Email Notice from Councillor Valerie Burke Subject:
Thank you, Markham Motions Passed Unanimously! Thanks to all of you for your support in attending, speaking and or writing letters to Council regarding the proposed widening of Bayview, Leslie Street and the other regional roads. The Council Chamber was filled to capacity, and nearly all the speakers spoke out on behalf of residents and supported our motion to ask the region to examine all alternatives for these roadways. Our voices were heard! Council voted unanimously to ask the Region to examine other options. A strong message was sent. Alternatives to road widenings must be examined. Thank you again for all of your help in getting this message to Council loud and clear. We are hopeful that our Regional representatives, Mayor Scarpitti, Deputy Mayor Health, Councillor Wong, Jones and Landon will work on our behalf to ensure the Region moves forward with our recommendations. The Next Steps The Town’s motions will be presented to Regional Council, a strong presence would be helpful when council receives the motions. We will keep you posted as to the upcoming date. Your attendance will be imperative, and we hope you will be able to attend. Thank you again for all of your thoughtful comments and support.
