Summary
A 13-year-old boy, Leandro Santos, was fatally struck by a GO train at a dangerous, partially-barred crossing in Mississauga — a site ranked among Canada’s most hazardous. As Metrolinx investigates, residents and advocates demand urgent safety upgrades, including four-quadrant gates or even closure, amid rising train traffic. Leandro’s mother, Claudia Carvalho, visits the site haunted by the sounds and lights that echo her grief, frustrated by the lack of communication from transit authorities. Experts warn without intervention, accidents will escalate. Leandro, remembered as a joyful, inventive teen who loved his motorbike, has become a symbol for a call to action — his death must not be in vain.
