This petition is being brought to the attention of the Town of Aurora Council and the Town of Aurora\'s Traffic Safety Advisory Board (TSAB) to request that transport truck traffic be banned along Vandorf Sideroad. Now that the Town of Aurora has allowed residential communities along Vandorf and last summer it created a walkway and bicycle path along Vandorf, it is the Town\'s responsibility to ensure safety, convenience, quiet enjoyment and property value protection to the residents of these communities. The Vandorf Sideroad Five Communities Rate Payers Association would like transport truck traffic to be banned along Vandorf Sideroad

I attended the meeting and feel strongly that the suggestions presented regarding the trucks on Vandorf Side Road are too numerous, dangerous, noisy and have no reason to use that road, except for a short cut. Industrial Parkway would serve these businesses very well. Also, the cars leaving VanRob could exit from their other exits to cut down traffic on Vandorf so people would feel safe crossing to get to the nature paths. Please award the residents of these communities the right to safety on the streets. It is not as if the the trucks do not have an option.
Thank you to everyone who are working so hard for this important cause.

RE: Safety Concerns on Vandorf Sideroad
Please accept this letter as my proxy with regards to the above-noted concerns. I live at 10 Acherhill Court, Aurora, Ontario and have lived at this address for over 10 years. My property is at the corner of Archerhill Court and Vandorf Sideroad which is the road that is of concern.
The main problem, as I see it, are the heavy trucks that are tearing up Vandorf Sideroad and basically destroying the road which has been under repair almost every year since I have been living here. Recently, particular attention had to be given to the Oak Ridge Trail area behind our property because the road had to be completely rebuilt. This, I am sure was at great cost, especially the reconstruction of the passage over the lower marshy area.
The road has now been completely repaired with lovely sidewalks and bicycle and jogging ways to accommodate everyone. The heavy trucks constantly using this roadway pose a safety concern to the public who enjoy this recreational pathway to the trails.
I believe that the heavy trucks should be using a different route, in the industrial area, and avoiding the Vandorf Sideroad from Industrial Road to Bayview Avenue in order to save the road from destruction again. Also, this would help significantly with the noise levels to the residences on either side of Vandorf Sideroad, from Bayview Avenue to Industrial Road, many of which have just recently been built.
Thanking you for your kind attention to the matter,
