Expect a heavy Council meeting tomorrow March 28, 2022: There are seven delegations and some very concerning motions that imo seriously need to be amended and/or completely turned around:
1. The Right-In-Access from Ritson Rd. to the Chartwell Seniors Residence Site Plan should NOT BE LEFT OUT ! To have two access points to this large and growing facility not only is very reasonable but makes it safer!
2. The residents asking for speed cameras on Oshawa's local roads are serious and are asking why Oshawa put off implementing such an effective program. The data is in...Mississauga put on its website three days ago "Speed Cameras are Working and Drivers are Slowing Down"
3. The Anaerobic Digester to be built at 1515 Thornton Rd. N. received a building permit 6 months ago - what steps is the City taking to implement trucking route restrictions and ensure the digestate materials are not dumped on rural Oshawa lands in the Oak Ridges Moraine protected area, since there are Oshawa properties in the Moraine owned by the same owner as 1515 Thornton Rd. N. Under the Moraine Act Regulation 47.1 Waste Dump Sites in the Moraine are prohibited.
4. TRAFFIC CALMING ON WOODSTREAM AVE following a motion approved at Committee March 21, 2022 to install a 4 way stop at Esterbrook and Woodstream, and designate a Community Safety Zone (CSZ) on Woodstream to Esterbrook where fines are doubled, the motion should be amended to include 40 KM from Grandview to Townline.
5. I will attempt to introduce a time sensitive motion to expedite the Region designating Raglan Rd. W a Community Safety Zone and a 4 way stop at Raglan Rd. and Thornton because when the truck load restrictions are removed and the cyclists are out in more numbers, road safety becomes an even greater concern.
6, Naming the Treasure Hill development park after the truck 'Silverado' imo should be given more consideration, especially just after Council heard Dr. Leroy Clark in February make a strong presentation for Black History Month that the City should be more diverse and inclusive when naming its park and facilities.
