Congratulations to Seven Oaks resident Ken Pearson for a well organized Terry Fox Run. Every year Ken volunteers his time as the event planner for the Scarborough run. This year’s event was well attended.
Safety First: this summer two new safety measures have been installed to serve the community. Signalized intersection lights have been installed at Tams Road and Morningside Avenue, and a new left turn signal has been added to the signalized lights at Morningside Avenue and Military Trail for the AM & PM rush- hours. These two measures were possible with the community input, and participation.
Safety Walks: I conducted a community safety walk with the community of Lakeview which sits just west of Morningside Avenue and north of Military Trail, on Monday September 28 @ 8 p.m. where we walked through the community to view any safety issues. Thank you too all you came out.
Local Road Resurfacing: will soon begin in your community. A portion of Military Trail from Ellesmere (Highland Creek) to Highcastle will begin in Sept 2009 to be completed by November 2009. Neilson Road is also scheduled for a transmission water main expansion & water main rehabilitation which was to begin this summer.
Pathway to Morningside: Staff from the Transportation infrastructure division will be in attendance for the first part of the Safety Walk Audit on September 28 to brief the community on the walkway to be built linking Cindy Nicholas Drive to Morningside Avenue. I have continued to work on this project with City and MTO Staff. Our current plans forecast the pathway to be built in Spring 2010. The planning has involved several City divisions, the TTC and the Provincial Ministry of Transportation.
