7. MOTIONS
There were no

8. NOTICES OF MOTIONS
(1) IMPLEMENTATION OF TRUCK SIDE GUARDS AND
OTHER SAFETY MEASURES TO
IMPROVE SAFETY
FOR CYCLISTS IN THE TOWN OF
MARKHAM (5.10)
Moved by Councillor
Howard Shore
Seconded by Councillor
Don Hamilton
Whereas the recent death of a
cyclist in the City of Toronto demonstrates the tragic consequences of
cyclist/truck collisions; and,
Whereas Federal MP Olivia Chow has
introducing a private member's Bill #C-344, which has gone through First
Reading and which calls for the Government of Canada to require side under-run
guards for large trucks in order to prevent cyclists and pedestrians from being
pulled under the wheels of these vehicles and to harmonize Canadian vehicle
safety standards with European Union standards (which already require under-run
guards); and,
Whereas it has been documented
by the National Research Council of Canada (Side Guards for Trucks and
Trailers, Phase 1: Background Investigation, March 2010) that the number of
cyclist deaths dropped by 61 percent for accidents with cyclists and tucks
moving in the same direction when the truck is equipped with side guards. It is
also estimated that flush mounted side guards lead to an improved drag
co-efficient and thus reduce fuel consumption; resulting in a payback of two
years and an annual savings of 400 million litres of fuel across Canada if
implemented in Canada and a reduction of CO2 of 1.1 million tonnes
annually; and,
Whereas the Town of Markham
continues to express its commitment to provide a wide range of leisure and
healthy lifestyle opportunities for the residents of Markham, including cycling
for recreation and transportation purposes; and,
Whereas, Markham needs to review both its own actions and the
actions by other levels of government in order to ensure that Markham residents
are provided the maximum level of protection possible as they enjoy the simple
act of riding their bicycle to work, school or home;
Therefore
be it resolved:
1) That Council request the Director of Operations to report to
General Committee on:
a. the feasibility of the Town
of Markham implementing side guards on its own municipally owned large trucks,
both new vehicles and retrofits.
b. the feasibility of a truck side guard
policy whereby the Town conducts business with only or prefers business with
companies whose large trucks are equipped with side guards; and,
2) That Council request the Director of
Operations to report to General Committee on options for the introduction
within the Town of Markham of safety measures that would increase pedestrian
and cycling safety (e.g. truck side guards, convex mirror systems, additional
turn signals, audible warning systems, right turn restrictions on heavily used
cycling routes, additional cycling infrastructure); and,
3) That Council support and request that
the Federation of Canadian Municipalities also support Bill C-344 calling for
side under-run guards on large trucks; and,
4) That Council request the Director of
Operations to report to General Committee on:
a. Position of Transport
Canada regarding side guards on large trucks.
b. Response by other
municipalities in the GTA to the 1998 Toronto Regional Coroner's
recommendation.
c. Collision information involving
cyclists within the Town of Markham since 2007.
d. Results of the
Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) study on "Safe Accommodation of
Vulnerable Road Users and Large Commercial Vehicles".
e. Information on how other jurisdictions
within the GTA, Canada and internationally have addressed the issue of large
trucks and pedestrian and cyclist safety.
(This notice of motion will be considered
by Council on February 28, 2012)
