Although there are very few items on Monday's Community & Operations Agenda and only one item on the Safety & Facilities Agenda, they present some very interesting issues.
Imo, there are three that may may generate good discussion, leading to these questions:
1. Will Council members support a homeowner paying for snow/ice melt cable in the sidewalk in front of their home?
2. Will the Committee members support a deeper look into speed cushions on a rural Oshawa road where 85% of the residents on the 1km stretch of road between Thornton and Simcoe just north of Hwy 407 have requested this. More consideration should be given not only to the fact that Clarington has them installed on rural roads with good success. (see picture below taken last spring) and Whitby has them on arterial roads like Robert Attersley and Garden St. (btw speed cushions have an opening for fire truck wheels)
3. Will the Committee support an investigation into implementing Automated Speed Enforcement Cameras on Oshawa local roads?
Note: I support all three.
