On the agenda

As the city filed it

Traffic Management around large infrastructure projects is always a challenge. The earlier the planning begins the better the outcomes for the residents. Additionally, many in the community have asked for the City to take an active role in the traffic management to ensure that the interests of the local community are preserved. While Metrolinx will be responsible for developing the plan, the City should take an active role in proscribing what the community expects and how Metrolinx needs to be handling the project.

While traffic is a primary concern there are additional concerns around trees and other construction impacts. Some of this work is underway for the south section, but I am asking for your support to extend this kind of pre-emptive work to the North Section as well.
