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.

Whereas
the proliferation of illegal signs littering municipal boulevards are a genuine
public safety concerns causing sight distance problems, especially at
intersections blocking the view of motorists and pedestrians; and,
Whereas
illegal signs are an eyesore that end up on city streets, in gutters and distract
drivers creating an issue of health and safety; and,
Whereas
illegal signs create the same negative perception of in a community as graffiti
or other forms of vandalism and, in fact, illegal signs adhered to municipal
property such as Stop signs, traffic signal poles and hydro poles constitute
vandalism; and,
Whereas illegal signage can
impact property values for property
owners, and drain taxpayer resources for their removal; and,
Whereas illegally placed
signs are contrary to character the Town of Markham wishes to portray as a
clean and sustainable community; and,
Whereas illegal signs are a
blight on the landscape; and,
Whereas the Town of Markham
wishes to encourage the effective use of signs as a means of communication;
and,
Whereas the Town of Markham
believes in enhancing the appearance of our municipal roads and boulevards;
and,
Whereas the Town of Markham
wishes to minimize clutter by limiting the size and number of signs; and,
Whereas the Town of Markham
wishes to improve pedestrian and traffic safety; and,
Whereas the Town of Markham
wishes to ensure the fair and consistent enforcement of sign regulations; and,
Whereas the Town of Markham
wishes to address issues of sign maintenance, repair, replacement and removal;
Now therefore be it resolved:
1) That Council request the
Town Clerk to report to General Committee on:
a. the feasibility of the
Town of Markham limiting the number, size and location of commercial signage on
Town boulevards;
b. prohibiting the
placement of signs on any utility pole (including light
standard, hydro-electric pole, traffic signal) or municipal stop sign or other
directional sign
c. appropriate fees for the
removal of signs placed in contravention of Town bylaws;
d. recommendations to the York Region’s Court
Prosecution Office with regard to set fines for contravention of Town sign bylaws;
e. the feasibility of the
Town of Markham recovering the fees for removal of illegal signs through an
addition to the non-residential property tax;
f. recovering fees or
fines against parties non-resident in the Town of Markham; and,
2) Council
reaffirm its commitment to the beautification of its streetscape and
accordingly that, in principle, commercial signage on municipal boulevards is
inconsistent with Markham’s Greenprint and to be discouraged.

Whereas the Metrolinx Regional Transportation Plan
2009 (“The Big Move 2020”) identifies full day, 2-way service on the
Stouffville line from Mount Joy to Toronto’s Union Station as part of the 15
year plan for Regional Rapid Transit; and,
Whereas GO Transit will be undertaking an
Environmental Assessment (EA) study on the Stouffville line for future
infrastructure improvements in Markham and Toronto to provide for the planned
full day, 2-way service, to be operational between Markham Center and Toronto’s
Union Station by 2014; and,
Whereas Metrolinx in 2013 is reviewing and updating
its Regional Big Move 2020 Transportation Plan. This Stouffville Go Line should
be considered for electrification in its entirety; and,
Whereas during the environmental assessment process
for the Stouffville rail corridor, opportunities exist for alternative
technologies to be considered. These
alternative technologies include MagLev which is currently used in major
centers and is extremely quiet, affordable, efficient and fast; and,
Whereas smaller, more cost effective diesel-electric
multiple unit (DEMU), trains that are used throughout Europe, in use today in
Ottawa on their O-Train line, and is
currently being implemented between Toronto Pearson Airport and Union Station;
and,
Whereas consideration should be given to go directly
to Electric Train Technology for the Stouffville GO Line; and,
Whereas the electric technology will enable more
frequent, lower cost service, with a greater number of new stations stops along the route and improve travel time to
our transit riders; and,
Whereas the electric technology trains could carry a
similar or larger number of transit rides than subway service; and,
Whereas the Markham East Toronto Rail Orient-Express
(METRO-E) concept would enable more frequent headways, and more frequent
transit stops along this approved north-south rapid transit corridor between
Stouffville and Union Station; and
Whereas this north-south corridor will also
interconnect with a number of existing and planned east-west rapid transit
corridors, including VIVA bus rapid transit, 407 Rail Transitway, Steeles
BRT/LRT. Finch BRT/LRT, Sheppard Subway, Eglinton-Crosstown LRT, Bloor-Danforth
Subway, and Lakeshore East GO; and,
Whereas the METRO-E would stimulate transit
dependant development (TDD) and redevelopment along this transit corridor; and,
Whereas climate change, global warming, end of oil
and gridlock are issues facing all major cities, it is important that all
station communities are TDD designed systems to be net zero in energy, waste and emissions and produce
the best public realm and quality of life for our citizens; and,
Whereas METRO-E would reduce automobile dependence,
energy consumption and would promote environmental, social and economic
sustainability initiatives; and,
Whereas
Metrolinx has allocated their budget for transit projects for the next five
years and revenues from development charges, TIFs, Section 37, HST, taxes, Gas
Taxes increased user fees, improve operating performance are viable and can be
leveraged within a Public Private
Partnership (P3) model;
Now therefore be it resolved:
1) That
a steering committee co-chaired by Markham Regional Councillor Jim Jones and
member of Toronto Council selected by City of Toronto Council be created. The committee will determine its membership
which will include members of Markham, Toronto Council and other municipalities
and levels of Government.. This
committee will focus on station and rail strategy, TDD, community planning,
Government Relationships and Public Private Partnerships; and,
2) That the Steering Committee seek
advice from the participating government
bodies, agencies and other sources as
determined by the committee with respect to terms of reference and funding requirements for comprehensive
studies and reports that would be required to pursue the METRO-E concept; and,
3) That a working group reporting to the
steering committee be formed of
representatives from Metrolinx, the City of Toronto, the Region of York, and
the Town of Markham to review the need and justification of the METRO-E
concept, and the associated transportation, land use planning and economic
development benefits; and,
4) That Metrolinx and other government
agencies and stakeholders at the Federal, Provincial, Regional and Municipal
level be requested to consider the merit and implications of the METRO-E
concept and DEMU/Electric/Maglev technology on the Stouffville rail line in the
context of the current review and update of the Metrolinx Regional
Transportation Plan and Metrolinx Environment Assessment Study for the GO’s
Stouffville Line; and further,
5) That copies of this resolution be
forwarded to the Premier of Ontario, the Federal Ministers of Finance,
Transportation, Infrastructure and the Provincial Ministers of Finance, Transportation and Infrastructure Ontario, East Toronto and Markham area MPP’s, the City
of Toronto, the Mayor and Council members
of the City Toronto, the Toronto Transit Commission, Metrolinx,
York Region and York Rapid Transit Corporation.

Whereas prior to 1971 the
Governance model for the Municipality of the County of York was a Council of
elected Mayors and or Reeves and deputy Mayors or Reeves from the constituent
Municipalities, and
Whereas the head of Council
was a Warden along with a Deputy Warden appointed by council from the
membership of the York County Council, and
Whereas in 1971 the Province
of Ontario dissolved the former County of York and through the Region of York
Act, created the Region of York, and
Whereas the Province also
through boundary adjustment and amalgamation created the nine municipalities
that together now make up the Region of York, and
Whereas the province of
Ontario appointed the first Chairman of the Region of York, and
Whereas the responsibilities
of the Region of York at that time were limited in scope to little more than
that of the previous County Government, and
Whereas the Region of York
act as all other Regions created at that time were to grow and provide
additional services previously provided by the Provincial Government, and
Whereas the practice of an
appointed Chairman has continued for over Fourty Years, even though the
population of the Region has increased from less than 250,000 residents in 1971
to in excess of 1,050,000 residents in 2011, and
Whereas the population of
the Region of York is in excess of the population of Newfoundland and Labrador,
(510,000), Prince Edward Island (146,000), Nova Scotia (946,000), New Brunswick
(756,000) and about even with Saskatchewan (1,057,900) and if going to overtake
the population of the Province of Manitoba within the present planning horizon.
These populations are from the 2011 Stats Canada Census, and
Whereas the Chairman of the
region of York is one of the most powerful politicians in the Province, but is
only accountable to a simple majority of the membership of the York Region
Council, and
Whereas to be appointed
Chairman of the Region of York Council requires 11 votes or approximately
0.0000109934 percent of the population or approximately 0.0000275 percent of
the eligible voters in the Region, and
Whereas the Prime Minister,
all Federal Ministers, Premiers and all Provincial Ministers must hold an
elected position in a riding prior to being eligible to vote on any issues, and
Whereas the present process
of Council appointing their own chair deprives the residents from hearing what
the platform and agenda of the individuals running for the most senior position
in the Region of York is to be, and
Whereas that agenda affects
all of our lives whether it be Policing, Regional Planning, Roads, Public
Housing, Public Transportation, Water and Sewer Services, Emergency Services
and all other Regional Services provided, and
Whereas the role of Chairman
has grown to the point that appointing from within the elected Council will not
get the Regional Platform or agenda out to the residents as a whole,
Now therefore be it resolved:
1) That the Province of
Ontario amend the Region of York Act to require that the Chairman of the Region
of York be an elected position to be elected by all eligible voters in York
Region beginning in the 2014 Municipal Elections, and
2) That this motion be
sent to the Honourable Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario, the Honourable
Kathleen Wynne Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Honourable Tim
Hudak leader of the Opposition, Andrea
Horwath Leader of the NDP, and all MPPs in York Region
Council consented to add Communication No. 12-2012.

- Explanatory note from the Town Solicitor:
"This
Ontario Municipal Board decision implements the settlement of an appeal by
Stringbridge Investments Ltd. with respect to a zoning amendment requested to
permit a mixed use development of four towers, between 13 and 16 stories,
comprising commercial and retail uses at grade, a 190 room hotel and up to 500
residential condominium units, with structured parking. The development is located on the south side
of Highway 7, at South Town Centre Boulevard.
No parties appeared in opposition to the approval of the zoning
amendment, although a number of residents attended the hearing and expressed
some concerns with adequacy of notice and traffic impacts.
The
zoning by-law amendment redefines “Hotel” and imposes two H (Holding) zones to
ensure that no residential uses are permitted unless the hotel is at a certain,
specified stage of construction confirmed by the Chief Building Official and
unless the residential units are integrated into the hotel development. In addition, the by-law requires that
purchasers of residential units must have notice of the provisions of the
by-law that prohibit occupancy without hotel construction."
