members
of
the
public
who

as
those

online
and
on
Rogers
cable

For
those
who
are
able
to
could
you
please
rise
for
a
moment
of
personal
reflection
and
the
remain
standing

special

national
anthem.

a
Pollock
school,
as
many
of
you
will
know,
is
one
of
the
city's
older
schools
founded
in
1910
on
hopeful
Avenue
in
old
Ottawa
South.
My
neighborhood
Hopewell
school
has
a
long
history
of
strong
music
programs.
Today,
it's
not
an
actual
sort
of
school
choir
or
band
a
class
who
is
performing
for
us.
Please
join
me
in
providing
a
warm

She
instills
the
key
values
of
loyalty,
equity
and
respect
for
their
teammates
and
their
community.
The
influence
of
respect,
inclusion
and
teamwork
is
derived
from
Leanne's
work.
As
an
inclusion
coordinator
teacher
at
st.
Peter
Catholic
High
School,
which
focuses
the
inclusion
of
high
needs
students
in
every
aspect
of
school
life
at
st.
Peter's
High
School
Leanne
also
lends
her
leadership
skills.
As
head
coach
of
the
senior
boys,
rugby
team
Leanne
met
again
ma
Satan
out.
Our
leadership
will
Silva
at.
C
Has
translated
into
the
team
reaching
several
city
championships,
as
well
as
the
players
participation
in
fundraisers
and
community
charity
events,
in
addition
to
the
high
school
sports
scene,
Leanne
has
extended
her
volunteer
efforts
as
head
coach
to
the
Ottawa
Beavers
Banshees,
Rugby,
Football,
Club
and
other
preventional
regional
teams,
including
the
Carleton
University
men's
rugby
team.
Her
passion
and
commitment
for
winning
attitude,
loyalty,
equity
inclusion
and
respect
with
youth
and
athletes
extended
to
her
establishing
an
ambassador
program
that
better
connects
the
parent,
beavers
and
Banshee
rugby
clubs
with
junior
players.
C
Leanne
also
works
tirelessly
to
remove
barriers
to
rugby
for
her
players.
She
leads
fundraising
initiatives
for
financially
challenged
players
who
cannot
afford
registration
and
equipment
on
one
occasion
she
helped
a
player
who
qualified
for
the
Eastern
Ontario
championship
but
could
not
afford
the
registration
equipment
and
travelling
costs
with
her
dedicated
efforts.
She
was
also
instrumental
in
establishing
the
John
Kelly
Memorial
Award
and
a
rugby
tournament
in
commemoration
of
John
Kelly,
a

C
A
B
Maris
members
of
City
Council,
thank
you
for
welcoming
my
family
players,
colleagues
teammates
and,
most
importantly,
my
students
to
City
Hall
to
help
me
accept
this
award.
It
also
like
to
extend
our
thanks
to
counselor
Bob
Manette
for
his
support
of
the
Ottawa
Beavers
banshees
Rugby
Football
Club.
For
the
past
two
years,
I've
enjoyed
coaching
the
rugby
for
the
past
15
years
because
of
the
wonderful
people
that
I'm
surrounded
by
the
Ottawa
Beavers
banshees
Rugby
Football
Club,
is
filled
with
the
most
balanced
group
of
athletes
who
exemplify
inclusiveness,
tenacity,
fun
and
a
fighting
competitive
spirit.
B
My
st.
Peter
Knights,
they
are
the
core
of
who
remind
me
daily
how
big
an
impact
a
high
school
coach
can
truly
have
I'd
like
to
thank
every
member
of
my
rugby
family
for
allowing
me
to
be
a
part
of
their
careers
for
the
past
15
years
and
I
definitely
look
forward
to
being
involved
for
many
many
more.
Thank
you.
C
C
C
Well,
thank
you,
Leon,
it's
an
inspiring
story,
and
it's
great
that
so
many
of
these
young
people
and
members
of
the
Rugby
Club
could
be
with
us
here
today.
Our
second
and
final
presentation
is
to
commemorate
International
Women's
Day
at
ask
councilors,
Dean's,
harder,
McKenney
and
Wilkinson
to
join
me
at
the
podium.
C
C
Know
International
Women's
Day
was
originally
established
in
1977
by
the
United
Nations,
which
officially
called
in
all
countries
around
the
world
to
inspire
celebrate
and
honor
women.
This
year's
International
Women's
Day
falls
in
the
council
meeting
date,
but
that
is
not
the
only
reason
that
we
take
an
extra
opportunity
to
celebrate
and
honor
women.
There
are
a
number
of
additional
historical
reasons
for
doing
so
and
they're
still
relevant
today.
C
First
of
all,
2017
marks
the
hundred
and
fiftieth
anniversary
of
Canada
as
a
nation,
and
it
seems
important
that
we
take
a
moment
to
honor
the
role
of
Canadian
women
as
part
of
that
over
reaching
celebration.
Secondly,
many
of
you
know
that
this
year
marks
the
hundredth
anniversary
of
women
gaining
the
right
to
vote
in
federal
elections.
Third
is
a
lesser-known
historical
fact
than
in
April
1917.
The
government
of
Ontario
gave
the
right
to
vote
to
some
women,
some
women
in
provincial
elections.
C
You
see
we're
always
ahead
of
the
federal
and
provincial
governments.
It
is
with
that
historical
backdrop
that
International
Women's
Day
here
in
Ottawa
celebrates
the
economic,
political,
cultural
and
social
achievements
of
women,
while
marking
a
call
to
action
for
accelerating
gender
parity
on
International
Women's
Day.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
pay
tribute
to
inspiring
women
everywhere,
who
have
made
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
others
and
to
celebrate
the
women
who
have
land
and
continue
to
lead
the
way
forward
towards
a
more
equal
and
just
society
all
over
the
world.
C
D
C
Of
ottawa
hosted
an
International
Women's
Day
breakfast
over
350
women
from
all
across
Ottawa,
making
it
the
largest
turnout
since
I
first
started
hosting
this
breakfast
back
in
1998.
It
was
truly
an
honor
to
attend
this
breakfast
with
so
many
women
who
have
made
a
significant
difference
here
in
our
community
and
in
some
cases
in
our
country
as
well
as
internationally.
We
had
the
minister
responsible
for
the
status
of
women
and
the
Minister
of
the
Environment
and
climate
change,
who
are
our
guest
speakers
this
year,
Canada
seam
for
International,
Women's
Day
as
equality
matters.
C
We
continue
to
continue
or
we
rent.
We
need
to
continue
to
work
towards
gender
parity
and
ensure
the
contributions
and
accomplishments
of
women
are
recognized.
We
also
need
to
take
a
moment
today
and
every
day
to
think
about
what
we
can
do
as
individuals
to
support
each
other
towards
that
goal.
We're
fortunate
here
in
Ottawa
to
have
many
female
leaders
in
our
community
that
younger
generations
can
look
up
to
including
our
recipient
today
Leanne
and
we
have
four
exceptional
female
role
models
who,
in
our
city
and
our
community
through
their
work
on
city
council.
C
Although
we
are,
of
course
happy
to
have
these
four
councillors,
I
think
all
of
you
would
agree
that
we
should
be
striving
to
increase
the
number
of
women
representatives
and
all
levels
of
government,
including
at
the
City
of
Ottawa.
This
morning,
at
the
International
Women's
Day
breakfast,
we
heard
a
number
of
inspiring
speeches
that
asked
us
to
mentor
young
women
in
our
community
I
agree.
We
need
to
collectively
give
women
space
and
thrive
to
support
their
efforts
so
that
they
can
not
only
run
for
political
office,
but
they
can
achieve
success.
D
C
Woman's
Day
to
recognize
the
cotton,
wonderful
contributions
of
councillors,
harder,
Wilkinson,
Dean's
and
McKenney,
and
thank
all
of
them
for
their
tireless
work
to
move
our
city
forward.
I'd
now
like
to
present
councillors
harder,
Wilkinson,
Dean's
and
McKenney
with
a
proclamation
declaring
March
8th,
is
International
Women
day
and
I.
Think
we
have
the
coffee's
here
and
just
I
know.
C
A
Well,
good
morning,
everyone
and
happy
International,
Women's
Day
I,
just
picking
up
on
what
Mara
Watson
said,
I
had
the
pleasure
of
attending
a
dinner
and
behalf
of
daughters
of
the
vote
last
night,
and
it
was
truly
an
inspiring
event
to
see.
338
young
women
from
all
across
this
great
country
of
ours
come
together
and
be
prepared
to
take
a
place
in
the
House
of
Commons
I.
Think
it's
just
so
inspiring
to
see
that
happen
and
I
know.
This
is
the
anniversary
of
the
100th
anniversary
of
women's
right
to
vote.
A
But
hopefully
that
will
be
something
that
will
continue
in
perpetuity
because
I
think
inspiring
young
women,
and
that
way
is
just
so
important.
This
International
Women's
Day
is
particularly
significant
for
me.
This
past
year
has
been
I
think,
to
say
the
least
difficult
for
many
women.
Last
year
on
March
8th,
we
were
celebrating
a
new
kind
of
federal
government
led
by
Justin
Trudeau,
a
self-proclaimed
feminist,
who
had
just
a
few
months
earlier
appointed
15
women
to
cabinet
fully
50%.
A
When
asked
why
he
had
made
that
groundbreaking
decision,
he
famously
proclaimed,
because
it's
2015
women
who
have
strived
for
equality
were
jubilant
with
this
declaration
and
with
the
leadership
that
demonstration
demonstrated.
It
seemed
as
though
we
had
taken
a
giant
step
forward
in
our
quest
for
equality.
At
the
same
time,
our
neighbors
to
the
south,
were
it
seemed
on
the
verge
of
electing
the
first
woman
president
of
the
United
States,
an
election
that
was
certain
to
put
women's
issues
on
the
forefront
of
the
public
agenda.
A
It
was
an
empowering
time
for
women,
both
at
home
and
abroad.
It
felt
like
we
were
finally
seeing
the
progress
that
we
have
collectively
worked
so
hard
to
achieve
that
elated
feeling
quickly
dissipated
in
the
months
leading
up
to
and
after
the
November
8th
election
in
the
u.s..
The
rhetoric
in
the
media
about
women,
immigrants
and
people
with
disabilities
was
alarming,
and
many
of
us
were
concerned
that
the
attitude
would
soon
permeate
the
border
as
I'm
sure
we
can
all
agree.
The
thought
of
that
happening
here
is
unacceptable.
A
A
It
felt
I
felt
it
was
imperative
that
we
made
it
clear
that
this
behavior
and
language
would
not
be
accepted
here
in
Canada,
so
I
went
to
Washington,
as
did
councilor
McKenney,
to
participate
in
the
women's
March
and
to
stand
up
for
the
rights
and
freedoms
of
all
people
and
by
the
way
we
went
at
our
own
expense,
witnessing
that
so
many
people
are
prepared
to
stand
up
and
fight
for
our
rights
certainly
gave
me
a
lot
of
hope.
It
was
very
inspiring
thing
to
participate
in
between
Washington
and
many
other
cities.
A
The
world
over
millions
of
people
turned
out.
That's
my
count,
not
Donald's,
to
deliver
a
clear
and
unequivocal
message
that
we
will
not
let
our
rights
be
eroded.
He
restored
my
faith
and
gave
me
hope
that
the
people
ultimately
will
prevail.
If
there's
a
silver
lining,
it
might
be
that
we
were
perhaps
becoming
a
tad
complacent.
Women
in
recent
years
have
enjoyed
greater
access
to
jobs
and
pay
equity
than
in
the
past.
A
The
audible
March
was
remarkable
in
its
size
and
scale,
but
perhaps
even
more
remarkable
in
its
message
that
women
right
here
at
home,
mothers,
grandmothers,
daughters,
sisters,
wives,
public
servants,
business
leaders
and
everyone
in
between
will
join
the
fight
for
women's
rights.
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
have
had
the
lead
organizer
for
the
Ottawa
women's
March,
katherine
butler's
speak
at
my
Women's
Day
breakfast
this
morning.
Katherine
is
a
passionate
woman
and
it
was
that
passion
that
created
a
catalyst
here
in
Ottawa
and
I.
A
Think
it's
now
up
to
all
of
us
to
build
on
that
momentum.
This
year's
theme
for
Internet
and
United
Nations
theme
for
International
Women's
Day
is
be
bold.
For
a
change.
It's
clear
to
me
that
we
as
a
city
need
to
be
bold.
We
need
a
stronger
and
more
sustained
focus
on
women's
issues
locally,
and
so
mr.
mayor
I
offer
you
my
suggestion
that
we
seek
ways
in
which
we
can
address
the
concerns
that
women
in
our
city
are
feeling,
as
evidenced
by
8,000
women.
A
Turning
out
to
that
March
and
I
would
be
most
happy
to
help
in
any
way
I
can
to
lead
any
effort
in
that
regard.
So
thank
you,
mr.
mayor,
for
recognizing
your
female
colleagues
this
morning
and
for
proclaiming
International
Women's
Day
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
and
to
all
of
you,
be
bold
for
change
in
happy
International,
Women's,
Day.

K
C
C
Also
like
to
point
out
to
members
of
council
that
this
is
the
first
council
meeting
for
our
new
general
manager
of
planning,
Steve
Willis
welcome.
We
won't
have
any
too
too
many
tough
issues
on
your
first
day,
but
we
very
much
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
thank
you
for
accepting
our
offer.
They'll
see
the
except

C
B
B
What,
as
a
city
we've
done,
what
more
should
we
be
doing
and
we've
already
our
leaders
in
Ontario
and
how
we
work
with
our
communities
and
the
industry,
and
certainly
that
has
been
evidentiary
in
this
term
of
council,
where
we
have
a
number
many
many
different
ways
that
we
do
of
everything
from
sponsor
groups
to
the
urban
design
review
panel,
regular
public
consultations
at
the
end
of
January
mr.
Schmitt
and
mrs.
Sneden,
and
myself
invited
an
equal
number
of
Federation,
Canadian,
Municipalities
and
the
industry,
and
to
talk
about
the
work
plan.
B
That's
something
that
we
haven't
done
in
the
past.
So
we
are
already
doing
a
lot.
The
three
of
us
want
to
have
some
time
to
connect
with
other
people
in
the
city
and
make
sure
that
they
feel
that
what
we're
on
the
right
track.
So
we're
just
asking
for
this
to
be
punted
to
the
fall.
So
we
have
the
time
to
do
that
and.

We

seconded
by
councillor,

If
you
would
like
to
introduce
that
counselor.
Yes,.
O
Thank
you,
mr.
mayor,
it
is
just
it
refers
to
the
right-of-way
paddle
patio
permit
issuance
for
for
speakers
on
patios
and
all
this
does.
Is
it
catches
a
small
omission
that
that
we
didn't
catch
at
Transportation,
Committee
too,
so
that
any
new
patio
within
30
metres
of
any
property
zoned,
residential
or
mixed
residential
commercial?
So
we're
just
adding
in
the
mix
residential
commercial.
So.
C
This
just
for
members
of
council
is
a
slight
changes.
The
council
indicated
from
what
we've
received
on
an
item
for
it
we're
adding
in
the
words
mixed-use
residential
/
commercial.
That's
the
only
change,
so
this
allows
I.
Believe
staff
supports
this.
Mr.
Willis,
yes,
okay,
so
on
the
amendment
carried
on
the

Does
anyone
wish
to

although

I
have

Does
anyone
have
any
other
motions
at
this
point
and
do
all
members
of
council
have
these?
C
So
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
just
ask
each
member
of
council,
where
is
counts
are
harder
where,
where
I
just
want
so
every
member
of
council
and
the
members
of
the
public
know
which
motions
are
before
us
before
we
ask
mr.
Manku
nice.
Oh
you
want
to
move
your
motion
councillor
harder.
We
will
go
to
councillor
Qadri,
while
in
the
interim
councillor.
L
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor,
and
this
motion,
as
you
mentioned,
is
seconded
by
Councillor,
hubely
and
basic
gist
of
the
motion.
Mr.
mayor
is
to
ask
staff
to
go
back
and
look
study
the
opportunity
or
the
possibility
of
a
park
and
right
at
Murray
Drive
with
the
extension
of
the
LRT
to
that
area,
I
mean
we've
got
pressure
in
the
West
End
on
all
our
parking
rights,
so
I'm,
just
looking
for
another
avenue
for
commuting
for
the
residents
and
the
Far
West
to
come
out
to
maybe
a
moody
drive
back.
L
C
B
Yeah
sorry,
mr.
mayor,
that
I
was
there
I
didn't
realize
you
were
going
to
do
this
so
quickly,
but
I'm
pleased
to
introduce
this
and
I
want
to
thank
councilor
egg
life
for
putting
it
forward
at
fedko
last
Friday
when
I
was
in
as
well
so
with
regard
to
the
future
of
LRT
in
the
city,
I've
had
a
lot
of
people.
Obviously,
in
my
ward
say
you
know
what
about
bar
Haven
and
and
I've
always
been
able
to
stand
up
and
say:
I
have
the
southwest
trans
away.
B
C
P
You
very
much
mr.
mayor,
so
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
the
we're
asses,
but
the
the
essence
of
this
motion
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
bring
it
as
the
chair
of
the
Transportation
Committee
is
to
recognize
a
significant
number
of
Ottawa
residents
to
travel
back
and
forth
every
day
to
work
on
on
the
Quebec
side
to
work
in
gatineau
this.
P
P
So
this
this
is
obviously
a
difficult
discussion
where
two
cities-
two
provinces,
water,
moving
parts
in
discussions
with
the
mayor,
he's
fully
prepared
to
take
on
those
discussions
on
behalf
of
city
residents
and
and
he
and
staff
have
received
positive
messages
from
from
the
from
the
government
and
the
staff
on
the
on
the
Quebec
side.
So
I'm
urging
everybody
to
support
this.
This
is
a
motion
that
impacts
on
thousands
of
our
residents.
As
I
say
there
are.
P
There
are
residents
from
all
over
the
city
that
make
that
Trek
daily
to
and
from
Gatineau
for
the
purposes
of
working
primarily
for
the
federal
government
and
if
whatever
we
can
do
to
move
towards
making
that
transportation
day
for
them
easier,
more
efficient,
faster,
cleaner
everything
that
goes
with.
That
will
only
start
with
these
discussions,
so
I'll
urge
you
all
to
support
this
motion
so
that
we
can
move
forward
on
this
other
piece
of
our
transportation
network.
Thank
you.
You'll
see
our.
C
Q
Therefore
be
it
resolved.
The
council
approved
that
the
functional
design
of
the
Confederation
line,
East
extension,
be
amended
to
include
public
washrooms
at
plas
Sterling
Station,
on
the
understanding
that
there
will
be
no
additional
capital
budget
pressure
resulting
from
the
change
plus
their
liens
is
today
and
will
remain
for
some
time.
The
busiest
station
in
or
liens
and
as
such
I
highly
recommend
that
councils
support
the
addition
of
public
washrooms
to
have
station
right.
C
H
Morning,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
members
of
council.
The
journey
that
brought
us
here
today
began
in
2013
on
November
26
2013
Council
unanimously
approved
the
city's
transportation
master
plan,
which
sets
out
the
priorities
for
transit
and
transportation
investments
until
2031,
in
accordance
with
your
affordability
plan
that
TMP
that
you
approved
identifies
stage
2
LRT
as
the
cornerstone
of
your
priorities.
H
Stage
2
is
about
a
single
city
program
that
brings
light
rail
west,
south
and
east
on
July.
8Th
2015
council
reconfirmed
its
commitments
and
placed
stage
2
at
the
top
of
your
term
of
council
priorities,
and
at
that
same
meeting
you
unanimously
approved
the
stage
2
LRT
environmental
assessment
and
functional
design
report,
which
laid
out
the
EI
process
for
stage
2,
including
the
system
functional
design,
and
you
approve
the
business
case
for
the
project.
H
You
also
provided
budget
authority
to
begin
the
important
work
of
the
preliminary
engineering
work
and
the
city
manager
in
the
mayor
were
given
the
authority
to
secure
provincial
and
federal
government
and
other
potential
funding
partnerships
for
the
project.
You
also
approved
two
additional
council
recommendations.
The
first
was
to
achieve
trillion
revenue
service
sooner
than
the
original
estimate
of
2023,
and
the
second
was
to
assess
the
feasibility
of
providing
a
Rapid
Transit
rail
solution
to
Canada
on
September
1
2015.
H
You
approved
a
report
on
the
procurement
strategy
to
secure
an
owners
engineer
team
under
the
leadership
of
mr.
swale
and
his
staff,
along
with
a
dedicated
team
of
professional
engineers
trained
and
tracked
special
planners
geotechnical
engineers,
legal
specialists,
p3
advisors,
real
estate
staff,
procurement
staff
and
finance
staff.
They
developed
a
comprehensive
professional
plan
that
is
built
on
all
aspects
of
your
direction.
H
The
plan
involved
extensive
consultation
and
dialogue
with
many
stakeholders,
the
team
held
27
public
facing
meetings
and,
in
addition
to
those
staff,
held
many
more
meetings
with
individual
stakeholders,
residents
and
impacted
property
owners.
Those
twenty
seven
meetings
included
ten
open
houses
for
all
the
alignments
connectivity
studies
for
all
the
alignments.
Numerous
information
sessions
updates
and
neighborhood
specific
meetings.
In
addition
to
those
public
meetings,
staff
responded
to
many
questions
and
suggestions
and
made
themselves
available
for
follow-up
meetings.
H
All
of
the
counselor
questions
raised
during
the
fedko
meeting
of
two
weeks
ago
have
been
responded
to
the
plan
with
stage
two
is
the
largest
and
the
most
extensive
and
detailed
infrastructure
work
program
in
the
history
of
the
City
of
Ottawa
at
its
peak,
it
involved
200
professionals
from
across
Canada
than
us
working
on
the
plan.
Mr.
mayor,
the
report
that
is
before
Council
and
is
recommended
by
staff
meets
every
direction
and
council
motion
motion
approved
by
council.
H
It
meets
the
affordability
plan
that
was
presented
to
fedko
and,
as
noted
in
the
report,
if
you
approve
the
recommendations,
it
allows
the
team
to
move
forward
into
the
competitive
procurement
process
for
all
three
extensions:
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
city,
council
staff,
for
now
pleased
to
take
any
questions.
You
may
have
great.
C
And
thank
you
mr.
Marconi.
This
is
obviously
a
very
both
historic
and
exciting
day
for
the
city
and
its
future
and
I
want
to
commend
you
and
your
staff
for
the
excellent
work
that
they
have
done.
Bringing
us
to
this
stage
over
the
last
four
years,
appreciated
lmlc,
well,
cupola
to
voles
fo.
So
questions
and
comments
by
members
of
council.
L
You
mr.
Maron,
thank
you
very
much
stuff
for
all
the
work
that
they've
done
on
this
report
and
the
session
that
we
had
online
last
week
as
well.
I
think
went
really
well
and
I.
Think
Chris
well
did
a
really
great
job,
answering
those
questions
and
short
a
really
solid
grasp
of
the
file,
and
it
was
nice
to
see
that
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions.
First
question
with
regards
to
the
residents
in
bar,
Haven
and
I,
know
counselor
harder
and
aglaia
bringing
the
motion
to
address
the
the
western
side
of
that.
L
H
A
B
B
With
this
stage
we
have
like
the
O
train
being
extended
to
BOS
ville
with
a
very
large
Park
&
Ride
facility
there
and
residents
can
access
that
park
and
ride
through
lope
the
local
service
right
now,
it's
the
99
and
there
would
be
plans
to
also
introduce
transit
priority
Mort
measures
along
Earl
Armstrong.
In
order
to
to
improve
that
connection,.
L
B
L
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
I
want
to
also
on
the
record,
have
some
of
the
questions
that
came
up
from
the
satellite
location
in
the
South
End
that
you
heard
a
few
times
at
the
at
the
open
house
in
terms
of.
Why
aren't
we
electrifying
now
or
why
aren't
we
double
tracking
in
some
cases,
but
we
are
upgrading
the
the
passing
tracks
in
some
cases,
or
so
I'd
like
to
get
those
on
the
record
at
council
now,
so
we
have
them.
K
Yes,
thank
you,
mr.
mayor,
the
main
reason
for
not
choosing
to
electrify
now
one
you
know:
staff
got
direction
to
proceed
with
extending
the
current
technology
with
this
diesel.
In
order
to
assure
ourselves
as
a
team,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
weren't
over
the
long-term,
impacting
the
city
financially
by
maintaining
the
existing
technology.
L
K
L
K
We've
done
it
an
inventory
of
how
the
system
works,
signals
control,
so
there's
some
upgrades
that
we're
going
to
be
recommending
that
the
proponents
deal
with
either
initially
in
the
construction
or
further
down
during
the
maintenance
period
as
well,
because
we're
running
longer
trains.
We
have
to
extend
some
of
the
passing
tracks.
K
K
At
we
to--for
example,
I
mentioned
the
passing
tracks,
signals
the
tunnel
as
well,
and
what
you're
going
to
get
it
as
an
end
result
is
as
a
much
more
reliable
system
that
operationally
has
a
little
bit
of
slack
built
in
so
should
you
experience
a
delay
of
a
minute
or
two
at
one
station,
for
you
know
an
unplanned
event
or
someone
slow
to
get
on
or
off
will
actually
be
able
to
catch
up
in
the
system.
In
order
to
you
know,
basically
operate
those
12-minute
headways
through
eight
throughout
the
system,
as
planned.
K
The
other,
thanks
to
the
funding
that
we
got
from
Pete,
if
from
the
federal
government,
we're
actually
looking
we're
designing
now
great
separation
at
the
Elwood
Dimond,
which
one
that
is
one
of
the
factors
that
impacts
reliability.
The
Elwood
diamond
is
where
the
VA
line
currently
crosses
Trillium
line.
It's
the
only
act
grade
crossing
on
the
system.
Right
now,
we're
designing
a
bridge
right
now
and
we're
hoping
to
be
able
to
bring
that
bridge
into
the
overall
scope
of
the
program
when
we
go
out
to
tender.
K
L
You
have
any
concerns
at
all
about.
Another
comment
that
comes
up
regularly
is
that
this
Boswell
station
is
sort
of
in
the
middle
of
nowhere.
It's
set
aside
in
a
field
and
I
know,
as
Riverside
South
has
developed
it's
moving
further
east
and
the
in
fact,
town
center
is
going
to
be
at
Lyme
Bank
and
our
alarm
strong.
So
are
there
any
concerns
in
terms
of
ridership
forecasting
that
you're
going
to
be
going
a
bit?
L
You
know
backtracking
if
you
will
before
you
get
to
the
Train
I'm
talking
for
the
Riverside
South
resident,
but
of
course
south
of
me,
whether
it's
in
councilor
oozes
area
or
councillor
Moffat
area,
those
who
may
decide
to
park
and
right
there.
Well,
they
won't
be
back
track
for
people
in
the
developed
part
of
Riverside
south.
Is
there
any
concern
in
terms
of
the
forecasting
and
the
ridership
that
that
may
be
seen
as
backtracking.
K
No,
we
don't
have
any
concerns
about
that.
We
looking
at
this
in
the
long
term,
but
even
in
the
short
term,
our
modeling
shows
quite
a
lot
of
demand
for
park-and-ride
at
bose
ville,
and
you
know
the
ridership
bump
that
you're
going
to
see
both
in
2023
and
as
the
overall
line
operates
and
grows
throughout
the
years
moving
forward.
You
know
we
think
it's
going
to
provide
an
excellent
opportunity
for
people
to
get
on
transit.
Much
sooner.
K
M
B
Three,
mr.
mayor,
yes,
we're
confident
in
the
affordability
of
this
project.
We
typically
when
we
do
our
forecasting,
we're
very
conservative
with
respect
to
the
revenues
that
will
come
in
and
we
are
not
so
conservative
with
estimating
what
the
cost
could
be
so
based
on
that,
we
know
this
can
fit
into
the
overall
city
financial
structure.
It
will
mean
the
issuance
a
debt,
but
it
is
well
within
the
limits
that
council
has
imposed
on
us
for
use
of
debt
and
the
province
has
imposed
on
us.
Okay,.
C
R
You
your
worship
good
morning
to
you
and
to
members
of
council.
This
definitely
is
a
historic
day
in
the
city's
history,
and
certainly
one
I'm
very
proud
to
be
part
of
as
cities
evolve.
I've
always
believed
they
must
have
a
very
strong
and
sufficient
transportation
system,
not
just
for
today,
but
for
the
future.
We
want
to
build
a
system
that
obviously
addresses
demands
of
today,
but
we're
forecasting
the
demands
for
future
decades
and
I
firmly
believe
this
is
a
strong
plan
and
I
will
be
supporting
the
recommendation
before
us
in
its
entirety.
R
I
am
confident
and
will
be
supporting.
This
doesn't
mean
I,
don't
have
additional
questions
and
we'll
be
going
through
those
the
first
just
to
carry
on
with
councillor
cockroaches
costing
analysis
a
lot
of
questions
from
constituents
about
what
type
of
vetting
and
professional
analysis
has
been
undertaken
by
our
staff
to
ensure
that
everything
that's
being
proposed
is
necessary
and
the
costing
is
solid
that
we're
not
going
to
have
surprises.
Can
I
just
have
a
comment,
please
from
staff
on
the
costs.
H
Yes,
mr.
mayor,
there's
there's
two
parts
to
that.
The
first
is
we
have
an
owner's
engineers
team,
which
is
that
group
of
external
specialists
that
we
hired
that
you
approved
and
they
bring
to
the
table
thousands
of
years
of
history
of
knowledge
and
expertise,
and
their
task
is
to
make
sure
that
they
get
this
thing
right,
both
from
a
design
perspective
and
also
a
an
estimating
perspective.
On
top
of
that,
mr.
swell
and
I
did
a
number
of
challenge
functions
to
them.
H
To
make
sure
that
every
step
of
the
way
we
were
aligned
to
our
affordability
and
the
design
parameters
and
all
those
motions
that
I
referred
to
in
my
opening
comments,
very
robust
process
with
people
that
have
done
this
before
and
that
I've
come
from
the
p3
environment.
We
also
have
Deloitte
as
part
of
the
team
and
their
mandate
is
to
make
sure
they
challenge
every
single
number
that
the
team
puts
out
on
the
table
and
they've
done
that
every
step
of
the
way
can.
R
You
talk
about
the
processes
that
will
be
used
for
future
phases,
where
there'll
be
recommendations
coming
at
some
point
to
Council
to
extend
the
lines
again,
regardless
of
which
direction.
But
we've
heard
today
about
involving
of
the
Prince
of
Wales
bridge.
We
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
to
look
at
bar
Haven
four
phases.
H
Staff,
we'll
take
all
those
motions
and
we
will
put
that
into
the
transportation
master
plan
process.
We
will
staff
with
Miss
Li
m
as
Qi
as
the
the
leader
of
that
group
will
do
what
they
do
with
every
transportation
master
plan.
Is
that
and
use
the
modeling
use
the
knowledge
expertise
to
look
at
all
the
transportation
corridors
and
bring
forward
a
staff
recommended
plan
factoring
in
all
those
motions
into
the
process?
So
we
will
certainly
make
sure
that
we
look
at
all
those
motions
and
factor
that
into
the
process.
H
R
You,
the
art,
art
procurement
and
the
ten
million
dollar
purchase.
Certainly
I
have
raised
this
publicly
concern
about
the
amount
we've
had
some
pretty
good
discussions
on
this
again.
Some
of
the
feedback
I've
heard
from
from
my
residents
was
a
desire,
particularly
for
phase
one,
to
incorporate
more
local
artists
work
to
have
have
OC
Transpo
and
incorporate
local
art
or
a
local
flavor
at
our
stations.
That
would
be
reflective
of
the
communities
that
they
that
they
serve.
H
L
Thank
You
mr.
mayor.
Yes,
this
city's
public
art
policy,
of
course,
does
try
to
reflect
the
local
community
and
that's
always
been
part
of
our
mandate,
and
so
our
public
art
unit
that
will
work
on
this
project
will
commit,
of
course,
to
working
reaching
out
with
information
sessions
to
local
artists,
to
get
them
interested
in
this
project
and
get
them
to
participate.
We
will
distribute
when
the
call
does
go
out
for
artists
for
the
procurement
of
this
art.
L
And,
lastly,
something
that
we've
been
wanting
to
do,
which
I
think
may
help
with
some
of
this
is
to
organize
a
materials
and
methods
session
for
local
artists,
so
that
smaller
artists
that
perhaps
have
never
integrated
their
own
art
into
something
as
large
as
a
transit
station
would
understand
the
materials
and
how
to
adapt.
There
are
to
incorporate
it
into
it,
so
we
think
that
with
these
measures
and
with
a
competitive
call,
we
would
be
able
to
attract
local
artists
to
participate
in
this
process.
That.
R
Is
that's
very
good.
I
applaud
that
and
I.
Thank
you
for
a
greater
focus
on
local
artists
and
incorporating
I
think
that's
very,
very
good
that
fedko
I
raised
concerns,
particularly
with
the
the
trillium
line
and
The
Associated
works
with
the
Trillium
line.I
I
needed
more
information
about
the
Walkley
maintenance
er,
the
staff
proposal
to
relocate
that
I've
had
again
conversations
with
staff
where
it's
proven
to
be
financially
in
taxpayers,
interest
to
proceed
with
a
staff
recommendation
and
that
the
impact
on
local
residents
will
be
low
to
mil
so
I'm
very
satisfied
on
that
front.
R
No
doubt
about
it.
Concern
with
the
16
month,
shutdown
I
used
to
be
a
daily
Oh
Train
rider
I
used
to
write
it
from
the
day
it
opened
to
travel,
to
Tony's
pasture
and
have
survived
multiple
summer
shutdowns
and-
and
there
is
an
impact
there,
not
just
the
inconvenience
for
passengers
but
the
potential
that
they
would.
They
would
substitute
their
mode
of
travel
during
this,
not
just
during,
but
but
after.
But
when
you
look
at
the
the
Dow's
lake
tunnel
work,
that's
necessary.
R
The
Rideau
River
bridge
work
we're
building
two
new
stations
on
the
existing
line
at
Gladstone
and
Walkley.
That
track
signal
work,
a
potential
bridge
over
the
Elwood
crossing,
the
Via
Rail
crossing
just
south
of
the
Confederation
station,
and
mr.
man
Kony
explained
they
could
do
it
three
months
at
a
time,
then
reopen
for
six
weeks
and
then
close
again
to
me.
It's
just
not
the
way
to
go
so
as
inconvenient
as
16
months.
R
It
is
I,
certainly
support
getting
this
work
done
all
at
once
and
opening
up
brand-new
and
and
ready
to
go
so
I
I
acknowledge
the
inconvenience
but
support
the
staff
direction.
Also
at
the
airport
link
I
do
support
the
spur
to
the
airport,
certainly
I'd
like
to
see
ridership
numbers
higher
and
and
staff
have
acknowledged.
There
will
be
a
promotion
campaign
to
get
people
aware
and
using
it
and
understand
that
the
technical
challenges
that
exist
not
going
to
downtown
at
this
time,
but
certainly
I,
think
there
needs
to
be
a
future
thinking
about.
R
R
When
the
trillium
line
train
gets
to
Bayview
well,
there
could
be
capacity
on
those
trains
which
have
just
originated
at
Tony's
pasture.
To
pick
up
these,
this
large
group
of
people
that
have
just
come
off
a
train
and
I
want
to
go
downtown
or
will
they
require
multiple
trains?
In
order
to
facilitate
that
big
group,
all
at
once,.
K
That's
a
great
question
because
that
point
Bayview
is
actually
the
sort
of
the
peak
load
point
on
the
system
and
as
one
of
the
key
reasons
why
we
introduced
the
station
reconfiguration
at
Lincoln
fields
and
at
herd
men
in
order
to
introduce
an
empty
train
at
that
location
that
could
serve
the
core
of
the
line
run
essentially
back
and
forth
between
Lincoln
Lincoln
fields
and
herdmen.
If
need
be,
what
that
does?
Is
it
ensures
by
the
time
those
trains
get
to
Bayview?
K
There's
that
additional
capacity
to
take
those-
and
we
estimate
it
to
be
about
a
thousand
people
in
the
peak
hour
in
2023
from
those
trains
to
get
on
the
first
train
that
comes
by
as
opposed
to
waiting
and
seeing
trains
that
are
completely
full
go
down.
So
this
is
something
that
we'll
monitor
on
an
operational
basis,
and
if
we
need
to
add
that
additional
capacity
in
the
core
at
peak
points
either
a.m.
or
p.m.
we
will
do
so
and
we're
protecting
for
that
operational
flexibility
to
to
see
that
it's
done
very.
R
O
You
mr.
mayor
I
also
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
staff
and
to
say
just
how
pleased
I
am
to
be
part
of
this.
Today.
It's
it's
a
big
deal
in
our
city.
You
know
phase
1
I,
you
know
we
we
weren't
all
around
here,
but
certainly
the
city
was
was
ready.
For
you
know,
for
phase
one
of
our
LRT
plan
and
phase
two
is
just
going
to
I
think
really
changed
the
way
we're
able
to
move
around
the
city
and
change
some
of
the
things
that
were
able
to
do
in
the
city.
O
I
know
for
myself,
I
rarely
drive
anymore
to
South
Keyes.
If
I
go
to
say
chapters
or
any
of
the
the
shops
down
there,
that
I
need
to
get
to
I.
Take
the
Trillium
line.
It's
it's
convenient
it's
right
there
and
you
know
I,
look
forward
to
you,
know
being
able
to
visit
Orleans
to
be
able
to
visit,
Bayshore
and
eventually
Canada
by
train.
It's
it's
an
exciting.
O
You
know
to
an
exciting
prospect
for
the
city,
and
you
know,
with
with
all
of
this
change,
will
be
able
to
really
think
about
how
we
move
people
around
how
we're
able
to
move
people
around
because
physics
alone,
you
know
just
tell
us
that
we
can't
just
continue
to
add
a
car
capacity
to
to
the
city,
we'll
always
need
to
drive,
but
but
being
able
to
put
that
number
of
people
on
light.
Rail
will
certainly
change
how
we
move
around
just
have
a
couple
of
questions
on
land
acquisitions.
O
It
is
something
that
that
I
inherited
I
know.
It
was
a
decision
made
in
the
last
term
of
Council
and
I.
Wasn't
here
long
when
I
was
when
that
the
first
report
was
brought
to
me
and
I
had
something
like
two
hours
and
I'm,
certainly
not
placing
any
blame
on
staff.
This
is
you
know.
I
know
it
had
to
be
done
quickly,
but
I
had
something
like
two
hours
to
look
at
the
report.
Think
it
over
and
concur
and
I.
O
Just
wonder
you
know
the
the
recommendation
in
front
of
us
has
us
continuing
without
without
it
ever
coming
back
to
Council.
You
know,
except
for
when
it's
everything
is
finished
and
I,
think
that
it's
I
know
for
myself.
I'm
I've
grown
uneasy
in
in
my
role
in
concurring
with
these
reports,
mostly
because
I'm
not
mostly
I,
always
have
it,
but
when
we
were
when
we
asked
that
it
be
contemplated
as
part
of
an
audit,
we
were
told
that
it
was
too
complex.
O
E
Through
the
mayor
a
councillor
to
answer
your
first
question
with
regards
to
the
actual
process,
essentially
what
we're
proposing
to
do
with
stage
two
of
the
LRT
is
to
improve
the
process
that
we
had
in
stage
one
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
with
regards
to
the
properties,
are
going
to
be
expropriated
or
proposed
to
be
expropriated.
Essentially
that
will
be
identified
by
staff.
So
that's
step
one
once
those
properties
have
been
identified
and
for
the
most
part,
they've
already
been
identified.
E
We
would
then
meet
with
the
particular
ward
councillor
to
go
over
those
different
properties
to
talk
about
how
they
could
be
affected,
and
what
we're
proposing
to
do
once.
We've
done
that.
If
there's
no
concerned
with
the
local
ward
councillor,
we
then
be
reaching
out
to
the
mayor's
office
and
be
doing
the
exact
same
process
with
the
mayor's
office
and
I'm
sure
the
mayor
is
going
to
want
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
okay
with
the
local
ward
councillor.
E
Once
we
get
that
sign-off
on
both
sides,
then
we'd
be
moving
forward
with
a
report
to
Council
to
approve
the
expropriation
for
the
various
properties
that
are
going
to
be
required.
So
actually
we're
adding
in
another
layer
in
terms
of
moving
forward
with
the
whole
expropriation
last
process.
With
regards
to
having
council
more
involved
and
more
engaged
and.
O
So
you
will
be
reporting
back
to
council.
How
does
that
differ
them
than
what
we
were
doing
for
phase
one,
because
for
phase
one
you
weren't
coming
back
to
council?
It
was
only
going
to
happen
when
everything
was
finished,
so
you're
telling
me
that
in
Phase
two,
that
won't
be
the
case
that
you'll
be
coming
back
to
Council.
With
a
report.
E
E
So
we
wanted
to
protect
their
interest
as
well
as
the
city's
interest
as
we
move
forward.
So,
at
all
points
in
time,
I
can
assure
you
that,
when
we've
gone
through
with
the
land
acquisition
that
we've
had
representatives
from
blg,
who
are
lawyers,
they've
worked
with
this
at
all
these
property
and
negotiations,
and
we
basically
have
them
sign
off
every
report
that
we
have
followed
our
property
acquisition
policy,
as
well
as
a
corporation
process
and
for
each
one
of
those
reports
before
it's
finally
signed
off.
E
O
Okay,
well,
I'll
give
that
some
more
thought.
Thank
you.
My
next
question
is
on
the
the
business
case.
I
just
I
know
that
we've
had
several
meetings
and
I've
had
many
questions
answered
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that
since
since
fedko,
but
on
the
business
case,
if
we're
looking
at
my
understanding
is
that
the
8.2
percent
increase
in
ridership
that
we
anticipate
that
assumes
the
417
widening,
so
the
the
the
numbers
that
we
have
here
assume
the
417
widening.
Is
that
correct?
That
is.
O
K
So
I
do
not.
We've
had
that
question
asked
by
another
of
your
colleague
as
well.
So
the
way
the
business
case
is
done
is
it
looks
at
all
of
the
planned
projects
from
now
until
until
2031
on
the
overall
transportation
network,
and
so
the
the
increases
in
ridership
also
increase
the
additional
capacity
on
the
overall
road
network
and
also
the
you
know,
the
vehicle
kilometer
reductions
that
you
see.
There
are
also
in
a
look
at
the
global
improvements
to
the
overall
transportation
network,
as
well
as
the
improvements
to
the
transit
network.
K
So
we
haven't
segmented
out,
impacts
to
the
417
and
we
haven't
imagined
a
scenario
because
that
was
on
the
planning
horizon
for
the
expansion
of
the
417
in
the
business
case.
We
don't
imagine
a
scenario
where
that
expansion
doesn't
take
place.
We
can
go
back
and
re
reverse
some
engineering.
We
think
on
the
numbers.
It's
just
going
to
take
us
a
little
bit
of
time.
Okay,.
D
L
H
D
Think
it's
a
wonderful
day
for
the
city.
I
think
we
all
play
a
role
for
our
communities,
but
also
we
have
to
represent
the
whole
city
and
I
think
this
comes
out
at
the
right
time.
I
remember
being
at
the
table
a
few
years
ago.
We're
talking
about
phase
one
and
we're
pretty
advanced
in
the
construction
of
phase.
One
and
transit
affects
all
of
us.
Our
residents
want
to
be
able
to
travel
throughout
the
city
quickly
and
phase.
One
is
not
enough
for
that
purpose.
D
D
One
thing
that
is
important
also
is
the
connection
between
transit
and
the
airport.
I
know
there
is
a
bus
that
goes
to
the
airport,
I've
used
it
a
few
times.
It's
ok,
it's
a
good
service,
but
obviously,
in
a
few
years
with
phase
two
work
completed
and
we
be
able
to
get
to
the
airport
from
any
neighborhood
through
could
I
think
with
Via,
Rail
or
or
the
bus
I.
Think
it's
a
major
asset,
and
also
what
we'll
have
to
continue
to
consider
is
the
whole
aspect
of
access.
D
Financially,
we've
gone
through
one
step
in
this
phase
and
based
on
affordability,
but
we'll
have
to
look
at
the
number
of
users
that
we
want
to
have
so
it's
important
to
have
that
thought
process.
So,
thank
you
to
all
those
who
worked
on
light
rail.
We
know
that
it's
a
very
sure
way
of
getting
around
when
a
it
says
that
the
train
will
arrive
in
it
will
arrive
in
one
minute,
so
that
shouldn't
be
neglected
will
ensure
improved
transit
for
all
the
residents
and
OC
Transpo
managers.
Counselors
everyone
who's
participated.
G
Simply
wanted
to
echo
a
lot
of
the
comments
already
made
about
how
important
stage
2
is
to
the
advancement
of
transit
building
in
our
city.
I.
Think
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
really
see
and
realize
all
sorts
of
economic,
environmental
and
social
benefits
for
an
increasingly
large
number
of
residents
in
our
city
and
kudos
to
staff
for
all
of
the
work
over
the
years.
I'm
also
seized
with
the
fact
that
approving
stage
2
comes
with
great
responsibility
between
the
two
stages.
We
are
investing
I,
guess
what
close
to
five
point.
G
Six
billion
dollars
of
public
funds
so
really
tried
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
staff
before
before
this
meeting,
understanding
everything,
particularly
in
the
business
case
and
I
thank
staff
for
that
I
have
just
a
couple
of
more
questions
as
I
went
through
it.
Each
time
new
issues
arose,
and
so
my
first
question
just
with
regard
to
the
business
case,
which
I
found
very
very
useful
and
I,
think
the
scope
of
costs
and
benefits
which
were
included
was
impressive
and
very
helpful
in
understanding
what
the
benefits
actually
are.
G
Looking
at
charts,
3
and
4,
which
are
on
page
39
and
37
of
the
business
case,
I
was
trying
to
understand
a
little
bit
the
relationship
between
the
two
for
2030,
one
looking
at
the
636
million
vehicle
kilometers
traveled
gained
and
then
looking
at
the
benefits
of
ridership.
A
gain
of
10
million
rides
over
the
base,
which
is
an
8
percent
increase.
Is
it
too
simple?
If
you
do
the
math
just
to
say
that
you
divide
the
number
of
increased
rides
by
the
total
vehicle?
G
K
So
it's
a
little
bit
more
complicated
than
that
in
terms
of
what's
what
are
the
factors
driving
some
people
to
transit?
Obviously,
the
overall
transportation
network
is
one
of
those
factors
but
price
of
fuel
availability
of
parking.
There
are
a
number
of
factors:
growth
in
the
area
location
we
did.
We
looked.
We
took
a
closer
look
at
all
the
population
growth
through
there
and
vice
versa.
K
So
what
feeds
that-
and
perhaps
the
Vivi
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
details
on
an
origin
destination,
but
what
feeds
that
is
where
the
people
are
you
know
going
to
in
their
in
their
main
commutes.
So
that's
done
last
time.
I
think
that
was
updated
was
2011
and
then
was
it
updated
more
recently
No
2011.
So
you
look
at
the
commute
times
within
each
of
those
origin
destination
main
locations
to
the
you
know,
primarily
main
employment
hubs
throughout
the
entire
city.
G
Thanks,
so
in
looking
at
the
benefit
cost
analysis
which
again
I
was
impressed
by
in
terms
of
all
all
the
various
factors
in
in
trying
to
apply
that
same
analysis
to
the
bundled
projects,
I.
Think
in
answer
to
councilor
McKenna's
question,
the
answer:
was
we
don't
know
what
the
additional
V
kts
would
be,
but
for
the
417
widening?
Is
that
correct
that.
G
So
that
I
guess
the
the
challenge
there.
Even
though
it's
not
our
widening
and
not
our
road
is
we
then
don't
know
what
the
costs
are
in
terms
of
the
travel
time
benefits
and
the
air
quality
benefits
and
the
increased
GHG
emissions
and
so
on.
But
is
that
something
that
we
think
we
can
disaggregate
over
the
coming
weeks
in
order
to
understand
that
a
little
bit
better
I
think.
G
And
then,
similarly
for
the
174
I
know
the
staff
analysis,
the
original
analysis
assumed
a
widening
between
I,
guess,
Jean,
d'arc
and
the
split,
and
then
it
was
R
which
showed
a
10%
decrease
in
ridership.
But
then
it
was
revised
because
right
now,
what's
before
us
in
terms
of
a
bundled
project,
is
only
the
addition
of
the
HOV
Lane
from
Jean
d'arc
to
Montreal
Road.
G
H
H
G
G
K
K
G
Great
yeah,
and
just
to
explain
why
I'm
asking
what
I'm
trying
to
do
again
is
just
apply
this.
You
know
using
the
cost-benefit
analysis
in
the
business
case,
which
again
I
thought
was
very
good
I'm
trying,
in
my
own
mind,
to
figure
out
what
are
the
benefits
and
costs
of
the
bundled
projects
and
even
though
the
capital
costs
will
not
be
incurred
by
the
municipality,
what
are
the
operational
costs
in
terms
of
maintenance
of
the
road
in
terms
of
the
quantifiable
losses?
G
I
guess
in
terms
of
the
increased
V
kts
for
travel
time
and
for
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
air
quality
contaminants
and
then
as
well.
Some
of
the
private
savings
to
that
are
realized
in
the
whole
plan.
You'd
have
to
put
on
the
cost
ledger
in
terms
of
understanding
what
these
bundled
projects
would
be.
So
it's
I
tried
to
do
it,
but
in
the
absence
of
having
some
of
that,
data
is
very
very
hard,
but
I
appreciate
the
effort
of
staff
to
try
and
get
that
information.
What
it
does
mean
is
it's
it's.
G
It's
very
I'm
worried.
The
concern
is
even
with
the
other
levels
of
government
paying
for
this,
or
we
can
end
up
in
a
situation
where
there's
going
to
be
a
net
cost
to
us
and
I
guess
we
don't
know
that
at
this
stage,
because
we
don't
know,
we
can't
do
some
of
those
calculations
in
terms
of
the
B
K
T's,
but
I
do
appreciate
all
the
work
that
staff
did
on
modeling,
the
transit
ridership
and
all
of
the
various
answers
which
were
given
to
my
questions
over
the
past
couple
of
weeks.
M
K
So
yes,
we'll
have
to
do
an
environmental
assessment
which
will
be
primarily
around
converting
the
technology
from
bus
transit
to
LRT.
The
first
public
consultation,
for
that
I
believe
is
scheduled
for
March
22nd,
so
invites
are
going
out
imminently
if
they
haven't
already
gone
out
the
door
and
then
I
believe
there's
one
later
in
June.
The
goal
is
to
have
the
environmental
assessment
back
before
council
sometime
early
September,
so
we
can
bring
it
in
to
the
in-market
period
as
part
of
the
RFP
process.
Yes,.
M
L
M
And
same
things,
true,
probably
for
bar
Haven,
because
they're
all
would
be
in
pepper
the
sent
to
all
councils.
That's
easiest
question
about
the
washrooms
have
been
raised.
They
said
they
want
to
put
in
Washington's
without
any
additional
cost
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
in
my
head.
How
that's
possible.
K
So
I
believe
the
emotion
refers
to
without
any
additional
capital
costs,
and
the
reason
for
that
is.
We
had
built
our
capital
cost
estimates
with
a
washroom
at
plast
d'orléans
in
this
case,
because
it
was
potentially
the
terminus
if
we
could
nod
and
if
we
cannot
get
the
federal
and
provincial
funding
required
to
extend
further
to
trim.
So
the
capital
budget
is
there
and
protected
in
order
to
implement
the
public
washrooms
within
the
fair
pay
zone
at
plas,
but
you're
absolutely
right.
K
K
M
And
when
you're,
putting
in
washers,
that
say
it's
always
plural.
Nowadays
you
can
put
in
uni
Lingle
one.
You
know
ones
that
can
be
used
by
anybody
it
just
but
a
single
one
and
just
to
have
a
place
that
people
in
great
need
have
them,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
we're
trying
to
do,
because
some
people
have
problems
a
need
to
have
them
close
by.
M
K
M
M
You
get
doing
public
art
the
one
percent
on
a
large
project
like
this
ends
up
a
very
large
amount
of
money
and
and
if
in
some
talk
off
and
on
in
this
chamber,
of
the
different
people,
not
just
that,
but
are
there
some
kinds
of
developments
that
we
shouldn't
actually
do
it
for
because
I
always
thought
it
rather
strange.
They
put
it
into
a
service
garage
where
it's
only
the
people
work,
their
goal,
etc.
So
I
says
anything
taking
a
look
at
how
that
will
happen.
L
Mr.
mayor,
the
policy
the
council
approved
in
the
fall
of
2015,
which
refreshed
our
public
art
policy,
did
not
reduce
the
amount
but
did
introduce
the
flexibility
where
certain
buildings
had
less
public
exposure
and
where
public
art
was
perhaps
less
of
a
priority
that
there
was
an
ability
to
move
it
and
put
it
in
a
better
location,
a
pooling
of
funds.
If
you
will
so
that
we
could
better
use
the
funds
that
are
collected.
L
There
was
no
provision
to
reduce
the
the
one
percent,
even
though
we
did
resist
the
temptation
to
increase
it,
which
was
what
some
in
the
cultural
community
were
asking
us
to
look
at,
and
we
said
no
I
think
right
by
maintaining
the
one
percent,
but
allowing
some
flexibility
to
better
position
it
that
that
was
the
right
way
to
go.
And
that's
the
policy
council
approved
I,
forgotten.
M
Nobody
had
refreshed
at
that
time.
They
don't
remember
every
single
motion,
council,
okay,
thank
you
and
I'm,
really
looking
forward
to
this
happening,
to
the
eh,
to
get
it
to
Kannada
and
for
finding
a
golden
tree
that
will
provide
the
funds
to
extend
it
out
to
Kannada.
I
still
are
not
happy
the
fact
that
you're
sending
it
all
the
way
through
Orleans
before
you
even
get
to
the
edge
of
Canada
I,
think
that
and
because
we
don't
have
a
bus,
rapid
transit
system
into
our
core
area
either.
M
So,
despite
that,
I
will
hold
my
nose
and
I
will
vote
for
the
expansion's
the
way
it
is
because
that
seems
to
be
the
way
council
wants
to
go,
but
it
does
mean
that
we
really
do
have
to
look
very
hard
how
we
can
get
to
the
other
areas.
The
West
End
is
growing
very
quickly
now
with
the
high
tech
going
this
way
it
is
now
it's
going
to
you're
going
to
see
that
even
more.
Thank
you.
A
You
bye
mr.
mayor,
and
let
me
just
start
by
acknowledging
the
unbelievable
amount
of
work
that
has
gone
into
bringing
us
here
today.
I
know,
you've
all
been
working
very
hard
on
this
project
and
I
appreciate
that
I
also
wanted
to
thank
staff
for
facilitating
the
web-based
consultation.
Last
week,
I
thought
it
was
good.
I
thought
it
was
sort
of
branching
out
for
us
it
was
a
new
effort,
but
I
thought
it
was
very
worthwhile.
A
Is
that
Southend
counselor
I
heard
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
Trillium
line,
as
I
know,
you
did
to
Chris,
and
even
after
that,
I've
been
hearing
a
lot
more
from
residents
of
the
South
End.
One
of
the
questions
councillor
brockington
asked
earlier
about
the
systems,
integration
and
also
just
how
people
move
between
the
two
lines,
I
think
is,
is
important
to
understand.
K
3
mr.
Meredith,
at
this
point
you
know
we
recognize
that
a
lot
of
transfers
will
take
place
at
south
keys
and,
yes,
there
was
recently
an
approved
CDP
that
will
you
will
see
a
lot
of
growth
over
the
next
10
to
20
years
in
that
area.
But
even
with
that
growth,
the
amount
of
transfers
that
are
going
to
take
place
between
trillium
line
and
the
southeast
transit
way
are
a
fraction
I
think
somewhere
around
15%
of
the
the
transferor
volumes
at
the
at
the
next
highest
station,
which
is
Bayview,
I,
believe
yeah.
A
Thank
you
I'm.
Just
generally
speaking,
if
I
can
I've
been
a
strong
supporter
of
LRT
in
the
city,
I
think
counselor
and
harder
and
I
are
the
early
adopters
from
back
around
early
in
the
2000s
and,
of
course,
I
think
we're
all
very
happy
to
see
this
project
moving
forwards.
Clearly,
transformational
in
the
city,
it
will
change
the
way
many
of
us
move
around
the
city
well
into
the
future.
So
I
look
forward
to
supporting
this
was
report
today.
A
I
would,
however,
like
to
take
a
moment
to
look
a
little
further
into
the
future
and
just
perhaps
provide
a
bit
of
a
cautionary
note
to
members
of
council
that
we
must
always
do
our
due
diligence.
We
must
always
look
at
the
numbers
to
guide
us
and
we
can
never
allow
the
next
phases
to
turn
into
a
popularity
contest.
A
They
have
to
be
based
on
merit
and
where
our
residents
are
traveling
and
they
have
to
always
make
sense
from
a
business
case
perspective
and
to
that
end,
I
know:
we've
veered
away
from
our
last
peer
review
with
the
passing
of
this
report
today
and
I
I
think
I
would
just
suggest
at
some
point.
We
should
perhaps
look
at
a
new
peer
review
as
we
move
forward
with
future
phases
if
we're
fortunate
enough
to
get
funding
for
future
phases
as
well.
A
In
reviewing
this
report,
I
saw
a
number
of
things
that
I
think
are
warnings
signs
that
I
think
counsel
needs
to
pay
attention
to
as
we
move
forward.
For
example,
the
business
case
is
no
longer
as
strong
as
it
was
in
in
stage
one.
Many
of
the
indicators
have
been
revised
downward
I
think
there's
still
a
business
case,
but
the
strength
of
it,
perhaps
just
isn't
as
strong
and
I
think
we
have
to
watch
those
indicators
as
we
move
forward
I'm
I'm
personally
concerned
about
the
recommendation
here
today
to
look
at
expanding
the
174.
A
The
evidence
clearly
shows
it
competes
directly
with
our
expanded
LRT
line,
both
from
a
ridership
and
a
fair
revenue
perspective.
I'm
also
concerned
about
the
affordability
model
which
embeds
in
that
a
2
and
a
half
percent
fare
increase
every
year
for
the
next
30
years.
I
mean
I.
Think
that's
at
least
a
word
point
that
we
should
be
looking
at.
Having
said
that,
it
is
our
job
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
strong
business
case
when
we
are
embarking
on
spending
billions
of
taxpayers
dollars
and
value-for-money
is
an
essential
goal
and
good
government.
A
C
A
F
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
yes,
I'll,
start
off
by
just
reading
some
of
the
excerpts
of
an
email
that
we
all
received
from
the
Richard
nadir
or
director
of
community
relations
for
Building
and
Construction
Trades
Council,
and
some
of
the
comments
he
makes
is
we
need
your
help
to
alleviate
many
of
the
transit
issues
that
all
of
us,
110,000,
East
and
taxpayers,
often
experience
while
commuting
to
and
from
whirlings
I'm
going
further
down
the
email
and
won't
read
the
whole
email.
Highway.
F
174
and
neo
LRT
will
help
alleviate
or
as
a
minimum
lower
date
on
some
of
the
concerns
that
have
been
voiced
for
decades,
and
that
is
in
fact
true
for
decades.
Nor
us
take
a
leadership
initiative
to
support
Eastern
taxpayers,
industry
colleagues,
neighbors
on
both
sides
of
Ottawa
Eastern
boundaries.
We
depend
on
city
council
to
support
our
infrastructure
job
cycle,
starting
with
direct
construction,
jobs
and
indirect
induced
jobs
that
are
linked
to
our
industry
as
the
economy
grows.
Our
city's
population
expands
this
25
million
dollars.
Investment
will
be
recaptured
for
multiple
times
over
and
finishes.
F
F
When
we
talk
about
a
complete
road
system,
we
also
have
to
take
into
account
Prescott
Russell,
which
is
opposed
to
another
85,000
population,
that,
when
use
that
type
of
road
system,
the
complete
road
system
is
not
just
addition
of
lanes.
Basically,
what
we
are
looking
for
is
we
want
a
continued
use
of
transit,
combined
weight,
regular
traffic
on
the
174
plus,
adding
an
HOV
Lane
nor
any
of
Mohsen.
F
F
It's,
not
padding
three
lanes
for
traffic
and
saying
that
you
know
you're
solving
a
solution.
You'll
never
solve
a
solution.
If
your
saddle
and
lane
your
traffic-
but
you
will
solve
a
solution
if
you
add
LRT
right
up
to
trim
road
and
that
is
coming,
you
will
solve
a
solution
when
you
encourage
people
to
use
capacity
when
they
use
their
vehicles
instead
of
just
one
individual
use
in
the
174.
F
I
was
surprised
that
any
council
would
have
voted
against
an
expanding
of
174
in
East
I
mean
where
we
look
at
the
417
expansion,
linear,
much
complaints
back
then,
but
for
some
reason,
councilors,
who
don't
even
live
in
Orleans,
decide
that
this
is
not
an
appropriate
way
to
go
on
when
crossing
members
of
council
that
we
should
all
support
this
expansion
and
there's
a
very
wise
expansion.
It
will
not
take
right
your
ship
away
from
LRT.
In
fact,
the
report
that
was
leaked
and
I'm
not
sure
what
counts
are
leaked
it.
F
What
I
meant
I
checked
with
the
staff,
and
the
report
is
not
accurate
in
fact,
and
the
numbers
are
quite
different
and
what
the
report
is
when
we're
looking
at
doing
a
complete
system
you're
looking
at
discussions
that
go
back
to
2006
I
am
been
part
of
its
also
and
we're
looking
today,
not
only
east
west
and
south.
We
have
a
motion
today,
that's
looking
north,
you
know
it's
with
the
leadership
of
Mayor
Watson
and
mayor
max
I'm
kinda,
visual
Bay.
F
That
is
looking
further
into
the
future
and
seeing
a
complete
traffic
system,
let's
not
get
bogged
down
on
one
lane
on
the
174,
and
you
know
if
you're
in
the
start
descending
on
three
four
items.
Descent
on
the
whole
item
is
that's
what
the
way
it
should
be
done.
You're,
looking
at
transportation
that
we
work,
we've
done
improvements
that
we've
done
in
the
West
we
started
off
talking
about
Tony's
pasture,
then
we
went
to
Bayshore
now
we're
up
to
Moody.
F
Anybody
who
drives
from
Warland
and
moody
will
see
that
that's
quite
an
accomplishment
and
it's
what
the
leadership
and
the
West
End
councilors
and
I
may
not
happen
together.
As
a
council
I
think
we
can
improve
the
system
and
we
can
keep
on
improving
it
and
I
see
my
time
is
up,
but
thank
you
very
much
mayor,
for
you
know
time.
Okay,.
P
You
thank
you.
Mr.
Merrick
I,
just
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
to
thank
staff.
As
chair,
the
translation
committee
I've,
been
in
many
of
the
meetings
I've
been
in
many
of
the
public
consultations
and
I've
seen
the
effort
and
the
hours
that
John
and
Chris
and
their
teams
have
taken
to
respond
to
community
concerns
to
respond
to
councillors,
questions
to
to
keep
information
current
transparent.
P
The
effort
has
been
exceptional
on
on
this
project,
and
this
will
be
a
project
that
is
going
to
impact
on
the
city
for
many
years
to
come.
So
so
thank
you
for
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
mayor
in
his
office
and
Sarah
sharp
and
particular
for
the
work
that
they've
they've
done
on
this,
and
strangely
enough,
it's
Steve
Wallace's
first
day
here
and
we
don't
really
have
any
issues.
P
So
so
it's
good
that
this
is
your
first
meetings
very
timely
as
I
say,
I've
been
in
somewhat
of
a
unique
perspective
on
this
project
because
of
the
nature
of
it,
and
this
is
a
huge
opportunity
for
the
city
and
and
I
have
to
agree
with,
with
with
Bob
Manette,
that
we
shouldn't
get
bogged
down
on
the
little
details.
This
is
a
significant
opportunity
for
the
city.
It's
it's
an
opportunity
to
build
on
phase
one.
P
While
we
have
the
staff
that
are
current
with
with
the
processes
and
the
ideas,
and
while
we,
while
we
have
the
momentum
and
the
excitement
of
the
residents
going
forward
from
phase
one
this,
this
is
an
opportunity
that
we
have
to
seize
and
I
would
hope
that
everyone
around
this
table
and
I
believe
that
everyone
around
this
table
understands
that
and
will
act
on
that
accordingly.
I
think
this
is.
P
This
is
a
proposal
that
we
accept
wholeheartedly
that
we
accept
as
one
piece
it
it's
a
lot
like
a
jigsaw
puzzle
and
and
like
a
jigsaw
puzzle
jigsaw
puzzle
is
a
lot
more
satisfying
when
you
have
all
the
pieces
when
you've
spent
hours
and
hours
is
our
staff
and
and
and
council
have
on
this
project
too.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
have
your
jigsaw
puzzle
with
one
or
two
or
three
pieces
missing
out
of
thousands.
It's
just
not
right.
P
What's
right
is
to
recognize
the
hard
work
that's
been
put
in
by
everybody
recognize
what
we're
hearing
from
our
residents
that
they
want
this
they're
hungry,
for
it
they're
excited
about
it,
and
that
excitement
is
only
going
to
build
this
phase.
One
opens
and
Phase
two
starts
to
build,
so
my
suggestion
to
everybody
around
the
table
is
that
we
all
put
in
our
pieces-
and
we
finish
that
puzzle
and
it's
complete.
P
There
are
parts
fifth,
you
may
not
like,
as
well
as
others
and
that's
the
nature
of
compromise
and
on
a
project,
this
big
with
this
many
moving
parts,
this
many
community
associations
just
many
be
IAS.
This
many
residents,
this
many
levels
of
government
there
are
going
to
be
pieces
that
aren't
quite
as
good
as
others,
but
when
you
put
them
all
together,
you
get
a
really
super
project
and
that's
what
we
have
in
front
of
us.
P
Let's
send
a
message
to
our
residents:
let's
set
a
message
to
all
the
levels
of
government
that
this
council
is
a
hundred
percent
supportive
of
this
project,
and
we
want
to
see
the
change
continue
to
happen
in
the
city
and
continue
to
transform
the
city
into
a
multimodal
better
environment,
better
efficiency,
wise,
better
transit
system,
overall,
better
transportation
system
overall
for
all
of
our
residents.
Let's
be
we
were
on
the
on
the
John
Mahoney
says:
I,
don't
want
to
be
on
the
bleeding
edge.
You
want
to
be
on
the
leading
edge.
P
C
S
S
Who've
worked
on
this
file
have
been
tremendous
allies,
not
just
in
getting
the
project
in
shape
and
moving
forward,
but
also
surmounting
a
lot
of
those
challenges
and
problems
that
come
with
when
you're
not
building
something
in
isolation
when
you're
building
it
an
award
like
mine,
where
you're
traversing
through
established
communities
with
long
histories
and
intimate
connections
to
the
spaces
around
them
and
so
to
have
the
staff
approach.
This
in
such
a
delicate
fashion,
I
think,
has
been
the
utmost,
respectful
demonstration
of
how
how
important
they
take
this
work.
S
I
also
want
to
thank
I
mentioned
the
partners,
but
I
also
want
to
thank
the
residents.
The
residents
of
not
just
my
ward,
but
the
West
End
in
the
city
as
a
whole
have
been
I.
Think
more
intimately
engaged
in
this
project
than
I
have
seen
in
I.
Think
any
project
since
I've
had
the
honor
to
sit
around
this
table.
Residents
have
provided
opinions,
guidance,
history,
feedback,
ancient
documents
and
pictures
sometimes
produced
from
basements
that
have
helped
to
make
this
project
better,
have
helped
to
shape
how
things
actually
get
implemented
and
have
improved
I.
S
S
That's
what
improves
our
city,
but
it
has
to
be
in
all
of
the
above
solution.
You
can't
move
forward
with
simply
one
approach.
We
have
to
pick
up
all
of
the
tools
at
our
disposal
and
I
believe
that
doing
it
in
a
combined
and
comprehensive
fashion,
as
the
staff
have
come
at
this
project
is
the
way
in
which
we'll
be
able
to
deliver
on
our
commitment
to
residents
to
build
the
best
city
possible,
one
that
responds
most
Abele
to
their
needs
and
I
want
to
just
finish
off
by
mentioning
something.
S
I
think
that
perhaps
we
haven't
focused
on
a
lot.
You
know
just
today,
the
Institute
of
research
and
public
policy
released
a
report
called
how
Canadian
suburbs
can
become
age
friendly,
and
we
pride
ourselves
in
Canada
area
Ottawa
and
being
an
age-friendly
City.
In
fact,
it
was
an
initiative
of
this
council
in
the
past.
Council
had
got
us
to
that
position
where
we
have
an
age-friendly,
City
and
and
of
course,
councillor
Dean's
chairs
are
seniors
Roundtable
and
it
was
all
initiated
under
you,
mr.
S
N
N
C
C
So
it's
been
a
very
positive
and
I
can
certainly
relay
that
when
I
met
with
the
premier
and
various
ministers
at
Queen's
Park
with
our
delegation,
we
updated
the
provincial
government
and
they
offered
any
assistance
in
terms
of
the
bundling
and
challenges
with
working
with
two
different
sets
of
criteria.
So
I'm
feeling
very,
very
good
and
we
hope
to
be
able
to
announce
something
from
the
federal
government
in
the
not-too-distant
future.
Good.
N
N
The
I
thank
councilors,
caki
Shin
Brockington
for
bringing
up
so
many
of
the
questions
that
that
concern
our
South
End.
They.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
their
insightful
questions
in
terms
of
economic
development
and
and
delivering
those
games.
Should
we
win,
the
announcement
will
be
on
March
30th.
Do
you?
N
H
Scenario,
that's
a
great
question.
Then
it
came
up
last
week
when
we
had
the
big
committee
on
the
tour.
I
was
on
the
bus
with
them,
and
that
was
one
of
the
questions
they
put
to
me.
The
current
plan
is
that
we
will
have
bus
service,
enhanced
bus
service,
along
that
entire
corridor
and
mr.
Scrimgeour
and
his
team
have
been
tasked
with
making
it
the
the
best
it
can
be
and
it
will
be
phenomenal
was
the
service
and
that's
the
mandate
I've
given
him
and
the
mr.
H
N
For
that,
mr.
general
manager,
I
would
I
would
urge
you
to
to
keep
that
top
of
mind.
We
want
the
the
athletes
experience
from
across
the
country
to
be
to
the
capital
to
be
as
positive
as
possible.
Should
we
win
the
bid.
I
have
high
degree
of
confidence
and,
and
I
think
are
smashing.
New
LRT
line
would
be
would
be
a
great
way
to
to
feature
some
of
that
Mr
Man
Coney,
ooh
ooh
mr.
Suellen
captain.
Mr.
N
D
Things
are
a
bit
more
complicated
around
the
Parkway
Scott
Street,
that
sort
of
thing
and
Preston
Street.
But
here
again
mr.
Scrimgeour
and
his
team
are
planning
to
use
roads
that
applied
the
same
principles
that
we
used
for
our
phase,
1
limit
inconvenience
for
people
who
use
transit
and
also
pay
attention
to
all
the
space
that
we
need
for
our
detours.
And
the
other
thing
is
the
report
that
is
in
front
of
you
today.
D
H
H
H
H
This
is
an
opportunity
to
leverage
the
fact
that
we're
there
and
the
impact
on
ridership
in
that
three
and
a
half
kilometers
stretch
is
very,
very
minor
and
it
ranges
somewhere
between
zero
and
0.3%
and,
as
I
said
at
the
last
at
the
Fed
comedia
I
tasked
staff
to
review
the
numbers,
because
I
didn't
understand
all
of
the
assumptions
that
went
into
that.
So
the
numbers
have
been
revised
and
within
that
corridor,
it's
somewhere
between
zero
and
point
three
percent
on
ridership
and
revenue.
If.
K
I
could
just
add
to
the
417
question,
sorry
counselor,
because
you
asked
why
you
know
what's
factored
into
the
to
the
bundling
of
the
417
with
our
war
and
primarily
that's
around
the
structures.
That
project
recall
requires
the
replacement
of
several
of
the
overpasses
along
the
417
corridor.
A
number
of
those
are
directly
adjacent
right
beside
on
the
North,
where
we
run
the
BRT
corridor
currently,
which
is
being
converted
for
LRT,
between
Pine
Crest
and
in
debate
Shore.
K
So
from
a
construction
coordination
perspective,
it
is
imperative
what
you
know
you
can
design
where
the
cars
go
under
or
where
the
train
goes
under
an
overpass,
but
on
top
there's
a
roadway,
and
we
want
to
ensure
that
good,
solid
design
of
that
roadway
design.
We've
spoken
about
this
before
that
will
ensure
better
pedestrian
connectivity
across
the
corridor,
as
well
as
cycling
facilities
and
those
things
and
because
of
the
close
proximity
of
those
two
projects.
It's
much
better.
It's
much
more
cost
efficient.
K
It
reduces
a
lot
of
schedule
and
general
risks
along
the
project
as
well
to
have
them
coordinated
and
delivered
by
a
single
company,
and
also
for
that
section,
when
we
do
do
the
conversion
from
BRT
to
LRT.
Having
those
lanes
available
with
a
bit
of
additional
capacity
for
the
outside.
Fourth
lane
to
go
through
will
help
in
terms
of
delivering
the
service
reliability
piece
that
mr.
Menken
was
speaking
to
thank.
N
You
thank
you
mr.
Swale,
and
just
thanked
councilor
brockington
had
mentioned
how
much
we
in
the
south
end
appreciated
your
the
the
meeting
we
had
last
that
you
hosted
at
City
Hall
that
we
were
a
satellite
of
outstanding
answers.
Mr.
van
Coney
I
think
this
one's
for
you.
Can
you
comment
the
councillor
Dean's
mentioned
the
peer
review.
I,
don't
know
what
that
is.
Can
you
tell
me
what
a
peer
review
is
and
have
we
had
one?
Is
it
necessary
I.
H
My
professional
advice
to
you
would
be
that
you
do
not
need
a
peer
review
plan
and
for
a
bunch
of
reasons
the
first
and
foremost
is
you
approved
an
owner's
engineer
and
that's
an
independent
engineer.
I
think
the
budget
for
that
is
about
80
million
dollars.
That's
some
of
the
dates
that
I
talked
about.
Those
are
external
people
that
are
hired
to
come
in
and
bring
that
expertise.
H
Also,
you
had
IO
infrastructure
Ontario
a
part
of
the
process,
both
in
stage
one
and
certainly
a
lot
of
the
elements
of
stage
two.
You
also
have
strict
oversight
from
people
like
the
city
manager
and
the
treasurer
who
I
can
tell
you.
It's
very
pointed
questions
about
affordability,
about
challenges
about
assessments.
The
other
piece
is
the
lens
that
I
brought
to
it.
I
was
given
this
portfolio
from
mr.
Kenna
lacus
in
July,
when
he
did.
H
The
realignment
and
I
can
assure
you
that
I
did
a
lot
of
assessments
and
brought
in
people
to
give
me
their
review
of.
Where
are
we?
Where
is
the
plan
going
and
that's
not
criticism
to
mr.
swell
or
the
team?
That's
just
something
that
I
intuitively
do
when
I
inherit
new
portfolios
and
have
there
been
alarm
bells
or
concerns
or
misalignments,
on
affordability
or
on
governance
or
any
of
the
mandates
that
we
were
given
in
all
those
council
directions.
I
can
assure
you.
H
H
People
are
reading
this
report
and
they're
already
lining
up
to
come
and
talk
to
the
team
as
to
how
to
do
things.
I
see
nothing
from
my
professional
lens.
That
would
suggest
that
you
need
a
peer
review.
We
also
have
an
independent
lawyer
that
has
been
watching
this
from
every
angle
and
he's
been
on
very
large
scale
projects
in
Canada,
and
he
has
no
concerns.
Our
chief
procurement
officer
has
vetted
the
whole
process,
no
concerns
there
and
then,
when
we
get
into
procurement
phase,
we'll
have
an
independent
procurement
officer
overseeing
the
entire
thing.
N
You
I
have
no
other
questions,
so
I
guess
I
we're
commenting
now
and
I
have
to
thank
you
for,
for
you
and
your
team,
the
entire
team
for
all
the
work
you've
done
on
on
this
project.
It
is
a
I
I've
asked
a
lot
of
questions.
I
got
answers,
not
always
the
answers.
I
want,
but
absolutely
got
got
answers
on
this
project.
That
is
is
far
from
perfect.
We
are
bound
by
this
councils.
N
Past
decisions,
money
technology,
but
there
are
so
many
benefits
for
this
to
to
go
ahead
with
this
renewed
construction
at
the
Belfast
Yards
is
something
that
will
cause
disruption
to
our
community
I'm,
looking
forward
to
reduced
congestion
in
Alta
Vista,
a
result
of
the
trillium
line
coming
online
so,
like
councillor
Manette,
said,
I
urge
my
colleagues
to
support
this
entire,
to
have
the
courage
to
support
the
entire
report.
It
all
fits
together
from
an
operational
of
financial,
an
engineering
point
of
view.
Councillor
egg
lie,
I
think
use
the
analogy
of
a
jigsaw
puzzle.
N
I
would
use
the
analogy
of
a
casserole
that
has
specific
ingredients
in
certain
amounts
and
produces
a
whole
product.
It's
not
a
buffet
I
suspect
that
some
councillors,
who
want
to
vote
no
on
certain
aspects
of
this
of
this
report,
would
be
very
upset
if
it
wouldn't
go
through,
because
the
result
would
not
would
not
produce
what
our
residents
expect.
They
are
if
they
vote.
No,
they
expect
the
rest
of
Council
to
vote.
N
Yes
to
do
the
right
thing,
the
people
that
would
be
happy
if
we
didn't
approve
this
report
today
would
be
the
people
in
Hamilton
and
in
Thunder
Bay
and
in
Toronto,
because
they
would
suddenly
find
themselves
with
an
extra
billion
dollars
for
their
transit
projects.
So,
like
the
mayor,
said,
I
think
earlier,
it's
a
proud
day.
It's
a
bold
day,
it's
a
transformative
day
where
we
look
forward
to
the
future
and
it's
a
it's
a
time
to
be
bold
and
to
move
forward
and
again,
thank
you
for
your
for
your
work
on
this
project.
Q
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
mayor
and
like
many
of
many
others
today,
I'd
like
to
start
by
thanking
our
dedicated
staff
for
literally
years
of
hard
work
put
into
this
project
Chris
you
and
your
team
in
particular
mr.
Mahoney,
obviously
very
recently
taking
responsibility
for
the
project.
I
know
it's
been
thousands,
maybe
even
tens
of
thousands
of
hours
collectively
trying
it
to
figure
out
how
to
make
this
work
for
all
residents
of
Ottawa
and
I'd
like
to
bring
people
back
to
2010.
Q
When
many
of
us
most
of
us
I
think
started
December
1st
2010,
it
was
a
dark
and
stormy
night.
Actually,
mr.
mayor,
if
you
remember,
and
when
we
arrived
at
the
schenkman
Art
Center
that
night
for
our
swearing-in
ceremony,
I
recall
how
many
of
our
colleagues
commented
to
me
and
to
councillor
Manette
how
tough
it
was
to
get
to
the
Shankman
Arts
Center
at
six
o'clock
or
6:30
at
night,
in
rush-hour
traffic
heading
back
to
Orleans
and
for
perspective
for
people
who
aren't
as
familiar
with
Orleans
as
others.
Q
Shankman
arts
is
only
about
halfway
through
our
leans.
It's
quite
a
it's
quite
a
stretch
still
to
get
to
trim
road
and
I.
Think
that
helps
highlight
the
need
for
the
improvements
in
Iowa
174.
A
study
by
a
calm
which
everyone
understands
is
a
large
firm
that
does
work
in
this
area
says
that
the
travel
time
between
trim
Road
and
the
split
on
highway
174
if
people
were
flowing
at
the
speed
of
truck
at
the
posted
speed
limit,
should
only
take
nine
minutes
during
rush
hour.
Q
It
takes
23
minutes
and
that's
to
get
to
the
split,
which
is
basically
the
Sailor
station
to
get
into
the
downtown
you're
into
the
45
minutes
to
an
hour.
Lrt
from
trim
to
downtown
will
be
25
or
30
minutes.
That's
exceptional
service,
for
the
residents
of
Orleans
and
and
for
the
entirety
of
the
East
End.
Q
As
mr.
Mahoney
has
said,
a
relatively
modest,
cost-effective
expansion
of
a
short
piece
of
174
to
add,
as
a
carpool
lane,
will
not
dramatically
change
the
overall
ridership
of
our
system
here
in
Ottawa,
and
when
we
look
at
Arlene's
ridership
memo
from
John
Moser
in
in
2012
told
us
that
the
transit
modal
split
from
Orleans
to
downtown
is
64%.
Q
He
further
said
that
it's
likely
that
the
64%
transit
modal
split
from
Orleans
to
downtown
is
the
highest
suburban
to
downtown
transit
modal
split
in
North
America
for
a
city
of
our
size.
If
you're
taking
the
174
to
work,
you're
going
downtown,
that's
the
corridor,
you
take
to
go
downtown,
so
we
have
64
percent
modal
split
on
transit,
which
uses
the
highway
corridor
today
with
bus
lanes
and
the
highway
is
already
slower
by
a
factor
of
three
times
than
it
should
be.
It's
not
like
we're
not
expecting
population
growth
in
Orleans.
Q
Almost
half
of
the
urban
expansion
from
the
last
Opie
is
in
my
ward
alone,
and
that
doesn't
include
the
growth
in
councillor
Manette
supporter
or
counselor
Maddox.
If
all
things
were
being
equal
and
there
was
no
growth
happening
in
Orleans
forever,
then
perhaps
we
could
get
away
with
not
addressing
the
174,
but
that's
not
what's
happening
even
with
even
with
today's
population.
The
demand
is
there
for
both
transit
and
for
highway
capacity,
and
that
demand
will
only
grow
greater
as
we
move
forward
in
time
and
as
our
population
grows.
Q
I
did
a
little
research
preparing
for
the
meeting
today.
Mr.
mayor,
on
how
many
motions
County
reports
have
come
to
this
council
since
2010
talking
about
environmental
assessments,
recommendations
for
174
and
LRT
and
bundling
to
the
bundling
them
together,
there
are
at
least
six
or
seven
that
have
come
to
this
this
place
already.
All
of
them
have
passed
unanimously.
Q
If
there
was
a
desire
not
to
do
this
project
together,
why
has
it
been
voted
on
unanimously,
the
entire
time
now,
at
the
11th
hour,
people
on
a
cherry
pick
and
pull
it
out
and
I'm
also
called
to
remember
that
the
same
people
who
are
interested
in
cherry
picking
out
the
174
are
those
who
most
passionately
speak
about
the
need
to
widen
the
airport
Parkway.
At
the
same
time
as
extending
the
AU
train
further
south
and
extending
it
to
the
airport,
I
support
all
those
things,
I,
don't
think
they're
mutually
excuse
exclusive.
Q
We
need
a
multimodal
transportation
system
that
provides
options
for
everyone.
Not
everyone
can
walk
to
work.
Not
everyone
can
bike
to
work,
not
everyone
can
take
transit
to
work,
people
need
their
cars
or
their
trucks
for
their
jobs.
They
work
hot
hours.
Everyone
has
their
reasons.
We
need
a
complete
system
for
all
residents
of
Ottawa
and
I'm
very
proud
that
the
stage-two
plan
does
that
east
west
and
south
together.
Q
I
Thank
You
mayor
briefly,
I'm
excited
the
the
residents
kitc
asipi
are
excited,
stay
as
stage
2
moves
forward,
we're
going
to
convert
a
couple
of
stations
to
rail
and
we're
going
to
build
a
couple
of
new
rail
stations
and
each
of
those
stations
is
is
poised
to
improve
not
just
the
transit
access
to
our
award,
but
each
of
them
is
driving
cycling
and
pedestrian
connections
around
the
ward
as
well.
So
I
am
very
excited
today.
I
want
to
thank
staff
while
we're
approving
a
high-level
plan.
I
Today,
the
work
of
consultation
has
already
been
well
underway
on
stage
to
pretty
much
since
the
beginning
of
this
term.
I've
had
frequent
and
regular
meetings
with
the
affected
stakeholders
in
the
senior
LRT
team,
while
I
hear
that
we
are
delegating
a
lot
of
work
through
approval
of
this
plan
to
staff.
I
know
that
the
dialogue
between
my
office,
the
stage
2
team
residents
and
businesses
has
been
consistently
productive
on
issues
like
construction
impacts,
detours,
land
acquisitions
route
alignments
and
the
proposed
station
oriented
development
at
Cleary.
I
I
want
to
ask
today
staff
to
make
sure
that
they
continue
in
this
spirit
of
collaboration
with
residents
concomitant
with
the
benefits
of
LRT.
We
also
have
the
impacts
of
the
construction
of
LRT,
it's
critical
to
me
and
to
residents
that
we
continue
to
take
every
measure
necessary
to
mitigate
the
impact
of
the
mitigate
those
impacts
and
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
the
lines
of
communication
open
between
the
senior
LRT
team
and
residents.
I
It's
been
a
very
good
discussion
moving
forward
and
if
LRT
is
going
to
be
a
success,
we'll
need
to
make
sure
that
those
lines
of
communications
stay
open
for
the
next
several
years
as
well.
So
thank
you
to
the
senior
LRT
team.
Thank
you
to
the
council,
who
are
voting
to
approve
a
project
that
is
really
going
to
improve
transit
in
kitchen,
Sippy,
Ward
and
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
seeing
shovels
in
the
ground,
Thank
You,
meryt
right.
J
K
K
I
guess
a
couple
of
things
that
I
should
just
clarify
the
business
case
that
accompanied
the
stage
2
report
for
the
functional
design
back
in
2015
was
updated,
based
on
actual
ridership
numbers.
We
had
in
that
business
case
been
projecting
ridership
forward
from
2011,
and
we
hadn't
taken
the
time
to
realign
what
our
current
ridership
was,
and
so
the
the
changes
you
see
between
the
two
reports
are
simply
a
reflection
of
resetting
the
baseline
for
ridership
and
updating
it.
K
And
then
we
wanted
to
provide,
as
the
treasurer
spoke
to
before
you
know,
stretch
out
the
growth
that
we
could
anticipate
in
order
to
create
a
little
bit
more
resiliency
in
the
overall
affordability
model.
So
the
other
differences.
We
stretched
out
that
growth
to
be
a
little
bit
less
of
a
sharp
increase
that
had
previously
been
calibrated
in
order
to
inoculate
ourselves
and
provide
you
know
more
resiliency
or
flexibility
in
the
overall
system
to
assure
ourselves
that
it
was
affordable.
G
K
J
Even
if
we
hit
our
goals
in
this
plan,
but
on
the
purchase
of
property,
I
still
don't
see
a
defensible
reason
for
not
having
transparency
on
the
purchases.
It's
fine
to
say
that
on
phase
one
that's
worked
well.
So
far
else
works.
We
don't
know
if
it's
worked
well
so
far,
because
we
haven't
disclosed
the
the
results,
but
knowing
the
way
the
expropriation
process
works,
we're
not
in
a
free
market
system.
J
When
we
purchase
that
property
and
we
aren't
subject
to
the
same
sort
of
things
we
would
be
subject
to
force
just
looking
at
ad
appraisals,
I
I
hope
this
is
all
a
question
of
putting
together
a
puzzle
and
have
all
the
pieces
in
the
puzzle.
I
hope
it's
like
a
puzzle
and
I
hope
it
doesn't
turn
into
something
like
a
game
of
Clue
where
we're
looking
for
what
went
wrong
after
it's
too
late
to
do
anything
about
it.
J
So
I
will
descent
on
on
the
section
I
guess
it's
for
c4
and
but
obviously
I
support
the
improvements
to
the
project
that
we've
managed
to
put
in
place
over
the
last
several
months
and
I.
Think
we've
made
the
right
decision
about
moving
the
MSF
to
Moody
I.
Think
that's
going
to
be
the
cheapest
decision
in
the
long
run.
J
We
don't
have
a
second
set
of
eyes
looking
at
that
either,
but
based
on
the
information
we
have
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
great
improvement
to
transit
in
Ottawa
and
I.
Think
it's
going
to
be
something
that
will
change
the
way
people
live
and
change.
Actually,
how
some
of
the
communities
are
constituted
in
the
city
and
probably
in
a
good
way,
so
with
the
caveat
that
I'll
descent
on
the
lack
of
transparency
on
foresee
for
all
support
it.
Thank.
S
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
part
of
this
today,
because
I
believe
this
is
truly
historic
for
all
citizens
of
Ottawa.
The
the
vote
that
we're
about
to
undertake
for
the
service
that
we're
planning
for
the
future
for
this
city,
I'm
thinking
back
I
kind
of
taken
a
memory,
a
stroll
down
memory
lane
today
and
I'm
remember
in
2010
when
I
first
ran
to
be
part
of
this
council.
S
That
I
was
telling
people
when
the
question
would
come
up
about
LRT
at
the
doors
I
would
say
under
that
plan
that
we
were
looking
at
in
2010
the
the
likelihood
of
someone
starting
their
career
in
2010,
they
would
probably
be
retired.
By
a
time
the
train
would
come
to
Canada.
Well,
now,
a
little
more
than
a
year
and
a
half
ago
we
started
the
process
of
looking
at
getting
that
train
closer
out
to
Canada.
S
We
started
the
a
process
with
the
help
of
our
RMP
from
Canada
Karam
cribben,
helping
us
get
the
money
to
get
that
EI
done
and
started.
I
should
say
a
Kannada.
It's
now
realistic
that
the
the
trains
will
be
there.
Maybe
before
I
retire,
I
I'm
excited
that
it's
at
Moody
as
part
of
this
plan
too,
because
Moody
is
really
the
front
door
into
Kannada.
S
Just
to
start
the
planning
process
so
I
think
it's
historic
I
think
it's
our
step
towards
a
citywide
transit
service,
it
with
the
changes
to
the
old
train
and
so
on,
where
the
the
south
of
Ottawa
is
being
brought
into.
The
plan
with
councilor
Harder's
motion
today
makes
a
even
closer
to
even
more
homeowners
out
to
our
you
know
our
biggest
Ward
in
the
city,
so
I
hope
Council
will
support
this
motion.
Today,
I'm
I'm
nervous
a
little
when
I
hear
people
wanting
to
do
like
they.
S
They
want
it
to
do
what
Lansdowne
and
with
the
other
LRT
plan,
instead
of
hitting
a
reset
button
now
they're
talking
about
hitting
the
pause
button,
I
hope
my
colleagues
don't
support
any
kind
of
move
like
that.
We
have
a
really
good
plan
thanks
to
your
leadership,
mr.
Mehra
and
the
hard
work
of
our
city
staff
to
come
up
with
this
plan,
I
think
it's
an
affordable
plan
for
our
city
for
going
forward.
It'll,
be
the
users
of
the
system,
we'll
be
paying
the
bills
for
the
system
that
we
are
laying
out
today
and
I.
S
C
Thank
you
very
much,
don't
sue
anyone
else
wish
to
speak
or
ask
questions
on
the
report.
I'll
offer
a
couple
of
comments.
I've
enjoyed
the
historical
perspective.
Members
have
brought
to
the
table.
Certain
members
have
brought
to
the
table
because,
if
you
do
recall
back
six
years
ago,
there
was
really
no
plan
to
bring
world
class
transit
to
auto.
Well,
there's
no
realistic
plan,
it
was
not
affordable
and
certainly
when
we
had
discussions
with
the
federal
and
provincial
governments.
C
Quite
frankly,
they
didn't
take
us
all
that
seriously
because
we
did
not
have
our
act
together
today.
We're
voting
on
a
plan
that
will
bring
modern,
efficient,
environmentally
friendly
LRT
to
all
parts
of
the
city
and
we're
building
farther
faster
than
anyone
believed
possible.
Six
years
ago,
when
we
engage
with
our
partners,
we
engage
with
a
strong,
credible
plan
and
I
want
to
thank
our
staff,
and
certainly
members
of
council
have
expressed
our
appreciation
to
the
staff.
C
What
they've
done
over
the
last
four
years
to
pull
this
plan
together,
a
plan
that
is
fraught
with
challenges
and
complexity.
When
we
procure
stage
two
of
LRT
I,
hope
members
of
council
will
take
pride
in
the
magnitude
of
this
accomplishment.
Sometimes
it's
easy
to
miss
the
forest
for
the
trees,
but
I
invite
members
of
council
to
take
a
step
back
really.
C
Our
role
as
legislators
is
to
not
row
the
boat,
but
it's
the
steer
the
boat
to
be
in
the
crow's
nest,
looking
out
30,000
feet
and
to
give
direction
to
staff
which
we
did
and
as
staff
with
the
professional
advice
from
consultants
and
experts
around
the
world.
Today,
we're
procuring
a
rail
system
that
will
bring
LRT
to
within
five
kilometres
of
70%
of
our
rest,
our
residents
suite
fum,
the
travail
I'm.
B
C
And
I'd
encourage
members
to
listen
to
the
members
from
the
East
End
who
know
their
community
so
well,
who
understands
some
of
the
transportation
and
transit
challenges
that
that
part
of
the
community
has
faced,
and
quite
frankly,
that
has
stunted
some
of
the
economic
growth,
because
there
has
not
been
the
easy
access,
as
residents
in
the
West
End
have
with
for
17.
A
few
months
ago,
we
signed
off
on
a
package
of
317
million
dollars
in
transit
and
active
transportation
improvements.
C
The
improvements
to
the
174
represent
less
than
10%
of
that
act
of
Transportation
investment,
and
it
was
carried
with
the
strong
support
of
all
members
of
council.
Now
today
we
have
some
members
of
council
who
want
to
widen
the
airport,
Parkway
and
Wan
LRT
to
the
south
end,
but
don't
want
to
turn
one
lane
into
an
HOV
Lane,
which
is
good
for
the
environment
and
have
LRT
go
out
to
the
East
End.
It
doesn't
make
any
sense.
C
So
it's
all
about
balance
and
I
believe
that
this
package
and
I
call
it
a
package,
is
incredibly
balanced
and
is
well
supported
by
the
residents
of
the
east
west,
south
and
downtown.
I
really
believe
that
our
city
is
on
the
cusp
of
great
things,
but
that
greatness
comes
with
courage:
the
courage
of
our
convictions
as
we
move
from
Ottawa
the
old
to
Ottawa.
The
bold
I'd
encourage
all
members
of
council
to
have
the
courage
of
the
convictions
and
support
this
plan.
C
Its
entirety
and
I
want
to
also
particularly
thank
members
of
council
who
have
worked
hard
on
the
particular
amendments
that
we
have
before
us.
For
instance,
on
the
issue
of
no
a
day
doesn't
go
by
when
someone
doesn't
come
up
to
me
and
say
what
are
we
going
to
do
to
improve
the
north-south
connectivity
between
the
province
of
Quebec
in
the
city
of
Gatineau
and
the
province
of
Ontario,
and
the
City
of
Ottawa?
I
want
to
thank
councilors
egg
lie
and
leaper.
C
C
A
mandate
to
enter
into
formal
discussions
with
the
city
of
gat
know
about
how
to
better
connect
our
two
cities
and
think
about
it.
You
all
have
constituents
who
live
in
Ottawa
and
work
in
gatineau
and
Mayor
Maxime
Pinole
Joba
has
exactly
the
opposite,
live
and
got
no
work
in
Ottawa.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
a
win-win
for
both
cities.
C
If
we
improve
the
transit
experience
for
the
residents
travelling
between
our
two
cities,
we
can
strengthen
the
economies,
improve
the
environment
by
reducing
the
number
of
buses
traveling
on
our
bridges
and
in
both
directions,
and
we
can
strengthen
our
respective
tourism
sectors
new
caliber
all
day,
Shaw
I
met
CL,
the
charisma
and
the
depth.
We.
C
Transit
infrastructure
and
act
of
mobility
that
will
move
people
more
efficiently
for
generations
to
come.
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
David
McGinty,
chair
of
the
National
Capital
Region
Liberal
caucus
for
his
leadership
and
that
of
his
federal
colleagues
on
this
issue.
I
also
will
work
on
this
issue
with
the
chairs
of
transit,
councillor
bleh
and
transportation
councillor
egg
line
as
these
discussions
with
Gatineau
progress.
If
the
motion
passes
later
today,
should
this
exploratory
dialogue
lead
to
any
specific
proposals,
I'll
be
reporting
back
on
that
through
the
appropriate
Standing
Committee.
C
In
due
course,
we
have
spoke
spoken
frequently
about
the
need
to
strengthen
transit
connectivity
between
our
two
great
cities.
There's
no
better
time
to
signal
our
intent
to
act
jointly
with
the
city
of
Gatineau
working
to
improve
the
over
the
long
term,
our
inter
provincial
transit
system
for
all
our
residents
and
as
the
city
continues
to
make
progress
in
a
number
of
city
building
opportunities,
including
the
lebreton
proposal,
zipping,
the
main
library
stage,
two
LRT
to
moody,
to
trim
to
Algonquin
College
into
Bulls,
ville
and
Riverside
south.
We
have
to
continue
and
the
airport.
C
Rather,
we
have
to
continue
to
see
our
two
cities
and
as
an
economic
unit
that
competes
for
jobs
and
talent
around
the
world.
In
practical
terms,
we
need
to
have
a
frank
dialogue
with
the
city
of
Gatineau
about
how
we
could
use
the
prince
of
wales
bridge
to
improve
rapid
transit
and
active
mobility
between
our
two
cities
and,
as
you
know,
or
some
of
you
may
know,
the
rapid
boost
system
is
up
and
running
in
gatineau.
C
The
station
at
tache
boulevard
would
be
the
ideal
connection
with
our
Oh
train,
to
bring
passengers
from
Gatineau
to
Ottawa
and
Ottawa
to
Gatineau
back
into
the
rappy
bus
system,
and
I
want
to
be
perfectly
clear
that
this
is
not
about
stage
1
or
stage
2
of
Ottawa's
transit
plan.
This
is
about
laying
out
a
clear
vision
for
stage
1
of
an
Ottawa
Gatineau
transit
plan
for
the
long
term
that
doesn't
necessarily
respect
and
and
spend
too
much
time
worrying
about
jurisdictions
and
boundaries.
C
The
reality
is,
if
you
live
in
Ottawa
and
you
work
at
plasti
port,
a
short
Alaska
LaHood's
year,
you've
got
to
get
over
the
bridge
and
none
of
us
I
think
around
this
table,
or
very
few
of
us
want
to
get
into
another
Bridge
debate
the
division
beta.
We
saw
that
hit
at
one
region
against
the
other
and
councillor
Tierney's
area
and
councillor,
certainly
Nussbaum
with
kennel
Island.
So
I'm
asking
you
members
of
council
when
this
motion
comes
forward
to
support
it
as
well.
C
C
There
know
that
we
have
a
real
challenge
with
nine
to
ten
thousand
D
and
E
employees
coming
to
Moody
Drive
with
very
few
transit
options,
and
we
know
the
number
of
DND
employees
RCMP
employees
that
live
in
the
East
End
a
disproportionate
number
and
without
some
kind
of
an
option
such
as
rapid
transit
to
that
area.
It
would
be
very
difficult,
time-consuming
and
clog
our
east-west
connector
lanes
to
get
those
employees
from
the
East
End
to
the
West
End.
So
this
is
very
much
a
down
payment
on
our
ultimate
goal.
C
So
it's
a
perfect
scenario:
that's
coming
up
and
I'd
urge
you
to
also
support
that
motion,
as
well
as
councillor
cadres
motion
with
respect
to
us
at
least
examining
the
option
of
the
Moody
Drive,
Park
and
Ride.
We've
seen
the
success
of
the
park
and
rides
and
other
parts
of
the
city
and
I
think
those
just
make
good
sense
and
also
that
monster
Seton
moment.
So
it's.
B
C
The
entire
package,
so
we're
gonna
go
to
the
motions.
Now
the
first
one
is
councillor

seconded
by

Whatever
the
base
is
in
2014,
it
looked
like
it
was
a
little
bit
lower
and
now
we're
projecting
a
2%
increase
in
2019
and
I'm.
Just
wondering
what
were
the
I
don't
know
who
I'm
speaking
to
actually
yeah
Marian?
Okay,
so
just
wondering
again,
I
understand
that
our
base
is
lower
than
we
had
hoped.
But
what
would
be
the
reasons
why
our
expected
growth
in
2019
are
lower
now
than
we
had
hoped
for
either
in
2014
or
2011?.
B
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Quite
simply,
as
I
indicated
before,
we
took
a
very
conservative
approach
with
respect
to
revenues.
So
when
it
came
to
ridership,
we
basically
tried
to
mirror
what
we've
been
seeing
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
We
extended
it
a
little
bit
further
out.
We
took
a
more
conservative
approach
than
we
have
in
the
past,
so
is.
B
C
Next
is
a
disposition
of
items
approved
by
committees
under
delegated
authority
sweeter
than
it
is
optically
ratify
a
valium
it.
They
are
well
suited
to
the
proof.
While

adopt

Thank

The
next
motion
is
from
councillor

by
councillor

on

The
rules
with
respect
to
Prince

Wales
on
suspension
carried
councillor
cactus,
please
Thank.
L
You
Mara,
this
is
in
regards
to
intersection
modifications,
project
for
Prince
of
Wales
and
staff
of
come
back
and
advise
us
that
a
certain
stretch
of
the
work
requires
rehab
instead
of
repaving,
and
therefore
we
need
some
additional
money.
So
this
motion
is
moving
that
and
we're
doing
it
today
because
of
the
timeline
sensitivity
with
the
tendering
which
we
need
to
go
to
as
soon
as
possible.
L
So
that
therefore
treat
that
City
Council
approved
the
capital
Authority
for
the
2017
resurfacing
program
to
complete
the
Prince
of
Wales

north

her
drive
to
Hunt
Club
Road
reconstruction
project
be
increased
by
4.7
million
to
be
funded,
to
attack,
supported
debt
and
be
it
therefore
resolved
that
the
general
manager
of
corporate
services
and
city
treasurer
be
directed
to
review
the
projects
coming
forward
as
part
of
the
capital
closing
import
to
identify
the
most
important
method
of
refinancing
this
additional
authority.
I.
C
Just
want
to
thank
the
treasurer
for
working
with
Serge
ARP
and
counselor
de
Roos
and
caucus
as
well
as
the
chair
of
Transportation
I,
think
we
had
some
challenges
initially
when
it
was
a
transportation.
But
thanks
to
the
leadership
of
the
chair,
we
were
able
to
resolve
that
to
everyone's
satisfaction
and
with
the
support
of
the
treasurer.
So
I
appreciate
that
councillor
brockington
on
this
motion.
R
Thank
you.
Your
worship,
just
I've,
spoke
to
the
chair
of
Transportation
Committee
and
councillor
caucus
and
do
support
what
they're
moving
I
just
have
a
question
about
the
debt.
That's
going
to
be
incurred
to
to
finance
this
in
the
in
in
the
future.
When
the
resurfacing
was
going
to
be
done
anyway,
will
those
monies
at
that
time
be
to
pay
off
the
debt?
At
that
point,.
B
No,
the
intention
actually
is
is
that
when
we
come
forward
with
the
capital
closed,
an
adjustment
report
which
is
I
think,
is
two
months
away
at
that
time.
There's
debt,
that's
already
we
close
projects
and
if
there's
debt
authorized
on
projects
that
are
clothes
that
are
in
surplus,
that
debt
is
eliminated,
so
I'm
looking
to
offset
this
new
depth
with
debt.
That
would
be
a
limited
eliminated
through
the
closing
process
and
all
of
the
debt
you've
already
authorized
is
already
within
within
the
budget.
Authority.
Okay,.
C
O
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
this
is
the
annual
notice
of
motion
of
motion
for
the
Bank
Street
Business
Improvement
area
to
host
their
annual
glow,
fair
music
light
art
event
and
because
our
by
law
prohibits
road
closure
before
6
p.m.
Monday
to
Friday.
This
just
will
approve
the
road
closure
for
Bank
Street
and
Gloucester
Street
from
1
p.m.
on
Friday
to
to
Sunday.
So
this
is
a
notice
of
motion
for
next
council.
Thank
you
all.
