Scarborough Community Council:

1. Requested the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services to evaluate measures to improve road safety, including the installation of a traffic control signal and/or other intersection improvements to address sightlines and safety of road users at the intersection of Steeles Avenue East and Reesor Road and report back to Scarborough Community Council at its meeting on June 30, 2022.
 

2. Requested the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services to undertake best efforts to have City of Markham share the capital cost of installing traffic control signals and/or other intersection improvements at the intersection of Steeles Avenue East and Reesor Road and report back to Scarborough Community Council at it's meeting on June 30, 2022.

In response to safety concerns raised by residents, and municipal colleagues at the City of Markham, I am requesting that Transportation Services staff evaluate options to improve road safety at Steeles Avenue East and Reesor Road.

I ask that staff report their findings to the June 2022 Scarborough Community Council meeting, and share their findings with the City of Markham so that we can work collaboratively to implement the proposed safety improvements.
