and the 410 […]

Big Thanks to Erin Chan and the Caledon Traffic Department for their recent assistance in making our portion of the T.C.T and C.V.C trails a safer place to traverse!
