8.         MOTIONS

 

Council agreed to add Motion (2).

 

(1)        COMPREHENSIVE AND CONSISTENT SPEED ENFORCEMENT (5.12.2)

 

Council agreed to amend Motion (1) to add to the circulation outlined in the last paragraph “Regional M.P.P.’s” and “other G.T.A. municipalities” and to add the following paragraph:

 

            “And that the A.M.O. be requested to include this resolution as a resolution at their 2002 conference.”

 

Moved by Councillor S. Daurio

Seconded by Councillor D. Horchik

 

Whereas speeding on Local Roads, with a speed limit of 50kph or less, presents a danger to residents;


 

And whereas such speeding conflicts with and frustrates a resident’s ‘quiet enjoyment of his property’;

 

And whereas current fines for such speeding violations are insufficient to discourage this practice;

 

And whereas a margin of 16kph, typically allowed before enforcement, is excessive for such Local Roads;

 

And whereas the enforcement of such limits is considered a low priority by enforcement authorities, and is the first to suffer the effects of budget constraints and/or growth in workload,

 

And whereas such enforcement more closely fits the role and skills of a municipal by-law enforcement officer;

 

And whereas, it is considered by residents to be the responsibility of the local municipality to resolve such community problems;

 

Be it therefore resolved:

 

That the Province of Ontario be requested:

 

to double fines for speeding on Local Roads,

 

to encourage a reduction in the margin for enforcement of speed limits on local roads to 20% of the signed limit, or 10kph if percentage is inappropriate,

 

to amend the Highway Traffic Act to give the Region of York authority to delegate responsibility for enforcement on Local Roads to a local municipality which chooses this option, for speed limits, and for stop sign and signal light violations

 

to amend the Provincial Offences Act to include speeding and stop signs in the

list of  infractions which can be enforced by By-law enforcement officers within

municipalities which have assumed this responsibility

 

And that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Region of York, to the Regional Municipality of York Police Services Board, Regional M.P.P’s., York Region municipalities, and the other G.T.A. municipalities;

 

And that A.M.O. be requested to include this resolution as a resolution at their 2002 conference.

 

CARRIED AS AMENDED
