Ottawa City Council & Media Availability

A
B
You
very
much
mayor
for
the
opportunity
to
address
my
colleagues
City
staff,
as
well
as
constituents
from
West
Carlton
March
and
right
across
the
city
of
Ottawa
in
the
region.
Springtime
always
comes
with
heightened
anxiety
for
many
in
Ward
5
who
live
within
or
near
the
Ottawa
River
Watershed
the
spring
fresh.
It
is
always
something
that
is
watched
closely,
but
this
year
many
indicators
of
potential
flooding
were
there
going
all
the
way
back
to
January
when
the
conditions
of
the
snowpack
mirrored
the
conditions.
B
At
the
same
time,
in
2019,
when
many
residence
homes
were
destroyed
and
lives
were
upended
by
record
flooding.
So
in
the
Mississippi
Valley
conservation
Authority
issued
a
flood
warning
for
the
lower
Ottawa
on
the
minds
of
many
residents.
Quick,
the
minds
of
many
residents
quickly
turned
to
the
struggles
of
2017
and
2019..
There
was
much
apprehension
and
fear
when
the
warning
was
issued,
but
what
happened
next
was
extremely
encouraging
and
heartwarming
for
me,
especially
as
a
new
counselor
dealing
with
something
like
this.
B
For
the
first
time,
the
operations
center
LED,
the
Emergency
Operations
Center,
led
by
Beth
Gooding,
was
outstanding
and
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
the
strong
leadership
and
guidance
of
the
operations
on
the
ground
by
Jim
Lethbridge,
who
worked
day
and
night
every
day
last
week,
as
well
as
on
the
weekends
to
ensure
that
affected
communities
were
supported
and
that
there
were
always
sufficient
supplies
on
hand
to
continue
our
flood
response
operations.
The
city
showed
a
willingness
and
ability
to
be
flexible
and
adapt
to
the
changing
needs
of
the
residents
and
volunteers.
B
The
effort
and
investment
by
the
city
of
Ottawa
on
its
staff
and
supporting
people
through
this
difficult
time
were
exceptional
and
very
much
appreciated
by
the
residents
of
West
Carlton
March
to
my
colleagues
around
this
table.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
those
counselors,
as
well
as
the
mayor
who
reached
out
with
words
of
encouragement
and
advice
and
a
very
special
thank
you
to
the
counselors
who
took
time
to
come
out
to
Ward
five
with
their
family
members
and
their
teams
or
by
themselves
to
help
assist
in
filling
sandbags
and
building
walls.
B
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
councilor
Hill,
counselor,
Devine,
counselor,
Lowe,
counselor,
plot
plant
and
counselor
Carr,
for
making
the
trip
out
to
the
ward
and
helping
people
with
the
efforts.
I
must
also
thank
councilor
Curry
for
helping
coordinate
the
sandbag
filling
efforts
by
high
school
students
in
Canada,
north
and
I
can
assure
you
that
that
made
a
big
difference
for
people
during
a
stressful
and
difficult
time
and
seeing
counselors
from
other
Awards
come
out
was
another
reminder
that
the
city
is
there
for
residents
when
they
need
it.
B
Finally,
I
must
thank
all
the
residents
and
local
volunteers
and
businesses
that
chipped
in
to
assist
in
these
efforts,
including
my
old
high
school
West
Carrollton
secondary
school,
where
students
filled
over
9
000
sandbags
in
one
day
when
something
like
this
happens.
It
takes
more
than
just
the
city
and
some
trucks
full
of
sand
to
help
people.
It
takes
many
people
giving
their
personal
time
doing
the
hard
work
of
filling
and
carrying
sandbags
and
the
back-breaking
work
of
building
walls.
B
It
takes
donations
of
money,
supplies,
food
and,
of
course,
lots
and
lots
of
coffee
to
keep
these
efforts
going
to
all
the
people
that
came
not
just
from
across
the
city,
but
right
across
eastern
Ontario
and
Western
Quebec
to
sandbag,
donate
money
or
make
and
deliver
food.
We
could
not
have
gone
through
this
without
you,
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
and
thank
West
Carleton
disaster
relief
for
their
amazing
work
and
coordinating
volunteers
as
well
as
volunteer
operations.
B
Your
experience
from
2017
and
2019
floods,
as
well
as
other
natural
disasters
in
our
area,
have
been
invaluable
in
the
efforts
over
the
last
week.
It's
never
a
pleasure
to
fight
fight
flooding,
but
it
was
a
pleasure
to
work
alongside
your
organization,
while
I'm
hopeful
that
we
are
through
the
worst
of
the
flooding.
We
remain
Vigilant
as
a
community
and
the
Emergency
Operations
Center
remains
active.
B
The
next
week
will
be
important
as
we
continue
to
monitor
the
water
levels
and
what
may
be
coming
our
way
from
the
northern
part
of
the
basement,
but
thanks
to
the
efforts
from
those
in
our
community,
the
city
of
Ottawa,
as
well
as
my
fellow
counselors
I'm,
confident
as
as
I
ever,
have
been
that
if
more
water
comes
our
way,
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
the
community
will
be
ready
to
act
as
necessary.
Thank
you
again
to
everyone.
Who's
involved
in
these
efforts.
A
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
in
your
community
and
responding
to
this
to
this
crisis
and
I.
Think
we've
seen
in
the
last
few
weeks
a
number
of
examples
of
of
counselors
helping
other
counselors
in
their
in
their
Wards,
as
there
have
been
issues
with
with
electricity,
outages
and
and
with
flooding
and
and
and
other
challenges,
so
I'm
grateful
to
all
of
you
for
your
collaboration
and
support
of
each
other.
So
thank
you
all
right,
I
will
ask
the
deputy
clerk
now
to
please
do
the
Roll
Call.
C
Here:
counselor
Curry
here
counselor
Kelly
present
councilor
Gower,
your
counselor
Kavanaugh
president
councilor
Johnson
counselor
Devine,
here
counselor
Bradley,
here

concert.
You
see:
counselor
King
peer
counselor
truster,
here
councilor
Leeper
good
morning,
counselor
Brockington,
here,
counselor
Menard,
president
counselor
Carr,
here
counselor
kits
yeah.
C
A
A
A
11.2
is
the
appointment
to
the
Police
Services
Board,
so
the
report
recommendation
is
that
further
to
the
deliberations
of
the
selection
panel
Council
one
approved
the
appointment
of
Gail
Beck
to
the
Police
Services
Board,
with
her
term
to
be
effective
upon
Council
approval
for
the
2022-2026
term
of
council
and
two
recommend
that
the
Police
Services
Board
a
point:
Gale
Beck
as
chair
for
the
2022
to
2026
term
of
council
I'll.
Just
take
a
moment
here
to
thank
the
members
of
the
selection
committee,
councilor
Curry
and
counselor
King.
A
Dr
Beck
is
an
outstanding
individual,
with
a
terrific
reputation
in
our
community
who
has
served
on
other
boards,
including
Algonquin
College,
and
has
significant
governance
experience
and
is
also
a
leader
in
the
area
of
mental
health.
Obviously,
as
the
psychiatrist
in
Chief
at
the
Royal
Ottawa
Hospital,
she
holds
a
number
of
other
leadership
roles
at
the
hospital
and
has
been
a
passionate
advocate
for
youth
mental
health
in
our
community
for
many
years
and
I
think
we'll
do
an
outstanding
job
as
the
as
the
chair.
A
At
this
time
serving
on
the
Police
Services
Board
I
also
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
Suzanne
Valley
K,
who
has
been
the
the
citizen,
the
council
appointee
from
the
community
to
the
police
board
and
has
been
serving
as
the
interim
chair
since
the
last
term
of
council
ended
when
Suzanne
was
asked
to
rejoin
the
board
after
having
previously
served
on
it,
she
probably
figured
it
would
just
be
till
the
end
of
the
term
of
council.
She
probably
didn't
think
she
would
be
stepping
into
the
role
of
chair.
A
She
did
that
with
a
lot
of
energy
and
enthusiasm
and
a
lot
of
integrity
and
thoughtfulness,
and
she
endured
a
couple
of
extensions
to
that
interim
mandate,
because
it
took
us
a
little
longer
to
complete
the
selection
process
than
we
originally
anticipated.
So
I
I
want
to
thank
Suzanne
for
her
extraordinary
service
to
our
community
and
for
all
the
often
thankless
work
that
she
put
into
that
role.
A
A
Let's
move
to
item
12
the
built
Heritage
committee
report
item
12.1
is
the
designation
of
Iona
Mansions
11
23
to
1131
Wellington,
Street
West
under
part
four
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
Act,
and
the
committee
recommendation
that
council
issue
a
notice
of
intention
to
designate
that
property.
According
to
the
statement
of
cultural
heritage,
value
is
attached
as
document
5.
Is
that
carried
all
right
item
12.2?
There
are
some
motions
related
to
that
so
we'll
hold
that
item.
12.3
is
update
and
conservation
options
for
the
hintonburg
pumping
station.
A
Item
13,
emergency
preparedness
and
protective
services
committee
13.1
is
the
bylaw
and
Regulatory
Services
2021
and
2022
annual
reports
is
that
received
item.
14
is
the
environment
and
climate
change
committee
item
14.1,
climate
change,
master
plan
annual
status
update
are
those
recommendations
carried.
A
A
Item
16
is
the
Transit
Commission
report.
16.1,
the
council
received
a
light
rail
regulatory
Monitor
and
compliance
officer.
Annual
report
detached
as
document
one
is
that
received
and
item
16.2
is
recommendations
for
the
light
rail
regulatory
monitor
compliance
officer
contract.
Is
that
carried
all
right
item?
17
is
the
transportation
committee
and
we
will
hold
that
for
discussion.
A
A
A
G
Thank
you,
your
worship,
I
do
have
an
amending
motion.
Colleagues.
At
its
last
meeting,
the
built
Heritage
committee
approved
a
motion
Advanced
by
a
former
public
member
of
the
committee
amending
a
staff
report
to
recommend
that
Council
proceed
with
Heritage
designation
of
the
former
Canadian
Pacific
Railway
Bridge
Under
part
four
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
acts
as
chair
of
the
committee.
I
did
not
support
this
motion
since,
like
City
staff,
I
believe
it
is
premature
to
approve
Heritage
designation
at
this
time.
G
I
believe
a
proper
procedural
process
entails
City
Staff
first
undertaking
a
full
environmental
assessment
of
the
bridge,
while
Heritage
staff
has
determined
that
the
bridge
has
some
cultural
value.
I
concur
with
their
opinion
that
a
renewal
study
should
be
conducted
to
obtain
all
relevant
data
and
review
all
options
before
a
staff
recommendation
to
committee
and
Council
concerning
designation
is
made.
An
assessment
report
in
2018
concluded
that
the
bridge
is
in
overall
poor
condition
and
presented
two
options:
major
Rehabilitation
or
structure
replacement.
G
Only
a
comprehensive
evaluation
of
both
options
through
a
multi,
a
municipal
class
environmental
assessment
process
can
determine
the
best
way
forward.
The
environmental
assessment
process
is
important
since
it
provides
the
opportunity
for
both
asset
management
and
Heritage
staff
to
collectively
apply
their
full
expertise
to
determine
the
cost,
utility
and
feasibility
of
both
options.
The
environmental
assessment
process
is
also
important,
since
it
enables
meaningful
public
consultation
with
residents
since
the
bridge
serves
many
communities
and
is
an
important,
pedestrian
and
cycling
link.
G
It
is
important
to
note
that
Heritage
staff
undertakes
its
role
concerning
Heritage
designation
in
a
highly
professional
and
diligent
Manner
and
has
designated
nearly
90
city-owned
assets.
There
is
no
double
standard
concerning
the
designation
of
city-owned
property.
There
are
only
good
Professional
Standards
which
consider
cultural
and
Technical
Assessments
in
a
holistic
manner.
G
Be
it
resolved
that
the
committee
recommendation
be
amended
to
replace
recommendation
recommendation
three
with
the
original
staff
recommendation
as
follows:
direct
staff
to
report
back
to
Heritage
to
build
Heritage
committee
on
the
findings
of
the
municipal
class
environmental
assessment
and
provide
a
recommendation
regarding
designation
under
part
four
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
Act.
Thank
you
mayor.
B
B
Don't
imagine
that
a
hundred
percent
of
the
time
we
will
agree
with
them
and
so
I,
don't
think
that
the
chair
concurring
with
the
staff
should
change
the
recommendation
of
the
committee
and
the
vote
that
was
made
at
committee
should
be
reflected
in
the
recommendation
here.
Thank
you
very
much
mayor.
Okay,.
A
H
H
I'm
talking
about
the
McDonald
County
bridge
and
the
trucks
on
King,
Edward
I
think
it's
very
best
that
we
rip
this
Band-Aid
off
and
we
give
it
the
Heritage
designation
it
deserves,
because
you
do
not
want
to
be
in
the
position
that
I
find
my
myself
and
my
residents
find
ourselves
in
where
people
are
squabbling
over
who's,
going
to
pay
for
what
who's
going
to
put.
What
where
it
really
makes,
it
really
makes
the
issue
a
lot
more
complicated
if
we
don't
deal
with
it,
a
La
Source.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
A
J
Thank
you
mayor
first
I'm,
not
sure
why
we
started
off
talking
about
the
value
of
our
public
appointees
to
this
committee.
I
just
went
through
with
my
colleagues
an
appointment
process
vetted
the
people
who
were
just
appointed
to
this
committee
and
they
are
highly
a
professional
and
experienced
and
equal
Partners
on
this
committee,
so
appreciate
their
service,
appreciated
working
on
this
committee,
the
last
term
of
council
and
knowing
the
four
appointees
true
professionals
Who,
provided
significant
input
and
value
to
this.
J
The
former
subcommittee
and
I'm
sure
the
four
people
who
have
just
been
appointed
will
do
the
same,
so
I
certainly
appreciate
their
service,
and
we
had
the
four
citizen
appointees
sitting
in
the
gallery
last
term,
when
we
were
debating
the
shadow
Laurier,
all
four
voted
against
the
proceeding
with
Shadow
Laurier
plans
and
Council
overwrote.
It
Council
decided
to
go
their
own
way.
So
it's
procedurally
correct
for
counselor
King
to
move
this
motion
and
if
people
don't
like
it,
they
can
vote
against
it
and
we
can
go
back
to
what
the
subcommittee
has
proposed.
J
J
So
I
think
what
I
heard
in
counselor
King's
introduction
is
that
before
a
designation
is
undertaken,
there
is
significant
value
in
proceeding
with
a
full
environmental
assessment
of
the
bridge
to
wrap
our
head
around
the
state
of
the
bridge
and
I
understand
a
renewal
study
that
needs
to
be
conducted
first
as
well
so
I'd
like
staff
to
comment
on
you
know
the
original
recommendation
was
not
to
designate.
Obviously
the
committee
had
a
difference
of
opinion
on
that,
but
I
want
staff
to
elaborate
on
why
that
environmental
assessment
should
be
conducted
first,
why?
K
I
Thanks
Mr
herwire
I'll
start
first,
then
my
colleague
Miss
Johns,
will
speak
to
the
EA
process
so
focusing
on
Heritage
chair
through
the
EA
process.
We'll
have
three
deliverables:
we'll
have
a
cultural
heritage,
evaluation
report,
a
Heritage
impact
assessment
and
a
conservation
plan
coming
out
of
the
EA
process.
So
that
really
will
guide
staff
in
terms
of
the
conservation
options,
cost
options
and
lifespan
options
of
the
existing
Bridge.
So
we
believe
that
those
three
components
are
essential
to
make
a
fully
informed
decision.
I'll
pass
it
over
to
Mr
John
stellabric
on
the
EA.
L
L
It
plays
many
other
roles
to
the
community
to
the
active
Transportation
Network
and
it's
a
is
a
very
long-standing
and
important
Link
in
in
our
Network
as
Heritage
is
a
characteristic
there's
more
information
to
learn
about
Heritage,
but
there's
more
information
to
learn
about
the
other
roles
and
purposes
that
the
that
the
bridge
serves.
The
environmental
assessment
will
document
all
of
that
information.
We'll
do
studies
of
of
technical
nature.
L
It
is,
as
you
mentioned,
an
amazing
opportunity
for
the
public
to
look
at
how
this
or
how
this
link
serves
them
and
in
the
options
analysis,
it
allows
us
to
open
up
broader
than
the
Bridge's
current
location.
For
example,
there
there's
a
lot
of
implications
on
each
of
the
options.
The
information
that
was
presented
at
build
Heritage
focused
on
The
Limited
information
that
was
prepared
in
the
2018
structural
assessment
and
and
the
takeaway
of
that
is,
is
the
cost
element.
J
The
condition
of
of
the
remains
of
this
bridge
is
that
the
thinking
behind
an
immediate
designation,
because
I
think
there's
Great
Value
in
proceeding
with
the
studies
and
assessments
that
you've
outlined,
it
mirrors
what
we
do
with
other
properties
or
in
this
case
structures,
but
is,
is
the
risk
of
not
designating
now
further
delay
which
could
further,
you
know
deteriorate.
The
quality
of
the
structures
is
that
the
number
one
reason.
L
Mr
Mayor,
let
me
assure
counselor
that
Council
that
the
bridge
is
safe.
The
structural
assessment
that
was
done
in
2018
is
part
of
our
routine
evaluation
of
all
of
our
structures.
It
continues
to
be
safe
as
part
of
our
longer
perspective
on
planning,
Investments
and
maintaining
continuity
of
service.
L
We
planned
a
few
years
ahead,
and
so
these
needs
coming
up
for
action
and
decision
making
in
2023
is
a
reasonable
and
perfectly
safe.
There's
no
risk
to
users
at
all.
The
delay
that
or
the
additional
time
that
we'll
need
to
do
an
environmental
assessment
is
also
within
the
tolerable
service
life
of
this
bridge.
It
takes
time
to
execute
these
repairs,
and
so
that's
really
the
site
that
we
have.
It
has
had
minimal
maintenance,
not
I,
almost
shouldn't,
say
minimal.
L
J
I
L
Mr
Mayor,
that
is
what
we
what
we
spoke
about.
Yes,
the
the
options
are
are
different.
Based
on
the
Heritage
there's
a
there
is
specific
guidance
offered
by
the
Ministry
of
Transportation
on
how
to
execute
a
bridge
environmental
assessment
when
it
has
been
designated.
So
the
scope
of
the
options
are
are
modified
by
that
guidance.
Okay,.
I
I
The
chair,
through
the
EA
process,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
there'll,
be
three
studies:
the
Heritage
impact
assessment,
the
conservation
report
and
the
cultural
heritage
impact
or
sorry
cultural
heritage
evaluation
report.
Through
the
conservation
report,
there
would
be
a
range
of
options
provided
in
terms
of
methods
to
conserve
the
whole
Bridge.
I
Thank
you
for
that.
That's
helpful,
so
I
think
you
could
come
back
and
make
changes
based
on
what
we're
discussing
today.
The
I
want
to
know
did
the
Heritage
analysis
and
evaluation
report
that
was
attached
find
that
the
former
CPR
Bridge
does
meet
the
requirements
of
Ontario
regulation
0.906
for
designation
under
part
four
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
act.
Just
yes
or
no
is
fine.
I
Yes,
chair
did
he
met
three
of
the
nine
tests
which
which
indicate
that
Council
May
designate
a
property
should
they
choose?
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
I.
Just
I
want
to
just
go
through.
If
I
can
mayor
just
some
of
the
history
I
recognize
not
all
counselors
will
know
about
this
bridge.
It's
not
in
your
Awards
necessary,
not
in
your
Awards.
It
might
not
connect
your
words,
but
the
bridge
was
constructed
in
1898.
It's
the
last
survivor
of
the
four
historic
bridges
that
span
the
redo
at
this
strategic
location.
I
It's
located
just
South
of
Highway,
417
and
adjacent
to
the
University
of
ottawa's
Lee's
campus.
It
connects
the
Rideau
River
Eastern
pathway,
with
the
West
End
of
the
bridge
connecting
to
the
nature
trail
and
The
otrain
Pedestrian
path.
The
bridge
was
constructed
to
facilitate
initially
Montreal
and
Ottawa
Short
Line
and
inner
city
passenger
line,
offering
direct
service
between
Montreal
and
Ottawa
and
I
connected
the
Canada's
Atlantic's
tracks,
terminating
at
the
Jr
Booth's
Grand
truck
Depot
South
of
Rito
Street,
the
first
future
site
of
the
Ottawa
Union
Station.
I
The
bridge
is
one
of
the
last
sense
of
real
infrastructure
leading
to
the
core
of
the
city
and
as
a
reminder
of
The
Wider,
historic
landscape
and
Industry
industrial
infrastructure
centered
around
the
Rito
Canal
Corridor.
The
bridge
also
contributes
to
an
understanding
of
the
transition
of
ottawa's
waterfronts
from
industrial
to
recreational
spaces.
In
the
mid
20th
century
and
following
the
Graver
plan,
industrial
and
passenger
rail
was
gradually
relocated
out
of
the
core,
culminating
with
the
1966
closure
of
Ottawa
Union
Station.
The
bridge
was
removed
from
service
and
converted
into
pedestrian
and
cycling
Bridge.
I
It
has
contextual
value
as
the
last
remaining
bridge
in
what
was
once
a
cluster
of
those
four
rail
Bridges
at
this
location,
the
old
railroad
bridge
that
runs
parallel
to
Queensway.
It
serves
four
Wards
directly,
but
many
of
those
Wards
beyond
that.
As
a
key
connection,
CPR
stopped
using
the
bridge
in
1966,
as
mentioned,
the
city
has
conducted
work
on
the
bridge.
We've
invested
money
in
this
bridge
over
time
in
1952
replacement
of
the
Timber
deck
and
the
wearing
surface
in
in
1999..
I'll.
Just
leave
you
with
this
mayor.
I
The
the
committee
obviously
voted.
Five
to
three
on
this
I
think
Chateau
Laurie
decision.
Whichever
way
you
stood
on
that
my
position
was
that
we
we
should
have
followed
the
committee's
base
at
that
time.
I
think
the
same
is
is
here
on
this
one:
local
architect
and
Heritage
expert
Barry
Podolski,
regularly
visits
the
bridge
and
in
an
article
for
Sandy
Hill
image
noted
on
my
morning,
walks
along
the
Rideau
River
I
discovered
the
fact
that
the
bridge
possesses
an
extraordinarily
beautiful
curve.
I'd
always
assumed
that
it
was
straight.
I
But
when
you
look
and
squinttle
on
its
assets,
the
most
access
most
subtle
curve
is
revealed.
Creating
a
visual
liviness
that
the
architects
of
the
pantheon
well
understood
in
438,
BC
I
think
we've
got
Heritage
experts
on
on
our
heritage
committee.
You
know
the
Heritage
evaluation
report
shows
that
this
meets
designation.
It
meets
designation
and
so
I
think.
In
this
case
we
can
come
back
with
that
EA,
which
you've
heard
from
staff.
It's
going
to
happen
anyway,
that
EA
is
going
to
occur.
This
is
a
beautiful
Bridge.
I
M
Thank
you
very
much
so
just
for
context.
The
bridge
both
ends
of
the
bridge
are
in
councilor,
Menards
Ward,
but
I
am
one
of
the
four
Awards
on
the
what
would
be
the
South
Side,
which
was
in
within
meters
of
the
bridge,
I'm.
Very
aware
that
my
community
would
like
to
see
the
Heritage
designation
of
this
bridge
being
made.
It's
very
important
in
the
community.
I
just
want
to
clarify
a
couple
points,
I'm
hearing
the
discussion
today.
M
I
M
I
M
N
You
very
much
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
understanding
the
implications
of
Heritage
designation
today
with
respect
to
what
needs
to
be
done
with
the
bridge.
There
can
I
just
ask
first
of
all:
is
there
any
question
of
maintaining
a
pedestrian
and
cycling
link
to
join
those
two
important
pathway
systems
at
this
location
or
approximate
to
it?.
I
N
I
N
There
is
medium
to
very
severe
corrosion
structural
steel
elements
below
deck,
including
the
girder
bottom
flanges,
and
pretend
to
know
what
that
means:
interior
web
of
the
girders
and
rivet
heads.
If
we
designate
the
bridge
today,
does
that
imply
one
level
of
Rehabilitation
versus
another
I'm
trying
to
understand
how
expensive
that
would
be.
L
There
would
be
repairs
that
could
be
done.
There
can
be
Coatings.
That's
applied
to
this
deal,
to
make
it
better
resistant
to
corrosion.
There
is
similar
protection
layers
that
we
would
be
able
to
put
on
the
abutments
the
place
where
the
bridge
connects
to
the
concrete
foundations,
those
the
bearings
those
type
of
mechanical
things.
Those
can
be
Revisited
and
replaced
and
repaired.
L
There
are
going
to
be
factors
such
as
the
ones
I've
described
in
both
cases
in
in
favor
and
in
exploring
all
the
options.
That's
I
think
the
benefit
of
the
EA,
because
there
there
are
a
shorter
list
of
things
you
can
do
to
rehabilitate
an
existing
125
year
old
bridge.
They
have
a
shorter
lifespan
that
has
a
cost
implication.
L
There's
a
there's,
a
use
implication
to
a
rehabilitation
option,
because
it'll
be
out
of
use
for
a
couple
of
years
that,
while
that
work
is
executed,
if
I
imagine
the
outcome
of
an
EA,
that's
a
new
bridge
we
would
leave.
The
existing
bridge
in
use
and
service
would
not
be
interrupted
as
an
example
that
these
are
just
the
the
things
that
we
are
chatting
about
in
terms
of
where
this
goes
and
and
what
are
the
things
that
we
would
look
at.
L
L
I
spoke
earlier,
Mr
Mayor
about
the
characteristics
of
this
bridge
and
with
this
bridge
coming
in
with
the
character
and
the
Heritage
value,
that's
reflected
in
the
report.
That's
the
work
that's
been
done
so
far
and
the
work
that
will
incrementally
be
done
in
the
three
reports
Mr
Curry
referred
to
that
becomes
part
of
the
the
EA
process
in
discovering
what
is
the
best
option
when
we
look
at
everything-
and
there
are
absolutely
historical
elements,
we
we
have.
L
The
staff
report
to
to
committee
impact
included
photos
of,
for
instance,
the
bank
Street
bridge
over
the
canal
near
Lansdowne
Park.
That
bridge
is
not
a
designated
Heritage,
but
it
has
a
very
Heritage
feel
to
it
because
of
the
the
design
processor.
It's
absolutely
yes,
Mr
Mayor
there.
There
are
many
ways
and
and
we're
informed
on
those
Ways
by
this
MTO
document
about
how
to
proceed
with
considering
design
options
for
our
heritage
designated
Bridge.
Okay,.
N
When
I,
when
I
look
at
the
other
major
structural
deficiency
of
the
current
Bridge,
medium
corrosion
of
the
structural
steel
elements
above
deck,
the
failure
of
the
steel
coating
system
severe
to
very
severe
delamination
and
disintegration
of
the
concrete
encasement
of
the
abutments
and
peers
I
think
it
behooves
us
to
understand
better
through
the
EA
process.
What
some
of
the
options
might
be
if
we
were
to
proceed
with
replacement
rather
than
rehabbing
the
bridge
as
it
is
today
so
I'm
pleased
the
counselor
King
brought
this
motion
I'm,
not
particularly
Disturbed.
N
O
O
I
think
that
that
is
an
important
thing
to
note
people
that
like
to
make
sure
things
are
known
to
be,
and
the
history
was
very
appreciated.
Councilor
Menard.
It
was
very
interesting
to
know
all
that
history
of
it.
People
who
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is
known
and
preserved
have
many
ways
to
do
it,
including
designated
as
Heritage
later
on
so
I
I.
Think
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion
by
counselor
King,
although
I
do
would
like.
I
would
like
to
really
think
longer
about
our
committee
assignments.
O
If,
if
we
have
to
question
anything
that
comes
from
a
committee,
I
think
this
is
the
place
to
do
it,
not
just
who
voted
for
what
or
what
the
committee
said.
This
is,
it
is
our
ability
to
change
things.
I
just
think
this
one.
Actually,
what
counselor
King
here
is
trying
to
do
is
give
us
more
options
rather
than
fewer.
O
A
C
Q
K
R
A
A
S
And
whereas
the
origin
destination
survey
is
complete
and
staff
are
in
the
process
of
analyzing.
The
data
and
whereas
CMP
part
one
is
a
policy
document,
does
not
provide
council
with
a
complete
understanding
of
how
these
those
policies
will
affect
Investments,
whereas
TMP
part
2,
which
features
the
bulk
of
our
investments
into
the
transportation.
S
Arguably,
our
most
important
infrastructure
must
be
made
with
a
full
and
complete
understanding
of
the
impacts
of
policy
on
investments
and
the
impacts
of
Investments.
On
policy,
therefore
be
a
result
that
the
transportation
master
plan
TMP
part
one
be
referred
back
to
Transportation
committee
to
be
considered
in
full
with
TMP
part.
Two
when
part
two
is
ready.
S
I
want
to
disclose
that
I
I
did
vote
in
favor
at
committee
at
first
of
CMP
part
one,
because
I
thought
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
kind
of
work
within
the
policy
to
determine
what
our
investments
are
are
going
to
be,
but
more
stood
over
it.
The
more
uncomfortable
I
got
with
you
know
our
decision
coming
back
to
haunt
us
in
two
years.
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
the
the
work
that
staff
did
put
in.
S
A
Right,
thank
you,
councilor
lowen,
just
to
be
clear.
This
is
a
procedural
motion,
so
we'll
consider
it
before
the
other
motions
that
that
we
would
look
at
depending
on
the
outcome
of
this
motion,
so
I
just
want
to
start
by
asking
staff.
If
you
would
to
provide
some
clarity
on
what
would
what
would
happen
if
this
motion
would
would
were
to
be
adopted,
what
would
be
the
implications
of
that?
How
would
it
affect
staff
work
going
forward
on
the
other
part
of
the
transportation
master
plan.
K
K
You
know,
as
as
we
work
on
the
part
two
of
the
plan,
there
will
be
multiple
opportunities
Consulting
with
community
and
counselors
on
on
priorities,
and
if
there
are
issues
with
a
policy
that
are
identified,
there's
certainly
opportunities
to
correct
them.
When
we
bring
part
two
of
the
transportation
master
plan
back
to
to
council,
so
perhaps
I'll
turn
it
over
to
zlaco.
We
can
speak
to
some
of
the
impacts
on
active
Transportation.
Should
the
motion
carry.
P
Mr
Mayor
in
terms
of
the
active
Transportation
plan,
we
are
as
staff
working
on
the
2013
project
list,
which
is
the
projects
within
that
list
that
we're
working
on
now
are
definitely
not
as
as
critical
as
the
ones
we've
identified
in
the
new
list.
We
did
in
fact
review
all
the
old
projects
to
see
which
ones
should
be
carried
for
forward
if
they
met
the
new
criteria.
P
In
addition,
in
terms
of
the
question
of
the
extent
to
which
the
OD
survey
results
in
form
the
active
Transportation
plan,
there
tends
not
to
be
a
strong,
a
coupling
as
there
would
be
for
roads
or
rails,
since
the
OD
survey
is
not
so
fine-grained
as
to
understand
who
needs
to
go
to
a
school
by
a
sidewalk
and
in
addition,
should
major
projects
like
Transit
ways
or
rail
come
out
of
the
next
stage.
They
would
have
Incorporated
within
the
active
transportation
components
that
are
appropriate
to
whatever
road
is
selected.
P
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
just
to
be
clear,
then,
that
just
to
pick
up
on
a
point
that
you
may
you
made
Mr
herwire
that
even
if
the
even,
if
part
one
were
approved
today,
there
would
still
be
room
to
to
to
amend
it
and
to
to
add
or
subtract
things
from
it
before
the
final
approval
of
the
total
transportation
master
plan.
Is
that
correct.
K
Yes,
Mr
Mayor,
perhaps
a
recent
similar
process
that
I
can
draw
on
when
we're
doing
the
official
plan
we
came
in
a
series
of
reports
established.
You
know,
criteria
to
evaluate
Urban
expansion
lands
as
an
example,
and
at
the
time
when
it
came
back
to
council,
the
staff
recommendation
was
based
on
that
previous
criteria,
but
Council
still,
as
everyone
recalls,
made
some
changes
and
that
that
ability
still
exists
when
we
come
back
with
part.
Two.
Okay.
A
I
Thank
you
very
much
mayor.
You
asked
a
question.
I
was
going
to
ask
first
up
so
I
appreciated
the
the
answers
from
staff
on
that
I
guess.
I
have
one
question
and
probably
a
follow-up
comment:
I
understand
that
that
this
part
of
the
document
is
City
policies
relating
to
building
the
transportation
Network
that
don't
rely
explicitly
On
the
Origin
destination
study.
I
I
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
The
origin
destination
study
obviously
has
been
done
before
our
stage.
2
LRT
is
operational.
I've
asked
this
before
stop,
but
just
get
clarity
of
council.
How
will
the
origin
destination
study
be
updated
to
take
into
account
the
new
travel
patterns
of
residents
of
Ottawa
with
stage
two
operational.
T
So
Mr
Mayor
as
part
of
the
modeling
work
that
we
will
do
in
the
next
part
of
the
transportation
master
plan.
That
work
will
consider
the
impacts
of
all
planned
Transportation
projects,
including
stage
any
any
of
the
elements
of
stage
two,
so
that
will
be
explicitly
accounted
for
as
part
of
developing
Future
travel
forecast.
Both
Road
demand
and
Transit
demand.
I
Okay,
give
that
and
make
that
point
just
because
I
think,
obviously
that
will
determine
a
lot
of
what
we
end
up
doing
and
to
see
the
patterns
that
people
do
travel
once
that,
once
that's
operational,
it
will
be
important.
I
I
thought
I
thought
about
this.
This
motion,
I
I,
don't
support
it.
I
think
staff
have
done
a
good
job
of
getting
us
to
this
point.
The
fact
that
we
can
make
changes
as
TMP
staged
the
second
part
of
it
comes
forward.
I
think
is
important
information.
I
I
I
Think
a
lot
of
counselors
are
supportive
of
that
Network
and
we
don't
want
to
lose
all
of
that
or
see
that
derailed
at
this
stage,
when
we
know
we
can
make
some
changes
in
the
future,
if
needed,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
their
work
on
this
to
this
point,
I'm
supportive
of
the
stage
one
TMP
and
want
to
see
that
move
forward
and
get
this
work
undergoing
on
keep
this
work
ongoing
because
it's
been
a
long
process
to
this
point.
Obviously,
the
pandemic
has
derailed
us
too.
I
U
U
See
drill
I'll,
just
Skip
to
My
things
all
right,
so
I
appreciate
the
intention
of
counselor
Low's
Motion
in
the
sense
that
the
TMP
and
phases
might
give
us
pause,
but
I
I
believe
the
suggestion
to
defer
the
approval
of
the
document
has
many
unintended
consequences.
So
I
just
want
to
understand.
You
know
if
we
were
to
refer
this.
U
U
U
They
were
very
publicly
available
and
they
are
very
strongly
supported.
And
so,
if
we
were
to
defer
this,
we
would
be
undermining
the
work
that
residents
did
to
put
their
put
their
opinions
forward
into
the
TMP
I
I.
Think
that
generally
we
we
want
the
the
PDF
overlay
of
the
whole
network
and
we'll
be
getting
that,
so
we
have
some
some
availability
there
and
finally,
you
know
with
respect
to
the
the
2023
TMP
phase,
two
we're
going
to
end
up
having
three
costed
scenarios.
U
Instead
of
just
one
determined
end
result
for
investment,
and
the
current
TMP
at
2013
just
had
one
funding
scenario.
It
was.
This
is
what
you
got
so,
if
you're
not
happy
with
that,
the
TMP
2023
phase
two
actually
gives
Council
more
oversight,
more
discretion,
more
opportunities
for
debate.
So,
for
those
reasons,
I
think
we
should
be
supporting
moving
forward
with
phase
one
so
that
staff
isn't
left
rudderless
as
they
try
and
create
phase.
Two,
so
I
won't
be
supporting
this
motion.
Mr
Mayor
and
I'll
look
forward
to
hearing
more
from
my
colleagues.
O
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
so
just
procedurally
I,
don't
think.
There's
any
intent
by
counselor
that
undermine
anybody
or
anything
I.
Think
procedurally,
there's
a
comment
or
a
concern
that
if
you
wanted
to
change
something
at
a
later
date
in
this,
would
it
actually
be
reconsideration
or
is
it
more
likely
that
the
details
of
something
that
would
come
forward
would
be
a
part
of
some
other
motion
that
would
just
be
able
to
be
tweaked.
O
When
you
think
about
the
example
that
manager
herwire
gave
us,
it
wasn't
necessarily
against
anything
that
was
in
any
overall
plan
when
the
switch
was
done
of
what
area
to
use
as
the
urban
boundary
extension.
You
know
that
was
a
detail
that
wouldn't
have
been
in
a
larger
document,
but
if
somebody
wanted
to
change
something
that
is
in
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
here,
like
actually
change
something
that
would
be
reconsideration.
All
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
could
be
done
later
on
would
be
part
of
other
motions,
am
I
right.
K
O
Thank
you
for
that.
Like
I
see
what
what's
coming
up
is
counselor
kits
has
a
bunch
of
motions
which
you
know
she's
putting
those
forward
now,
so
we
we
will
deal
with
those
now
right
and
so
that
Now's
the
Time
to
make
a
specific
change
to
it.
But
I.
What
I
think
councilor
low
is
concerned
about
is
some
of
the
other
details
around
all
of
what
we're
about
to
approve
that
could
be
changed
without
a
full
reconsideration.
O
It
would
just
be
specifics
so
and
I
think
that's
maybe
what
would
be
the
route
to
not
refer
this,
but
look
more
into
the
details
when
we
have
things
come
forward,
but
otherwise
you
make
a
specific
change
right
now,
so
that
you
don't
have
to
deal
with
reconsideration
and
I.
Don't
think
you
have
anything
specific
I
think
it's
more
of
a
larger
perspective.
Anyways,
so
I
won't
be
supporting
this
referral,
but
I
would
just
note
that
that
anything
changed
here
would
have
to
be
a
reconsideration.
I
believe
yes,.
Q
Great
thank
you
very
much,
Mr
Mayor,
first
of
all,
I'm
one
of
two
elected
officials
that
actually
has
gone
through
the
TMP
process,
myself
and
counselor
Hoobly.
It's
a
very
exciting
time,
a
lot
of
great
debate
and
even
speaking
with
other
people,
I
made
mention
of
the
fact.
Oh
forgive
me,
counselor
duroche
is
here
sorry
welcome
back
so
there's
three
of
us
I'm
doing
math
today
on
the
Fly.
Q
That
being
said,
this
is
a
living
document
and
I
think
where
that
has
been
made
very
clear
here
today,
I
I'm
deadly
afraid
of
a
scenario
where
there
could
be
slippage,
because
this
first
document
is
not
the
rubber
hits
the
road.
It's
part,
two
in
2025
and
guess
what
if
we
have
slippage
in
2025
to
2026,
that's
everyone's
election
year
and
we
hit
pause
once
again.
Q
V
V
I
I
also
appreciate
the
fact
that
counselor
Lowe
made
many
rounds
of
phone
calls
last
night
and
I
had
a
good
conversation
with
him
and
I
certainly
appreciate
what
I
believe
to
be
the
intent
behind
the
motion,
which
is
to
put
a
pause
to
ensure
that
we
we
have
it
right,
but
I
think
I
I
think
that
we
we
do
have
it
right.
I
appreciate
his
efforts
to
gain
greater
Clarity
around
practical
implications
of
the
proposed
policies.
V
I
would
suggest,
however,
it's
important
that
we
develop
and
consider
the
broader
policy
framework
with
a
larger
field
of
view.
The
city
needs
to
work
as
a
whole
and
we
need
policies
that
reflect
that
effort.
We
need
and
I
think
what
we
have
are
aspirational
policies
that
that
dream
big
and
leave
room
for
a
variety
of
possibilities.
The
process
we
have
before
us
now,
regardless
of
how
it
has
changed
from
the
process
that
was
originally
set,
is
that
we
have
the
opportunity
to
set
policy
first
and
implementation
of
that
policy.
V
Second,
from
as
councilor
Johnson
reminded
us
from
a
list
of
scenarios
as
I
understand,
councilor
Lowe's
motion.
The
change
that's
proposed
here
in
that
motion
might
put
us
in
a
situation
where
setting
policy
could
be
tied
to
concerns
of
nature.
Other
than
aspiration,
for
example,
affordability
and
I'm,
reluctant
to
put
us
into
that
kind
of
root.
Wear
slippage
could
happen,
I'm
reluctant
to
go
that
route,
because
I
think.
V
By
doing
so,
we
would
limit
the
broader
policy
Horizon
by
focusing
perhaps
too
closely
on
on
individual
project
objects
or
or
financial
Frameworks,
and
for
that
reason,
I'm
I'm
happy
that
we
have
the
opportunity
we
have
now
so
I
won't
be
put
in
the
motion,
although
I
appreciate
the
intent
behind
it.
Thank
you
mayor
thank.
M
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I,
wanted
to
thank
staff.
I
was
feeling
yesterday
that
I
myself
wanted
to
initiate
a
deferral
of
this
and
and
staff
took
the
time
last
night
to
meet
with
me
for
over
an
hour
to
go
through
things
in
detail,
of
which
I
had
concerns,
and
one
of
the
things
that
came
up.
I
asked
a
lot
of
questions
about
funding
envelopes.
How
prioritization
of
the
projects
within
the
list
would
work?
M
I
found
my
list
overly
ambitious,
considering
the
track
record
previously
of
active
Transportation
projects
being
being
implemented
in
my
ward,
and
one
of
the
things
that
that
came
up
and
I
just
want
to
confirm
with
staff
is
that
if
this
list
were
to
be
delayed
for
18
18
months
or
so
until
TMP
part,
two
was
out
that
there
we
would
lose
the
opportunity
to
prioritize
those
active
Transportation
projects
within
the
list.
Presently,
is
that
correct?
Is
that
did
I
understand
that?
Well.
M
So
I
really
felt
after
that
meeting
that
I
would
I
would
lose
the
opportunity
to
have
some
really
big
impact
projects
for
me
to
proceed
with
deferral.
So
I
certainly
won't
be
proceeding
supporting
Council
motion
today,
although
I
I
did
feel
differently.
Otherwise,
and-
and
you
know
part
of
me
when
I
was
mulling
it
over
last
night,
I
I
sort
of
came
to
the
realization
that
in
in
a
term
recently
coined
by
one
of
my
colleagues
that
perhaps
defer
would
be
intellectually
lazy.
W
W
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that's
been
done.
These
are
about
policies.
This
is
about
a
rethink
of
what
we've
been
doing.
We've
moved
forward
since
2013
and
I
think
we're
going
in
the
right
direction
for
active
transportation,
so
it
doesn't
mean
things
can't
be
added
and
I
appreciate
that
we
all
have
things
that
we're
going
to
see
coming
as
as
we
move
forward,
but
we
have
to
start
somewhere
and
I
do
not
want
to
see
this
delayed
at
all
and
I
appreciate
it.
W
J
That's
not
there
and
I
want
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
what
wiggle
room
exists
after
today
to
ensure
that,
through
future
discussions
with
staff
projects,
that
can
be
added
have
that
opportunity
and
whether
there
is
a
window
between
now
and
when
part
two
comes
before
committee
and
count.
So
thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
for
the
question.
Yeah
I
think
my
comments
were
more
around
the
the
policies
in
in
the
TMP
one.
As
we've
heard
and
has
been
stated,
it
is
a
living
breathing
document.
There
will
be
opportunities
for
periodic
reviews.
I'd
ask
slotco
to
speak
specifically
to
the
the
active
Transportation
list
and
and
the
the
means
by
which
they
can
be
amended
in
the
future.
P
Mr
Mayor
foreign
I
wanted
to
mention
that
one
of
the
important
next
steps
within
that
active
Transportation
list
will
be
a
prioritization
of
the
projects
we
start
working
on
within
the
next
seven
years
and
that
step
will
be
taken
in
consultation
with
the
counselors,
and
they
are
certainly
welcome
to
get
input
from
their
residence.
So,
from
a
practical
point
of
view,
I
do
believe
there
are
enough
excellent
projects
within
the
long
list
provided
to
make
sure
that
the
first
seven
years
will
deliver
projects
that
are
deemed
to
be
very
valuable
for
each
Ward.
J
Just
on
that
note
and
then
I'll
park,
the
rest
of
my
questions
for
the
the
open
debate
is:
can
you
just
explain
what
will
happen
at
the
five-year
increments
going
forward?
How
much
of
a
review
or
reflection
on
the
list
will
be
undertaken?
It's
not
going
to
be
a
complete
TMP
review,
but
what
can
I
expect
to
be
engaged
on
at
those
five-year
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
those
time
limits
or
that
yeah
check-in
was
Mr.
P
A
R
You
very
much
Mr
Mayor,
two
questions.
The
hinge
on
whether
I
support
deferral
or
not.
One
is
a
a
clear
explanation
about
existing
projects
that
we've
collected
the
DC's
for
I.
Think
councilor
Carr
referred
to
some
things.
There
pieces
of
projects
that
were
not
completed
that
were
left
hanging
but
are
on
the
or
were
on
past
pmps.
Do
we
get
an
assurance
that
all
those
items
are
being
carried
forward
or
will
be
publicly
reviewed
again?
What's
the
plan.
P
Mr
Mayor
speaking
to
the
elements
of
the
2013
active
Transportation
plan
staff
is
right
now
looking
to
finish
the
projects
that
were
in
flow
and
up
to
a
point
where
projects
were
either
going
to
be
handed
off
to
our
design
and
construction
team
out
of
planning
and
to
be
implemented,
or
they
have
already
been
grandfathered.
If
you
will
and
promoted
into
the
new
plan,
if
planning
wouldn't
have
been
started
within
our
expected
window
to
flip
to
the
new
plan.
Otherwise
the
remaining
plans
that
were
in
2013
would
not
go
forward.
R
P
The
end
Mr
Mayor
in
terms
of
completion,
not
in
terms
of
in
terms
of
us
handing
it
over
from
a
planning
to
construction,
but
that
still
could
be
ultimately
completed
in
terms
of
a
facility
that
you
use
perhaps
a
year
or
a
year
and
a
half
from
now,
because
we
still
intend
to
finish
these
planning
projects
and
that
might
take
us
to
the
end
of
the
year
or
potentially
a
little
bit
longer.
But
if
they're
in
flow
right
now,
we
would
intend
to
hand
them
over.
X
R
Sorry,
I'm
not
finding
that
a
very
clear
answer:
if
you're
telling
me
a
project
from
2013
and
I'll,
give
you
a
specific
example
to
try
to
help
bring
some
clarity
to
this
in
2013.
What
was
in
the
TMP
was
to
finish
the
widening
of
eagleson
Road,
there's
a
small
section
at
the
end.
That
remains
two
lanes
where
the
rest
of
it
is
four
or
more.
R
R
Okay
on
the
DMP
that
particular
project
is
listed
as
a
road
widening
I
want
to
convert
that
to
sidewalks,
which
are
part
of
the
active
Transportation
plan,
which
is
what
we're
talking
about
dealing
with
today
and
I'm,
asking
for
a
clear
indication
that
that
is
going
to
be
possible
and
that
we
can
use
the
DCS
that
were
collected
for
that
road.
To
do
that.
Can
I
get
a
yes
or
a
note
of
that.
R
Council,
yes,
I
I
would
I'm
going
to
support
deferral
if
I
cannot
fix.
There's
this
issue
on
one
other
that
I
want
to
bring
up
if
I
can't
get
those
fixed
as
part
of
this
process
or
assurances
that
it
will
be,
if
not
picked
up
in
the
first
part
of
the
TMP,
but
in
the
second,
if
they'll
allow
a
conversion
of
a
road
to
a
sidewalk
in
the
second,
then
great.
R
R
Perfect,
thank
you,
and
so.
My
second
question
is
in
Canada
and
Bell's
corners
and
parts
of
Statesville.
We've
got
a
very
well
developed
pathway
system
that
residents
have
used
for
years
instead
of
sidewalks
on
the
street.
They
take
Pathways
behind
their
houses,
which
is
safer
for
children
to
use
to
get
to
school.
We
went
to
maintain
them
there.
They
have
street
lights
on
them.
It's
a
viable,
sidewalk
Network.
R
Yet
after
amalgamation,
the
city
of
Ottawa
is
TMP,
never
recognized
that
as
a
sidewalk
Network
and
it's
been
impossible
to
get
funding
to
do
repairs
to
these
Pathways
that
are
now
deteriorating.
So
I
need
to
get
an
indication
from
stop.
It's
part
of
the
act
of
Transportation
Network.
So
why
is
it
not
in
this
piece
of
the
TMP.
A
R
As
I
said,
Mr
Mayor-
this
is
how
I
did
deferral
I'm
just
looking
for
Assurance
to
say,
because
it's
missing
from
this
piece
of
the
TMP,
so
I
I
would
support
deferral.
If
that's
what
staff
told
me
I
need
to
do
to
get
this
addressed
in
the
PMP,
so
an
answer
to
that
would
be
great.
Are
we
able
to
deal
with
this
or
do
I
need
to
support
deferral.
K
A
Y
Okay,
here
are
the
reasons
why
I've
decided
to
to
Second
this
motion
from
councilor
Lope
we're
hearing
that
there's
room
for
for
wiggle
room
in
the
list.
First
I
want
to
express
my
appreciation
for
staff
for
putting
this
together.
I
think
that
you
know
zlatko
and
the
team
did
a
really
wonderful
job.
Perhaps
perhaps
we
shouldn't
have
put
together
a
priority
list
that
was
incomplete.
Y
You
know
we
don't
see
the
Brian
Coburn
extension,
the
St
Joseph
secondary
plan
project
of
of
having
a
complete
Street,
that's
cycling
and
walkable
infrastructure
doesn't
send
a
very
good
message
to
my
community
when
we
don't
put
that
on
a
list
and
we've
just
passed
that
in
the
last
term
and
are
very
excited
about
it.
I'm
supporting
referral,
because
there's
there's
no
connections
to
The
Villages
Navan
Cumberland.
So
if
you
want
to
take
a
bike,
you
know
from
the
from
the
village
to
come
in
and
get
on
the
LRT.
Y
You
can't
there's
almost
no
pedestrian
infrastructure
whatsoever
in
the
East
End
on
the
map
that
was
provided.
You
know
no
pedestrian
crossover
of
the
174.
You
have
to
cross
it
grade.
That's
why
I'm
supporting
referrals
just
making
sure
I'm
bringing
it
back
to
referral
for
you,
Mr
Mayor,
no
enhanced
connection
to
Petrie
Island
as
well,
so
no
way
for
people
to
walk
to
one
of
the
most
beautiful
gems
in
the
East
End
right
now,
it's
a
dirt
road
to
get
down
their
largest
beach
in
the
city
of
Ottawa.
Y
You
have
to
walk
down
a
dirt
road.
That's
you
know,
half
a
kilometer
long.
You
know
so
we're
talking
about
wiggle
room,
there's,
there's
rooms,
there's,
there's,
there's
wiggle
room
in
this
right!
Well,
I'm
talking
about
things
that
would
register
on
the
Richter
Scale.
You
know
compared
to
you
know
what
what
we
saw
on
the
list.
This
is
not
just
wiggle
room.
Y
So
the
reason
why
I'm
going
to
support
you
know
deferral
of
this
is
that
you
know,
let's
get
this
to
a
place
where
my
residents
feel
like
they're,
not
simply
beneficiaries
of
wiggle
room.
You
know,
let's
show
them
that
that
we,
that
we,
that
we
did
the
work,
that
we've
identified,
that
we've
been
consistent
in
our
priorities,
that
we're
thinking
about
active
transportation
in
some
of
the
least
walkable
neighborhoods
and
the
least
cyclable
neighborhoods
in
this
city.
Thank
you.
K

C
Z

Thank
you.
So,
let's
move
now
to
the
Transportation
master
plan
recommendation
itself
and
there
are,
as
I
understand
that
there
are
five
other
motions.
The
original
recommendation
from
the
committee
so
I'm
going
to
ask
for
those
motions
to
be
to
be
read
in
and
then
we'll
have
discussion
and
and
comments
on
and
questions
about
those
those
motions.
So
we'll
just
read
those
motions,
beginning
with
counselor
Menards
motion.
Please
thank.
I
That
staff
include
due
consideration
of
induced
demand
and
ghg
emissions
in
the
development
and
evaluation
of
the
transit
and
Road
networks
in
the
next
phase
of
the
TMP,
and
be
a
further
resolve
that
staff
consider
for
consideration
for
induce
demand,
extend
only
to
areas
a
b
and
c
under
zoning
schedule.
One
of
the
city
of
Ottawa
zoning
bylaw,
where
alternatives
to
private
vehicles
are
more
widely
available.
H
AD
Whereas
city
council
carried
a
motion
on
April
14
2021
for
Navan
Road
urbanization,
review
of
priority
in
the
transportation
Master
Plan
update,
which
included
Provisions
for
cycle
tracks
and
sidewalks
in
support
of
the
city's
active
transportation
and
complete
streets
policies,
therefore
be
resolved.
At
the
section
of
Navan
Road
from
Brian
Coburn
Boulevard
to
the
Blackburn
Hamlet
bypass
the
added
to
the
proposed
Crosstown

Network,
as
outlined
in
document
5
of
the
transportation
master
plan,
part
one.
AD
R
I
R
K
AE
AF
You
very
much
Mr
Mayor
I
just
have
a
clarification
question
on
one
of
counselor
Kit's
motion,
so
this
is
the
considering
Mobility
deficits
and
the
prioritization
of
Transit
and
road
projects,
so
in
the
first
therefore
be
it
resolves
it
talks
about
clarifying
that
projects
may
be
considered
for
an
earlier
phase
of
implementation
in
areas
in
the
city
where
unmet
travel
demand
is
the
highest
I'm.
Just
trying
to
understand
does
if
this
changes
anything
does
the
scoring
criteria
that
we
put
in
place
through
through
this
part,
one
of
TMP?
AF
AF
T
AG
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor.
This
is
a
question
for
staff,
I,
think
with
regard
to
the
Menard
motion
and
I,
just
I
want
to
confirm
from
staff.
You
know,
technically
speaking,
how
is
this
process
going
to
happen?
This
is
this:
is
a
I
I
heard
from
Mr
herwire
that
this
is
achievable,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
like?
K
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I'll
start
and
perhaps
Jennifer
would
like
to
build
on
so
in
terms
of
the
motion.
It
really
is
consistent
with
you
know
previous
Council
Direction
in
terms
of
the
climate
change
master
plan
and
and
bringing
a
climate
lens
onto
all
of
our
future
Master
plans.
So
it's
it's
certainly
consistent
with
you
know
previous
approvals
and
Direction
and
Jennifer.
If
you
have
anything
to
add.
T
Yes,
Mr
Mayor,
so
as
part
of
developing
the
next
phase
of
the
transportation
master
plan,
we
will
be
doing
a
modeling
analysis
and,
as
part
of
that,
there's
opportunities
to
look
at
Network
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
the
modeling
process
also
considers
induced
demand
caused
by
people
changing
their
route
of
travel,
their
their
mode
of
travel
and
their
destination
of
travel.
So
that
is
actually
captured
within
the
modeling
framework
that
we
use
foreign.
I
Happy
to
happy
to
also
just
add
on
to
what
staff
have
said:
I
worked
with
staff
on
this
motion
and
clarified
the
language
with
them,
I
think
in
terms
of
the
the
performance
measures
you
know,
our
climate
change
master
plan
is
clear.
Our
TMP
is
now
clear.
Staff
are
looking
at
induced
demand
and
gsu's
Mission.
It's
a
performance
measure.
I
Right
now,
we've
been
seeing
a
lot
of
Road
widening,
but
there's
a
lot
of
connections
that
we
should
be
focusing
on
as
well
separate
to
this
motion,
but
I
think
as
a
as
a
city
we're
moving
in
the
right
Direction
when
we're
considering
the
various
induced
demand
and
now
staff
have
even
in
the
first
portion
of
this
TMP
and
if
various
other
Road
building
projects
have
said.
Look
at
this
is
our
consideration
of
induced
demand.
I
Here's
what
we
think
it
will
create
just
as
a
metric
for
you
to
evaluate
going
forward
for
various
road
projects,
so
this
is
already
part
of
their
work.
It's
Clarity
for
the
next
stages,
around
Transit,
the
importance
of
transit
in
our
city
and
utilizing
those
networks
first
and
foremost
and
I.
Think
the
the
purpose
of
the
project
prioritization
is
to
identify
which
of
the
identified
road
projects
to
build.
I
First
staff
have
clarified
that
and
said
look
at
under
this
rubric,
which
ones
do
we
build
first,
based
on
the
analysis
that
we've
put
forward,
those
other
ones
would
still
be
in
there,
but
prioritize
prioritization
within
the
TMP
is
is
important
based
on
the
rubric.
That's
already
been
performed
by
by
City
staff.
AG
No
thank
you
very
much
for
that
clarification.
I
guess!
My
concern
would
be
in
the
way
that
I
think
that's
consistent
with
everything
that
I've
seen
in
the
current
Transportation
master
plan
part
one.
My
only
concern
is,
is
kind
of
how
we're
looking
at
the
performance
measurements
on
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
AG
What
defines
that
you
know
whether
we're
looking
kind
of
cradle
to
grave
in
the
entire
process,
whether
we're
looking
simply
at
what
would
be
vehicular,
whether
it's
you
know
included
in
our
reduced
emission
buses,
I'll
call
them
as
well
so
I
just
I'm
a
bit
concerned
about
the
language
that's
being
used
there
and
what
we're
setting
up
you
know
the
public
to
believe
we're
doing
and
as
opposed
to
what
we're
actually
doing.
So
that
would
be
my
only
hold
up
with
that,
but
other
than
that
Mr
Mayor.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
I'll
just
I'll
just
add
very
briefly
mayor.
The
staff
started
doing
some
of
this
work
in
our
budget
process,
so
you
saw
some
of
the
language
around
capital
projects
within
the
budget
and
staff
added
language
to
those
capital
projects
with
regard
to
a
ghg
emission
so
very
similar
to
what's
already
been
happening
in
the
the
work
that
I
know
our
climate
change
team
and
our
road
roads
team,
our
transportation
team
is
doing
I
just
and
I'll.
Just
finally
just
say:
Obviously
the
the
NCC
raised
some
some
concerns
with
it.
I
I
think
this
addresses
it.
I
know
you
know
the
NCC
is
our
partner.
We
may
not
always
be
happy
with
their
full
decisions,
but
they're
an
important
and
good
partner
for
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
I.
Think
staff
obviously
recognize
that
we
work
hand
in
hand,
and
so
this
is
recognition
of
the
letter.
They
also
sent
us
and
and
working
hand
in
hand
with
them,
so
I'm
happy
to
work
with
counselor
Brown
to
to
amend
this
and
appreciate
Council
lead
per
second
again.
Thank
you.
F
F
That
will
serve
cyclists
and
that
will
serve
our
transit
system.
So
can
staff
confirm
to
me
that
if
this
is
approved
projects
like
leetrum
upgrades
Bank,
Street
upgrades
South
in
the
South
Finley
Creek
area,
the
airport
Parkway?
Can
they
confirm
that
these
types
of
projects
would
would
be
considered
as
part
of
the
exercise?
That's
going
to
happen
next,
I
think
again.
T
F
Secondly,
I
I
was
pleased
to
see
that
there's
some
commitment
in
this
document
to
improve
the
connectivity
with
the
Findlay
Creek
residential
community
and
the
employment
areas
that
are
in
there
with
the
new
Leach
from
LRT
station.
Now,
unfortunately,
that
station
is
probably
the
the
the
the
ugliest
the
saddest,
the
most
isolated
LRT
station
of
the
entire
system
because
of
its
location.
F
F
F
So
in
this
plan
is
there
some
commitment
that
we're
going
to
look
at
how
we
can
kind
of
improve
the
accessibility
of
this
Leash
from
station
we're
investing
millions
in
that
transit
system
that
will
take
pressure
off
the
roadmap
Network
north
south,
but
really
that
lead
trim
station
is
The
Ugly
Duckling,
and
we
need
to
do
more
than
just
put
a
little
path.
We've
got
to
invest
in
in
the
infrastructure
around
it.
Thank
you.
F
F
Is
there
a
a
commitment
that
we're
going
to
improve
access
to
stations
like
leetrim,
so
that
you
know
again,
people
can
get
to
it
in
a
in
a
proper
way
and
it's
got
a
lot
of
shortcomings.
So
will
this
plan
at
least
get
us
going
on
and
and
on
some
ideas
to
improve
the
accessibility
to
that
station?
There
again
we're
investing
millions
in
it
and
I
hope
we
can
do
a
better
job
over
the
course
of
the
next
several
years.
T
F
Think
it's
both
right
because,
right
now
you
have
a
rural
cross-section
Road
and
you
have
a
lot
of
barriers
in
terms
of
accessing
that
so,
whether
it
be
for
cycling
or
pedestrians,
so
again,
I
think
we
need
to
see
a
CDP
for
this
area.
Maybe
it's
even
a
some
sort
of
Economic
Development
support
to
get
this
community
going.
So
it's
it's
all
means
in
terms
of
getting
to
the
station.
T
So
I
can
confirm
that
we
will
be
doing
a
needs
analysis
through
the
next
phase
of
the
TMP
that
we'll
look
at
the
mobility
needs
more
generally,
but
the
focus
for
that
will
be
on
roads
as
complete
streets
connections
with
Recycling
and
active
Transportation
facilities.
But
the
active
Transportation
list
is
in
the
in
the
package
that
is
before
you
today.
W
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
in
I,
don't
know
if
I
missed
something,
but
in
the
last
motion
from
Kath
from
counselor
Kitts,
the
last
section
of
be
it
resolved
that
the
city
Explorer
policy
changes
to
ensure
future
front.
Ending
payments
are
aligned
with
and
restricted
to
the
revenue
collected
within
the
benefiting
area
defined
by
stock.
Was
that
still
left
in
or
was
that.
X
AD
AD
W
Still
included,
okay,
I
have
I,
have
questions
for
staff
on
that,
and
because
my
concern
is,
we
have
an
equity
index
and
for
neighborhoods,
and
that
is
something
we
use
for
overriding
and
I'm
concerned
that
it
doesn't
quite
fit
with
with
that
and
I
think.
This
is
the
first
time
I've
seen
this
kind
of
Direction
and
it
could
I
don't
know
if
it
had
a
domino
effect
I'd
be
concerned
about
it.
W
AH
Mr
Mayor
I'll
start
off
with,
maybe
my
colleague
Don
might
want
to
top
me
up,
but
what
I
will
say
is
that
we
are
already
reviewing
the
current
front-end
policy,
so
my
my
teams
and
Don's
team
are
already
going
through
that
process,
so
we're
already
looking
into
that
element.
So
we
probably
already
addressed
that
component
of
the
motion,
but
maybe
down
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
want
to
top
anything
up
on
that.
K
K
Thanks
for
the
question,
counselor
Mr,
Mayor,
I
think
the
the
counselor's
intention
here
is
is
is
not
you
know
from
an
equity
point
of
view,
it's
it's
tying
development
charge
Revenue
to
the
area
where
it's
collected
for
front-ending
projects.
So
it's
it's
just
a
different
way
of
collecting
and
expending
development
charge
dollars
that
we'll
be
exploring
through
our
review
of
the
bylaw.
W
It's
just
that
it's
tied
in
with
the
whole
Transportation
master
plan
and
I
just
didn't-
want
to
get
into
an
area
getting
funding
because
they
have
development
charges
versus
you
know
our
overall
plan,
I
wasn't
thinking
in
terms
of
different
charges.
I
was
thinking
in
terms
of
just
our
strategy
of
of
connectivity
for
people.
K
W
Okay,
well
we're
just
getting
this
today,
so
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
because
it
could
have
a
domino
effect
and
that's
my
my
concern
of
sectioning
money
for
for
an
area.
Just
in
terms
of
you
know,
because
there's
some
areas
that
will
not
get
development
charges
yet
are
very
much
in
need
and
I
want
to
see.
I
want
to
see
Excellence
across
the
city,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
some
Equity
here
and
can
you
assure
me
of
that.
AI
Thank
you
for
that
Mr
air.
We
will
be
looking
as
John
mentioned,
on
the
whole
review
of
the
bylaw,
so
this
is
something
that
we
will
be
exploring.
There's
two
pieces,
one
is
the
bylaw.
The
DC
bylaw
will
be
is
reviewed
and
also
the
frontending
agreement
is
being
under
review.
So
there'll
be
more
opportunities,
we're
just
exploring
this.
This
isn't
directing
us.
It's
asking
us
to
explore
it.
Thank.

I'm
I'm,
paraphrasing
but
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
that,
after
raising
concerns
at
committee,
I
really
felt
listened
to
and
understood
about
what
was
included
and
what
might
not
have
been
included
in
the
draft
and
I've
had
several
conversations
with
staff
since
and
we've
been
working
to
address
my
concerns
in
a
way
that
they
were
also
comfortable
with
and
I,
also
want
to.
Thank
my
colleagues.
AD
So
with
that
all
the
Motions
I've
presented
are
staff
supported
the
first
one
speaks
to
adding
a
critical
link
from
the
communities
of
Bradley,
Estates,
Trails,
Edge
and
Chapel
Hill
South
to
the
proposed
Crosstown,
Bikeway
Network
and
if
you're
at
committee.
This
is
the
gap
that
I
highlighted
on
one
of
the
many
maps
that
I
put
up
on
the
screen.
AD
AD
As
long
as
I
did
a
committee,
I
promised
councilor
Libra
I
wouldn't,
but
my
ward
is
grappling
with
inadequate
Transit
service,
commute
time,
seven
minutes
to
two
hours,
one
way
missing:
an
unsafe,
active
Transportation
connections,
a
lack
of
walkable
amenities
and
employment
and
crippling
congestion
that
not
only
increases
emissions
but
compromises
Road
Safety.
So
we
are
just
adding
language
to
verify
and
acknowledge
that
these
factors
will
be
addressed
as
we
move
forward
with
the
prioritization
framework
for
part
two.
AD
So
moving
on
to
the
third
motion,
there
is
a
theme
here
and
I
do
apologize
for
not
reading
out
that
last,
therefore
be
it
resolved.
This
motion
also
responds
to
substantial
increase
in
growth
and
in
new
new
housing
starts
and
subdivision
projects
in
certain
areas
of
the
city.
I've
had
a
front
seat
to
the
rapid
growth
that
is
happening
in
the
East
End
in
my
ward
and
I
I.
Don't
think
that
we're
growing
in
a
healthy
way
and
I
do
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
seconding.
AD
This
I
think
it's
it's
crucial
that
we
prioritize
and
invest
in
major
transportation
infrastructure
projects
to
support
this
growth
and
this
intensification
in
those
neighborhoods.
If
we
want
to
meet
the
stated
goals
and
our
official
plan,
we
need
to
develop
these
areas
into
15-minute
communities.
This
will
promote
healthy,
connected
streets
and
and
really
Foster
sustainable
Urban
developments.
So
we
are
expecting
an
increase
in
the
percentage
of
funding
allocated
to
sustainable
Transportation
projects
in
the
TMP
Capital
infrastructure
plan
compared
to
previous
plans.
AD
AD
So,
while
I
fully
agree
that
there
are
limited
Alternatives
in
the
rural
area,
there
are
certain
areas
of
the
city
like
South
Orleans
Navan,
where
there
are
limited
options
and
Alternatives
as
well,
and
you
all
know
how
how
critical
the
Brian
Coburn
project
is
to
my
ward,
it
it's
a
road
project,
but
it's
also
a
bus,
Rapid
Transit
project,
an
active
Transportation
project
and
so
for
that
reason,
I'm
not
comfortable
supporting
this,
including
South,
Orleans,
Navan
or
South
Orleans,
rather
in
in
that
in
the
motion.
So
thank
you.
J
That
therefore
Clause
reads
therefore
be
resolved
that,
through
the
development
of
the
long
range
financial
plan,
staff
investigate
opportunities
to
sufficiently
and
affordably
fund
major
transportation
infrastructure
projects
in
areas
of
experiencing
significant
rapid
growth,
does
this
mean
that
these
communities
experiencing
significant
rapid
growth
will
take
priority
over
other
neighborhoods
that
have
the
same
needs
same
gaps
in
either
active
Transportation
or
major
transportation
infrastructure
projects?
Does
this
motion
give
some
neighborhoods
priority
over
others.
K
J
K
I
think
perhaps
similar
to
an
earlier
discussion.
The
benefit
is
it,
it
pulls
pulls
it
all
together
in
one
place
in
terms
of
you
know
that
action
that
the
city's
undertaking-
and
you
know
it's
it's
front
of
mind
and
clear
for
everyone.
So
again
it
provides
some
clarity
to
work
underway
or
that
will
be
undertaken.
We're.
J
Potentially
talking
about
neighborhoods
that
have
not
yet
been
built,
and
yet
residents
who
live
in
older
communities,
I
have
two
in
particular
built
75
80
years
ago.
Don't
have
infrastructure,
we
built
neighborhoods
80
years
ago,
without
bike
infrastructure
without
sidewalks
kids
walk
to
school
in
carlington,
without
a
sidewalk,
Network,
and
so
they're
saying
wait
a
minute,
we're
going
to
start
prioritizing
one
Community
or
communities
to
be
built
over
others.
J
I'm
very
concerned
with
Motions
like
this,
because
I
think
the
Optics
are
poorer
and
we're
saying
that
certain
districts
or
areas
are
more
important
or
should
have
resources
prioritized
in
their
favor
over
others.
I
think
many
of
us
who
represent
neighborhoods
that
are
older,
that
simply
have
significant
infrastructure
gaps,
could
step
up
and
say:
well,
my
residents
have
been
paying
taxes
for
decades
where's
their
infrastructure,
where,
where
are
there
so
I,
have
I,
have
significant
concerns
with
this
motion
before
us.
J
I
do
think
that
when
you
look
at
the
Active
Transportation
projects
listed
for
riverward
in
particular,
there
are
many
good
things
on
that
list,
but
there
are
many
things
that
are
not
there,
and
my
question
for
staff
is:
is
the
list
that
has
been
provided
by
Ward
constrained
by
dollars
or
the
staff
actually
believe?
This
is
an
exhaustive
list
of
all
active
Transportation
projects
that
are
needed
in
the
ward.
P
So
therefore
we
have
your.
Your
second
part
of
the
point
was:
were
there
gaps
that
we
were
not
able
to
fill
with
this
plan?
And
unfortunately,
yes,
there
were,
and
it's
simply
a
matter
of
many
of
those
gaps
being
a
very
expensive
projects,
and
we
had
to
choose
the
list
of
projects
that
in
fact
did
fit.
The
current
budget.
J
J
Where
are
all
the
gaps
per
award
that
exist,
that
we
want
to
identify
we're
not
supposed
to
be
constrained
by
dollars
yet
identify
where
all
those
gaps
exist
that
have
come
through
through
public
consultation
and
put
it
out
there,
and
then
we
go
through
a
prioritization
process.
Yes,
there
has
to
be
Financial
caps
to
this,
but
there
are
important
areas
within
my
word
not
even
addressed
in
this
list.
J
Here's
here's!
The
list
help
us
prioritize
that
list
over
the
next
seven
years
and
that's
where
I'm
concerned,
because
my
public,
my
residents,
will
see
this
listen,
say:
hey.
We
went
through
a
very
detailed
process
with
you
before
covid
I
had
sidewalk
working
groups,
I
had
a
cycling
working
group.
We
created
a
list
of
about
85
areas
that
needed
Improvement.
Some
are
identified
in
the
list
that's
before
us
today
and
others
are
not
there
and
I.
Think
that
that
is
to
me
a
major
flaw
in
this
process,
particularly
since
it's
a
major
review.
J
We
should
identify
where
the
gaps
exist
and
then
talk
about
how
we're
going
to
prioritize
and
fund
them.
So,
yes,
staff
have
done
great
work.
The
TMP
is
a
major
document,
certainly
put
it
on
the
same
level
as
the
op,
but
that
is
a
constant
thing.
I
hear
in
my
ward
and
a
major
pillar
of
my
campaign
is
active.
J
Transportation
covet
underscored
the
importance
of
neighborhoods
and
staying
within
a
neighborhood
and
enjoying
the
amenities
in
the
neighborhood,
and
if
people
can't
go
for
a
jog
or
a
walk
with
the
grandkids
or
a
stroll
to
the
park,
because
there's
no
sidewalks
to
get
them
to
school
or
safely
go
for
a
bike
ride.
That
is
an
issue
and
I.
Think
that's
why
this
is
so
important,
but
I
wanted
to
get
that
on
the
record,
Mr
Mayor
and
provide
that
those
comments.
Thank
you.
AD
Mr
American
I
respond
to
some
of
the
concerns.
Sure,
okay,
so
I,
just
just
to
provide
some
some
clarity.
So
at
committee
I
I
raised
several
concerns
in
this
part
one
we
have
five
active,
Transportation,
Awards
or
sorry
active
Transportation
projects
out
of
244
that
reside
in
Orleans
South
Navan.
We
are
creating
policies
that
say
we're
going
to
prioritize
modes
of
transportation.
That,
frankly,
don't
exist
in
my
ward
and
there
are
zero
Equity
priority:
neighborhoods
east
of
Blair
Road.
AD
V
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
so,
first
on
to
as
to
the
the
Menard
lee
promotion
with
regards
to
consideration
of
projects
with
regards
to
ghg
emissions
and
induced
demand.
That
motion
there
for
me
is
is
an
example
of
why
I'm
happy
that
we
are
approving
policy
prior
to
delaying
it
for
setting
policy
with
with
projects,
because
in
the
current
policy
as
I
read
it
I
was
very
happy
and
enthused
to
see
such
a
focus
on
induced
demand.
V
So
I
appreciate
that
minority
promotion
I
will
be
supporting
that
one.
With
regards
to
the
kitchen
motions,
I'll
admit,
I'm,
certainly
wrestling
with
not
so
much
the
first
kitchen
motion,
but
the
the
second
and
third
and
I
so
very
much
appreciate
that
councilor
kiss
is
being
a
champion
for
her.
Her
Ward
I
I.
V
Think
that
is
commendable
and
again
here
we
are,
as
counselors
wrestling
between
you
know,
advocating
for
the
needs
of
our
Awards
as
expressed
To
Us
by
our
communities,
and
then
consideration
for
the
city
as
a
whole
and
I've
been
trying
to
Grapple
with
the
implications
of
the
second
and
third
Kips
motions,
but
I.
Think
I
am
of
the
similar
mind.
The
counselor
Brockington
is
Council
Brockington
and
I.
V
V
As
you
know,
the
implementation
of
a
very
broad
policy,
which
would
have
lengthy,
long-term
implications-
and
it
feels
to
me,
like
the
approval
of
the
policy
changes
set
forth
in
the
second
and
third
kits
motions-
would
end
up
reinforcing
the
status
quo
that
we
were
trying
to
move
away
from.
It
does
feel,
and
the
fact
that
you
know
councilor
Brockington
asked
a
very
clear
question
about
how
whether
or
not
these
motions
would
prioritize
infrastructure
to
those
areas
of
rapid
growth
and
the
answer
from
GM
herwire
was
no.
V
It
would
not,
but
in
reading
the
motion
to
myself,
it
does
feel
like
I
would
and
so
it
it
feels
like
to
a
certain
extent,
there's
a
lack
of
clarity
in
the
motion,
which
would
possibly
lead
to
the
question
of
why
I
have
the
motion
there,
but
I
do
feel
that
the
approval
of
the
policy
changes
set
forth
in
those
motions
would
continue
to
prioritize
infrastructure
to
areas
of
rapid
growth
when
we
are
trying
to
I
as
I
understand
it.
De-Incentivized
rapid
growth
to
outlying
areas.
V
There
is
a
critical
infrastructure
Gap
in
my
Wards
once
in
a
while
I
I
dream
of
what
my
ward
could
look
like
by
going
onto
Google
maps
and
looking
at
what
it
looks
like
in
the
outer
Awards
and
I.
Don't
have
that
and
so
I'm
concerned
that
this
would
be
reinforcing
some
things.
50
speech,
Now,
50
question
one
question
for
the
second
kits.
V
Pardon
me
damn
quick
question
with
regards
the
second
kids
motion:
reframing
the
policy
around
prioritizing
projects
in
areas
with
unmet
demand,
which
yes
would
be
good
for
the
city,
not
just
for
outlying
Wards
question
of
Staff.
The
question
I
have
is:
how
would
this
be
determined
the
metrics
on
that
would
need
to
be
really
really
clear
and
linked
to
desired
policy
outcomes.
So
could
you
answer?
How
would
you
be
measuring
prioritizing
projects
in
areas
of
unmet
demand.
T
So
Mr
Mayor
so
as
part
of
the
modeling
exercise
for
the
next
part
of
the
the
TMP
we'll
be
looking
at
various
metrics
to
assess
the
performance
of
the
transportation
Network.
So
we'll
be
looking
at
the
volume
of
traffic
Demand
versus
the
the
capacity
of
the
network,
we'll
be
looking
at
the
the
vehicle
hours
of
travel.
V
AB
AB
AD
AB
Right
because
we
have
the
majority
of
new
development
downtown,
we
have
rapidly
aging
infrastructure.
I
just
want
to
I,
have
a
question
for
staff.
So
I'm
constantly
hearing
from
our
outer
Urban
colleagues
about
the
need
for
some
sort
of
retrofit
program
for
neighborhoods
that
were
built
with
50s
and
60
standards,
where
we
have
families
living
now
where
they
want
sidewalks.
But
the
sewers
are
not
old
enough
to
tear
up
the
street
and
build
those
sidewalks
as
part
of
a
rebuild.
T
AB
And
I
just
say:
I
I
heartily
support
that,
because
I
think
it's
extremely
important
I
think
it's
also
important
to
take
a
look
at
arterials
where
we
are
that
are
actually
highly
residential.
Like
Ken
Street
in
downtown
Ottawa,
similar
situation,
it's
a
four-lane
highway
throughout
downtown.
It
really
should
be
a
complete
Street
and
right
now,
there's
no
program
for
me
to
make
it
one,
because
the
sewers
are
not
old
enough
to
have
to
rip
it
up
and
redo
it.
AB
So
I
am
going
to
support
counselor
kits
motion
17.1,
because
I
I
still
fundamentally
believe
that
we
need
the
transportation
infrastructure
to
support
the
areas
of
rapid
growth
and
that
that
isn't
just
the
far
suburbs
it
is
in
the
core,
but
I
also
will
heartily
support
the
development
of
a
retrofit
program
for
the
older
suburbs
in
the
next
stage
of
the
TMP
and
I.
Also
support
councilor,
Menard's
motion.
I.
M
Thank
you
very
much,
Mr
Mayor.
So
generally
my
comments
on
the
transportation
master
plan.
There's
lots
of
documentation
to
review
I'm
I'm
pleased
overall
to
see
support
for
a
plan
that
aims
us
to
move
us
towards
the
goals
in
the
official
plan.
I
will
say
that
I
always
look
at
the
documents
and
think
you
know
it's
great-
that
we
have
a
goal
of
being
the
most
livable
City
by
2046.
M
P
M
Think
what's
happened
to
us
is
we
have
fallen
behind
in
terms
of
upkeep
of
of
existing
assets?
And
you
know
I
understand,
there's
two
buckets
of
money
that
there
is.
You
know
this
is
funding
for
transportation
master
plan,
but
simply
keeping
up
with
the
Assets
in
our
award
is
is
really
challenging
and
I.
Think
that's
where
a
lot
of
the
feelings
come
about
prioritizing
projects
within
other
Awards
when
we're
we've
become
the
victim
and
I'll
I'll.
M
Just
if
Melinda,
if
you
have
the
slides
I,
just
want
to
ask
a
question,
but
I'll
I'll
show
you
some
visuals.
First,
these
are
my
sidewalks
on
Alta,
Vista
Drive
and
that's
the
result
of
delays
and
delays
and-
and
my
colleague
said
you
know,
they
don't
look
good
when
they're
wet
they're
not
wet,
and
you
know
I'll
go
to
the
next
slide
as
well.
This
is
Pleasant
Park
Road.
It's
been
uplifted
by
trees,
so
there
is
no
Mobility.
M
There
is
no
ability
to
to
use
these
sidewalks
I'll
go
to
an
the
next
one,
which
is
a
walking
path
play
Fair,
Park
walkway.
You
can't
wear
sandals
on
this
path
because
you
will
get
Asphalt
in
your
toes
and
so
I
I
think
you
know
my
question
from
this.
Is
you
know,
I
I
understand
the
frustration
I
understand
when
we're
prioritizing
things
I'd
like
to
unders
and
I.
Think
my
fear
of
this
list
of
projects
is
how
are
we
prioritizing
these
a
lot
of
those
projects
linked
to
these
existing
projects
and
I'm
worried
about
delays?
M
That
may
happen
with
these
projects,
because
our
our
asset
management
projects
are
delayed.
Alta
Vista
Drive
redesign
is
delayed
years
and
years
and
years,
and
so
can
you
speak
to
how
the
prioritization
of
those
TMP
projects
within
the
list
will
work
with
the
renewal
of
current
asset
management.
So
we
don't
fall
further
behind
and
see
these
new
projects
delayed.
T
So,
as
part
of
the
next
phase
of
the
transportation
Master
Plan
update,
we
will
be
updating
the
long-range
financial
plan
and
the
growth
projects
that
the
the
transportation
plan
deals
with
feed
into
that
long-range
financial
plan.
But
so
also
do
the
maintenance
costs
that
the
city
incurs
as
well,
and
so
that
update
will
holistically
be
looking
at
the
various
Transportation
elements
that
the
city
would
be
delivering.
AJ
And
Mr
Mayor,
if
I,
can
speak
to
the
asset
management
question
as
well,
and
so
we
are
bringing
back
to
council,
updated,
Transportation,
Asset
Management
plans
which
will
include
level
of
service
in
conjunction
with
the
long-range
financial
plan,
so
that
will
be
coming
in
this
term.
A
council
as
well.
M
Yeah
I
certainly
appreciate
that
I
guess.
My
big
fear
is
given
the
delays
that
consistently
happen
and
I'll
use
Bank
Street
redesign
as
an
example
I
mean
as
a
community
member
I,
attended
those
consultations
in
in
2012,
and
we
are
beginning
the
very
beginning
phase
of
that
this
summer
and
that's
just
a
sewer
pipe
replacement
that
has
delayed
Altavista
readathon
so
that
not
it's
not
only
Road.
M
It's
the
sidewalks
I'm
concerned
that
my
TMP
projects,
my
active
Transportation
projects,
will
be
delayed
because
they
connect
to
the
actor
Transportation
projects
that
are
part
of
the
asset
management
that
that
won't
happen.
I
mean
you're
speaking
you're
going
to
bring
back
the
finances,
I'm
worried
about
the
overall
when
you're
looking
at
a
picture
picture
and
how
to
prioritize
the
TMP
projects.
Are
you
going
to
say?
Well,
there's
no
point
in
putting
this
in,
because
the
sidewalks
it
connects
to
for
the
asset
management
manual
are
six
years
delayed.
O
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
so
on
all
of
councilor
kids
motions,
I'll
be
supporting
them
and
they're,
not
even
remotely
parochial
I,
would
add.
I
think
she's
made
that
point
many
many
times.
I
think
that
you
think
about
some
of
the
challenges.
Councilor
Gower
has
in
Stittsville
the
concept.
You
know
we
have
a
few
things
in
Canada,
where
you
know
you
just
can't
get
there
from
here,
but
this
this
will
set
a
precedent
for
the
thinking
that
will
happen
when
we
have
to
look
at
tawin.
O
You
know
there's
all
kinds
of
challenges
in
the
city
where
the
road
infrastructure
is
not
even
there.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
this
is
going
to
be
something
that's
a
priority
for
the
the
counselor
Menard
motion.
The
I
just
want
to
ask
staff.
The
wording
here
is
that
staff
include
explicit
consideration.
T
O
T
No,
so
what
that
would
mean.
So,
when
we're
developing
this
plan,
we
would
be
looking
we're
looking
out
to
a
horizon
year
of
2046,
and
so
what
we'll
be
doing
is
forecasting
the
future
amount
of
travel
activity
based
on
the
approved
development
from
the
official
plan
and
from
that
we'll
be
estimating
the
amount
of
travel
that's
associated
with
that
development
and
the
modes
of
transportation
that
are
used
and
from
that
information
we'll
be
able
to
estimate
what
the
greenhouse
gas
induced
demand
would
be
under
different
network
scenarios.
T
O
Thank
you
for
that.
So,
in
effect,
if
you
had
an
area
of
town
that
was
unbelievably
congested
and
there
was
significant
greenhouse
gas
emissions
because
the
traffic
was
so
jammed
up
there
all
the
time,
so
the
people
living
there
had
to
deal
with
constant.
You
know
exhaust,
because
it's
back,
you
know,
bumper
to
bumper
traffic.
Nobody
moving
for
long
stretches
of
the
day
that
high
amount
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
May
warrant
a
white,
a
road
widening
for
more
Lanes
to
have
people
moving.
T
Mr
Mayor,
so
to
clarify
the
the
estimation
of
emissions
is
based
primarily
at
this
sort
of
network
level
on
the
amount
of
travel,
so
the
there
are
other
models
that
are
very
operational
in
nature.
That
would
look
at
stop
and
go
traffic
conditions
and
they're
usually
focused
on
a
small
stretch
of
the
road.
This
would
be
looking
at
a
network
level
analysis
and
it
will
be
saying
what
is
the
total
kilometers
of
travel
by
by
Vehicles?
T
O
I
think
this
is
largely
theoretical
at
times
when
we
talk
about
these
things
and
not
actually
based
on
accurate,
real
data
that
we
have
on
a
particular
Street.
However,
if
if
Staff
feel
that
they'd
be
able
to
do
that
and
then
put
it
in
a
report
and
give
us
some
evidence
of
what
they
determined,
that's
fine
and
then
the
last
motion
from
counselor
plant.
Do
we
have
yet
a
comment
from
staff
on
what
they
think
about
this?
The
change
in
language.
K
T
Mr
Mayor,
so
the
process
that
we
used
was
to
identify
about
10
or
so
projects
from
the
previous
TMP
that
were
approved
and
we
we
did
not
redo
a
complete
technical
analysis
of
them.
But
we
looked
at
some
of
the
performance
metrics
associated
with
those
projects
when
they
are
evaluated
back
in
in
2013
and
looked
at
the
performance
with
the
new.
The
new
framework.
T
U
So
when
we
look
at
the
the
elements
within
this
prioritization
framework,
the
idea
for
potential
of
in
of
induced
demand
and
GSG
GHB
ghg
admissions
is,
is
in
there.
Support
for
Transit
is
in
there.
So
these
these
different
pieces
are
are
that
are
within.
Many
of
these
motions
today
are
actually
already
in
the
prioritization
networks
that
are
part
of
the
phase.
One
of
the
TMP.
T
So
Mr
Mayor
to
clarify
the
the
prioritization
Frameworks.
Yes,
they
do
include
induced
demand
and
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
The
motion
in
question
speaks
to
also
considering
that
as
part
of
the
the
identification
of
projects
and
and
development
of
the
networks,
which
is
actually
the
step
before
we
prioritize
the
projects
that
make
up
the
networks.
Okay,.
T
U
So
for
those
reasons,
I
I
think
that
we
have
done
our
due
diligence
that
the
framework
prioritization
framework
was
robustly
tested
and
that
we
will
be
able
to
see
these
priorities
step
forward.
I've
made
mention
to
staff
many
times
that,
as
part
of
phase
two
I
expect
to
see
an
evaluation
plan
that
would
help
us
to
understand
how
to
review
the
tmp's
progress
against
our
guiding
principles
every
five
years
or
every
so
many
years
as
defined,
and
we'll
be
expecting
that
as
part
of
our
conversations
between
now
and
2025,
how?
U
A
AG
A
N
You
very
much
mayor.
My
question
is
really
brief:
I
think.
With
respect
to
Transit
priority
or
sorry
TMP
Equity
neighborhoods,
there
is
an
appendix
that
contains
which
neighborhoods
those
are.
How
will
the
TMP
take
into
account
changing
circumstances
of
neighborhoods
moving
forward?
Is
there
a
wiggle
room
to
add
and
subtract
Equity
priority
neighborhoods
from
the
TMP.
T
T
So
again
a
and
when
the
neighborhood
Equity
index
was
updated,
then
we
would
review
whether
that
would
prompt
any
changes
to
that
TMP
Equity
mapping.
And
if,
if
that
were
to
happen
over
the
course
of
the
next
two
years,
that
could
be
considered
as
part
of
part
two.
Otherwise
it
would
be
part
of
the
next
TMP
update.
Okay,.
N
AK
You
very
much
Mr
Mayor,
I
I
have
a
question
about
councilor
plants
motion,
so
I'm
not
sure
that
staff
can
actually
deliver
on
what's
being
asked.
My
understanding
is
that
any
decision
on
an
inter-provincial
bridge
is
strictly
Federal
jurisdiction.
So
I
was
curious
if
staff
could
provide
some
context
in
respect
to,
if
what's
being
asked
here
in
particular
the
piece
it's
about.
You
know
the
information
being
shared
with
Council
prior
to
the
finalization
of
a
decision.
AK
T
So
Mr
Mayor,
the
intent
of
the
wording,
is
to
clarify
that
staff
as
part
of
regular
work
in
being
part
of
the
the
steering
committees
for
inter-provincial
projects
would
make
sure
that
the
study
process
captures
the
a
different
Crossing
demands
and
looks
at
roading
of
trucks
through
the
downtown
and
how
they
would
access
the
different
Crossings
so
that
the
technical
analysis
is
done
correctly
and
that
that
information
would
be
presented
to
council.
For
for
their
information.
AK
So
isn't
that
when
that
have
happened
anyway,
I'm
just
I
think
we're
setting
ourselves
up
for
the
assumption
that
we
have
some
kind
of
oversight
over
what
their
decision
is.
We
know
they've
resurrected.
This
study,
God
I,
can't
even
count
how
many
times
it
seems
like
every
10
years.
They
say
well
we're
going
to
build
an
inter-provincial
bridge,
and
then
we
have
to
look
at
it
all
over
again
and
everybody
gets
upset
and
then
they
throw
their
hands
up
as
they
were
walking
away
for
another
10
years.
AK
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
absolutely
clear
with
residents
in
all
the
areas
of
the
city
in
which
the
inter
the
NCC
and
the
federal
government
are
looking
at
in
that
you
know
absolutely
the
city's
at
the
table
at
the
moment.
But
are
they
actually
asking
our
permission
for
anything?
Are
they
actually
engaging
with
us
in
terms
of
the
impacts
that
whatever
location
they
decide
on
will
have
on
our
infrastructure,
our
taxpayers,
our
dollars.
AK
Oh
yeah,
sorry
I'm
starting
to
get
in
the
weeds
and
I
don't
mean
to
be.
You
know,
bantering
back
and
forth
here,
but
the
city's
interests.
We
don't
actually
get
to
say
whether
the
feds
build
a
bridge.
If
they
want
to
build
a
bridge,
they
build
a
bridge.
We
can
stomp
our
feet
and
say
not
this
area,
not
that
area
we
can.
We
can
say
you
know
this.
AK
K
K
AK
I
really
appreciate
that
and
I
don't
mean
to
belabor
this
point
and
I
I
truly
understand
where
the
counselor
is
coming
from.
In
terms
of
this
motion,
I've
been
down
this
road.
Sorry
to
use
that
pun.
It
comes
to
the
TMP,
but
I've
been
down
this
road
with
this
bridge
twice
over
now
in
my
past
life,
as
a
community
volunteer
living
in
the
area,
I
cannot
support.
This
motion.
I
find
that
any
time
that
we
think
that
we
have
some
say
over
what
the
feds
want
to
do.
AK
We
find
ourselves
in
the
wrong
because
they
either
do
one
way
or
the
other
and
it's
their
way
or
the
highway
once
again,
I'm
all
puns
today,
so
I
appreciate
it.
I
do
know
we
need
solutions
to
truck
traffic
in
the
core.
We
absolutely
have
to
do
that,
but
I
don't
want
to
pretend
that
the
city
has
more
weight
in
this
discussion
than
what
we
actually
do,
which
at
this
point
is
none.
S
Thank
you,
chair,
I,
I,
really
appreciate
and
I
believe
counselor
kids's
motion
about
the
the
the
second
one.
It
is
incredibly
important
because
it
it
baselines
the
initial
Transportation
capacity
requirements
like
we
have
a
lot
of
residential
developments
that
are
being
approved
in
newer
areas
of
the
city
and
it
gets
approved
and
immediately
there's
a
transportation
deficit,
because
projects
that
are
on
the
books
are
actually
what
are
actually
the
condition
for
approving
a
lot
of
those
communities.
S
Think
about
Half
Moon
Bay,
which
has
gone
from
5000
to
I,
believe
25
000
in
the
last
15
years,
but
the
green
Bank
realignment,
which
is
supposed
to
be
a
multimodal
Corridor
for
the
community
to
get
to
the
rest
of
barhaven
and
out
of
barhaven,
continues
to
to
get
deferred
and
continues
to
it.
Yeah
continues
to
be
deferred,
so
there
there
are
a
lot
of
infrastructure.
S
S
So
this
this
is
especially
important
for
my
award
as
well,
because
a
lot
of
the
traffic
from
Half
Moon
Bay
a
lot
of
the
traffic
from
Riverside,
the
Riverside,
South
and
manatec
all
flow
through
my
ward,
because
there's
there's
this
insufficient
infrastructure,
otherwise
so
I
wanna,
yeah
I,
am
thankful
for
this
emotion
and
I
would
be
supporting
it.
Thank
you.
Q
Great
I'll
keep
my
comments
brief,
as
a
quick
wrap
up.
I
want
to
thank
all
my
colleagues
around
the
table.
We've
had
some
great
discussions
between
committee
and
here
today.
Finally,
I
I
desperately
wanted
to
chair
this
committee
again,
because
I
thought
I
was
going
to
do
the
TMP
last
term
and
and
I
was
so
entrenched
and
involved
with
it,
but
to
now
we're.
Finally,
at
the
day
where
we're
actually
going
to
put
a
policy
forward,
that's
going
to
make
our
city
a
much
more
livable
and
better
place
to
be.
Q
That
being
said,
I
want
to
thank
our
professional
staff
that
have
spent
countless
hours.
Even
video
is
on
phone
calls
last
night
on
our
holidays,
speaking
to
members
of
accounts,
to
ensure
that
we
had
this
in
place.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
it's
going
to
be
a
loss
for
the
city.
Islaco
I
did
make
mention
during
our
our
committee
meeting
is
going
on
to
new
career
path,
but
we'll
be
desperately
missed
by
the
cycling
Community
by
staff
here,
and,
and
thank
you
for
all
your
work
that
you've
done
within
our
city.
Q
AD
I
wrap
up
all
my
emotions
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
just
wanted
to
say
in
closing,
I
appreciate
the
cons.
Some
of
the
concerns
that
have
been
raised
by
my
colleagues,
I
hope,
I've,
clarified,
I'm,
not
trying
to
disrupt
Equity
or
Equitable
investment
across
the
city
and
I
said
this
at
committee,
but
I'll
say
it
again.
Yes,
of
course,
I
am
advocating
for
my
ward,
but
I
am
also
advocating
for
our
city
to
build
healthy
communities.
AD
I
have
always
struggled
with
the
fact
that
we
have
this
ambitious,
forward-thinking,
brand,
new
official
plan
that
talks
about
sustainable
transportation
and
15-minute
communities,
and
yet
the
area
of
the
city,
where
we're
currently
building
where
we
have
that
blank
slate
where
people
haven't
bought
that
second
car,
we
are
not
giving
those
communities
the
option
to
be
those
healthy.
15-Minute,
neighborhoods
and
I
really
appreciate
counselor
Lowe's
comments,
because
by
putting
these
projects
in
the
plan
and
then
not
realizing
them,
they
are
used
as
the
rationale
for
higher
density.
AD
My
word
does
not
look
like
counselor
counselor
dudas's
word.
It
is
much
higher
density
and
we
are
putting
those
as
counselor
said,
you're
at
an
immediate
infrastructure
deficit
as
soon
as
they're
created
residents
in
my
area
do
drive
because
their
bus
commute
to
downtown
is
90
minutes,
one
way
because
their
bike
route
is
Innis,
Road
or
Renault
Road.
It's
not
safe,
because
there
is
no
ability
to
walk
to
amenities
or
to
your
workplace
from
Bradley
Estates
as
an
example
to
the
closest
grocery
store.
It
is
an
hour
walk
to
the
grocery
store.
AD
It
is
a
30
minute,
Transit
trip
if
your
Bus
shows
up.
So
if
the
goal
of
this
TMP
is
to
increase
the
share
of
trips
by
sustainable
Transportation
modes,
then
we
need
those
options
to
exist
not
only
in
South
Orleans
but
everywhere
in
the
city,
where
we're
experiencing
growth
and
I
do
want
our
city
to
grow
in
a
healthy
way
and
realize
that
modal
shift,
so
we
need
to
account
for
for
growth
in
that
equation.
Thank
you.
I
As
well
one
minute,
thank
you
so
much
mayor
appreciate
that,
and
the
discussion
around
the
table
has
been
very
good.
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize.
Obviously,
if
you
live
in
a
suburban
community,
there's
a
battle,
sometimes
between
connectivity
and
Road,
widening
right,
there's
a
lot
of
areas,
Green
Bank
realignment!
You
can
think
about
Bar
Haven,
Orleans
Navin,
where
there's
connectivity
issues,
it's
not
just
a
road
Whiting
issue
and
I
think
we
have
to
always
balance
those
out
and
there's.
I
I
This
is
the
type
of
thing
that
would
help
you
get
that
connectivity
over
say
some
other
projects
that
may
be
very
expensive,
but
not
give
you
that
connectivity
under
the
current
framework
staff
support
the
motion
and
I
appreciate
you
bringing
it
forward
and
working
with
with
me
to
refine
the
language,
as
well
as
the
rural
area,
cancers
who
expressed
a
friendly
Amendment,
which
I
think
is
which
is
important.
So
mayor
I,
hope
that
this
motion
can
be
supported
and
just
appreciate.
The
discussion
on
the

Thank

okay?
Thank
you
everyone.
So
let's
go
back
to
item
10
on
the
agenda,
which
feels
like
a
long
time
ago.
Now
was
the
Ottawa
Board
of
Health
annual
report
and
I
know
councilor,
Brockington
and
possibly
others
might
have
had
questions
about
that.
So
if
we
could
ask
the
folks
from
Ottawa
Public
Health
to
come
forward
and
we
can
address
those
questions.
J
Thank
you
to
you
and
your
staff
for
all
the
great
work
at
Ottawa,
Public,
Health
and
I
appreciated
reading
the
annual
report
in
the
report.
You
touch
upon
key
accomplishments
from
your
strategic
plan,
the
2019
to
2022
strategic
plan
and
one
of
the
areas
of
focus,
and
rightly
so.
At
that
time,
when
this
was
created
was
the
promotion
of
mental
health.
We
saw
the
importance
of
resources
for
mental
health
really
come
on
the
front
front
burner
during
covid.
J
Certainly
Ottawa
Public
Health
recognized
this
as
a
significant
issue
in
our
community
and
across
our
Province
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
sort
of
in
the
later
parts
of
covet,
particularly
focusing
on
2022,
which
this
is
about
your
annual
report,
how
oph
pivoted
to
direct
more
resources
to
oph.
If
you
could
talk
about
who
you're
working
with
in
the
community
since
you
can't
address
every
challenge
with
respect
to
mental
health
and
going
forward,
this
issue
is
not
going
away.
It's
it's
probably
an
even
greater
problem
now
than
it
was
before.
Covid
started.
AN
Well,
thank
you
through
you
mayor
and
thank
you
for
the
question.
Counselor
you're,
absolutely
right
that
I
fully
expect.
Our
next
strategy,
which
will
be
approved
by
the
Board
of
Health,
will
recommend
that
it
continue
to
focus
on
mental
health
and
substance,
use
both
the
public
health
role
of
trying
to
keep
people
well
and
helping
people
with
the
information
they
need
to
know
where
to
turn.
If
they
need
more
supports.
AN
Sorry,
there
is
some
construction
just
over
here
outside
the
window
at
City
Hall,
if
there's
background
noise
and
what
what
we
were
working
on
in
2022
were
a
few
things
like
that.
One
of
the
public
health
roles
is
to
measure
health
so
to
understand
what
is
happening
with
the
mental
health
and
substance
because
of
our
our
city,
and
so
that
work
has
come
through
fruition
in
a
dashboard,
that's
been
launched.
You
know,
thinking
of
that
idea
of
the
covet
dashboard.
We've
we've
just
launched
this
to
to
take
a
look
at.
AN
Do
people
have
what
they
need
to
have
mental
health
in
our
city?
How
are
they
doing,
and
it's
been
further
developed
this
year
into
understanding?
Are
people
able
to
access
what
they
need?
What
are
the
waiting
times?
What
are
the
outcomes
so
that
work?
It's
the
many
partners
who
have
different
pieces
of
the
data.
AN
We
also
worked
in
our
neighborhood
hubs,
so
where
we
understand
there
are
populations
with
greater
disadvantage
of
lots
of
systemic
reasons.
Why
we're
making
sure
in
those
hubs
where
we
have
the
appropriate
staff
who
speak
the
right
languages
and
can
connect
with
people
that
they're
able
to
do
the
linkage?
You
know
assessment
and
linkage
that
people
need
to
to
Mental
Health
and
Social
supports.
So
one
of
the
the
sources
of
data.
AN
That's
new
in
our
area
is
from
the
one
call
One
Click
or
access
mha,
two
points
like
one
point
of
contact
for
mental
health
and
Addiction
Services
for
adults
and
for
children.
What
we're
seeing
there
is
people
are
coming
forward
with
Social
Services
as
well
as
mental
health
needs,
they're,
concurrent
and
so
we're
that's.
AN
AN
The
Board
of
Health
took
some
positions
to
write
to
Ontario
Health
to
describe
what
we're
seeing
the
communities
are
to
ask
them
to
continue
to
support
priorities
that
work
with
Ontario.
Health
is
again
something
that
we
see.
We
need
to
be
strategic
about
how
we
help
inform
them
and-
and
and
we
know
there-
there
has
been
some
new
funding
for
mental
health
in
the
latest
provincial
budget.
So
we
look
forward
to
to
seeing
how
that
could
make
a
difference.
AN
So
we
do
that
directly
with
some
families,
with
our
nurses
and
home
visitors,
supporting
people
in
homes
where
the
most
support
is
needed
and
then
working
with
schools.
So
our
school
team
was
sharing
resources
about
where
to
turn
for
help
and
we're
looking
to
really
bolster
that
in
the
coming
year
around
online
resources
that
any
parent
and
family
could
draw
on
not
always
needed
treatment.
AN
J
Yes,
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
Those
details
and
I'm
I'm
comforted
comforted
by
your
comments
that
the
next
strategic
plan
that
your
board
will
address
may
include
a
continuance
on
Mental
Health
matters.
So
I'm
I'm
pleased
to
hear
that
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
sure,
similar
to
all
of
my
colleagues
when
I'm
out
in
the
community
and
I
meet
with
Community
groups,
I
speak
with
principals
I'm,
struck
by
the
number
of
comments
about
children
and
youth
who
are
struggling
with
mental
health
issues
at
levels
never
seen
before.
J
All
the
way
up
to
older
adults,
sitting
beside
someone
from
the
Pearly
hospital
yesterday
at
a
luncheon,
and
she
was
saying
they
had
seen
significant
cognitive
and
physical
deterioration
of
their
residents,
particularly
during
the
covid
years,
and
if
there's
anything
that
I
can
do
at
Amo
working
in
partnership
with
oph
on
this
matter
or
any
other
matter.
Please
that
that
Olive
Branch
is
always
there,
but
I'm
very
concerned
that
families
that
need
professional
assistance
are
confronting
a
wait
list
to
get
treatment.
J
That
is
again
timelines
that
have
never
been
seen
before,
and
it's
not
a
one-off.
It's
it's
easy
for
my
office
staff
to
provide
information
to
a
family
who
needs
help,
but
the
magnitude
of
this
problem
in
our
city
and
again
across
the
province
is
there
so
I.
Look
I,
really
appreciate
the
work
oph
is
doing
in
this
regard
and
all
the
issues
that
you
tackle
but
I
wanted
to
raise
that
because
it
is
something
that
is
very
shocking
to
see
how
many
people
are
impacted
by
mental
health
challenges.
So
thank
you,
doctor.
AD
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I
wasn't
going
to
hold
the
item.
I've
chewed
up
a
lot
of
air
time,
but
since
it
is
held,
I
have
to
take
the
opportunity
just
to
congratulate
and
thank
Ottawa
Public
Health
we're
contemplating
their
annual
report.
I
think
the
covid-19
response
cannot
be
overstated.
The
m-pox
response,
the
expansion
of
Neighborhood,
Health
and
Wellness
hubs,
oph's
diversity,
audit,
which
is
resulting
in
Health
Equity
diversity
and
inclusion
plan
and
and
the
many
digital
solutions
that
they've
explored
to
improve
how
public
health
is
delivered
and
I.
AD
A
A
Emotions,
okay,
so
that
was
covered
off
in
the
initial
motion
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
So
with
the
waiver
of
rules,
we
are
going
to
hear
the
staff
report
and
then
and
then
open
it
up
to
questions
from
counselors,
so
go
ahead.
Please
and
thank
you
to
staff
for
preparing
this
report
on
on
a
tight
timetable.
AO
AO
I
would
like
to
begin
first
by
acknowledging
that
the
provincial
government
is
a
significant
partner
to
us
in
investing
in
Solutions
and
interventions
to
end
homelessness,
to
build
Supportive
Housing
and
for
other
community
and
very
important
Outreach
support
services.
This
funding
is
the
foundation
for
municipalities
across
Ontario
to
provide
affordable
housing
and
housing
support
services
for
people
at
risk
of
or
experiencing
homelessness.
AO
Thank
you,
mayor,
Sutcliffe,
for
your
and
your
and
to
your
staff
for
your
advocacy
support
to
date.
Thank
you
to
Our
Community
Partners,
who
work
tirelessly
every
single
day
to
address
what
we
think
and
know
is
a
community
crisis,
and
thank
you
to
our
staff
and
Community
social
services
and
I
have
Paul
Levine
here
at
the
table
as
well.
Who
is
the
director
of
Housing,
Services
and
I?
Do
thank
you
for
that
recognition,
Mr
Mayor.
They
pulled
this
together
very
quickly.
AO
The
presentation
provides
background
on
the
homelessness
prevention
program,
funding
allocation
and
implications
of
that
funding.
Allocation.
Next
slide,
please
in
March
of
2022,
the
Ministry
of
Municipal,
Affairs
and
Housing
merged
three
funding
programs
into
one
single,
more
flexible
program
called
the
homelessness
prevention
program.
AO
At
that
time,
the
province
confirmed
their
commitment
to
increasing
affordable
housing
and
reducing
homelessness
through
an
investment
of
almost
1.1
billion
dollars.
Provincial
funding
contributes
to
two-thirds
of
our
homelessness
funding
portfolio
and
provides
critical
Investments
to
respond
to
community
needs
next
slide.
Please.
AO
My
way
of
background,
the
HPP
program
supports
Ontario's
47
municipalities,
with
the
objective
to
support
service
managers
and
preventing
addressing
and
reducing
homelessness,
including
chronic
homelessness.
The
program
is
intended
to
be
flexible
as
I
said,
and
so
that
service
managers
can
Target
funding
where
it's
most
needed,
make
the
most
impact
on
reducing
preventing
homelessness
and
the
eligible
categories
of
funding
under
this
program
are
community
outreach,
emergency
shelter,
Solutions
housing
assistance,
Supportive,
Housing,
Supportive,
Housing
capital
and
emergency
shelter
capital
as
a
benchmark.
The
city
of
ottawa's
2022-2023
initial
HPP
allocation
was
47
619
500..
AO
That
has
been
has
confirmed
that
they
will
receive
48
million
dollars
in
an
increase
not
receiving
what
we
would
call
a
fair
and
a
proportionate
funding
increase
will
result
in
a
funding
Gap
in
2024
of
approximately
17
million
dollars
just
to
maintain
current
services
and
to
break
down
that
Gap.
It's
really
consists
of
four
key
elements:
funding
for
physical
distancing
centers
at
10
million
dollars,
and
this,
of
course,
is
a
compassionate
and
reasonable
response.
AO
Finally,
the
homelessness
program
service
contracts
at
1.9
million
dollars
includes
extraordinary
and
emergency
costs
related
to
transitional
and
how
and
and
Housing
search
supports
for
newcomers,
including
Ukrainian
settlement,
supports
cost
of
living
adjustments
and
cost
of
living.
Adjustments
for
the
homeless
Intervention
Program
contracts
next
slide.
AO
The
city
is
looking
for
proportionate
investment
from
the
province,
which
would
be
an
allocation
of
18
to
20
million
dollars,
at
the
very
least,
to
cover
operational
costs
to
sustain
existing
Services,
which
we
would
believe
would
be
the
same
level
of
consideration
provided
to
that
of
the
city
of
Toronto
next
slide
to
put
iOS
allocation
into
perspective.
I
think
this
slide
demonstrates
clearly
that
ottawa's
portion
is
very
small.
That's
I
think
an
understatement.
AO
For
today,
ottawa's
400,
845
1100
increase
as
I
mentioned,
represents
point
four
percent
of
the
total
provincial
allocation
and
an
approximate
1.8
increase
to
our
base
budget
in
comparison.
Toronto's
population
is
three
times
out
of
Ottawa
and
their
allocation
is
48
million
dollars,
which
is
almost
60
times
the
allocation
increase
for
Ottawa.
AO
Next
slide
for
further
comparison
and
additional
context
here
is
a
visual
of
the
various
Municipal
municipalities
and
their
populations.
So
when
compared
to
the
populations
of
other
municipalities
and
regions
in
Ontario,
it
is
clear
that
Toronto
and
peel
receive
proportionate
increases,
reflecting
the
needs
in
their
communities.
AO
Ottawa
is
the
second
largest
city
by
population
in
Ontario.
It
is
geographically
larger
than
Calgary
Edmonton,
Toronto,
Montreal
and
Vancouver
combined
ottawa's,
housing
and
homelessness
system
faces
enormous
challenges
and
pressures,
including
higher
needs,
necessitating
a
coordinated
layered
approach
for
Solutions
related
to
supportive
and
transitional
housing.
These
pressures
led
to
City
council's
decision
in
July
in
January
of
2020
to
declare
a
housing
and
homelessness
crisis
in
Ottawa.
We
have
reported
those
challenges
to
the
province
as
staff
over
the
past
years,
and
previous
councils
have
advocated
for
funding
increases
that
are
in
proportion
to
our
local
needs.
AO
AO
In
terms
of
pressures
locally,
the
number
of
individuals
accessing
shelters
for
the
first
time
continues
to
Trend
upwards,
with
over
a
quarter
of
those
accessing
shelters
in
2022
doing
so.
For
that
first
time,
ottawa's
local
shelters
are
operating
over
capacity
with
our
family
shelter
system
operating
at
360
six
percent
over
capacity,
and
this,
of
course,
has
necessitated
the
use
of
hotels,
motels
and
in
the
summer,
post-secondary
residences
for
placements.
AO
AO
The
proposed
funding
level,
as
announced
by
The
Province,
will
compromise
our
commitment
to
build
between
570
and
850
new
Supportive
Housing
units
each
year,
as
outlined
in
our
10-year
housing
and
homelessness
plan.
That
was
approved
by
Council,
of
course,
and
by
the
province
and
that's
an
important
program.
It
is
one
way
of
moving
people
out
of
chronic
homelessness
into
housing,
since
2006
650
units
of
Supportive
Housing
were
created
and
at
present,
230
units
are
under
development
and
most
are
expected
to
become
operational
over
the
next
18
months.
AO
AO
So,
finally,
the
actions
that
we
will
continue
to
take
the
next
steps
will
continue
to
advocate
for
Ottawa
to
receive
its
fair
share
of
funding
and
proportion
it
to
our
local
needs.
As
mentioned
18
to
20
million
dollars
would
be
on
par
with
what
proportionately,
Toronto
is
set
to
receive
a
detailed
homelessness
prevention
prevention
plan.
Prime
investment
plan
will
be
presented
at
Community
Services
committee
on
May
23rd
and
to
City
Council
on
May
24th
for
approval.
Our
hope
is
that
we
would
see
a
reconsideration
of
ottawa's

amount
before
that

AO
Meeting
staff
are
committed
to
implement
council's
Direction
and
commitment
to
end
chronic
homelessness
and
to
invest
in
more
intensive
Supportive
Housing
Solutions.
We
will
not
stop
in
the
in
that
goal.
Staff
will
also
continue
to
work
with
the
province
and
federal
funding
partners
and
work
with
our
very
dedicated
Community
Partners
to
achieve
these
goals.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
that
concludes
our
presentation.
A
Thank
you
for
that
excellent
presentation,
and
just
before
I
open
it
up
to
counselors.
If
you
could
just
speak
to
the
I've,
read
in
the
media
that
the
ministry's
response
has
been
that
that
Ottawa
was
disproportionately
funded
in
the
past
that
that
this
reflects
on
some
level
that
somehow,
presumably
we
uniquely
were
receiving
too
much
money
in
the
past.
So
this
is
a
recalibration
to
bring
us
back
in
line
with
what
other
municipalities
are
funding.
Could
you
just
speak
to
that?
Please.
AO
Yes,
I
can
start
and
then
perhaps
Paul
can
add
some
more
detail.
There
was
an
Auditor's
report
approximately
two
years
ago
that
looked
at
how
this
funding
was
distributed
across
municipalities
across
Ontario
and
yes,
the
province
has
said
that
their
goal
is
to
reproportion
the
funding
in
a
more
Equitable
way.
What
we've
asked
is
to
see
how
the
funding
was
allocated
to
Toronto.
When
we
look
at
Toronto's
portion,
it
does
not
appear
to
be
a
consistent
application
of
the
auditor's
auditor
generals
or
recommendations.
AO
A
So,
just
to
just
to
amplify
that
a
little
bit,
if
you
don't
mind
it,
if,
if
the
intent
had
been
to
allocate
more
funding
to
rural
communities
and
smaller
communities
than
than
a
you,
would
have
expected
to
see
Toronto's
number
proportionate
to
our
number,
but
it
that
that
doesn't
seem
to
line
up
with
the
answer
they're
giving
since
Toronto's
number
is
60
times.
What
our
number
is.
Is
that
fair
to
say.
AP
There
was
about
the
list
of
10
cities
that
would
have
seen
substantial
decrease
in
their
funding
based
on
the
auditor's
preferred
model.
Now
the
minutes
The
Province
committed
during
that
audit
report
to
review
the
funding
model
and
work
with
service
managers
on
an
appropriate
service
model
consult
with
us
and
the
sector
Partners
to
come
up
with
the
model
and
to
our
knowledge.
There's
there's
been
no
consultation.
So
it's
it's
difficult
to
ascertain
precisely
what
what
the
model
is.
AP
A
And
last
question,
and
then
I'll
turn
it
over
to
my
colleagues,
but
so
you're
you're,
saying
that
if
the
because
the
government
is
and
the
ministry
are
citing
the
auditor
General's
report,
because
you're
saying
the
numbers
that
we
just
put
up
on
the
screen
here
are
not
consistent
with
what
was
doing
in
the
auditor
General's
report.
Otherwise,
the
the
proportionate
difference
between
Ottawa
and
Toronto
would
not
be.
What
it
is
is
that
is.
AP
Well,
the
auditor
proposed
how
they
would
have
redistributed
the
current
funding,
but
what
they
tossed
The
Province
to
do
is
that
you
need
to
come
up
with
a
different
model
in
the
future,
and
you
need
to
do
that
in
collaboration
with
your
service
managers.
So,
in
the
absence
of
such
process,
we're
unable
to
ascertain
what
how
this
new
model
aligns
with
the
recommendations
of
the
auditors.
A
Right
but
the
conclusion
of
the
auditor
general
was
that
Toronto
and
Ottawa
were
in
the
same
boat
effectively
effectively.
So
so,
therefore,
therefore,
if,
if
the,
if
the,
if
this
allocation
in
the
2023
provincial
budget
was
reflective
of
the
auditor
General's
report,
then
then
our
share
and
Toronto
share
would
would
both
have
been
lowered,
not
Toronto's,
share
being
high
and
ours
being
low,
correct.
Okay,
thank
you.
Counselor
troster.
AB
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
and
thank
you
to
City
staff.
Homelessness
is
an
absolute
crisis
in
downtown
Ottawa
and
City
staff
has
been
working
diligently
with
my
staff
to
try
to
help
in
some
crisis
situations
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks.
So
I
sincerely
appreciate
that
I
have
a
number
of
questions
you
keep
referring
to
the
Gap
in
funding
being
for
2024
I
just
wanted
to
know
if
there
are
any
impacts
this
year.
AO
AB
AO
AB
AB
No,
absolutely
and
I
think
every
one
of
us
around
the
table
understands
how
absolutely
brutal
it
is
a
decision.
It
is
to
say:
does
this
community
get
Recreation
services
or
do
we
use
this
as
a
shelter
for
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness?
And
we
shouldn't
have
to
make
that
choice?
And
so
I'm,
just
saying
to
my
colleagues
around
the
table
if
the
province
doesn't
come
to
the
table
with
the
money,
we're
asking
for
we're.
AB
Gonna
have
to
have
a
serious
conversation
about
budget
2024
and
what
we
can
afford
as
a
city
and
I
would
posit
that
we
can't
afford
to
allow
homelessness
to
continue
at
a
moral
and
an
economic
level.
It's
hard
to
even
convey
the
depth
of
need
and
the
word
that
I
represent
with
people
living
in
tense
and
in
stairways.
AB
We
have
shelters
that
are
overflowing
rooming
houses
with
absolutely
horrendous
conditions,
with
no
safe
housing
to
send
people
to
so
when
Bilo
needs
to
go
in
because
because
some
of
these
buildings
are
unfit
for
human
habitation,
it
means
that
we're
immediately
making
those
residents
homeless
and
have
absolutely
no
place
to
send
them
and
the
out
credit
about
the
need
to
end
chronic
chronic
homelessness
increase.
Their
Frontline
Services
is
coming
from
absolutely
everyone.
AB
I
speak
to
business
owners,
bias
and
I
just
want
to
emphasis
and
mayor
I
know
you
know
this,
but
the
critical
health
of
our
downtown
is
at
risk.
We
cannot
Revitalize
and
innovate
and
attract
tourism
when
we
continue
to
treat
human
beings
with
such
object,
disregard
for
their
dignity
and
again
I
know
the
city
is
doing
everything
it
can,
but
we
need
the
province
to
fund
this
properly,
and
we
also
need
to
have
a
conversation
about
priorities.
AB
AB
So
I
I
know
I'm
incredibly
frustrated
to
see
Ottawa
seen
as
an
afterthought
by
this
provincial
government.
Again
and
you
know,
I
know
the
Neighbors
in
my
ward
felt
abandoned
during
the
Convoy
and
now
even
after
the
mayor
has
engaged
in
the
spirit
of
good
faith,
they're
abandoning
us
again.
So
if
members
of
the
Ford
government
are
listening
to
this
meeting,
I
implore
you
to
give
Ottawa
our
fair
share,
so
we
can
begin
to
address
our
housing
and
homelessness
emergency.
AB
We
declared
this
an
emergency
in
2020.,
it's
it's
gotten
so
much
worse
and
to
council
colleagues.
This
should
serve
as
a
warning.
That
of
other
levels
of
government
are
not
necessarily
going
to
bail
us
out
when
there's
holes
in
our
budget,
and
we
need
a
tax
rate
that
meets
the
scale
of
the
Urgent
needs
in
our
community
because
ending
chronic
homelessness.
It's
both
a
moral
and
an
economic
imperative.
So
thank
you
very
much.
W
And
thank
you
for
the
initiative
of
writing
this
letter.
Of
course,
we're
very
concerned
about
it
and
I
want
to
thank
staff
as
well.
Recognizing
the
importance
of
the
homelessness
program
and
I
also
want
to
thank
our
partners
at
the
alliance
to
end
homelessness,
who
have
really
been
on
the
ground
and
really
understand.
What's
going
on
out
there
as
well
as
chair
of
Ottawa,
Community
Housing
I,
understand
the
importance
of
deep,
affordable
housing
and
how
badly
it's
needed.
W
We're
housing
currently
32
000
residents,
that's
in
15
000
units,
but
there's
twelve
thousand
on
the
waiting
list.
It's
it's
more
than
we
can
possibly
handle
right
now.
We
also
have
shelters
that
are
overflowing.
We
know
that
and
we're
not
even
counting
the
ones
where
it's
on
intimate
partner
violence
where
people
are
fleeing
from
their
homes.
This
is
absolutely
essential
and
I
want
to
know
which
projects
are
in
Jeopardy,
because
I'm
concerned,
because
Ottawa
Community
Housing
is
not
just
housing.
W
AO
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Through
you,
Mr
Mayor,
given
the
this
announcement,
our
staff
are
working
very
diligently
to
analyze
the
impacts
we
provided.
What
we
believe
is
a
picture
of
what
the
potential
impacts
will
be.
We
are
taking
that
back.
We
are
analyzing
it
and
we'll
be
assessing
how
we
move
forward
in
2022
and
we'll
be
bringing
that
information
back
to
council
as
part
of
the
housing
long-range
financial
plan.
That's
part
of
the
housing
Capital
plan
and
as
part
of
the
housing
transitional
plan,
so
difficult
to
speculate.
W
I
appreciate
it
because
it
is
a
hard
blow
and
there
are
I
can
say
that
projects
are
in
the
pipeline
and
they're
desperately
needed
very
much,
and
this
is
part
of
our
10-year
plan
and
it
won't
be
possible
to
achieve
without.
Without
this
funding,
we
need
Partners
at
all
levels.
We
need
our
federal
Partners
as
well.
We
need
our
provincial
Partners
to
to
get
homelessness
solved.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work
and
I'll
be
fully
supporting
this
initiative.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you
very
much
Mr
Mayor
and
thank
you
for
writing
the
letter
and
thank
you
to
staff
for
presenting
this
I
will
say
that
since
I
started
at
my
term,
this
is
probably
the
most
terrifying
and
upsetting
thing
that
I've
heard
I.
Think
most
people
around
the
table
here
are
aware
that,
in
my
ward,
two
of
my
three
community
centers
are
currently
housing
over
a
hundred
people
who
are
housed
in
these
physical
distancing,
centers
and
they've
been
taking
advantage
the
city
of
the
of
the
social
services
Relief
Fund.
M
M
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
be
to
to
visit
these
centers,
and
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
these
centers
have
essentially
been
delivering
Supportive
Housing
in
a
community
facilities,
yes
at
the
expense
of
Youth
at
the
expense
of
of
seniors
at
the
expense
of
other
vulnerable
people.
But
the
city
made
that
decision
to
help.
You
know
they
had
to
make
a
decision
about.
You
know
who's
the
most
vulnerable.
M
What
what
a
terrible
position
to
be
in
so
what
I
want
to
know
is
you
know
when
I
brought
this
to
the
table
to
talk
about
the
need?
Just
you
know.
Six
weeks
ago
we
talked
about
the
need
to
purchase
facilities,
to
provide
Capital
funding
through
the
the
rhi
funding
to
be
able
to
house
these
people.
A
lot
of
my
fellow
counselors
around
the
table
didn't
know
that
this
was
happening
in
my
community
and
that
I
was
housing
these
folks
it.
M
My
local
MPP,
is
the
leader
of
the
liberal
party
and
has
yet
to
make
a
statement
of
them.
Perhaps
he
doesn't
know
so.
I
would
like
to
first
ask
staff.
Is
the
province
aware
that
we
have
close
to
you
know
150
people
who
require
Supportive
Housing
beds?
Are
they
aware
that
of
the
12
000
people
on
our
social
Housing
Registry
list?
M
Some
of
them
do
get
placed
in
at
home,
because
homelessness
is
a
priority,
probably
aren't
ready
to
take
that
unit
on
and
are
therefore
lapsing
that
unit,
because
they're
they're,
unable
to
support
without
Supportive
Housing
is
the
province.
Aware
of
this
just
seems
to
be
too
glaring
of
an
error
for
them
not
to
be
aware.
AO
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Through
you,
Mr
Mayor,
from
a
staff
position.
We
provide
updates
to
the
province
regularly.
With
regard
to
the
funding
we
receive,
how
it's
applied
every
time
we
provide
an
update
to
the
province.
We
must
provide
demographics
and
statistics
and
a
good
picture
of
need
in
our
community
from
a
staffing
from
a
staff
perspective.
We
believe
that
we've
provided
an
accurate
picture
to
the
ministry
of
the
local
needs.
M
Thank
you
for
that
and
I'll
just
ask
a
follow-up
question.
Well,
my
first
follow-up
question.
So
staff
are
aware,
when
I
look
at
how
the
funding
has
been
allocated.
Yes,
there's
a
glaring
Quest
question
about
Auto
in
Toronto
when
you
say
that
Kenora
has
been
receiving
the
most
I
mean
I'm,
going
to
assume
that's
because
they
receive
a
lot
of
folks
from
indigenous
communities
that
come
into
that
Community.
Here
in
Ottawa
we
receive
thousands
and
thousands
of
people
who
are
new
Canadians
that
live
in
our
hotels
and
motels.
M
You
know,
we've
got
I,
think
35
service
agreements
to
to
help
support
this
growing
population.
We
don't
put
people
on
the
street.
Many
of
these
folks
actually
require
the
assist
Supportive
Housing.
Have
you
been
working
with
rocc
to
help
put
supports
with
this
and
is
the
province
aware
of
this
fact,
when
you
know
when
you've
been
discussing
the
the
allocation
formula.
AO
AP
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
and
yes,
we
we
have
been
working
closely
with
with
ircc
to
to
mitigate
the
issues.
The
impact
on
on
our
system.
We
have
another
meeting
coming
up,
I've
requested
another
meeting
to
work
out
again
some
of
the
issues,
it's
very
complex.
It's
it's
not
easy
to
solved,
but
we
are
the
communication.
Lines
are
open
and
we
are
negotiating
and
we
are
trying
to
work
together
to
to
get
the
best
outcome.
So
absolutely
with
our
RCC.
M
Okay
am
I.
Probably
my
last
question
is
you
know
we
you
mentioned:
we've
got
about
150
people
in
the
pdc's
presently,
but
I'm
aware
over
the
course
of
the
past
three
years,
you've
actually
managed
to
house
200
of
those
folks
who
were
originally
assigned
to
pdcs.
The
tide
has
not
stopped.
We
continue
to
have
more
and
more
people
that
qualify
for
Supportive
Housing
for
a
number
of
reasons,
whether
it's
you
know,
addictions,
mental
health,
whatever
the
economy,
whatever's
prevented
people
from
being
able
to
cope
without
those
supports
and
and
so
I
guess.
M
When
I
see
this
presentation
and
I
hear
that
the
social
services
Relief
Fund,
that
was
provided
in
covert
that
allowed
us
to
have
this
model
where
the
city
was
effectively
delivering
Supportive
Housing
in
in
our
community,
centers
is,
is
ceasing
and
we're
essentially
cutting
the
funding.
What
is
going
to
happen
to
these
people
in
the
community,
centers
I,
understand
we're
bringing
back
reports
and
we're
going
to
think
of
options,
but
ultimately-
and
and
perhaps
this
isn't
a
question
for
staff,
but
this
is
a
question
of
council.
M
We
can
write
letters
all
we
want,
but
I
I
think
we
need
to
discuss
what
we're
going
to
do
about
this
situation
and
I'd
like
everyone
to
think
about
what
action
they're
going
to
take,
because
this
is
really
really
a
crisis
in
our
community.
So
I
don't
need
staff
to
answer
that
question.
I'm
I'm
asking
everyone
around
the
table
to
reflect
about
what
they
can
do.
Thank
you.
N
The
updated
model
is
based
on
a
community
share
of
homelessness,
Supportive
Housing
units,
low-income
households,
households
and
deep
core
housing
need,
as
defined
by
the
cmhc
and
Indigenous
and
youth
populations.
So
the
minister
says
this
has
been
explained
to
us
several
times.
Do
we
have
that
math?
N
AO
Thank
you,
and
through
you,
Mr
Mayor.
In
effect,
our
response
through
mayor
Sutcliffe's
letter
is
just
that,
reflecting
on
the
proportion
of
funding
increase
allocated
to
Toronto
and
then
looking
at
ottawa's
population
in
need
and
applying
the
same
proportion
to
Ottawa
should
see
us
receiving
well
above
20
million
dollars.
AO
Through
you,
Mr
Mayor,
we
have
asked
repeatedly
to
see
the
actual
math,
as
you
say,
the
actual
numbers,
and
they
have
not
provided
it.
We've
asked
to
see
numbers
or
how
they've
applied
the
formula
to,
for
instance,
Toronto's
allocation,
Hamilton's
allocation
appeals
allocation.
All
all
communities
Ontario
are
in
need,
we're
not
suggesting
that
they
should
not
have
allocated
more
equitably,
but
we're
suggesting.
AO
AO
Three
Mr
Mayor
our
plan
and
our
goal
is
to
ensure
that
everyone
has
somewhere
to
sleep
each
night.
We
are
going
to
take
this
all
back
and
look
at
what
we
can
bring
forward
to
committee
and
Council.
That
will
enable
us
to
move
our
budget
around
if
necessary,
but
to
continue
with
the
plan
forward
to
ensure
that
we
can
support
the
Overflow
shelter
needs
in
our
community.
We
can't
be
specific
at
this
moment
because
we
haven't
done
the
full
analysis
of
the
impact
of
this.
AP
Through
you
Mr
Mayor,
yes,
we
are
seeing
an
increase
in
in
a
number
of
people
accessing
shelters
becoming
becoming
homeless,
as
well
as
as
an
increase
again
in
chronic
homelessness
as
we
pivot
to
a
post-pandemic
era.
So
we
are
seeing
the
numbers
climbing
up
to
pre-covet
2019
being
the
highest
numbers
that
we
had
on
record.
So
we
are
heading
in
that
direction.
AP
The
plan
the
transition
plan
that
we
will
bring
to
you
in
May
will
also
have
those
data
analysis
in
there
and
and
our
staff
are
working
on
projections,
not
just
over
the
coming
year,
but
over
over
the
next
few
years.
What
we
can
anticipate
as
the
growth.
As
you
know,
a
city
the
city
of
Ottawa
has
grown,
continues
to
grow,
but
our
shelter
system
has
not.
N
N
Is
it
is
a
frightening
situation?
It's
one
that
I
think
leaves
Ottawa
at
a
real
risk
of
an
increased
number
of
encampments,
an
increased
number
of
people
who
are
living
in
extremely
vulnerable
circumstances.
It
is
incumbent
on
Minister
Clark
to
show
us
the
math,
this
statement
that
he
has
made
to
the
city.
His
response
back
to
the
mayor
does
not
pass
the
BS
detector.
N
We
need
to
see
the
math
and
if
the
math
is
not
fair,
if
the
math
is
not
Equitable,
then
the
minister
needs
to
revisit
this
decision
and
to
ensure
that
he
is
bringing
the
funding
into
Ottawa.
We
need
in
order
to
help
our
most
vulnerable
populations.
This
is
Mr
Mayor.
Thank
you
very
much
for
bringing
this
forward
as
an
item
today.
It
is,
it
is
a
frightening
situation.
That's
that's
all.
Thanks.
H
You
councilor
leaper,
so
you
said
in
your
second
slide
that
emergency
you
use
the
phrase:
emergency,
shelter,
Solutions
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
the
number
one
reason
in
any
City,
not
just
ours,
that
people
say
they
encamp
and
they're
involved
in
encampments
or
they
live
in
campuses
because
they
don't
want
to
go
to
Emergency
Shelters
they're
scared
of
what
happens
there,
there's
something
that
has
happened
to
them
in
the
past.
The
reason
we
have
to
push
for
support
housing
is
because
Emergency
Shelters
are
not
at
all
a
solution.
H
H
Other
municipalities
use
things
like
residences,
empty
schools,
convention,
centers,
hotels,
again,
I,
don't
like
the
idea
of
putting
poor
people
again,
transport
people
I
think
it's
quite
incumbent
upon
us
to
find
other
Solutions
and
I
will
also
ask
I,
guess
my
one
question
here:
does
this
mean
that
will
not
close
in
August
the
news
that
you're
providing
for
us
today?
I
have
another
sorry,
I
have
another
point,
then
you
can
answer.
H
You
also
mentioned
the
higher
Acuity
clients,
but
I.
Just
my
understanding
is
in
speaking
of
shepherds
of
Good
Hope
is
that
they
are
to
take
the
higher
Acuity
clients
and
then
the
the
shelters
that
are
in
recreational
centers
provide
lower
Acuity
clients,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
distinction
that
there
is
an
Ask
of
our
shelter
providers,
our
third
party
providers,
that
they
do
take
the
higher
Acuity
clients,
at
least
that's
what
was
communicated
to
me.
But
if
you
could
also
answer
my
question
about
Donald
I
would
appreciate
it.
AO
The
plan
together
to
committee
at
the
end
of
May,
so
it's
too
early
to
answer
that
first
question
about
Bernard
Graham,
the
a
second
question
about
Acuity,
the
shelter
system,
the
shelter
providers
work
as
a
system
and
across
the
system
the
people
are.
The
shelter
providers
are
telling
us
that
they're
experiencing
people
walking
through
their
doors,
who
have
more
and
more
complex
and
intertwined
needs
and
that's
a
reality
of
Shelter
Systems
across
Ontario.
A
AK
You
know,
I
I
wish
this
could
just
be
chalked
up
to
an
accounting
error
on
the
part
of
the
provincial
government,
but
sadly
this
is
not
the
first
instance
in
which
this
province
has
shortchanged
Ottawa
in
comparison
to
other
municipalities,
you
know
and
and
there's
no
denying,
that
the
ones
that
are
going
to
suffer
from
this,
the
most
are
those
in
our
community
who
need
our
help.
The
most
the
unhoused,
those
who
are
in
our
shelters,
those
who
are
in
dire
need
a
continued
sustainable
support.
AK
This
is
going
to
leave
Ottawa
with
an
operating
Gap
in
the
Millions
just
to
maintain
the
status
quo,
and
we
all
know
that
the
status
quo
hasn't
been
enough
to
date.
We
all
want
to
do
more.
Our
residents
are
asking
us
to
do
more
for
those
in
our
community
who
are
chronically
homeless
and
now
we're
talking
about
cutting
even
those
essential
services
to
them
to
provide
them
with
shelter
access
to
provide
them
with
the
supports
they
need.
AK
The
only
alternative
that
I
can
see
as
a
result
of
this.
If
the
province
doesn't
come
to
the
table
with
just
even
a
fair
amount
to
cover
this
Gap
is
for
us
to
either
turn
to
our
taxpayers
or
to
not
provide
the
services
to
the
people
who
need
it
the
most
or
to
find
some
unique
maneuvering
of
our
funds,
which,
in
the
long
in
the
long
run,
still
means
that
it
comes
out
of
our
tax
dollars.
AK
AK
You
know
and
if
I
was
going
to
play
into
maybe
the
provincial
mindset
and
I'm
just
surmising
here,
maybe
it's
all
about
the
money
right
if
I
was
going
to
play
into
that,
Studies
have
shown
time
and
again
that
the
cost
of
homelessness
has
a
ripple
effect
on
so
many
aspects
of
our
society.
The
financial
toll
on
our
health
health
care
system
is
just
one
example,
so
providing
housing
and
supports
reduces
the
cost
in
the
long
run,
including
costs
to
provincial
services.
AK
X
V
V
What
I'm
most
interested
in
is
that
we
have
to
pursue
a
Relentless
questioning
to
the
province
of
why
Ottawa
is
being
seen
in
a
way
that
is
completely
different
than
the
way
Toronto
is
being
measured,
because
I
do
believe
they
are
analogous.
The
only
two
cities
in
the
province
with
a
million
are
over
that
it
in
and
of
itself,
should
be
a
classification
and
no
matter
how
you
spin
the
math.
This
cannot
be
an
accounting
error
that
led
to
47
million
to
one
and
840
someone
thousand
to
the
other.
V
V
It
would
be
more
like
37
million.
Our
number
of
18
million
would
therefore
also
be
way
too
high.
It
would
be
more
like
13
million,
and
so
if
the
rationale
for
Toronto's
47
million
is
likely
due
to
larger
cities,
have
a
larger
problems
than
I
I.
Don't
think
it
would
be
hard
for
us
to
if
we
had
that
formula
to
make
an
application
for
Iran
for
Ottawa
and
come
at
a
number
fire.
V
So
I
just
hope
that
as
a
council
and
I
know
that
we've
been
playing
gentle
with
the
province
and
we've
had
to
because
of
all
of
our
entreaties
with
them.
But
if
we
don't
pursue
this
question
and
this
demand
relentlessly
people
will,
we
will
have
abandoned
our
greatest
responsibility
to
those
students
that
are
most
vulnerable,
and
this
is
where
we
have
to.
V
This
is
where
we
have
to
hang
our
Shield,
so
I
I
hope
we
can
soon
put
some
Relentless
pressure
on
the
province
to
tell
us
why
we
are
being
seen
so
differently
than
Toronto
and
apply
all
pressure.
We
can
through
dialogue
with
all
of
our
various
npps,
no
matter
their
political
stripe
and
any
other
tactic
we
can
employ.
Thank
you,
sir.
AD
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
you
know,
I
would
say
that
when
you
look
at
the
numbers
and
the
discrepancy
in
funding
it's,
it's
unbelievable
I
think
my
jaw
hit
the
floor
when,
when
those
pie,
graphs
went
up
on
the
screen,
but
unfortunately
I
think
it's
become
unsurprising
from
this
provincial
government
when
it
comes
to
supporting
Ottawa.
Specifically,
you
know,
I
do
want
to
recognize
and
applaud
the
additional
202
million
annual
investment
in
the
homelessness
prevention
program
and
the
indigenous
Supportive
Housing
program.
AD
AD
You
need
to
reach
out
directly
to
the
premier
and
to
our
conservative
mpps.
They
need
to
hear
from
you
that
Ottawa
is
worthy
of
investment,
because
I'm
not
sure
that
anything
we
say
in
this
room
will
change
their
minds
or
any
of
the
letters
that
we
send
from
it.
They
need
to
hear
from
their
supporters
because
it's
it's
funding
for
homelessness.
Today
it
was
the
duress
show
yesterday
it
could
be
infrastructure
projects
or
public
health
tomorrow,
so
the
relationship
needs
to
change.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you,
Marin
and
thank
you
colleagues
for
excellent
comments.
I
do
believe
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
have
an
obligation
if
provincial
money
does
not
come
in
to
ensure
that
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
community
are
provided
for
and
that
this
will
be
reflected
in
future
budgets
and
I.
Highly
suggest
mayor
that
you
go
down
to
Queen's
Park
with
the
interim
city
manager
and
have
a
discussion
behind
closed
doors
with
the
premier
and
or
minister
to
talk
list.
They.
They
loathe
the
public
debate
and
discussion
about
these
matters.
J
But
the
fact
is,
we
have
a
very
strong
case
here.
The
fact
that
we
have
no
one
in
government
who
Champions
the
city
of
Ottawa
provincially
is
a
big
concern
for
me.
There's
no
one
in
cabinet
that
has
the
ear
of
the
minister
or
the
premier
is
also
a
significant
concern
and
I
certainly
appreciate
the
letter
mayor
that
you
sent,
but
really
we
have
to
send
a
delegation
down
to
Queens
Park
to
articulate
this
matter
and
try
and
get
the
matter
resolved
at
the
very
least.
A
J
You
thank
you
for
that.
At
the
very
least,
as
counselor
leaper
indicated,
a
very
clear
explanation
as
to
how
ottawa's
allotment
was
determined,
I
think
is
a
very
basic
and
fair
question
to
be
answered
in
full,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
Ottawa
has
presented
a
very
clear
case
about
what
our
needs
are,
and
someone
keeps
saying
we
deserve
our
fair
share.
That's
the
minimum.
Ask
we
deserve
to
have
our
needs
met.
J
Fair
share
is
one
thing
per
capita
allotment
is
one
thing,
but
we
have
identified
housing
and
homelessness
emergency
in
the
city
and
even
the
province.
Their
term
of
office
they've
certainly
made
it
clear
that
housing
at
least
is
a
priority
for
them,
not
as
passionate
it
seems
about
the
homelessness
side
of
that
equation,
but
thanks
Mr
Mayor
for
your
efforts
and
for
the
dialogue
this
morning.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Brockington,
just
before
we
wrap
up
on
this
I
just
wanted
to
ask
staff
and
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
a
question
for
Community
Services
or
for
finance,
but
several
counselors
have
raised
the
budget
implications
of
this
and
the
the
need
for
us
to
to
supplement
whatever
we're
not
getting
from
the
provincial
government
but
I
I
guess
I
would
just
ask
how
sustainable
is
that
because,
as
you
know,
I
don't
I,
don't
know
that
you
know.
Obviously
we
can.
A
We
can
do
more
and
we
can
put
more
into
this,
but
the
my
understanding
is
the
reality
of
how
our
municipalities
are
structured
in
Ontario
is
that
we
cannot
fund
these
programs
without
provincial
support.
These
these
kinds
of
programs
require
appropriate
provincial
investment
to
be
sustainable
in
the
long
run.
Is
that
fair
to
say,
Mr.
AH
Meredith
is
correct:
that's
fully
accurate.
What
you
just
stated:
I
can
elaborate,
if
you
like,
please
yeah
yeah
so
I
mean.
Obviously
this
is
a
significant
Gap
right.
We
don't
have
the
Reserves
or
we
don't
have
the
stable
funding
in
our
base
to
kind
of
fill
this
Gap.
So
it
is
definitely
not
sustainable.
AH
Going
forward
I'm
working
closely
with
Claire
and
her
team
and
my
team
trying
to
devise
that
you
know
what
is
the
bridge
gap
for
this
year
right
and
then
what
does
that
revised
plan
look
like
and
then
agree
like
when
I
saw
this
number
in
this
allocation?
There's
no
math
equation
in
my
will
set
or
my
toolkit
that
I
can
kind
of
equate
to
that.
AH
A
And
I
guess
just
to
further
that
point,
you
know
I
think
we
were
already
dealing
with
and
and
I
think
the
city
of
Toronto
has
articulated
this
as
well.
We
were
already
dealing
with
a
shortfall
in
funding
from
other
levels
of
government
to
support
the
work
that
we
do
in
a
number
of
different
areas,
including
social
services
and
Transit
and
in
other
areas.
I
Thanks
mayor,
just
very
briefly,
if
I
could
just
suggest
a
strategy
for
counselors
around
the
table,
that
might
feel
be
feeling
like
we,
we
don't
have
a
lot
to
do
here.
I
think
I
think
the
biggest
thing
is:
let's
contact
our
mpps,
whoever
they
are
in
your
ward
and
let's
ask
them
to
put
some
questions
on
the
order
table
in
question
period
and
for
them
to
reiterate
the
concern
to
both
bureaucrats
in
Toronto,
as
well
as
our
political
counterparts
at
the
provincial
level.
I
So
I
think
I've
done
that
just
sitting
around
this
table,
I've
sent
a
message
to
my
team
to
say:
let's
make
sure
our
MPP
is
aware
of
this,
and
that
they're
asking
questions.
I
think
all
if
all
of
us
can
do
that
here
today,
that's
something
we
can.
We
can
do
to
push
and
help
so
I
think
be
a
good
strategy
for
us.
A
Thank
you,
councilman,
art
and
I
would
just
add.
Just
on
the
you
know
the
point
that
I
was
Raising
with
with
the
finance
department
that
you
know,
I
I
certainly
don't
want
the
message
out
of
all
of
this
to
the
provincial
government
to
be
that
whenever
they
do
not
adequately
fund
the
city
of
Ottawa,
we're
going
to
make
up
the
difference
through
property
taxes,
because
that
will
lead
us
down
a
continuous
Road
of
the
province,
not
contributing
its
fair
share
to
Ottawa
and
us
having
to
make
up
the
difference
in
property
taxes.
A
So
I
don't
think
that
when
there
are
shortfalls
like
this,
we
should
let
them
off
the
hook
and
bail
them
out
with
tax
dollars
with
our
local
property
tax
dollars
for
things
that
ought
to
be
funded
by
the
province
of
Ontario.
So,
let's
continue
to
put
the
pressure
on
the
province
to
deliver
its
full
fair
share
of
the
funding
for
the
areas
where
it
has
the
responsibility.
A
Okay,
again,
I
want
to
thank
our
staff
for
putting
together
this
presentation
on
short
notice
and
I.
I
also
want
to
express
my
gratitude
and,
frankly,
my
sympathy
for
the
team
who
are
working
hard
every
day.
I
know
I,
can't
imagine
what
it
must
feel
like
to
be
responding
to
the
increasing
need
in
our
community
and
and
always
feeling
you
know
like
it's
one
step
forward,
two
steps
back
and
that
and
that
the
challenge
is
increasing
at
the
same
time
as
resources
are
increasingly
Under.
A
Pressure
and
I
would
extend
the
same
message
to
the
amazing
people
who
are
working
in
the
social
services
sector
throughout
our
community
who
are
experiencing
the
same
Dynamics.
So
so
thank
you
to
to
all
the
people
who
work
hard
every
day
at
City,
Hall
and
throughout
the
community
to
serve
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
city
and
who
face
ongoing
pressures,
and
this
this
is
only
adding
to
that.
A
All
right,
so
is,
is
that
report
from
from
our
team
received
today.
Okay,
thank
you,
everyone
and
thank
you
again
to
the
team
for
presentation.
Let's
move
to
item
20
I
believe
there
are
no
in-camera
items
item
21
is
Council
receiving
the
list
of
items
approved
by
its
committees
under
delegated
authority.
Is
that
received
item
22
is
a
motion
to
adopt
reports.
Councilor
derus,
please.
A
Is
that
carriage?
Thank
you
all
right.
We
have
a
motion
requiring
suspension
of
the
rules
of
procedure
which
is
related
to
counselor
Tierney's
election
of
the
board
of
directors
of
the
Federation
of
Canadian
municipalities
on
suspension
of
the
rules
is
that
carried
okay,
councilor
troster
you're
moving
the
motion.
AB
Whereas
Ottawa
city
council
supports
councilor
Tim
Tierney
on
his
bid
to
run
for
third.
Vice
president
table
officers
position
on
the
fcm
board,
be
it
resolve
that
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Ottawa
endorses
counselor
Tim
Tierney
to
stand
for
election
on
fcm's
board
of
directors
for
the
period
starting
in
May
2023
and
ending
in
June
2024,
and
be
it
further
resolved
that
Council
assumes
all
costs
associated
with
counselor
Tim
Tierney
attending
fcm's
board
of
directors
meetings.
A
Q
That's
a
part
of
its
promotion
of
their
shuttle
bus
for
participants
to
easily
obtain
race
kits
and
visit
Lansdowne
Park,
whereas
implementing
the
free
evening
and
weekend
parking
at
City
Hall
during
the
auto
race
weekend
would
result
in
an
estimated
three
thousand
dollars
of
foregone
parking
revenue
and
thus
reduced.
Contributions
to
the
parking
Reserve
fund
therefore
be
resolved
that
the
city
council
approved
the
free
parking
at
City.
Hall
Parking
Garage
is
located
at
110
Lori
Avenue
and
we'll
probably
provided

programs
on
Petri
Island
beach
at

Tweddle

named
after
the
illustrious

and
whereas
on
April

2022
Council
declared
280
square
meters
of
Petrie
Island
beach
as
a
surplus
to
the

In

through
funding
received
from
the
Federal
grant
known
as
the
Canada

Y
The
PICC
has
refined
its
lease
area
to
include
an
increase
of
280
square
meters
of
petrall

Beach
to
accommodate

staff
support
the
proposed
increase
of

by
280
square
meters.
For
the
total
lease
area
of
560
square
meters
of
the
Marine
storage
facility,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
Council
declared
the

The
city's

further
resolved.

Thanks
mayor
River,
Awards
rat
population,
particularly
on
the
west
side
of
the
Rito
river,
is
significant.
Approximately
six
years
ago,
water
main
renewal
and
road
work,
redesign
work
on
dines
and
Prince
of
Wales
coincided
with
a
never
seen
before
rat
infestation
at
the
nearby
Carlton
Square
condos
near
Meadowlands
and
Fisher.
They
have
spent
58
thousand
dollars
since
the
infrastructure
renewal
on
private
contractor
assistance,
the
Central
Park
Community
saw
an
infestation
in
2022
that
overwhelmed
many
residents
and
in
carlington
residents
are
reporting.
J
Large
volumes
of
rats
in
the
neighborhood
residents
are
requesting
that
the
city
assume
a
greater
role
in
preventing
Rats
from
multiplying
mitigate
their
ability
to
travel
from
one
neighbor
to
it
to
another
augment
public,
Outreach
and
Communications
on
ways.
The
public
can
assist
in
combating
the
problem
and
proactively
addressing
property
standard
issues
in
neighborhoods,
with
higher
than
average
public
complaints
of
rat
settings.
J
There
are
two
questions:
would
staff
identify
what
best
practices
exist
in
any
Canadian
or
American
city,
where
the
municipal
government
has
taken
on
a
much
more
Hands-On
approach
to
rat
mitigation
and
to
Common
on
ways
the
city
of
Ottawa
could
possibly
increase
its
efforts
in
this
regard,
and
second
with
staff.
Also,
please
comment:
if
a
budding
experimental
firm
in
any
way
would
increase
a
neighborhood's
rat
population?
Would
staff
inquire,
evang
culture
Canada
is
engaged
in
any
Rat
mitigation
measures
on
the
periphery
of
its
property
near
residential
neighborhoods?
Thank
you.

Hi
first
question
is
for
the
the
team
from
housing
you're
speaking
about
a
17
million
dollar
operating
funding
Gap
to
maintain
current
service
levels.
I
am
not
understanding
how,
like
such
a
gap,
would
open
up
between
this
year
and
next,
if
we're
talking
about
you
know
like
a
total
spend
of
47
million
dollars
and
just
to
maintain
existing
services.
That
seems
like
a
a
huge
jump
year
over
year.
Can
you
just
help
me
understand
what
that
Gap
is.
AO
Yes,
thanks
for
the
question,
one
of
the
biggest
factors
is
the
end
of
covid
funding,
so
Social
Services
relief
funding
on
the
part
of
the
province
and
covid
related
funding
on
the
part
of
the
federal
government.
That's
really
what
has
impacted
us
the
most
in
terms
of
the
ability
to
provide
the
level
of
support
services
that
we
do
right
now
in
2023.
AQ
AO
AQ
AO
Thank
you
so,
across
the
province,
we
are
not
suggesting
that
other
municipalities
across
the
province
did
not
receive
their
their
fair
share
of
funding.
When
we
then
look
at
the
share
of
the
Toronto
received,
it
is
so
much
larger
than
what
we
received.
So
we
believe
that
we
would
like
to
see
the
formula
that
was
applied
to
Toronto
so
that
we
can
understand
and
also
see
the
formula
that
was
applied
to
Ottawa.
AO
If
one
were
to
look
just
based
on
numbers,
then
we
have
to
apply
a
population
lens
to
it,
because
there's
not
nothing
else.
That
would
actually
clarify
for
us
why
Toronto
received
as
much
funding
as
they
did
compared
to
us,
and
even
then
we
need
more
information,
because
really
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
us.
A
Thank
you
Hannah.
If
I
could
add
to
that
Taylor,
you
know
I
think
please
we're
not
suggesting
that
that
the
funds
be
allocated
on
our
per
capita
basis
and
not
based
on
need,
and
but
if
there
were,
you
know
if
this
were
a
file
where
there
were
compelling
evidence
that
Toronto
had
a
disproportionate
issue
and
a
disproportionate
requirement
compared
to
Ottawa.
A
Then
then
we'd
be
open
to
seeing
the
rationale
for
that,
and
we
would
accept
an
argument
that
well
there's
so
much
more
of
this
issue
in
Toronto
than
there
is
in
Ottawa,
even
per
capita.
They
deserve
more
funding,
but
that's
not
under
our
understanding
of
the
situation
right,
so
that
our
understanding
of
the
situation
is
that
Toronto's,
the
magnitude
of
Toronto's
problem
and
the
magnitude
of
ottawa's
problem
are,
roughly
speaking,
proportionate
to
the
population
of
the
two
cities.
AR
Thank
you
and
the
question
is
for
the
mayor
a
little
bit
of
a
pivot.
The
city
is
examining
ways
they
can
reduce
waste
that
goes
into
our
Trailhead
to
the
Trail
Road
waste.
Would
you
support
limiting
the
amount
of
garbage
bags
that
citizens
can
put
on
the
road?
Would
you
support
charging
for
tags
for
extra?
Where
would
you
where
do
you
stand.
A
We're
just
beginning
this
conversation,
it's
a
really
important
conversation
for
us
to
have
as
a
as
a
community,
and
it's
going
to
start
with
the
environment
committee
next
week
and
and
and
we're
looking
forward
to
hearing
what
the
public
has
to
say
about
this.
It
garbage
is
always
a
very
sensitive
topic
and,
and
there
are
clearly
different
needs
throughout
the
community.
We
have
to
keep
in
mind
the
needs
of
urban
residents,
Suburban
residents
and
Rural
residents
during
this
process.
AR
A
AR
A
I
would
call
I
think
what
are
we
calling
it?
The
commissioner
of
nightlife
yeah
life,
commissioner,
which
is
I,
think
a
more
appropriate
title.
I
know,
there's
a
sort
of
stuff
yeah,
there's
there's
only
one
mayor,
there's
no
weekend
mayor
or
you
know
lunchtime,
mayor
or
anything
like
that.
So
you
know
I
I'm
really
excited
about
this
opportunity.
AS
AS
AT
Yeah,
thank
you
for
the
question.
I
can't
speak
to
the
specific
circumstances
that
led
to
the
putting
down
the
bear.
That's
Ottawa
Police
made
that
decision
and
they
would
need
to
speak
to
that.
What
I
can
tell
you
is
that
bylon
regulatory
Services
role
when
we
receive
these
calls
through
3-1-1,
is
to
assess
the
situation.
So
we
were
monitoring
the
bearish
behavior.
We
were
monitoring
the
Bears
Movement.
We
were
working
with
our
partners
with
NCC
and
m
r.
AT
AS
A
I
was
in
Toronto
for
a
meeting
with
Premier,
Ford
and
members
of
his
cabinet.
We
talked
about
a
number
of
different
issues,
but
this
one
was
at
the
top
of
our
list,
and
so
we
raised
it
with
the
premier
directly
and
the
minister
of
Municipal
Affairs
and
Housing.
Was
there
as
well
and-
and
you
know,
we
heard
the
explanation
that
that
has
been
publicized.
A
That
came
from
the
ministry
in
more
recent
days,
but
you
know
we
continued
to
appeal
to
their
sense
of
fairness
and
ask
them
for
more
information
to
help
us
understand
why
Ottawa
got
such
a
small
allocation
compared
to
other
municipalities,
including
Toronto.
So
we
encourage
them
to
keep
looking
at
it
and
to
to
do
more
to
help
the
city
of
Ottawa
address
homelessness.
So
we
we
made
our
appeal.
