To delete Recommendation BCS005-2022 and replace with the following:
Whereas the City of Brampton continues to experience injury related and fatal collisions amongst road users.
Whereas Vision Zero can be summarized in one sentence: No loss of life is acceptable.
Whereas in June 2019 the City of Brampton Council adopted the Vision Zero framework as the foundation to ensuring that our roads are safe for all that use them through a data-driven effort by prioritizing emphasis areas, coordinating with partners and stakeholders to improve road safety and implementing new or expanded safety countermeasures.
Whereas in September 2020 the City of Brampton Council implemented the use of Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras to decrease speeding in all community safety zones.
Whereas on December 10, 2020 the City of Brampton Community Safety Advisory Committee established a Road Safety Advisory Sub-Committee to address traffic related fatalities and speeding.
Whereas despite efforts to reduce speeding and traffic related collisions the Region of Peel is still reporting a substantial number of traffic related collisions on our Brampton roads.
Whereas the City of Mississauga currently has a Council appointed committee to address road safety issues and the City of Brampton does not.
Whereas a Brampton Road Safety Committee will align core goals and mission with the Vision Zero Task Force and the Regional Community Safety and Well-Being framework.
Therefore be it resolved that Council establish a Brampton Road Safety Advisory Committee, composed primarily of citizen-appointees, to begin for the new term of Council in 2022;
That the Brampton Community Safety Advisory Committee be consulted with regard to the draft Terms of Reference for the Brampton Road Safety Advisory Committee.
