WHEREAS typically these gaps are not completed until adjacent development occurs and
therefore where development is not expected in the short term, there are no plans to
complete sidewalks.
NOW THEREFORE the Council of the City of Pickering is of the opinion that the sidewalk
network on Kingston Road, both on the north and south sides, should be completed from
the Toronto boundary to the west to the Ajax boundary to the east, thus having continuous
sidewalks on Kingston Road through the entire City of Pickering.
NOW THEREFORE Council directs staff to prepare an inventory of the sidewalk network on
Kingston Road and prepare a plan identifying gaps and deficiencies in the sidewalk
network, consider bike routes and recommending priorities to Council in time for
consideration of Council through the 2011 City budget.
NOW THEREFORE staff in preparing the plan, consult with the Region of Durham,
including Durham Transit, and the City of Pickering Accessibility Advisory Committee.
