Before
actually
one
thing
I
should
have
done
before
I
go
through
the
rest
of
the
agenda.
As
this
is
a
budget
meeting.
There's
a
statement
I'm
going
to
read
beforehand
about
having
to
deal
with
simultaneous
interpretation,
so
simultaneous
interpretation
will
prove
lighter
for
item
two
on
today's
agenda
committee.
Members
are
reminded
to
use
their
phones
as
necessary.
Members
of
the
public
are
invited
to
use
the
translation
devices
and
influence
located
in
the
box
on
the
front
table
just
inside
the
door
and
serviced
attend.
C
Telepathy

mention
a

or
Philip

Raja,
Chaudhary,
hello,
Omar
brother
committed
the
pettalia,
okay,

when
trans
equally
normal
to
public
so
limited
in
detail.
Utilize
ADA

a

traducción
and
it's
equitation,
even
Donna
Watts
Allah
tab,
situate
way,
teleport
so
back
to
the
agenda.
First,
is
the
winter
operations
update
and
there's
no
staff
presentation
on
there?
It's
just
for
us
to
receive
the
report.
Can
you
receive
the
report?
Oh
sorry,
we
have
a
delegation,
so
we
will
hold
it
I
apologize
for
that
and.
C
Number
two
is
the
draft
operating
capital
budget
transportation
committee.
We
both
have
a
presentation
as
well
as
a
number
of
delegations
following
which
we
will
go
to
the
road
map
motion
to
be
moved
by
Councillor,
Chernenko
and
so
we'll
go
back
to
item
number
one.
Then,
as
I
say,
there
is
no
presentation,
but
we
do
have
a
delegation
is
mr.
Thomas
in
the
room.
Would
you
like
to
come
up,
sir?.
D
Well,
thanks
again
mr.
chair
and
forgive
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
and
I
have
some
questions
to
start
with,
for
you
to
think
about,
while
I
go
through.
My
few
slides
does
vision
zero
apply
to
school
kids.
Do
you
think
the
walking
bus
bus
idea
works
on
winter
conditions
with
streets
that
have
no
sidewalks?
D
Do
you
think
we
should
provide
snow
removal
to
create
space
for
parked
cars,
but
we
don't
provide
snow
removal
to
provide
space
on
streets
that
have
no
sidewalks
for
kids
to
walk
to
school,
I'd
like
to
thank
Rosemary
Kevin
Luke,
and
that
for
their
help,
I
don't
speak
for
any
Association.
There
are
two
involved:
Valley
Stream
and
the
Leslie
Park
I'm
speaking
as
a
grandfather
I'm
going
to
be
referring
to
pages,
4
and
5
of
the
report,
and
it
deals
with
maintenance,
quality
standards
for
snow
removal
which
have
been
approved
apparently
by
Council.
D
Now
Matt
can
I
get
the
lights
dim,
so
people
can
see
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
st.
John,
the
Apostle
school,
which
you
can
see
where
the
green
points
to
and
the
streets
that
walkers
have
to
take
all
students
that
live
closer
than
1.6
kilometers
have
to
walk
to
school.
The
only
exception
is
the
point:
eight
kilometers
for
kindergarten
students.
D
When
you
look
and
there's
five
routes
that
you
can
get
to
Saint
John,
the
Apostle
School,
the
first
grade
I'll
discussed
rue
des
is
Abington
and
if
you
look
at
the
map-
and
you
can
pick
it
out-
it
just
starts
at
Monterey
and
it
comes
all
the
way
around
and
ends
at
Costello
right,
opposite
Saint
John,
the
Apostle
school.
It
is
a
class
for
Road.
In
other
words,
it
can
get
four
to
six
meters,
but
it
has
no
sidewalks,
no
sidewalks
the
figure
years
for
calculating
clearances.
D
Cars
are
two
meters
wide,
but
no
mention
is
made
of
school
buses,
which
are
2.4
meters
wide.
The
city
sidewalks
just
for
comparison,
clear
to
a
minimum
of
1.5
meters,
1.5
meters.
There
is,
if
you
look
at
this
on
street,
with
high
parking
permits.
There
widen
the
road
to
eight
point:
two
meters
for
cars
that
are
being
part,
inanimate
objects.
Now
we
look
at
if
you're
walking,
grandkids,
which
I
walk
my
grandkids
up
Abington
and
then
along
Costello,
the
stretch
of
Costello
from
Abington,
where
that
Big
Bend
is
all
the
way
to
sink
John.
D
The
Apostle
school
also
has
no
sidewalk
no
sidewalk
and
the
third
route,
which,
fortunately,
for
the
people
that
access
the
school
from
that
route,
it's
Costello
from
Monterrey
and
you
can
see
the
heavy
line.
If
you
follow
up
Monterey
and
then
come
up
Costello
to
the
school
from
that
direction,
you
have
a
sidewalk.
A
sidewalk
is
supposedly
cleared
to
at
least
1.5
meters.
What,
then,
those
students
that
live
where
I
live
in
grade
crest,
the
top
the
South
half
of
Glade
Crest,
is
connected
to
a
sidewalk
that
runs
along
Valley
Stream.
D
But
this
people
on
the
north
side
of
grade
crest
live
on
a
class
5
Street.
It's
only
cleared
to
five
meters.
Only
one
lane
is
intended
to
be
open
and
the
other
Lane
is
2.2
meters.
For
parking,
parking
and
I
agree,
there's
only
a
certain
time
of
the
day
that
these
people
are
going
to
be
little.
People
are
going
to
be
walking
on
these
streets,
but
there's
only
a
certain
time
in
the
day
that
car's
a
park
down
the
street,
so
I'm
making
eye
and
I'll
just
review
this
with
this.
D
C
D
Conclusion
I
would
like
to
say
that
the
road
maintenance
performer
should
be
amended
to
require
turns
of
sidewalk
wide
encroachments
on
the
side
of
the
road
or
remove
snow
removed
to
permit
students
to
walk
to
school
within
1.6
kilometers
of
a
school,
in
other
words,
those
areas
that
are
1.6
kilometers
from
Saint
John,
the
Apostle.
If
they
have
no
sidewalk,
the
road
will
be
cleared
to
at
least
seven
seven
or
eight.
C
Meters,
okay,
I'm
again
I.
Thank
you
for
that
I'm.
Going
to
before
these
questions
for
delegation,
then
ask
Kevin.
Why
would
a
comment
on
this
because
there's
there's
an
interaction
with
the
school
boards
on
this
organization
called
basta,
which
you
may
not
Kevin,
can
speak
to
sort
of?
What's
happened
in
this
particular
circumstance
that
chair.
E
E
Saw
damage
etc
with
respect
to
the
walking
routes.
That
was
all
done,
as
you
had
alluded
to,
the
roster.
The
walking
routes
were
by
austa.
We
are
working
with
us
on
certain
locations,
but
we
haven't
been
involved
fully
in
the
process
that
they
went
through.
So
I
would
suspect
that
this
would
be
better
addressed
through
Austin
school
board.
E
F
And
thank
you.
It
seems
like
you
brought
to
our
attention
a
very
specific
one.
I
imagine
don't
know
if
it
to
your
knowledge
whether
you
interact
with
others.
This
is
something
that
would
occur
in
many
other
parts
of
the
city
with
similar
walking
distances
and
roads
of
this
type,
where
the
challenge
is
that
all
staff
for
very
good
public
policy
and
health
reasons
is
encouraging
walking,
rather
than
bussing
over
a
short
distance.
But
during
that
period
of
the
year,
where
there's
snow
accumulation,
we
have
a
challenge
of
conflict.
F
D
Sure
it's
quite
common
posture
only
has
walking
bus
routes
for
eight
schools.
There
is
no
school
in
the
area.
My
map,
that
has
anything
given
any
consideration
for
a
walking
bus
route.
That
I
know
personally
that
people
going
to
Leslie
parks
who
encounter
the
same
difficulty
walking
along
Costello
and
Abington,
and
it's
isolated
people
in
groups,
small
groups,
some
of
them
are
handicapped.
I
know
there
is
one
lady
that
I
often
see
walking
my
grandson,
who
has
a
disadvantaged
person
that
they're
helping
get
to
school.
D
So
there
is
a
range
that
they're
not
all
going
for
the
same
time,
kindergarten
students
start
at
different
times
than
the
rest
of
the
school,
and
it's
at
the
group
that
I
admit
the
number
is
small,
probably
not
large
enough
for
two
interest
Oster
in
an
organized
bus
and
walking
bus.
There
was
only
eight
schools.
I
might
remind
you
is
that
our
Austin
organized
walking
buses
right
now,
mm-hmm.
F
So
it
sounds
to
me
like
it's
an
issue
that
we,
as
the
council
with
and
our
staff
need
to
grapple
with
is
those
areas
where
we
have
significant
walking
populations
in
a
walking
school
bus
to
ensure
that
the
safe
on
road,
where
there
isn't
a
sidewalk
on
or
walking
conditions,
are
there
not
sure
it's
something
we
can
resolve
right
here
right
now,
but
other
than
to
thank
you
for
bringing
it
to
our
attention
to
it.
To
my
attention.
F
C
I
will
mention
that
both
myself
and
the
mayor,
we
have
met
with
senior
school
board
officials.
With
regard
to
these
to
these
changes
there
has
been
some
communication
back
and
forth
between
our
staff
and
the
school
board
staff.
One
of
the
pieces
is
that
through
this
process,
the
school
boards
are
achieving
significant
savings
on
the
utilization
of
actual
school
buses.
C
We
have
raised
this
concern
with
Austin
and
indicate
it
that
if
it's
going
to
create
additional
pressures
on
the
city
budget,
then
the
school
board's
the
school
gates,
if
they're
prepared
to
assist
us
financially
to
fill
in
those
to
fill
in
those
gaps.
As
of
yet
they
have
not
agreed
to
be
that
that
those
discussions
have
taken
place
and
no
Kevin
and
his
team
continues
to
work
with
on
these
various
locations
and
will
continue
to
do
so.
Councillor
Dean's.
G
Mr.
Tomasson
I
just
want
to
salute
you
for
being
a
great
grandfather
and
to
you,
mr.
chair,
and
to
mr.
Wylie
I,
think
we
need
to
get
on
with
this,
because
we
know
the
snow
is
coming
shortly
and
there
a
number
of
areas
throughout
the
city
that
will
be
affected.
I
can
think
of
one
of
my
own
board,
where
three
schools
converged
together
and
there's
a
huge
walking
population
and
I.
C
C
G
B
Thank
You
mr.
chair
Thank
You
mr.
Thomson,
is
that
correct,
Thomas
Thomas,
sorry
you're
raising
an
issue
that
we've
had
for
years
at
this
committee.
It's
the
discussion
of
schools
that
are
on
Main
streets.
We
struggle
with
speeds
on
Main
streets
and
then
school
and
residential
zones.
We
struggle
to
access
the.
So
it's
something
that
we're
on
community
members
would
recall
that
at
the
last
meeting,
I
submit
an
inquiry
specifically
to
that.
B
In
my
mind,
we
need
to
separate
in
the
allocation
in
the
revision
of
classification,
the
sidewalks
versus
the
roads,
because
if
we
do
it
just
as
one
standards,
we
we
hit
issues
like
this
in
terms
of
network
connectivity,
so
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
It's
more
mainly
to
just
support
that
we
do
have
challenges
in
the
current
classification
council.
A
You
mr.
chair
to
you
I,
just
wanna,
thank
you
very
much
for
raising
this
issue
this
morning.
I
assure
you
it's
not
only
the
area
that
you
are
as
a
council,
we
receive
constant
emails
and
we're
working
very
hard
with
resident
and
hasta
to
making
sure
we
have
safe,
walking
to
our
kids
to
school
and
I.
A
Roads
are
built
for
buggies,
and
now
we
can
keep
kids
yeah
I
mean.
If
you
look
at
Matt.
Guf
is
fair
enough.
You
can
plow
it
and
one
cow
and
you
can't
walk
the
kids
to
school
and
now
also
once
the
parents
to
walk
their
kids
through
these
road
and
it's
going
to
give
hard
time
to
the
city
public
roads
in
be
dealing
with
this
issue
all
year
round
about
cleaning
the
snow
and
we
don't
have
enough
space,
a
storage
on
the
side
of
the
roads
to
store
those
snow.
A
C
And
I
think
the
direction
covers
that
the
letter
will
speak
to
the
situation
throughout
the
city.
The
other
thing
that
could
suggest
mr.
Thomas's
I
believe
that
schools
and
counselors
Schuette
she
rallies
word
yes
and
you
may
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
or
not,
but
you
may
want
to
reach
out
to
him.
Counselors
tend
to
have
a
pretty
good
relationship
with
the
school
board
trustees
in
their
particular
area,
and
he
may
be
able
to
assist
with
this
as
well
in
a
more
direct
fashion.
C
B
Thanks
for
the
report,
Kevin
and
I
know
that
you,
after
you
talk
about
some
of
those
pressures
during
the
winter
maintenance
and
I,
can
appreciate
the
need
for
us
to
to
be
out
there
to
do
the
work
for
Mia
I'm
curious
on
the
financial
side.
I
I
I
know
that
you
through
this
briefing,
you
provide
a
fulsome
response
regarding
the
weekly
kind
of
dashboard
of
numbers
that
can
come
in,
so
you
can
track
accordingly.
E
Some
aspects
of
a
response,
so,
for
instance,
last
night
we
all
know
we
had
some
freezing
rain.
There
was
some
Salters
out
there,
those
types
of
things
we
can
get
in
real-time
GPS
off
the
truck
where
they
responded.
What
the
response
was,
and
that
is
then-
and
this
is
new
this
year,
this
is
going
to
be
packaged
up
into
a
little
debrief
that
will
go
out
to
all
the
zone,
supervisors
and
managers
just
to
let
them
know
that
potentially
there
could've
been
some
adjustments.
E
B
E
The
council
is
right,
however,
automated
time
entry
is
a
pretty
expensive
proposition,
we've
done
it
in
our
traffic
division
or
we've
done
it
in
a
forestry
division
to
do
it
in
the
roads,
division,
actually
parks
and
buildings
and
grounds
is
probably
the
next
place
we'll
be
implementing
the
project.
We
may
get
there
eventually
roads,
but
it
is
a
fairly
expensive
proposition.
G
E
G
I
just
want
to
understand
how
that's
going
to
happen.
It
says
the
program
will
be
expanded
for
the
2015-16
season
to
ensure
there's
a
consistent
tracking
of
our
snow
removal
citywide
to
ensure
adherence
to
the
snow
removal
standards
outlined
in
the
maintenance
quality
standards
for
other
use
of
the
snow
removal
scheduling
program
will
also
result
in
better
tracking
and
a
harmonization
of
service
levels
for
snow
banks.
I
just
want
to
understand
which
communities
have
a
higher
level
now
so
we'll
see
a
reduction.
E
This
isn't
necessarily
about
a
higher
level.
This
is
about
consistent
reporting
and
consistent
application
across
the
city.
So,
for
instance,
as
it
says
in
the
report,
not
all
renewables
were
being
tracked
in
the
program
once
we
get
everything
in
the
program
it'll
happen
prior
to
the
removal
will
be
able
to
make
sound
management
decisions
on
timing
and
response.
One
good
example
would
be
in
past
years
once
we
start
a
big
removal.
We
may
write
through
the
weekend.
E
G
Well,
I
certainly
agree
with
that,
but
I'm
just
concerned
if
harmonization
is
a
euphemism
for
reduction
in
some
service
and
if
it
was
going
to
be
a
Mary
I
just
like
to
know
about
that
before
I
voted
on
it.
So
could
you
provide
us
more
detail
on
where
you
think
well,
maybe
in
the
city
that
they
haven't
been
entering
the
data
and
where
there
may
be
a
reduction
in
snow
removal
as
a
result,
not.
E
G
It
comes
with
a
price
tag
of
a
reduction
of
1.2
million
dollars,
so
it
does
sound
like
there's
going
to
be
a
reduction
in
snow
removal
service
in
some
locations
and
I
agree
with
you,
some
areas
that
might
be
just
not
having
over
time
and
that
might
account
for
some
of
the
1.2,
probably
not
all
of
it.
So
I
just
like
to
have
a
better
sense
of
what
I'm
voting
for
sure.
E
G
C
Think
you
I
think
for
that
and
I
just
comment.
The
intent
is
to
create
a
uniform
approach
across
the
city
so
that
everybody
is
receiving
the
same
service
in
in
accordance
with
that.
We've
already
voted
on
and
said
should
be
the
city
standard.
So
just
that
for
clarification.
Council
Minette
to
you,
mr.
A
E
Again,
showing
this
winter
is
changing
the
level
of
service
that
council
approved
so
we're
hearing
to
all
the
all.
The
standards
that
are
quality
standards
specific
to
residential
streets
will
be
measuring
according
to
the
standard.
But,
of
course,
whenever
there's
sight
line
issues
sometimes
there
are
Charles
will
be
taking
care
of
those
on
an
as-needed
basis,
so
based
on
the
apartment,
it
will.
E
A
J
Thank
You,
chair
I
just
have
a
question
about
the
the
quality
standards
and
maintaining
them
for
this
year
and
understanding
that
we're
looking
at
harmonizing
them
across
the
city,
but
what
that
impact
will
be
on
pedestrians
and
cyclists?
What
we
do
right
now
in
terms
of
removal
on
our
sidewalks
well
any
of
that
change,
I'm,
not
asking
if
heels
just
stick
to
the
standard
about
where
we
see
more
clearing
on
the
sidewalks.
Perhaps.
E
Budget
for
the
sidewalks
will
be
sticking
to
the
standard.
No,
so
I
don't
anticipate
any
change
on
the
sidewalks.
The
winter
cycling
Network,
as
you
all
aware,
will
be
receiving
an
enhanced
level
of
service
in
some
areas
that
will
be
casting
snow
back
in
some
areas.
That
will
be
additional
removals.
J
Okay,
so
I
appreciate
that
on
the
winter
cycling,
networking
and
understand
that,
but
just
just
so
I
have
clarification.
Just
so
I'm
clear
on
the
sidewalks
then
is
there
have
we
been
using
different
standards
across
the
city
and
will
they
be
harmonized
or
will
we
just
be
moving
forward
with
the
same
service
that
we've
always
had
on
the
sidewalks
I.
J
A
Counselor
Drew's
place
Thank
You
mr.
chair.
It's
immensely
a
comment
and
I
want
to
add
also
to
consider
minetti's
a
concern
about
the
quality
standard.
I
do
sit
in
the
audit
committee
and
then
we
do
have
a
report
in
front
of
us
and
I
know
that
I
was
so
happy
to
see
that
so
many
issues
were
addressed
and
some
issues
were
looking
at
and
I
really
I'm.
A
C
C
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
So
we'll
move
to
the
else
right
receive.
The
report
will
move
to
the
to
the
next
piece,
which
is
the
budget.
So
just
a
couple
of
things
I'd
like
to
say
in
general,
on
the
budget
today
before
we
get
to
delegations-
and
we
do
have
a
number
and
I
appreciate
the
people
that
come
down
and
want
to
share
their
ideas
in
there
and
the
questions
with
us
and
I
believe.
At
this
point
we
have
seven
delegations
that
are
registered
to
speak.
C
The
this
draft
budget
on
transportation
provides
I,
believe
a
practical
and
a
predictable
foundation
from
which
the
City
Council
can
continue
to
invest
and
build
our
city
that
is
affordable,
caring,
sustainable
and
prosperous
for
all
residents.
Through
this
budget,
the
city
is
living
within
our
means,
while
protecting
the
frontline
services,
which
Kevin
just
just
spoke
to
and
in
answer
to
several
questions
upon
which
our
residents
depend.
C
Today,
we'll
review
the
operating
capital
draft
budget
for
the
services
and
programs
that
fall
within
the
transportation
community's
mandate
and
we'll
hear
from
members
of
council
staff
and
from
our
residence
I
think
there
are
many
elements
in
the
2016
draft
budget.
That
arrested
we'll
be
pleased
to
see
among
the
highlights
of
the
budget
that
are
particularly
relevant
to
the
Transportation.
C
Committee
are
a
net
increase
of
two
million
winter,
the
winter
operations
based
budget
provision
for
a
ten
additional
school
crossing
guards;
savings
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
2016
as
a
result
of
converting
the
city's
streetlights
to
LED
technology,
continued
investment
in
2016
of
2.9
million
dollars
through
the
strategic
initiative
program
for
traffic,
pedestrian
and
road
safety
enhancements
such
as
Ward's
specific
traffic,
calming
measures
increasing
the
number
of
accessible
pedestrian
signals.
In
addition
to
the
installation
of
five
additional
red-light
cameras
citywide,
we
all
heard
loud
and
clear
public
budget
consultations
across
the
city.
C
Complaints
about
speeding
residential
areas,
this
draft
budget
takes
step
in
addressing
this
problem
with
each
Ward
against
waited
to
receive
$40,000,
a
total
of
nine
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
across
the
city
to
institute
traffic
calming
measures
specific
to
each
Ward.
In
addition,
I've
been
working
with
mr.
Wylie
and
mr.
C
Landry,
along
with
Deputy
Chief
Keely,
to
work
with
o-p-s
to
find
a
more
efficient
way
to
enforce,
through
a
better
sharing
of
traffic
data
that
we
have
across
the
city,
and
so
the
police
will
have
the
tools
necessary
to
have
a
more
targeted
approach
to
enforcement.
So
discussions
are
ongoing
to
create
a
way
in
which
the
police
will
be
at
the
right
place
at
the
right
time.
We've
all
had
circumstances
where
we
get
complaints
about
speeding.
C
We
tell
the
police
they
go
out
there
and
when
they
say
well,
we
were
there
for
two
hours,
we
didn't
hand
out
any
tickets
and
then
the
resident
comes
back
and
says,
but
it's
Wednesday
from
4:00
to
5:30
that
they
have
to
be
there.
So
the
goal
of
this
of
these
discussions
is
to
come
up
with
a
format
and
a
process
where
there's
better
cooperations
between
the
two
sides
and
bringing
together
more
of
that
data
and
information,
so
that
we
can,
we
can
enforce
in
a
more
sustainable
way
and
all
within
existing
departmental
budgets.
C
Moving
on
will
you
invest
a
total
of
326
million
dollars
to
improve
existing
the
new
infrastructure?
Citywide
in
2016
will
invest
33
million
dollars
in
road
resurfacing,
including
a
significant
investment
in
the
resurfacing
and
reconstruction
of
our
railroads.
Beyond
this,
we'll
have
sixty
five
million
dollars
and
integrated
roadwork
projects
which,
tied
together
a
road
sewer
and
water
mainland.
All
works
I'm
very
proud
to
say
that
our
total
annual
overall
investment
is
increasing
year
over
year,
in
line
with
the
council's
comprehensive
asset
management
strategy
on
the
growth
front
is
important
to
note.
C
The
construction
continues
on
major
road
infrastructure
projects,
including
portions
of
Green,
Bank,
Road
trim
mode
and
the
Alta
Vista
transportation
corridor.
On
the
cycling
front,
we
will
be
investing
approximately
7.2
million
dollars
in
cycling
facilities
in
2016,
including
new
pathways,
and
pave
road
shoulders
in
the
urban,
suburban
and
rural
areas.
This
provides
all
the
funding
required
to
implement
the
auto
recycling
plan
project
for
the
year,
as
well
as
the
funding
required
for
the
community
connections
strategic
initiative.
C
On
the
operations
side,
we
invest
$200,000
to
maintain
a
40
kilometer
rich
recycling,
Network
beginning
in
2016,
when
you
think
that
in
2010
only
six
short
years
ago,
total
cycling
funding
is
1.4
million
dollars.
We've
increased
the
total
annual
funding
almost
7
fold,
the
25
million
dollar
investment
in
cycle
engine
in
the
last
term.
The
council
is
the
largest
this
city
has
ever
seen
and
at
the
end
of
this
term,
we're
on
track
to
do
even
better
by
investing
more
than
31
million
dollars
over
four
years.
K
So
this
presentation
of
the
draft
budget
for
2016
includes
Public
Works
and
planning
and
growth
management
within
public
courts.
We
have
office
of
general
manager,
the
business
services,
traffic
services,
road
services,
parking
services
and
fleet
services
and
within
planning
and
growth,
we've
included
transportation,
planning.
K
So
this
provides
an
overview
of
the
operating
budget
for
2016,
and
the
total
expenditures
are
176
million
dollars.
That's
an
increase
of
approximately
3%
from
the
previous
year.
Salaries
make
up
about
38%
of
this
expenditure,
so
this
is
an
area
that
is
heavy
on
materials
and
contracts
and
other
services,
salaries
pay
a
small
percentage
in
terms
of
the
overall
expenditures.
The
expenditures
are
shown
net
of
recoveries
and
allocations.
The
revenue
for
2016
is
eighteen
point,
eight
million
dollars,
which
is
even
with
the
previous
year.
K
So
there
is
no
no
significant
increase
and
it's
primarily
primarily
from
fees
and
services,
primarily
in
the
parking
services
area,
so
parking
services,
a
cost
recovery,
and
you
see
the
expenditures
in
the
revenues
match
in
terms
of
overall
FTE
changes.
There's
two
point:
three:
two
percent
two
point:
three
two
FTE
reduction
and
that's
in
Public
Works
for
contracting
out
Iron
Works.
K
K
In
terms
of
the
capital
budget,
most
of
the
expenditures
are
on
the
renewal
side.
As
you
can
see,
there's
one
hundred
and
twenty
two
million
in
renewal
projects,
half
about
less
than
half,
is
in
transportation
services.
The
rest
is
an
integrated
roads,
water
and
wastewater,
which
includes
rate
when
you
look
at
the
overall
one
hundred
twenty
two
million
forty
two
percent
of
that
is
rate,
so
that
is
recovered
by
rate
and
fifty
six
percent
is
tax.
Fifty
five
percent
of
that
total
is
is
funded
by
debt.
K
L
K
Chart
provides
an
overview
of
the
total
capital
expenditures
and
it
summarizes
what
I
spoke
about
in
the
previous
slides.
So
overall,
money
coming
from
capital
reserves
is
38.5
percent
and
debt
is
seventy
six
point.
Five,
seventeen
percent
is
coming
from
development
charges
and
a
very
small
portion
is
coming
from
gas
tax.
K
And
this
provides
a
highlight
by
area
of
that
spending.
You'll
see
that
in
the
renewal
area,
a
large
part
of
it
comes
from
transportation,
infrastructure,
services
of
44
million
and
then
and
then
any
growth.
The
large,
the
most
significant
spending
is
in
the
planning,
growth
area
and
strategic
initiatives,
also
in
the
planning
growth
area.
So
the
two
key
areas
of
capital
spending
are
in
transportation,
infrastructure
services
and
planning
and
growth.
M
Thank
you
over
to
me
for
some
highlights
for
the
infrastructure
services
department.
This
slide
also
shows
the
the
what
falls
under
this.
The
Mandate
of
this
particular
committee,
but
also
from
an
overall
renewal
perspective
related
to
transportation,
needs
we're
also
highlighting
some
of
the
approvals
that
are
under
either
Environment,
Committee
or
or
Iraq,
so
example
running
us
through.
M
So
just
the
highlights
under
the
integrated
program.
Again,
as
I
said,
it's
a
65
million
dollar
program.
There
is
a
few
on
the
screen,
just
some
some
examples.
In
total
on
the
on
the
integrated
program,
there's
21
projects
under
this
program,
of
which
many
of
the
projects
contain
a
number
of
streets
within
the
project
and
14
of
those
projects,
are
the
funding,
is
to
proceed
to
construction
and
an
additional
seven
is
for
the
purposes
of
design
on
the
road
resurfacing
preservation.
M
As
cherry
glued
to
at
the
beginning
or
33
million
dollar
investment
this
year-
and
if
you
a
comparison
and
in
the
2015
program,
the
the
resurfacing
program
was
in
the
order
of
22
million
the
program
again
again,
some
examples
you'll
see
on
the
slide
overall
there's
about
75
roadways
that
are
being
undertaken
this
year
and
with
the
number
of
roads
those
number
of
roads
represent
about
2
percent
of
the
overall
network,
the
transportation
network.
A
few
highlights
on
the
structure
aside:
this
is
a
nine
million
dollar
program.
M
N
Thank
You,
Wayne
planning
and
growth
management
is
the
lead
for
transportation
projects
that
address
the
growth
needs
of
the
city.
Our
work
plan
spans
active
transportation,
as
you
see
here
on
this
slide
with
the
walking
and
cycling
programs
and
transit
infrastructure,
such
as
parking
rides
and
funding
to
acquire
strategic
property
parcels
for
transit
corridor
protection.
As
noted
by
chair
eagle-eye
in
his
introduction,
pedestrians
facilities
and
cycling
facilities,
programs
are
being
funded
to
the
tune
of
5.5
million
dollars.
Next
slide.
N
This
slide
shows
examples
of
roads
planned
for
capital
works
to
respond
to
growth
pressures
for
some
locations.
There
is
also
a
need
to
improve
accessibility
and
movement
before
a
road
can
be
altered,
and
as
such,
we
have
programs
like
the
network,
modifications
and
intersection
control
measures
with
budgets
that
total
4.2,
eight
million
in
2016.
N
E
Michael
some
capital
highlights
from
public
works
for
the
renewal
side
and
our
street
lighting
major
replacements,
2.6
million
dollars.
That
is
largely
to
cover
cable
fault,
repairs
or
replacements
throughout
the
city,
lifecycle,
for
a
traffic
control
system,
and
that's
largely
for
upgrades
to
our
traffic
controllers
or
signal
controllers
and
still
rebuild
some
of
the
underground
plant.
That's
required
that's
required
for
replacement
and
then
the
traffic
monitoring.
E
C
I
Morning,
my
name
is
Perry
Krueger,
a
president
of
the
national
capital,
heavy
construction
Association.
Fortunately,
there
is
a
little
bit
of
poetry
here.
The
theme
of
this
year's
presentation
is
the
road
not
taken'.
Many
of
you
may
remember.
This
is
Robert
Frost,
most
famous
poem.
The
poem
ends
with
two
roads
diverged
in
a
wood
and
I
I
took
the
one
less
traveled
by
and
that
has
made
all
the
difference.
I
I
The
OMB
I
report
confirms
the
findings
of
the
2012
Canadian
infrastructure
report.
I'd.
The
seasonal
analysis
of
the
report
card
results
clearly
show
that
the
roads
are
buying
fire,
the
worst
off
when
it
comes
to
condition
of
city
assets.
The
City
of
Ottawa,
just
2121
percent
of
all
roads,
are
deemed
to
be
in
good,
very
good
condition.
I
The
story
gets
even
scarier
when
you
look
at
collector,
roads
were
over.
50%
are
rated
as
being
for
to
very
poor
condition,
as
can
be
seen
in
this
figure.
The
cost
for
ability
a
road
increases
five
to
ten
times.
If
partial
reconstruction
has
to
be
undertaken,
stead
of
and
overnight,
and
if
the
major
rehabilitation
is
not
conducted
when
it
is
needed,
a
reconstruction
will
cost
even
more.
I
According
to
technical
paper
prepared
by
the
World
Bank,
the
economic
costs
of
road
maintenance
are
borne
primarily
by
road
users.
When
a
road
is
allowed
utility
from
good
to
poor
condition.
Each
dollar
saved
on
road
maintenance
increases
volatile
organic
compounds
by
between
two
and
three
dollars:
five
from
saving
money,
cutting
back
on
road
maintenance,
increase
the
cost
of
road
transportation
and
what
raises
the
net
cost
to
the
economy
as
a
whole?
I
Despite
this
need
for
infrastructure
investment
for
roads,
the
city's
proposal
would
spend
even
less
on
Transportation
capital
in
2016
that
it
did
in
14
and
15
from
comparing
capital
expenditures
on
roads.
It
is
also
important
to
note
that
a
dollar
spent
today
gets
you
a
lot
less
than
what
a
dollar
got
in
the
past.
Today
he
wrote.
I
Capital
dollars
also
have
to
pay
for
species
at
risk,
permits
to
take
and
discharge
water,
accessibility
issues,
inflation
and
etc,
and
while
the
2016
draft
budget
may
be
forecast
an
increased
transportation
capital
spending
in
future
years,
we
were
somewhat
skeptical.
The
city
water
has
failed
to
meet
its
next
year.
Forecasts
for
transportation,
capital
investment
for
the
past
two
years
in
the
2015
budget,
the
city
forecastle,
they
would
invest
195
million
in
2016.
In
reality,
they
now
propose
to
invest
21
million
dollars
less.
I
This
spending
pattern
would
appear
to
be
at
odds
with
your
long-range
financial
plan,
for
this
plan
identifies
a
need
to
increase
the
tax
report
of
funding
for
renewal
city
assets
to
level
165
million
dollars
per
year
to
maintain
state
of
good
repair
versus
an
average
historical
expenditure
of
only
approximately
80
million
dollars
per
year,
at
least
with
respect
to
roads.
This
spending
gap
appears
to
be
widening.
I
Instead
of
closing,
as
was
noted
in
Robert
Frost,
most
famous
poem,
it
would
appear
that
you
are
choosing
the
wrong
road
while
an
average
23
percent
of
capital
funding
is
supported
by
debt,
44%
transportation
committee
capital
projects
are
funded
by
debt.
The
good
news
is
is
that
as
a
council,
you
appear
to
be
getting
it.
Matthew
Pearson,
the
Ottawa
Citizen
reported
results
of
a
survey
about
the
upcoming
budget.
96%
of
you
know
that
infrastructure
and
roads
and
new
responses
and
78%
of
you
know
the
infrastructure
rules
of
priority.
I
70%
specifically
comment
on
the
condition
of
the
roads.
Above
is
what
a
few
you
had
to
say
in
conclusion,
while
maintaining
a
2%
tax
increase
is
arguably
the
right
to
take
in
terms
of
providing
reliable,
affordable,
CD
at
services,
it
would
appear
that
the
council
has
reached
a
fork
in
the
road
when
it
comes
to
the
condition
of
auto
roads.
Evidence
is
mounting.
The
city
must
take
the
road
less
traveled.
I
In
order
to
make
a
difference,
this
new
road
could
include
real
cow
reallocated
funny
from
across
all
budget
envelopes
to
help
pay
for
needed
infrastructure
renewal.
The
city
could
also
choose
to
increase
debt
to
pay
for
these
repairs
before
the
cause
it
cost
even
more
in
the
future.
This
would
be
consistent
with
what
the
city
has
already
been
doing.
Investing
more
this
year
would
also
send
a
strong
message
to
your
provincial
and
federal
partners
that
the
city
is
prepared
to
step
up
to
the
plate
on
infrastructure
infrastructure
project
funding.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
C
O
You
very
much
I
appreciate
your
continued
persistence
on
asking
us
to
raise
taxes
to
invest
in
infrastructure.
My
question
is:
when
I
knock
on
doors
and
I
and
I
speak
to
residents.
Those
who
are
often
the
most
opposed
to
tax
increases
are
very
often
those
that
work
in
your
industry
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
you
communicate
your
desire
for
us
to
increase
taxes
to
your
employees
through
your
membership.
H
H
E
O
K
E
K
H
You
know
the
municipalities
have
the
lowest
opportunity
to
raise
money
to
pay
for
roads.
We
don't
think
that
they
should
be
paying
the
one-third
cost.
All
you
have
to
do
is
to
take
a
look
at
so
what
goes
on
in
the
GTA
and
the
imbalance
that
exists
in
terms
of
funding
at
the
provincial
level,
in
particular,
for
infrastructure
projects,
but
we
are
actively
at
there
pursuing
the
issue
at
the
other
levels
of
government.
O
O
C
O
The
gotta
go
campaign
endorses
the
statement
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
staff
report
that
there
will
be
public
washrooms
at
seven
stations
as
resetting
rapid
transit
network
and
they
listed
down
there.
We
have
two
requests
and
an
offer
today
that
the
above
statement
be
revised
to
include
public
washrooms
at
the
Eagle
cement,
rimworld
Park,
&,
Ride
lots
and
at
the
greenberg
station,
and
that
the
Transportation
Committee
established
a
policy
requiring
accessible,
open,
safe,
easy
to
find
public
toilets
at
major
transit
interchanges.
O
A
member
of
the
golly
bro
campaign
team
has
volunteered
to
work
with
the
city
of
art,
of
staff,
to
research
options,
to
reduce
those
estimated
costs
and
on
a
personal
note,
I
do
understand
what
a
difficult
task
it
is.
Councils
have
just
provide
the
services
we
keep
requesting
and
our
Lupton's
to
pay
for
them.
Thank
you.
O
But
if
that
poses
the
only
only
feasible,
then
I'd
say
go
for
it.
Okay,
I
may
not
be
representing
all
the
members
of
the
gada
group
committee
on
on
that
particular
point,
but
I
certainly
believe
it
would
be
better
to
get
the
facilities
and
pay
for
them
on
a
per
use
basis
than
not
to
have
them
at
all.
I.
G
C
P
Good
morning,
chair,
guy
and
respected
members
of
this
committee,
thanks
for
allowing
us
the
opportunity
to
present
a
bit
of
information
that
what
we
would
like
to
see
prioritized
in
this
budget,
first,
a
little
bit
about
the
healthy
transportation
coalition.
The
coalition
now
has
more
than
100
individual
members
and
25
organizational
members
you'll
see
that
the
organizational
members
are
quite
diverse.
They
represent,
in
some
cases,
hospitals
and
other
cases.
P
Our
budget
requests
were
sent
in
a
letter
to
the
mayor
and
all
city
councillors
at
the
end
of
October,
and
we
asked
that
the
city
do
the
following
that
it
spend
as
part
of
budget
2016
a
minimum
of
3.5
million
dollars
for
the
pedestrian
facilities
program.
I,
don't
see
that
commitment
in
this
budget.
That's
before
you
today
we
asked
that
you
spend
a
minimum
of
$20
20
million
dollars
a
year
to
build
more
cycling
specific
infrastructure,
with
a
priority
placed
on
improving
the
connectivity
of
the
cycling
network.
P
Citywide
again
I,
don't
see
that
commitment
in
the
budget
before
you
here
today
and
finally,
we
ask
that
the
city
study
the
feasibility
and
and
show
effectiveness
of
user
fees
for
roads.
We
heard
from
the
construction
folks
earlier
that
the
city
is
not
taking
care
of
the
close
to
6000
kilometers
of
roads
that
it
currently
has
under
its
responsibility.
One
way
that
it
could
perhaps
pay
for
that
upkeep
and
it's
important
to
note
that
the
cost
of
repairing
roads
increases
exponentially
as
you
fail
to
repair
them,
as
those
repairs
are
needed.
P
So
this
is
a
way
that
those
repairs
could
be
paid
for
is
by
actually
charging
user
fees
for
the
use
of
the
roads.
And
in
the
letter
that
we
wrote
to
you,
he
stated
that
road
pricing
could
generate
new
revenue
for
the
city
and
that
new
revenue
could
be
used
to
invest
in
more
pedestrian
and
cycling
infrastructure,
for
example.
P
So
it's
important
to
note
that
the
entire
Minister
of
Transportation
Steven
DeLuca,
has
said
that
the
province
was
willing
to
work
with
any
municipality
that
wants
to
add
a
tolls
to
existing
roads
under
their
jurisdiction.
I
think
that's
an
important
positive
development
that
City
of
Ottawa
should
explore
at
a
minimum.
We
would
encourage
you
to
increase
parking
fees
at
city-owned
Lots
and
for
on
street
parking
and
we'd
also
request
that
you
cancel
plans
to
widen
roads,
so
the
airport
parkway
is
projected
to
cost
eighty
six
million
dollars.
P
If
you
were
to
cancel
that,
that
would
be
a
huge
savings
that
could
be
redirected
elsewhere.
Also
the
hope
side
road
is,
you
know,
gonna
cause
quite
a
bit
of
damage
to
what
has
been
recognized
as
a
core
natural
area
of
the
green
belt
that
is,
stony
swamp
and
canceling.
That
would
save
tens
of
millions
of
dollars.
P
A
better
job
within
the
transportation
sector
to
reduce
air
pollution
you'd
be
able
to
fund
a
variety
of
things
if
you
were
to
cancel
the
road
widening
projects
such
as
more
better
bike
lanes,
more
and
better
pedestrian
infrastructure
and
a
world-class
public
transportation
system.
That
would
extend
all
the
way
up
to
kanata
in
the
next
ten
years,
which
would
be
great
since
the
current
plan
does
not
include
that.
P
P
Finally,
that
the
transportation
master
plan
draft
that
was
tabled
in
January
2013
included
a
commitment
to
study
user
pay
approach
for
roads,
just
a
study.
That's
all
we're
asking
for
look
into
it
and
unfortunately
that
commitment
was
remained
from
version
that
was
approved
in
November
2013.
So
it's
not
that
there
aren't
confident
people
at
City
Hall
who
could
conduct
that
study?
It
wouldn't
cost
a
dime.
So
we
would
urge
this
committee,
as.
C
A
As
committee
members
will
appreciate,
this
is
not
a
new
issue,
but
it
is
a
persistent
one
and
it
has
been
the
subject
of
a
number
of
major
studies,
including
two
recent
studies
by
the
Pembina
Institute
and
the
eco
fiscal
commission,
which
have
strongly
supported
the
introducing
tolls
and
congestion
charges
in
major
Canadian
cities.
The
study
suggests
that
an
effective
urban
transportation
policy
requires
both
supply
and
demand
side
issues
be
addressed
and
just
a
quote
from
the
Pembina
study.
A
Investing
in
transit
infrastructure
is
part
of
the
solution,
but
for
both
transit
infrastructure
will
not
be
enough
to
encourage
sufficient
modal
shift
later.
Efforts
are
needed
to
shift
more
commuters
out
of
their
personal
vehicles
and
onto
public
transit,
and
this
is
the
precise
point
where
transit
and
transportation
issues
intersect.
A
successful
transit
programs
such
as
otherwise
LRT
going
to
be
really
successful.
If
you're
able
to
shift
a
substantial
number
of
private
vehicle
users
away
from.
A
These
options
have
been
tried
successfully
in
many
cities
and
clearly
in
American
cities,
but
they
really
so
that's
a
very
starting
point.
I
understand
that
it's
politically
difficult
to
impose
these
kinds
of
charges,
because
they're
invaluable
seem
as
punitive
by
vehicle
users
an
additional
tax,
a
tax.
A
There
are
some
suggestions
to
Niko
fiscal
commission
suggesting
that
they
propose
a
pilot
project
to
convert
high
occupancy
vehicle
lanes,
such
as
already
exists
on
the
417
in
parts
to
high
occupancy
toll
lanes.
I
actually
advocated
this
in
the
papers
we
prepared
for
ecology
auto
a
few
years
ago,
but
I've
changed
my
mind.
I
believe
that's
an
inappropriate
option
for
Ottawa
because
it
defeats
the
principle
of
hopping
occupancy
vehicle
lanes,
which
is
to
encourage
ride-sharing.
A
Nevertheless,
the
pilot
implementation
of
some
kind
needs
to
be
considered
and
I.
My
colleague
Trevor
just
mentioned
that
the
minister
transportation
has
said
the
province
is
willing
to
work
with
any
municipality
that
wants
to
add
tolls
to
existing
roads
under
their
jurisdiction.
So
we
request
that
I
get
in
touch
with
the
new
system.
A
As
a
final
note,
in
doing
this,
it's
very
important
to
educate
consumers
who
are
also
voters
I.
Think
of
this
not
as
a
tax,
and
you
like
to
use
your
car
for
community,
but
rather
as
a
means
to
reduce
travel
time
and,
at
the
same
time
generate
revenue
to
maintain
roads
and,
ideally
to
pay
for
more
sustainable
transport
options.
Thanks
for
letting
me
make
this
presentation,
thank.
C
Q
Thanks
very
much
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
address
the
members
of
the
committee.
This
morning,
I'm
Chris
Ulster
I'm,
a
project
coordinator
in
the
developer
at
the
Sandy
Hill
Community
Health
Center
a
little
bit
background
about
Sandy
Hill.
As
you
may
know,
Sandy
Hill
has
been
actively
supporting
act
to
transportation
efforts
in
Sandy,
Hill
and
old
Ottawa
East,
as
well
as
participating
in
the
respective
neighborhood
community
design
plans
and
Main
Street
reconstruction
processes.
Q
Sandy
Hill,
Community,
Health
Center
is
an
active
organization,
and
member
of
the
healthy
transportation
coalition
have
recently
joined
the
Ottawa
schools,
active
transportation
network,
so,
on
behalf
of
the
San
Diego
community
health
center
I'm
here
today
to
urge
the
committee
to
increase
the
portion
of
the
transportation
budget
that
would
support
active
transportation
and
affordable
transit
and
I
recognize
that
tomorrow's
Transit
Commission
many
stakeholders
will
be
voicing
their
support
for
a
low-income
transit
pass.
But
today
I'll
focus
just
the
words
on
active
transportation,
so
investing
in
active
transportation
brings
very
high
returns.
Q
According
to
a
2014
report
of
medical
officers
of
health
and
the
GTHA,
a
titled
improving
health
by
design
in
the
Greater
Toronto
Hamilton
area.
Spending
more
on
infrastructure
and
support
for
active
transportation
is
prudent.
Investment
that
pays
huge
dividends,
increases
in
activity
through
active
transportation
in
public
transit
use
can
have
significant
health
benefits,
including
the
prevention
of
premature
deaths
and
chronic
diseases
such
as
the
diabetes
additional
health
benefits
are
realized
by
the
reduction
in
traffic
related
air
pollution,
improve
transportation,
equity,
greater
social
connectivity,
reduced
injuries
and
greater
support
for
an
aging
population.
Q
There
are
cost
savings
associated
with
investment
in
active
transportation
infrastructure.
The
return
on
investment
of
movement,
a
2012
benchmarking
report
for
bicycling
and
walking
in
the
United
States
provides
some
interesting
statistics
so
cycling
and
walking.
I
fell
66%
between
1960
and
2009,
while
obesity
levels
increased
by
a
hundred
and
fifty
percent.
The
percent
of
children
who
walk
or
bike
to
school
fell
75
percent
between
1960
and
2009,
while
childhood
obesity
rose,
276
percent
during
that
same
period,
Canadians
walk
a
bike
for
12%
of
daily
trips.
Q
Americans
I
was
saying
the
Netherlands
have
51%
and
Denmark
34%,
well,
walk,
walking
and
biking
comprise
12
percent
of
all
u.s.
trips
and
14
percent
of
fatalities.
Facilities
get
less
than
2
percent
of
u.s.
federal
transportation
funds.
Similar
statistics
exist
in
Canada,
cycling
and
walking.
Investments
return
up
to
11
dollars
and
80
cents
for
every
dollar
invested.
Q
That's
a
return
on
investment
of
10
point
eight
times,
and
often
with
less
initial
investment
required
than
transit,
and
that's
before
you
factor
in
greenhouse
gas
impacts,
which
are
hydrated
value.
A
2004
statistical
report
from
the
Department
of
Transport
in
the
UK
shows
investing
in
cycling
brings
huge
economic,
social
and
health
benefits
with
some
cycling
schemes
having
a
benefit
to
cost
ratio
of
up
to
35
to
one
the
new
funded
cycling
schemes
in
the
they
have
benefit
to
cost
ratios
of
five
and
a
half
to
one.
Q
The
Department
of
Transport
said
this
means
for
every
dollar.
Sorry,
every
pound
of
public
money
spent
the
funded
schemes
provide
five
and
a
half
pounds
worth
of
social
benefit,
and
people
want
to
cycle
and
will
end
to
walk
walking
is
the
easiest
and
most
affordable
form
of
transportation?
According
to
a
national
survey
on
active
transportation
conducted
by
Enver,
onyx,
there's
a
very
high
degree
of
willingness
to
walk
or
ride
a
bike
instead
of
drive.
In
fact,
82%
of
Canadians
are
willing
to
walk
more
and
66%
are
willing
to
cycle
more
given
appropriate
facilities.
Q
16
recommendations
we
would
like
to
ensure
that
the
budget
2016
includes
core
funding
for
pedestrian
and
cycling
infrastructure
improvements,
the
strategic
initiatives
funding
carried
some
of
the
active
transportation
line
items
last
year,
but
we
believe
that
active
transportation
should
be
treated
as
essential
as
such
as
core
funded
transportation
costs
in
2016
and
future
budgets.
We
support
the
healthy
transportation
coalition
recommendations
to
the
city
which
had
been
presented
earlier
and
they
encouraged
the
transportation
to
community
to
consider
them.
In
closing,
we
support
a
city
that
strives
to
be
efficient.
Q
However,
if
efficient
means
a
reduction
of
services
that
unfairly
impact
marginalized
populations
and
residents
living
on
knowing,
then
we,
along
with
our
fellow
community
health
and
resource
centers,
would
support
an
increase
of
one
percent
above
the
2%
tax
target.
We
applaud
the
city
throughout
the
predominant
overtime
on
supporting
active
transportation
projects
and
the
reason
support
of
the
complete
street
implementation
framework.
It's
very
exciting.
Thank
you
to
the
Transportation
Committee
members
for
your
efforts
to
increase
and
improve
the
active
and
safe
transportation
in
Ottawa
Thank.
Q
I
was
just
skipped
over
that
section
because
it
was
mentioned
already
by
the
delegation
from
the
healthy
transportation
coalition,
but
we
do
support
their
requests
to
spend
three
and
a
half
million
on
the
pedestrian
facilities
program
in
2016
to
spend
20
million
a
year.
Cycling
which
matches
the
overall
transportation
budget
to
the
percent
of
people
currently
riding
their
bikes
to
create
protected
bicycle
lane
network
and
connectivity
through
the
city
and
to
commit
to
studying
the
user
possibilities
for
roads.
So.
P
Twenty
three
point:
five
million
new
dollars.
Is
that
correct,
that's
correct!
So
that's
one
percent,
madam
treasurer
increase,
gives
us
how
many
millions,
twelve
fourteen,
so
you
you
want
us
to
spend
twenty
three
million.
You
also
want
to
sink,
raise
taxes
by
1
million,
so
there's
a
shortfall
of
about
nine
million.
Where,
where
do
you
suggest
that
comes
from
that's
a
good.
Q
Q
P
P
I
guess
my
point
is
that
you're
suggesting
we
raise
taxes,
another
one
percent
which
is
not
even
going
to
cover
a
fraction
of
what
you're
asking
we
spend
more
on,
and
then
your
community
health
resource
centers
came
and
asked
for
more
money.
On
top
of
that.
So
where
do
you
think
it's
a
reasonable
level
of
Taxation
you're,
asking
1%
which,
by
your
own
admission,
will
not
you
don't
want
it
all
for
your
projects?
You
want
to
do
it
for
other
groups
and
sure
other
groups
would
appreciate
that.
So
do
you
have
you
know
you?
P
You
run
a
budget
at
your
committee,
health,
senator
from
time
to
time
because
of
less
revenue
or
or
increased
costs.
You
have
to
make
some
difficult
decisions.
You
have
to
reduce
your
budget,
so
I'm
assuming
your
budgets
been
reduced
over
the
years
by
various
amounts
because
of
various
circumstances.
So
we're
asking
members
of
the
public
who
want
us
to
spend
a
lot
more
money.
How
can
we
save
some
money?
So
do
you
have
any
ideas
that
we
could
save
money
as
well
to
help
pay
for
some
of
the
costs
that
you
want
us
to
incur?
P
P
Q
P
I'm
very
proud
of
the
fact
that
a
hundred
percent
of
the
gas
tax
revenue
that
we
collect
from
motorists
goes
to
transit,
how
two
percent
of
the
capital
costs
of
transit
come
from
the
taxpayers
and
we're
spending
a
record
amount
of
money
on
cycling
initiatives
last
term
of
Council
and
we're
spending
even
more
this
term
of
council,
which
I
think
is
a
positive
step.
So
I
appreciate
your
input.
Thank
you.
I.

The
last

I
have
on

So
if
there's
someone
else
that
wishes
to
speak
to
the
committee,
if
they
can
sign
up
in
the
corner
next
to

otherwise
we'll
move
to
questions
to

after
these
last
two

my
name
is
Biggs.
You
have
five
minutes.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today
on
behalf
of
these
sacs
active
transportation
subcommittee.
Transportation
is
a
significant
source
of
pollution
and
carbon
emissions
or
the
city
is
uniquely
placed
to
influence
it.
In
addition
to
the
environmental
benefits,
reducing
the
number
of
vehicles
on
the
road
would
decrease
congestion
and
costs
maintenance
and
their
construction
aerial
construction
in
2006,
Transport
Canada
estimated.
L
The
cost
of
congestion
in
Ottawa
cap
know
to
be
as
high
as
eighty
eight
point:
six
million
dollars
per
year,
the
CD
Howe
Institute
in
2013,
concluded
that
governments
across
Canada
have
not
been
accounted
for:
the
fuel
costs
and
benefits
of
infrastructure
investments.
The
cost
of
the
GTHA
is
over
seven
billion
per
year.
The
true
cost
of
driving
is
high
and
has
been
subsidized
by
driver
and
non-driver
City
taxpayers.
For
this
reason,
East
sac
supports
investing
in
active
transportation,
infrastructure,
public
transit,
carpooling
teleworking
and
implementing
initiatives
that
have
potential
to
change.
L
Behaviors,
active
transportation
safety
concerns
remain
an
important
barrier
for
citizens,
choosing
not
to
use
cycling
as
their
mode
of
transportation.
Cyclists
are
vulnerable
road
users
and
the
city
has
a
responsibility
to
make
it
safer.
Isaq
recommends

projects
listed
in
the
transportation
budget
to
enhance
cycling
and
pedestrian
modes
of

such
as

East

L
Whenever
the
city
expands
or
significantly
repairs
roads
outside
the
urban
core.
Consider
the
addition
of
a
1
meter
pair
of
shoulder
for
bikes,
this
there's,
usually
sufficient
room
to
span
for
paving
and
the
minor

cost,
could
be
offset
somewhat
by
easier

plows,
safer
accident
recovery
from
attentive

entire

as
well
as
increased
exercise
for

and
psycho
tourism
carpooling
in
order
to
incentivize
carpooling
and
make
it
become
part
of
Otto's
culture.
L
Esat
recommends
seven
establish
a
segregated
carpool
lane
on
key
arteries
where
appropriate

were
appropriate
similar
to
what

L
The

as
a
means
of
reducing

associated
with

probably
would
be
unlikely
but
and

enforce
the

Thank
you.
C
F
Thank
you
very
much,
a
man
seeing
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
on
the
e
sack
I
I
did
get
electronically
and
glanced
through
I'll
be
honest
glanced
through
yesterday
evening
before
before
coming
here.
Thank
you
for
that
very
thorough
list.
I'll
also
be
honest
and
say
it's
highly
unlikely.
We
could
do
all
of
those
things,
but
there
are
a
number
of
very
good
ideas
in
that
that
I
think
merit
closer
look,
whether
in
time
for
this
year's
budget
or
to
give
some
advanced
thought
and
work
through
them
with
you
for
for
next
year.
C
R
R
Thanks
so
much
for
having
me
here,
I'm
representing
Ontario,
Public,
Interest,
Research
Group.
We
have
partnered
with
the
healthy
transportation
coalition
in
a
research
project
where
we
are
looking
at
different
neighborhoods
and
what
are
the
obstacles
to
access
healthy
transportation.
So
in
the
last
year
we
have
done
several
sharing
circles,
we
call
it
which
those
are
community
conversations
where
we
need
with
people
and
talk
about
healthy
transportation,
but
careful
transportation
is
and
what
are
the
barriers,
all
the
benefits
that
they
are
having
from
access
into
healthy
transportation.
R
What
we
found
there
for
herand
gate
was
that
a
lot
of
bus
shelters
were
needed,
save
cycling
infrastructure
like
in
Berkeley,
in
Harran,
Road
and
Bank,
very
lighting
in
Santa
would
and
library
parks.
There
are
winter
clean
of
sidewalks
and
pathways.
Also.
They
mentioned
about
a
high
cost
of
public
transportation
after
they
frequent
services
salvation
they
mentioned,
and
this
was
repeated
in
their
several
conversations.
R
We
have
the
issues
with
Crossing
for
pedestrians
that
were
needed
in
at
least
two
places
on
would
good
Woodbridge
request
sent
just
west
of
the
mall
so
that
people
can
more
easily
access
to
be
sure
station
transit,
way,
stop
and
in
front
of
the
aqua,
a
village
recreation
center
to
get
to
an
eastbound
bus
stop
and
the
recreation
center
bicycle
lanes.
So
that
was
in
kansai
code
to
the
key
destination.
They
shall
drive,
Richmond,
Road,
Colleen
avenue
and
Woodridge
crescent.
R
The
city
should
also
work
with
local
retailers
to
enhance
the
food
accessibility
in
the
community,
which
is
say,
that's
a
food
desert.
So
people
have
like
really
hard
time
getting
groceries,
quality
of
the
working
on
site
or
infrastructure
needed
attention,
walking,
path
by
path
and
sidewalks
need
to
be
clear
of
contraction,
be
brace
and
snow.
In
the
winter
time,
options
should
be
available
for
families
and
low-income
residents
who
wish
to
use
public
transit
such
as
a
low-income
transit
bus,
pass
more
bicycle.
R
R
So
the
recommendations
related
to
the
budget,
but
you
are
looking
at,
would
be
early
most
more
of
a
focus
on
equity,
meaning
that
protecting
money,
the
city
will
spend
on
new
roads
and
red
widening
to
create
a
low-income
transit
bus
bus,
more
bike
lanes,
sidewalks,
crosswalks
and
better
snow
clearing
in
the
winter
roads
do
nothing
to
help
people
who
cannot
afford
to
own
and
operate
a
car.
Look
for
more
revenue
tools
from
the
province.
R
C
Thank
you
very
much.
Are
there
any
questions
for
the
delegation?
Okay,
seeing
none?
Thank
you
we're
going
to
move
into
questions
to
staff,
and
once
we've
done
that
our
last
councillor
mishchenko,
to
introduce
the
the
road
map
motion
I'm,
going
to
start
off
with
just
a
quick
question
for
mr.
Wylie
in
in
light
of
the
the
weather,
would
have
BES
far
this
winter.
If
I
can
call
it
winter
at
this
point,
I
don't
want
to
jinx
anything
and
the
the
forecast
that
we
have
for
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
C
E
C
You
the
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
ask,
but
in
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
early
on
in
terms
of
service
standards
and
what
have
you,
but
but
one
of
the
things
that
wasn't
talked
about
was
your
proposal
for
an
effect,
a
new
salt
strategy
or
salt
monitoring
and
how
that
might
achieve
savings
first
going
for.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
and.
E
C
F
Thank
you
very
much.
I
had
an
idea
for
a
bit
of
humor,
which
I
thought
I'd
throw
in
there
can
we
calculate
what
the
office
that
would
be
between
lost
revenue
from
ski
sales
and
ski
passes.
If
we
have
a
green
winter
versus
the
savings
in
cities,
transportation
I
figured
I'd
put
that
out
there,
that
that
was
a
joke
first
before
it
get
people
thinking,
I'm
being
serious
about
that.
Obviously,
there's
benefits
to
a
green
Christmas,
but
that's
perhaps
not
something
any
of
us
can
can
guess.
F
At
this
point,
my
question
or
a
number
of
delegations
raised
the
question:
the
possibility
of
a
study
of
other
fiscal
tools,
whether
it
be
user
fees,
tolls,
congestion
charges,
there's
a
whole
range
of
ones
that
are
used
in
different
cities
around
the
world.
Has
the
City
of
Ottawa
ever
done
such
a
study
and,
if
so
that,
all
recently
but
anyone's
aware
of.
F
No
okay,
I
know
I've
just
a
big
one
in
the
GTA
I
guess
it
was
called.
The
big
mover
had
a
title
such
as
that
world,
where
there
was
a
somewhat
of
a
study
done
there.
I
would
be
interested
in
how
much
we
think
it
would
cost
to
carry
out
a
study
like
that
and
what
the
amount
of
time
might
be
required
to
to
do
that.
F
We're
talking
a
couple
of
months
or
or
a
whole
year
to
do
a
fairly
accurate
study
of
the
tools
available
to
us
and
perhaps
best
practices
from
other
cities,
I'm,
not
thinking
a
really
detailed
one,
but
perhaps
a
review
of
best
practices
and
ones
that
might
be
applied
effectively
to
Ottawa,
because
I
feel
we,
although
we
all
bristle
at
the
idea
of
paying
more
money
for
anything,
I,
think
it's
important
to
know
what
the
options
are,
what
they
cost,
what
the
benefits
might
be.
So
we
can
make
a
decision
to
opt
for
one
or
not.
N
F
Than
that,
what
are
some
of
the
I
listed,
a
number
of
the
ones
that
I
know
are
off
the
top
of
my
head
congestion
charges
for
entering
a
periphery
of
the
city,
certainly
tolls
on
certain
roads,
or
bridges
usually
used
with
a
new
one
as
a
way
of
helping
to
fund
that
I
am
curious.
Whether
well
I
already
asked
the
question.
I
think
the
answer
is
no,
if
I
couldn't
recall
in
the
20
or
so
years
of
following
city
politics
fairly
closely
here,
that
Ottawa
had
ever
done
one
about
perhaps
this
direction.
N
Mr.
chair,
you
are
correct
councillors.
Certainly
planning
growth
management
has
not
undertaken
such
a
study
on
any
of
those
examples.
You've
raised
I'm
personally
familiar
with
some
of
the
work
that
was
done
in
the
GTA
and
while
we've
never
set
our
mind
to
a
quantum
or
the
staff.
Time
to
you
know
to
be
involved
in
such
an
amount
of
work.
F
If
it
could
be
taking
this
direction
to
just
get
an
estimate
on
what
a
detailed
study
along
the
lines
of
the
GTA
is
one
and
then
a
much
simpler
version,
which
is
a
review
of
best
practices
in
major
cities
around
the
world
that
might
have
used
some
of
these
tools,
how
much
they
are
costing,
how
much
they're
raising
whether
they
are
effective,
I
mean
that's
critical.
Are
they
effective?
F
It's
one
thing
to
Intuit
put
in
at
all
or
a
congestion
charge
and
then
discover
that
it
didn't
really
address
what
it
was
meant
to,
or
maybe
it's
working
wonderfully
raising
revenue
and
reducing
congestion
and
helping
to
fund.
You
know
other
road
projects,
so
perhaps
if
we
could
get
some
kind
of
an
estimate
back
in
time
for
council
what
kind
of
a
cost
estimate
for
that.
N
C
C
So
I
guess
two
comments
I
would
have
is
I
would
also
want,
if
you're
going
to
undertake
that
question
to
also
speak
to
the
feasibility
in
terms
of
timing,
because
I
know
you
already
set
your
work
plan
so
and
you're
saying
that
it
may
be
a
substantial
investment
of
resources,
so
I
think
we
would
also
like
to
hear
when
such
a
study
would
be
doable
in
terms
of
the
work
plan
and
but
I
think
with
councilor
mishchenko
concurrence.
Perhaps
the
first
meeting
of
the
new
year.
You
could
have
the
answers
for
us
that
work
for.
M
Selector
resurfacing
is:
it
is
a
an
allowance
within
an
overall
resurfacing
program
that
there
it
is,
it
is
in
spot
locations,
it's
not
continuous
sections
from
intersections
of
intersection,
and
sometimes
it's
just
a
lane,
and
what
we
do
is
we
make
an
allocation.
I
can
I
can
ask
mr.
Gong
J
if
he
is
wiebe
manages
on
an
overall
program
basis,
what
sort
of
allocation
of
have
we
attributed
towards
it
when
we're
looking
at
at
all
our
priorities.
J
Thank
You,
chair
I
just
want
to
start
by
recognizing.
You
know
the
work
that
that
we
are
doing
as
a
city
around
pedestrian
and
cycling
infrastructure
and
we
are
moving
forward.
We
have
been
for
the
last
several
years
recognizing
that
you
know
to
build
a
better,
healthier
City.
We
need
people
moving
around
different
ways
and
especially
you
know
healthy
transportation.
J
In
this
budget
we've
got,
you
know,
we've
got
money
and
a
strategic
initiatives
around
you
know
pedestrian
infrastructure
or
cycling
facility
he's
new
money
for
crossing
guards.
A
Queen
Street
renewal,
which
you
know
is,
is
a
big
item
in
the
in
the
downtown,
but
that
will
serve
the
you
know.
Anybody
coming
in
on
brand-new
right
whale
system
that,
were
you,
know,
spending
again
two
billion
dollars
on
you
know.
Providing
those
nice
wide
side
looks
that
we
need
when
people
come
up
out
of
the
the
transit
system
on
the
transit
system.
So
I
do
want
it.
J
J
You
know
redone,
because
you
can't
actually
move
there
for
the
the
potholes
today,
but
but
that
whole
street
will
will
serve
the
city
in
a
way
that
that
it
will
move
as
closer
to
that
that
notice,
but
that
we
want
so
I.
Just
I
just
wanted
to
recognize
that,
and
but
just
a
quick
question
to
to
staff-
and
maybe
it's
one
to
to
my
colleagues.
Even
you
know
we
have
a
new
federal
government
that
is,
you
know,
is
committed
to
spending
money
on
infrastructure
and
and
recognizes
the
importance
of
municipalities
and
I.
J
J
C
G
You
chair
councillor,
we
do
have
a
lot
of
projects
that
are
very
exciting.
We
could
use
funding
but
as
of
today,
as
far
as
I
know,
the
city
has
not
engaged
in
conversation
with
the
federal
government
on
their
infrastructure
program.
We
need
to
know
how
much
it
is.
What
are
some
of
the
parameters
so
that
that
discussion
has
not
taken
place
yet.
O
C
Don't
know
if
anybody
has
anything
mr.
Moser
or
to
add
to
that
or
I
I
think.
The
short
answer
is
we're
ready
to
jump
on
it
when
the
details
are
there.
If
that's
what
you're
asking
as
Miss
Qi
pointed
out,
we
have
a
number
of
projects,
we'd
like
to
get
done
that
we've
done
preliminary
work
on
that
we
could
make
submissions.
We
just
need
to
know
what
the
rules
are
and
and
what
the
dollars
are.
C
J
You
Jerry
I,
agree,
and
you
know
just
because
we
have
heard
that
over
the
last
few
days,
that
you
know
people
do
count
on
the
city,
but
we
do
have
other
levels
of
government
that
we
have
to
be
maybe
a
bit
more
assertive
with
in
terms
of
of
making
sure
that
we
get.
You
know
that
our
communities
get
full
funding
from
from
each
level,
especially
the
other
two
level.
J
We
do
have
things
you
know
we
do
have
projects
like
the
Prince
of
Wales,
but
I'm
using
that
as
an
example,
because
that
was
you
know
that
we're
not
moving
forward
right
now
with
the
Prince
of
Wales
bridge,
because
we
couldn't
get
funding
from
other
episode
government,
but
it
might
be
an
opportunity
so
I'm,
just
not
sure
whether
we
should
sit
back
and
wait
or
we
should
be.
Why.
B
We
just
cps
budget
earlier
this
weekend.
When
we
looked
at
the
user
fees,
they
I
mean
they're
all
going
up
significantly
generally,
but
when
I
noticed
the
transportation
budget
and
it's
it's
dependent
on
sections,
so
there's
a
section
in
public
works
on
page
nine,
there's
a
section
on
shopping
cuts
on
page
twelve
there's
a
section
on
parking
on
page
fourteen
I'd
like
to
understand
where
we're
going
with
user
fees
on
the
transportation
front,
and
what's
our
limitation
legally,
my
my
understanding
is
that
we
have
some
limitations.
We
often
hear
from
residents.
B
I
I
I
B
So
yes,
I'll
go
into
my
specifics
in
that
matter,
so
on
page
12,
then
the
shopping
carts
I
think
we're
all
in
favor
that
it's
a
great
thing
that
we
pick
up
the
cuts
that
has
gone
rogue.
If
you
will
and
then
we
charge
back
to
the
companies.
Why
are
those
going
up
because
one
our
cost
just
a
few
of
staff
time
go
up
year
after
year.
B
B
Is
that
if
we
want
to
encourage
transit
use
and
we're
seeing
that
flatlined
in
areas
where
we
do
have
monopoly
of
the
parking,
if
you
consider
the
parking
structures
and
the
on
Street,
why
wouldn't
we
just
significantly
increase
because
we're
getting
feedback
from
people
that
they're
saying
well
the
fee,
the
monthly
fee
for
the
pass?
If
there
are
two
family
users,
is
the
same
price
or
close
to
the
same
price
as
parking
downtown
for
the
month,
so
we
got
a
like
I'm
trying
to
think
how
we
can,
because
we
all
want
to
encourage
transit
use.
B
So
if
we
want
to
do
that,
we
also
need
to
leverage
other
opportunities.
I
think
that
that
is
one
of
them,
but
it
might
be,
might
be
out
of
context
to
it.
For
today's
discussion
may
I'll
get
back
to
it
at
some
point
in
the
context
of
overtime.
That's
the
other
one
that
surprised
me
so:
traffic
1.2
million
roads,
6.5
million
feet,
1
million
I'd
like
to
hear
going
to
do
specifically
to
address
that
I
understand
you
know.
Last
year
there
was
a
lot
of
snow.
B
We
had
to
bring
in
staff
I
get
that
and
there's
always
exceptional
circumstances.
That's
why
you
have
those
buffers,
but
these
amounts
are
like
close
to
nine
million
dollars
in
overtime.
That's
significant
I,
wonder
if
we
need
to
bring
in
and
I
know
that
there's
a
reference
to
bring
in
an
overnight
crew
for
a
specific
program,
but
I
wonder
if
that
should
be
the
case
that
we
have
more
floating
staff
to
respond
to
some
of
those
challenges
that
we
have.
E
B
Mr.
Schurr
on
that,
specifically
because
it's
such
an
like
when
you
consider
in
deficit
20
million
last
year,
this
department
and
nine
million,
of
which
there's
overtime,
pressures,
that
we
could
ask
a
committee
track
that
you
know
you
know
on
a
regular
basis,
to
see
what
we're
going
about
and
if
staff
can
adjust
those
elements.
I
do
see
that
more
having
more
part-time
staff
available,
as
floats,
would
alleviate
some
of
those
pressures
and
and
continue
to
give
employment
to
our
community.
B
C
I
guess
what
I'd
say
to
that
is
part
of
what
mr.
Wiley
is
proposing
to
deal
with.
The
deficit
is
in
fact
to
to
look
at
the
overtime
and
and
and
find
how
it,
as
he
said,
to
have
the
right
people
at
the
right
time.
I
don't
know
if
the
answer
that
is
is
hiring
more
staff
or
not.
That
comes
with
its
own
cost
benefits
and
what-have-you.
C
So
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
if
that
is
necessarily
the
answer,
but
I
can
tell
you
it's
it's
certainly
on
mr.
Wyles
team's
radar
to
to
look
at
the
rate
at
the
overtime
and
figure
out
how
to
do
it
best.
I,
don't
know
if
we
have
the
capacity
or
not
to
to
share
on
a
I.
Don't
know
a
weekly
monthly,
whatever
basis
the
overtime,
but
I
can
tell
you
for
sure.
That's
something
that
we're
working
on
to
to
to
bring
you
know
into
better
order.
B
Appreciate
that,
just
specifically
to
to
you
comments,
I
mean
I'm
I
think
that
it's
not
it's
not
sound
way
to
just
come
back
next
year
for
2017
budget
to
see
what
there
was
also
over
time.
Our
I'd,
like
our
committee,
to
get
a
regular
traction
I'm,
not
saying
in
monthly.
It
could
be
a
quarterly
but
the
important
if
it
is
a
significant
cost
on
our
side
and
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
we
we
put
in
measures
and
accountability
measures
to
see
a
reduction
and
I'm
only
speaking
from
Parks
and
Rec
experience.
B
K
C
Don't
we,
why
don't
we
do
this
council
for
you
it?
Perhaps
we
can
go
offline
and
and
when
staff
can
sort
of
figure
out
what's
doable
and
not
doable
and
shareable,
it
is
and
to
pull
that
information
together
and
then
we
can
see
if
that's
something
that
we
can
go
forward
with
that
work
with
you,
yeah.
C
A
H
H
This
is
page
number.
There
are
no
numbers,
it's
the
one
talking
about
the
highlights
of
changes
under
build
school
crossing
guard
program,
new
pedestrian
crossing
legislation
and
additional
signal
operation
shifts
the
numbers
that
were
mentioned
during
the
presentation
on
the
new
pedestrian
crossing
legislation
was
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong
was
$75,000,
miss
Jasmin.
It
was
that
the
number
that
you
used,
which.
K
H
E
H
E
H
Thank
you
for
that,
and
coming
back
to
the
next
slide
in
terms
of
capital
highlights
under
public
works
renewal.
You
mentioned
traffic
controller
life
cycle
renewal,
as
well
as
in
the
bottom
undergrowth.
You
mentioned
new
traffic
control
devices
and
both
of
them
have
numbers
attached
to
it.
The
first
one
has
at
1.4
million
and
the
other
one
has
1.6
million.
My
question
is
in
terms
of
new
traffic
control
devices.
H
H
H
H
A
Mr.
chair
counselor,
so
we
look
at
the
warrants
of
interception,
so
if
they
meet
the
warrants,
that's
the
first
threshold
and
then
we
take
a
look
at
with
regards
to
the
cost.
So
if
there's
locations
where
we
don't
have
to
do
well
with
modifications,
for
example,
so
if
there's
pedestrian
signals
or
traffic
signals
were
the
left
turn
lanes
in
fuzhou
are
that
done
that
we
would
most
likely
do
those?
A
H
A
There's
the
two
programs,
when
the
LifeSite
overview
is
for
modifications
to
existing
traffic
signals
so
where
we
have
to
upgrade
traffic
controllers
or
things
like
that,
so
those
are
the
existing
traffic
lights,
the
new
growth
or
locations
where
there
are
no
traffic
signals
and
they
need
the
warrants,
and
that
was
what
I
was
talking
about.
With
regards
to
the
process
we
used
to
do
and
rank
those
locations,
there's
not.
O
N
I
I
O
C
I
O
O
A
So
so
River
matron,
there's
$75,000
associated
that
so
we'll
be
beginning
the
function,
design
next
shift
for
the
intersection
will
so
identify
the
option
and
from
there
I
will
identify
the
cost
and
then
we'll
put
it
in
within
a
few
years
as
to
when
actually
do
you
detail,
design
and
construction.
So
can't
give
you
a
timeline
at
this
point.
There
is
a
you
following
those
two
there's
a
few
intersections
below
the
cutoff
line,
so
we
have
to
try
to
prioritize
all
those
and
try
to
make
it
work
within
the
envelope
that
were
given
so.
O
A
Is
you
just
identified
that
those
are
locations
that
meet
the
warrants,
and
then
we
try
to
work
to
get
these
done
as
soon
as
possible,
based
on
the
funding
that's
available?
As
for
the
chapman
mills
that
one
there
there's
a
husband
identified
with
funding
for
next
year,
so
we'll
bring
that
up
again.
The
following.
A
N
Chair
under
our
background
for
the
intersection
control
measures
program-
yes,
Jacque,
Bell
and
golf-links-
is
one
of
the
additional
intersections.
That's
above
the
warrant
threshold,
but
as
mentioned
by
calling,
the
dollar
amounts
that
we
have
we're
only
doing
the
one
Mitch
Owens
and
manitech.
So
there
is
no
budget
assigned
to
that
intersection
at
this
time.
Okay,.
O
So
I
guess
you
know
the
takeaway
for
me
here
is
of
the
timelines
here
that
we
have
the
y
ou
sees
and
the
documents
are
bit
misleading.
In
terms
of
you
know,
we
have
an
expectation
or
we
have
a
time
line
there,
but
we
don't
actually
have
the
money
for
it.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
that
can
be
done
with
a
perhaps
a
caption
or
a
disclaimer
at
the
end,
to
explain
that
in
the
budget
in
terms
of
the
timelines
we're
looking
at
versus
actually
having
the
the
dollars
to
do
it.
G
K
C
M
A
O
Noise
I'll
take
that
offline,
I.
Think
there's
noise
we'll
talk
about
that
offline
I
want
to
pick
up
on
what
councillor
McKinney
was
speaking
about
earlier
in
terms
of
opportunities,
for
example
with
for
collaboration
with
the
federal
and
provincial
government.
I
know
our
chair
and
and
the
mayor
have
already
had
discussions
with
mps
and
ministers,
and
I
know
the
local
MP
expressed
interest
in
what
can
we
do
or
work
together
on
infrastructure
projects?
O
If
there
is
an
opportunity-
and
we
know,
there's
an
opportunity
for
many
stimulus
projects
or
funding
over
the
next
few
years?
Is
the
city
able
to
contribute
or
do
anything
move
things
up
from
things
that
are
in
phase
two?
For
example,
the
transportation
master
plan,
like
you
know,
widening
zuv
roads
and
that
sort
of
thing
are
we
able
to
collaborate
with
them?
Do
we
have
dollars
to
do
that
or
how
would
that
look
like.
N
Mr.
chair,
in
terms
of
a
comment
related
to
the
TMP,
clearly,
that's
our
document
that
prioritizes
and
coordinates
the
improvements
we
want
to
make
over
the
years.
Obviously,
we'll
have
to
wait
and
see,
but
a
significant
new
input,
new
dollars
in
a
directed
capacity
from
the
federal
government.
Obviously,
it's
something
we'll
have
to
take
into
account
and
does
that
have
any
impact
on
an
ability
to
coordinate
what
we're
hoping
to
do
as
a
city
and
what
may
come
to
the
table
down
the
road,
but
we're
just
not
at
that
point.
Right
now,.
K
O
C
C
K
C
C
G
G
I
G
A
N
Certainly,
at
the
time
of
the
planning
and
developing
it
out,
we
acquire
the
funds
as
per
the
number
of
units,
etc,
that
are
part
of
that
development.
But
the
performance
of
an
intersection
can
change
over
time,
not
directly
related
to
what
happened.
With
the
approved
plan
of
subdivision,
for
example,
there
could
be
external
factors
that
change
traffic
patterns
etc
and
over
time
different
intersections,
go
up
and
down
in
the
volumes
that
did
they
experience
so.
G
I
think
we
have
an
issue
with
highway
levee
development
charges
for
this
purpose
and
I,
recall
and
Gwaine
will
recall
this
too.
We
had
one
on
West
Street
with
that
Leicester
Road
at
Deerfield,
Village
and
the
developer
came
in
and
it
was
at
ninety
seven
percent
of
the
warrant
or
something
like
that
and
their
argument
wise.
It's
not
a
hundred
percent
of
the
right,
so
we
don't
have
to
pay
for
it
and
my
view
is:
you
are
heavily
contributing
to
the
warrant
and
if
it
doesn't
get
to
the
hundred
percent,
you
don't
have
to
pay.
B
Miss
America's
no
I'll
follow
up
on
my
previous
question,
which
was
the
the
overtime
cost
so
I'm
wondering
from
a
finance
perspective.
If
there's
a
better
way
to
treat
track
over
time.
I
know
we
were
talking
about
the
memo
I,
that's
a
bit
of
a
sign
of
spending
more
like
a
day-to-day.
How
do
we
track
these
additional
costs
that
are
coming
in?
Are
they
dealt
with
in
the
department
is
Finance,
seeing
that
firsthand.
I
Through
a
chair,
so
we
do
look
at
the
overtime
on
a
regular
basis.
Most
of
our
kind
that
mostly
overtime
that
we
do
incur
in
public
works
is
obviously
related
to
the
winter
snow
events.
So
as
we
go
through
each
event,
we
do
run
reports
on
the
base
of
the
event
started.
The
event
the
time
required
to
clean
up
the
event
and
the
activities
engaged
in
that
event.
So
we
do
report
on
that
regular
on
a
monthly
basis,
and
it's
also
track
sometimes
on
a
weekly
basis,
depending
on
the
magnitude
of
the
event.
B
I
A
B
On
page
33
I'm,
following
on
councillor
Dean's
question
is
sort
of
I'm
concerned
on
the
fleet
front,
specifically
to
the
section
maintain
services
versus
growth
and
I'd
like
to
hear
how
we
decide,
which
one
is
an
increase
in
to
maintain
the
services
that
are
expected.
There's
additional
funds,
or
one
is
just
by
sheer
of
we-
have
more
roads,
more
more
facilities,
more
residents,
so
that
fits
into
it
I'm
unclear
about
which
one
triggers
an
increase
in
how
that's
done.
If
it's,
because
to
me,
the
growth
out,
the
growth
section
is
quite
low.
B
Like
what's
the
what's
the
trigger
point
like?
How
do
you
know
every
thousand
residents,
you
need
a
new
PI
I,
don't
know
I'm
inventing
another
way
to
be
clear,
but
after
a
thousand
residents
or
an
additional,
you
need
this
element
and
that
would
trigger
a
growth
pressure.
What's
that
calculation
and
how
has
that
arrived.
B
Correct
me
when
I'm
wrong,
that,
if
it
requires
you
new
employees
or
new
equipment
to
maintain
the
service
levels
that
could
be
due
to
growth
that
you're
not
capturing
in
undergrowth
you're
capturing
on
there
there's
new
pressures
to
for
us
to
deliver
that
same
level
of
service
like
that.
Ryan
is
very
fine.
It
is
it
because
there's
new
pressures
or
because
the
standards
are
changing,
but
where
I'm
getting
to
is
that
the
source
of
these
funds
are,
in
theory,
different
right.
B
E
K
B
K
A
N
A
Addition
to
the
talks
is
basically
all
packs,
because
the
assessment
is
really
the
growth
in
your
households
right:
increased
taxation
from
growth
in
households.
The
tax
increases
based
on
what
council
has
directed
the
city
to
do
at
a
1.75
percent
increase.
The
growth
pressures
are
identified
by
each
department
and
they
balance
the
growth
and
they're
maintained
pressures
to
meet
the
tax
targets
set
by
council
I.
B
On
page
26,
so
I
have
three
more
questions.
If
colleagues
are
getting
bored
here
so
on
page
26
on
the
feed
front,
I'd
like
to
hear
from
you
on
when
we
decide
to
rent
versus
own,
what's
the
logic
between
the
type
of
equipment
that
we
we
purchase
or
that
we
rent
or
how
do
we
try
to
save
costs
and
abrogates
on
a
general
term.
B
Do
we
assume
this
equipment
is
fully
used,
but
is
there
is
there
like
cliffs
and
stuff
like
that,
where
we
have
many
lifts
across
different
departments
and
so
on?
How
is
that
prop?
How
is
that
truck?
Because
I
know
that
in
the
past
we
went
to
that
and
we
ended
up
purchasing
some
because
they
they
just
became
such
a
building.
E
A
B

E
A
Cazadores
Thank
You
mr.
chef,
just
a
few
questions.
I
won't
be
as
long
as
my
colleague
but
I
just
want
to
be
circle
back
to
to
my
concern
and
construct
a
Koosh
about
the
discussion
of
the
we're
ready
for
that,
and
if
there
is
extra
funding
because
from
my
understanding
and
this
conversation
is
coming
because
of
the
relevance
hold
over
the
election
last
election,
that
is
going
to
be
funding
coming
up
and
I
just
want
to
add
my
voice
to
them.
A
C
Can
I
can
tell
you
that,
internally
with
senior
staff
we've
had
discussions
and
as
mr.
Moser
and
and
Miss
Qi
pointed
out,
we
have
a
number
of
projects
in
the
pipe
that
either
the
initial
planning
that's
been
done
or
the
EAA
is
underway.
Because
many
of
these
programs,
you
have
to
come
to
Road
with
a
shovel,
ready
or
close
to
shovel
ready
project.
So
there
are
projects
in
the
queue
should
be
opportunity
to
your
eyes
and
we're
focusing
on
that,
because
that's
something
we
can
wrap
our
heads
around
at
this
point.
C
We
don't
know
what
the
rules
are
going
to
be
yet
the
new
proposal,
and
as
soon
as
we
do
know,
but
we
do
know,
generally
speaking,
you
have
to
have
a
project,
that's
ready
to
go.
So
that's
what
staff
resources
are
focused
on
now
making
sure
we
had
some
of
those
projects
in
the
queue
and
then,
when
we
find
out
the
rears
about
when
you
submit
how
you
submit
how
much
money
you
have
to
put
up
all
those
sorts
of
things.
C
A
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I
appreciate
it
and
it's
like
it's
it's
very
important
for
us
as
a
committee
that
we
understand
and
know
what's
going
on
so
I
understand.
What
are
you
trying
to
say,
but
also
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
part
of
this
process?
The
other
thing
is:
I
have
I
wanna
react
back
and
councillor
flurry
was
talking
about
I.
E
A
J
C
H
Chair
the
it
is
in
terms
of
looking
at
a
development
charge
really,
but
we're
looking
at
at
the
moment
is
just
being
able
to
increase
the
development
charge
for
the
transit
council's
priority
in
terms
of
our
growth
in
in
transportation
and
balancing
that
off
with
reductions
in
in
other
areas.
So
that's
what
we're
working
toward
to
bring
forward
no
later
than
June
of
17,
so
the
we
just
focusing
on
that
we're
not
looking
at
other
issues
in
terms
of
the
intersection
program.
It's
you
know
there
are
rules
under
the
Act.
H
J
Ok,
thank
you
for
that,
but
I
just
wonder
how
that
or
what
we
are
doing
as
a
city.
What
we're
thinking
about
as
a
city
in
terms
of
what
a
councillor
flurry
was
referring
to
that
were
not
always
covering
our
real
growth
costs
and
because
we
see
that
you
know,
as
we
move
forward
in
with
our
budgets,
that
that
the
real
cost
of
growth
is
not
always
always
captured
in
what
we're.
What
we're
charging.
C
H
Certainly,
the
aim
is
pay
for
growth
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
do
so,
I
mean
even
with
the
roads
DC,
which
is
mostly
there
90
or
95
percent
colorable.
The
city
still
has
to
find
is
far
to
10%
to
be
able
to
do
our
contribution
to
to
projects.
So
it's
it's
something
that
we
we
have
certain
rights
under
Planning
Act
to
be
able
to
collect
fees
at
settling
stages,
but
a
lot
of
the
improvements
to
existing
development
falls
outside
of
the
purview
of
the
development
charges
act.

Essentially,
where
I'm
getting
out
with
this,
is
you
know
when
and
why
are
we
using
it
or
we
quite
clear
on
those
criteria
and
I
know
in
the
early
days
it
was
very
much
a
pilot
experimental
with
it,
and
the
use
of
thermoplastic
was
to
see
if
it
would
last
longer.
Is
that
proving
to
be
the
case?
Is
there
an
alternative
to
that
that
when
you
combine
both
the
material
costs
and
labour,
it
could
done
more
cheaply,
and
then
the
third
part
of
it
is?
F
Are
we
coordinating
with
with
the
NCC
and
possibly
even
the
city
of
Gatineau,
so
that
as
people
cycle
or
an
N
Drive,
because
this
is
about
clarity
for
people,
they
know
when
they
see
a
green
paint,
what
it
means
and
that
they
get
a
uniform
look
be
great
if
we
could
do
it
on
both
sides
of
the
of
the
border
and
whether
we're
having
those
conversations.
Thank
you
for.
