    1. That Markham Council endorse the following motion of support for the Canadian Urban Library Council Accessing Digital Publications Government Relations Campaign:

    Whereas, the City of Markham recognizes the important role that libraries play in our community. Libraries and the early literacy programs that they run are integral to developing proficient readers and ensuring that children succeed in school. More and more, digital literacy programs run by libraries also help ensure that citizens can contribute to our digital world. Additionally, vulnerable demographic groups, including seniors, low income families, youth, and new Canadians rely on access to libraries as an important tool for their participation in the community – from education to searching for jobs to consuming Canadian cultural materials, and,

    Whereas, libraries in our community recognize that our users increasingly seek to access digital publications offered by multinational publishers, and that access to those publications is too often curtailed by prohibitively high licensing fees or else entirely denied to Canadian libraries, and,

    Whereas, libraries must be in a position to offer digital publications to their users as part of their service offering to our community, particularly given the contemporary rapid pace of digitization of educational and cultural materials.

    Now, therefore be it resolved that the City of Markham do hereby:

    1. Indicate our support for the Canadian Urban Libraries Council in its efforts to increase access to digital publications for library users in Markham and across Canada;
    2. Call on the Federal government to investigate the barriers faced by libraries in acquiring digital publications and the problems that poses for vulnerable demographic groups in Canada; and further,
    3. Ask the Federal government to develop a solution that increases access to digital publications across Canada and assists libraries in meeting the cost requirements to acquire digital publications.

    Whereas the Provincial Government is responsible for building and maintaining barriers between residential properties and the 400 series Highways; and,

    Whereas in previous years, municipalities and developers installed back lot fencing on private property which would preclude maintenance and replacement costs for the municipality and the province; and,

    Whereas changes are now being made to install such fencing and barriers on public property, thus acknowledging municipal and provincial maintenance responsibilities in the future when required; and,

    Whereas the lands north of the 407ETR and east of Markham Road have a residential sub-division that backs onto the 407ETR; and,

    Whereas the housing development and the fence predated the highway, although they were planned with the coming of the highway in mind; and,

    Whereas the fence is approximately 20 years old, ranging in height from 12 – 14 feet and is deteriorating badly.

    Whereas the 407ETR has received complaints from various homeowners since 2010-2011; and

    Whereas the 407ETR and the Province has failed to accept responsibility for fence maintenance for  the residents that reside on Rougehaven Way and Schouten Crescent, which back on to the 407ETR; and,

    Whereas the 407ETR have recently installed a chain link fence on the 407ETR property which is not satisfactory for safety, noise and pollution; and,

    Whereas the Province is now replacing similar walls and fences along sections of the 401 at Keele, in Durham and at the intersection where Highway 412 meets the 401 Highway, all on public property; and,

    Whereas the 407ETR continues to increase in usage and the residents that live behind, should be protected from noise, pollution, safety, and from having to maintain such a major sound barrier fence,

    Now therefore be it resolved:

    That the Province be requested to regrade the entire area between the resident’s property line and the 407 ETR at their cost,

    That the Province builds a new fence or wall similar to the others along the 401 Highway on public lands and not private property,

    That the Province have an agreement with the 407ETR to ensure that this area is maintained to ensure no further maintenance issues in the future for the residents.

    That a copy of this motion to be sent to the Honourable Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, Minister of Transportation Caroline Mulroney and Paul Calandra  local MPP for their consideration.
