I am so excited for this Special Council Meeting, it has been a long time coming and we do not do this enough in my opinion. The list of items to discuss with Council keeps growing and there are very few mechanisms to discuss them as email is not allowed and is not transparent. A few times a year a Roundtable meeting is held, Tuesday we are discussing infrastructure. The meeting will be live streamed on You Tube. If you are unable to catch it live, tune in later or watch my website for an update.
There is something for everyone in this list!
This meeting is being held for the purpose of Council having a roundtable discussion on various Infrastructure
matters in the Town of Essex. As part of this meeting, it is expected that Council will move by resolution into a
Committee of the Whole format which is the entire membership of Council but now sitting as a Committee in
a less formal format without strict adherence to the usual procedural rules that govern Council meetings.
While sitting as a Committee of the Whole no formal actions can be taken as the Committee can only make
recommendations that would still need to be introduced, considered and adopted as part of a formal Council
meeting.
Topics to be discussed are as follows:
Highway Expansion of Services
Sidewalk or path to the area by Canadian Tire and Tim Horton’s on Maidstone Avenue West
Upgrade to Erie/King Intersections
Traffic Flow Report assuming #3 will be closed for access at the end of Victoria
Sidewalks completed Bell/Thomas/Brock area in line with the latest Accessibilty Committee report
Highway 3 expansion
New task assessment to road and infrastructure projects- creating a priority list
Larger public parking signs
Shoreline Protection of Public Property
Upgrade/Rebuild Maidstone/Talbot Intersection
Victoria, Irwin Avenue, Milne, Brien West ( Talbot to Gosfield) roadwork needs to be addressed
Concerns with lighting in Maidstone and no sidewalks in the Canadian Tire area
Community Safety Zones
