Jones: CARRIED REPORTS OF COMMITTEES Report# 59-Public Safety Committee ... Special Meeting The Committee respectfully submits the following: A meeting of the Public Safety Committee was held on Thursday, May 16, 1985 at 7:00 p.m. in Committee Room 1 in the Administrative Building. Present Were: Councillors Tim Jones and Martin Paivio, York Regional Police Department representative Lowell McClenny, Residents John Fox, Brenda Monk, David Neufeld, Wendy Orowski, John Martin, Christine LeRoij, Richard Harrison and Charles France. The Chairman briefly reviewed the history of this situation and why those people who were in attendance were invited. The group agreed to a meeting objective "to arrive at agreeable short and long range recommendations towards addressing the traffic safety concerns expressed recently in Aurora". All those present took an active role in presenting recommendations towards determining a final ,._, '-~~< \. .. --.' COUNCIL MEETING .•. MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1985 -10 - REPORTS OF COMMITTEES Report# 59-Public Safety Committee •.. Special Meeting (continued) recommendation for Council's consideration. The Chairman welcomed Inspector McClenny to the meeting and expressed the group's appreciation to the York Regional Police Department for being involved. 1. York Regional Police Department -Inspector L. McClenny Inspector McClenny explained that he was representing Inspector Vance of our (Aurora) division to whom any traffic problems in the future should be directed to (727-3114-extension 246). He presented statistics which showed that in the past 10 months 83 traffic violations had been laid on Orchard Heights with approximately 90% being applied to local residents. This is as a result of a Town received camp 1 ai nt for radar, which was enforced over 37 1/2 hours. (It was further noted 49 charges have been laid since January 1st, 1985). He further explained that the Municipality is responsible through By-Law for setting the traffic regulations, the Police Department role is to enforce those By-laws. Further in the meeting, the Inspector indicated that given the other responsibilities of the Police Department, most radar is as a result of a complaint. This would indicate that the Town should continually request radar at problem locations to ensure enforcement. 2. York Region Engineering The Chairman reported that York Region Engineering was unable to send a representative to the meeting. In conversation with B. Hodgson and J. Ireland of this Department, the Chairman took the liberty to express his interpretation of their remarks. Regional staff reiterated their belief in the warrants process and that stop signs and speed signs do not control speed as it is assumed they will. These type of controls are only effective when they are enforced. (The Chairman added that Aurora has been trying to increase our patrol areas for three (3} years now but to no avail through the York Region Police Board of Commissioners) It was indicated that the attitude prevai 1 s that: people do not want to hear what the engineers say, Councils primarily do what the people want anyway, the Region will abide by what the Municipality desires. It was further indicated that on the one hand with the improvements to Bathurst, Bayview and the 404, traffic going through Aurora and using various Aurora streets as bypasses should ease. On the other hand, growth and development in Aurora, and particularly in the areas in question, will increase. As mentioned previously, the majority of traffic violators were local, thus this indicates that with further development, traffic is likely to increase. It was recommended that a Master Plan on how to accomodate the growing transportation needs in Town be done. This would be best accomplished by a traffic consulting firm and our Planning Department. The Chairman indicated his disappointment with the Region in not being able to provide a representative from the Traffic Section, if only to assist in discussing the various alternatives in each situation for the benefit of the group. Regardless of the Region's preferences, the decision will still remain a political one. ·~ .. ··-' ,--~··-·-" COUNCIL MEETING ... MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1985 -11 - REPORTS OF COMMITTEES Report# 59-Public Safety Committee .•. Special Meeting (continued) 3. Recommendations The group examined each of the more recent traffic concern areas working from base maps prepared during the Public Safety Meeting of Tuesday, May 7, 1985. These maps contained the optimum recommendations suggested by residents. The majority of recommendations put forward are done so with the following in mind: (a) The controls recommended will hopefully be assigned in such a manner that they will enforce themselves. Enforcement is the key to all such situations. Inspector McClenny observed that this appeared to be the case. (b) These controls will also help the police to provide enforcement. (c) The three (3) areas in question all have one thing in common, several children needing to cross them to get to local schools. (d) The three (3) areas are prone to bypassing Town busy areas as well as being collectors. (e) Further Town growth and development is occurring in the areas of these streets which will only increase the volume of traffic using them. (f) Given the appearance of a regional attitude that infers "it doesn't matter what we say anyway" and 1 ack of substanci al proof to contradict the recommendations that have been made, the Committee has taken a co-operative position with the requests of the residents and has worked towards meeting their wishes. An evaluation should be done in all three (3) areas after one (1) year to measure the effect that these controls have had and to also compare to the projections that the Ontario Traffic Conference and traffic staff have that stop signs and speed 1 imits do not contro 1 speed. (i) Area One -Orchard Heights Boulevard -See Map A It is recommended that the following controls be put in place to assist in controlling the traffic speed and driver sensitivity to the children in this area, especially in the area of Devins Drive Public School. The members of the meeting also took into account the straight away nature and width of this particular road. (a) Stop Sign Installations: Four-way Stop: Banff Drive and Devins Drive Pineneedle Drive and Orchard Heights Boulevard Crawford Rose Drive/Meadowood Drive and Orchard Heights Boulevard Three-way Stop: Banff Drive and Orchard Heights Boulevard Laurentide Drive/St. Andrews Court (staggered) and Orchard Heights Boulevard Hill Drive and Devins Drive '---~· ·....,._.~,, "~-' COUNCIL MEETING ... MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1985 -12 - REPORTS OF COMMITTEES Report# 59-Public Safety Committee •.. Special Meeting (continued) 3. Recommendations (continued) (b) Radar Strictly Enforced: -one sign at Bathurst Street entrance. (c) Children Playing Signs: -·one sign west of Valley Crescent/south side. -one sign east of St. Andrews Court/north side. (d) Senior Citizen Residence Signs: -one sign west of residence/south side. -one sign east of residence/north side. (e) School Crossing: -painted on road at Banff and Orchard Heights. (f) School Crossing Guard: -at Banff crossing during school season. (g) School Crossing Signs: -one sign west of east Hill Drive intersection/north side. -one sign east of west Hill Drive intersection/south side. (h) No Stopping Signage: -in open area of Devins Drive School fronting Devins Drive. (i) No Parking Signage: -for full length of Orchard Heights/south side. (j) Solid Yellow/No Passing Line: -for full length of Orchard Heights. (k} Speed Limit posted at 40k: -for full length of Orchard Heights. (1) Bus Pick-up -Seniors' Residence: It is recommended that the potential for a pick-up at the residence be investigated in order to facilitate seniors access to the bus rather than having to cross the street with no controls. With the knowledge that the Police cannot continually sit on Orchard Heights to enforce the traffic speed, it was felt by everyone in the meeting that these controls would in the most part regulate this situation on their own with periodic enforcement. It is further recommended that this situation be evaluated in one (1} year to determine the effect that these controls have had. ·~--~-- COUNCIL MEETING •.• MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1985 -13 - REPORTS OF COMMITTEES Report# 59-Public Safety Committee •.• Special Meeting (continued) 3. Recommendations (continued) {ii) Area Two -Aurora Heights Drive -See Map B Given the curving nature of Aurora Heights Drive, the members of the meeting looked at the various alternatives very carefully. It is recommended that: (a) Stop Sign Installations: Three-way stop: -be located at Kemano and Aurora Heights. -be located at Tecumseh and Aurora Heights.

Recommendations (continued} (iii) Area Three -Murray Drive -See Map C (continued} It is recommended that: (a) Stop Sign Installations: Three-way Stop: -to be installed at Golf Links Drive. -to be i nsta 11 ed at Seaton Drive. It should be noted that in the area of Seaton Drive, the road opens up going north and gives the appearance of permissive acceleration. Conversely, it narrows going south and controls leading into this area will induce the driver to maintain 40k. (b) Radar Strictly Enforced Signs should be posted at the south-west corner of Kennedy and Murray and just west of Wiles Court on the north side. It is further recommended that this situation be evaluated after one (1) year to determine the effects these controls have had. 4. Master Plan It is finally recommended that the Town engage a traffic consulting firm to work with our Planning Department to address both existing safety concerns as well as potential safety concerns as a result of new development. The scope of the study should cover the entire Town, and in addition to new development, it should also include the projected effects of new major road bypasses and existing areas of concern especially stemming from Yonge Street and including communications received by Council (over the past three (3} years -Mark/Spruce, Richardson, Reuben, Temperance, Kennedy, etc.). The study should also examine the creation, based on our own needs and make-up, of an Aurora guideline for speed and traffic control installation criteria. Included in the creation of our own criteria should be the evaluation results based on a comparison of problems encountered today on Orchard Heights, Aurora Heights and Murray Drive, to problems encountered in one (1) year's time on the same streets with the various controls that are approved. This will also hopefully give us a clearer idea on the merits of the York Region warrants to politically imposed traffic controls. Wendy Orowski, also representing C.A.R.E. indicated that this organization would like to be involved and have input to the Master Plan for Traffic Safety. 5. Posting of "Radar Strictly Enforced" Signs at Town Entrances It is recommended that "Radar Strictly Enforced" signs be posted at the four entrances to the Town-Yonge Street/north and south and Wellington Street/east and west.

"We have been most gratified in the past to receive from all the towns and townships of York Region, souvenirs and momentos such as pins, flags, posters, decals, pamphlets, etc. Any donation you may wish to give would help to provide a more varied and memorable programme for the students.

Present were: Councillors Earl Stewart, Tim Jones and Richard Barker. 1. Review of April 23rd, 1985 Meeting (a) Property Maintenance Standards By-Law A report was received by the Chairman from By-Laws Officer John Insley which indicated that all of the property owners on the list submitted to him on April 10, 1985 had been contacted in regard to why their properties were violating the by-law. Some had responded while others did not and further action will have to be taken. The Committee would ask Council to determine if the Property Maintenance Standards Committee is still in existence and if not to reinstate it as soon as possible. (b) Gravity Sewer Line to St. John's Sideroad The Clerk-Administrator reported that he has sent letters to all the property owners involved and has received favourable responses from most of them with the exception of Bonphydarian Investments.

(c) Mary Street Extension -Park # 3 Construction of the services is underway and the Engineers report that C.D.C. Construction are doing very satisfactory work and feel confident the road and services will be 90% completed by August 31, 1985. (d) Designation of Future Industrial Lands The Chairman reported that in a telephone conversation with the Regional Engineer Mr. Bob Hodgson, he was advised that an overall study of the industrial sewage allotment for the Region was 90% complete and a final report would hopefully be ready by June 15, 1985 at which time Mr. Hodgson would report on any increase in sewage allotment that might be designated to Aurora. Mr. Frank Dipede of Connie Realty Limited owns a total of 198.31 acres west of Bayview Avenue of which 109 could be usable for industry and would like to receive an industrial zoning on his properties and as such would be a major contributor to the cost of the gravity sewer line to St. John's Sideroad, the Committee would hope that serious consideration would be given by Council to this additional zoning if sufficient sewage allocation becomes available. (e) Lakeview Estates Sales Office Some delay on the moving of this building due to survey information being made available. This information has been given to Lakeview and they advised that the supporting piers will be installed and the building installed very shortly. 2. New Business (a) Informational Brochure (b) A copy of an informational brochure used by City of Burlington which folded up to a pocket size of 4" X 8 1/2" was shown to the Committee.

As the Committee's total budget for advertising for 1985 is only $5,500.00, the Committee decided not to participate in this proposal because of the cost benefits derived from this type of advertising. Portable Modular Display System The Committee discussed the value of having a portable display unit that could be used for Trade Shows and Lobby displays to promote Aurora. The Committee is of the opinion that this type of portable display , would also be useful for other departments in the Town such as the <. (d) Planning Department to display more effectively the various plans and proposals at public meetings. At Council meetings, it could be used by developers who have items to display. The Leisure Services would also find many uses for such a display unit should one be available. For this reason the Committee would ask Council to direct staff to survey the various departments to find out if such a unit would be of interest and whether they ·would contribute to the overall cost and for the type of unit they would recommend.

Present Were: Councillor E. Buck, Councillor J. West (part), Councillor L. Ostick (part), Mr. J. Thompson, Mr. Bruce Spragge (part). Regrets From:, Councillor R. Barker (working), Dr. L. Oliver. Absent: Mr. D. Bagshaw, Mr. G. McKenzie. 1. Temperance Street Parking Lot 2. In accordance with direction from Council the tender document for the Temperance Street Parking Lot was further reviewed by Henry Borgdorff of Reid & Associates. He advised that the tender bid was within reasonable limits and he could suggest no better alternative to achieve the Town's objectives. There is a possibility of a saving of $8,000 from a field change in the specified depth of gravel which could prove not to be essential. If this found possible, the Committee would recommend the change be carried out. Because of the higher than originally estimated cost of the project, the matter will again be on the agenda of the public meeting on June 26th. The Committee would also like to point out to Council that although the cost of the project totals in access of $200,000 at least $40,000 of the works are for replacement and installation of underground services which are essentially municipal works and should not be considered part of the programme for downtown renewal. Browning Property The Committee discussed the Browning Property at considerable length. To make the best possible use of the property which Council has acquired, it is considered essential that before any physical works are undertaken on the site full consideration be given to existing and future use of all properties within the square. The Committee would therefore recommend that adequate funding be provided to prepare a plan and that the planner be directed to prepare Terms of Reference and an estimate of the cost of obtaining professional services to achieve the overall objective of maximizing efficiency of properties in that block. ,,~•~o, .~"''~' COUNCIL MEETING ...
