  • Whereas road safety is an important issue that affects all road users; and,

    Whereas traffic volumes continue to increase on all roads under different jurisdictions; and,

    Whereas public transit, walking and cycling are other modes of transportation that are encouraged in Markham to reduce the reliance on single occupancy vehicles; and,

    Whereas vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, seniors, youths, etc.) are increasing in number on all roads; and,

    Whereas Markham has started working on a road network safety audit; and,

    Whereas Markham is implementing traffic speed mitigation initiatives and various road safety education programs; and,

    Whereas a consolidated road safety awareness and promotion program will improve the effectiveness of a public education and change road user behaviour; and,

    Now therefore be it resolved:

    1. That Engineering and Corporate Communication staff are requested to develop a road safety education program and branding, and to involve other jurisdictions and agencies as necessary, and to report back to the Development Services Committee in early 2020.

     

  • As per Section 2 of the Council Procedural By-Law, "New/Other Business would generally apply to an item that is to be added to the Agenda due to an urgent statutory time requirement, or an emergency, or time sensitivity".
