Re: Claremont Traffic Issues

Doyle provided a brief overview of the history of the association, noting they have
updated their mandate to include safety. He stated that due to the increase in
population in the area, they are now experiencing issues with increased volume in
traffic in the area as well as the speed of traffic in both the east and west. areas. He
noted that approximately 6,000 vehicles a day use this route and a majority of these
vehicles are travelling in excess of 90 km/hr. He questioned whether the City of
Pickering Council had the authority to declare the Hamlet of Claremont a Community
Safety Zone. He also questioned whether a speed indicator could be installed in, the
Hamlet. He noted that they had presented their concerns to the Region of Durham as
well and indicated one suggestion was the installation of enhanced gateway features.
The estimated cost for this would be $12,800 and asked that this be considered in the
2012 budget. He expressed their desire to continue to work with staff to determine a
resolution to this issue. The delegations respectfully request the direction and support
of Council on resolving the traffic issues in the Hamlet.
