Whereas
this is Emergency Preparedness Week in the City of Markham; and,
Whereas
this municipality takes the safety of its residents very seriously; and,
Whereas
the City of Markham maintains a high level of preparedness for its ability to
respond to an emergency; and,
Whereas
within the City there are major rail lines that draw significant amounts of
rail traffic travelling through densely populated areas of the municipality;
and,
Whereas
there are serious concerns being raised by municipalities across Canada with
the substantial increase in the transportation of dangerous goods, especially
crude oil and in light of the Lac Megantic tragedy in 2013;
Now therefore be it
resolved:
1) That
this Council calls on the Federal Government, the regulator of rail
transportation in Canada, to require that rail cars transporting dangerous
goods be routed outside of densely populated urban areas, such as the City of
Markham; and,
2) That
the timetable requiring safety features of those rail cars be significantly
reduced and the latest state of the art technology and best safety features be
included to ensure highest rail safety in Canada; and,
3) That
City of Markham request the Federal government to provide information on the
goods being transported through municipalities in Canada on a real time basis
in order to allow emergency preparedness staff to be able to better respond to
an accident; and
4) That
the rail operators/authorities be requested to ensure train speeds are followed
as declared on April 15, 2015; and further,
5) That
this motion be forwarded to Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, Lisa
Raitt, Federal Minister of Transport, Steven Del Duca,
