A common concern (and often a complaint) is the traffic on King Road in King City:  the volume and the speed.  Hence I believe that a report at Council on Monday June 8 will interest many people.  At the meeting there will be a deputation by the York Region Manager of Corridor Control & Safety, Roads & Traffic Operations.  It will be an opportunity to understand the Region’s strategy for managing the traffic given the growth, the commuter traffic, the existence of schools on King Road and our desire to make King City a walkable community.  There will be an opportunity for the public to make comments.

Both Councillor Mortelliti and myself have met informally with the Manager a couple times to review what we are hearing from constituents and what we want to see; as we talked we realized that it would be valuable for the public to hear what we were learning about how the Region approaches this; at same time, YR was interested to hear what we were saying.  As indicated in the Staff Report, this meeting/event is not the end point of the effort to improve the situation; Council will likely be giving direction to Staff after hearing the deputation and hearing from the public.
