These upgrades are designed to enhance road safety, improve accessibility, and support the growing needs of the Glanbrook community.

Fighting for Ward 11: Councillor Tadeson’s Advocacy

Councillor Mark Tadeson has fought hard to secure these critical roadway and transportation upgrades for Ward 11. Over the past year, he has worked with City staff and pushed behind the scenes to ensure Ward 11 received the investments it deserves.

Mark has been clear: while growth is necessary, it must benefit our community — not burden it. His leadership ensures that infrastructure projects are not only prioritized but are carefully monitored to minimize disruptions and address concerns quickly. Thanks to Councillor Tadeson's advocacy, these major upgrades are now becoming a reality.

These upgrades are focused on making it easier — and safer — for residents to move around Ward 11, whether they are driving, walking, or using mobility devices.

2025 Binbrook Transportation Master Plan: Speed Cushions

To further enhance neighbourhood safety, speed cushions will be installed in key residential areas, including:
