A
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
Speaker
I
would
actually
just
request
to
vary
the
order
paper
and
that
would
be
to
make
item
the
members
item
that
I
just
introduced
around
carb
free
floating
car
share
to
do
that
item
directly
after
the
other
public
works
items
and
I.
Do
that
because
I
understand
our
general
manager,
transportation
may
or
may
not
be
able
to
be
here
and
I
wouldn't
want
that
to
wait
until
the
very
end.
If
that's
all
right,
yeah.
A
C
Thank
You
speaker
I,
just
rise
in
opposition
to
the
motion
place
by
councillor
Fletcher.
This
item
was
discussed
and
debated
at
committee.
The
finding
of
the
committee
was
to
take
out
the
dollars
from
this
particular
report,
with
a
very
simple
request
that
those
dollars
be
otherwise
allocated
to
the
street
art
program.
So
with
that
same
money
that
was
there,
it
may
as
well
paint
utility
boxes
are
created.
Mural
and
the
point
that
I
made
when
I
made
this
statement
at
committee
was.
C
The
report
itself
shows
that
there
is
very
little
durable
value
to
these
murals
they're
gone
within
a
number
of
months.
They
didn't
provide
any
traffic
calming
effects
as
what
was
originally
thought
or
hoped
out
of
them,
and
all
of
us
knew
because
of
our
understanding
involvement
in
this
process
that
it's
a
rather
complex
one.
It's
a
fairly
large
undertaking
the
groups
do
commit
to.
They
do
a
great
job.
They
come
together.
They
create
a
process,
they
create
an
artwork,
they
go
through
community
consultation.
C
They
organize
an
event
on
this
and
one
way
or
another
$500
isn't
going
to
really
change
the
outcome
of
those
events
that
are
planned
and
this
money
is
just
better
spent
in
other
places
in
the
program-
and
you
know
I
hope,
you'll
just
sustain
the
committee
recommendations,
because
I
thought
they
were
thoughtfully
placed
because
we
do
have
some
experience
in
this
file.
Thank
You.
D
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker
is
I.
Do
support
the
recommendation
from
Council
Fletcher
I
think
the
recommendation
is
very
modest
and
in
relation
to
what's
happening
out
there
and
I'm
very
delighted
and
proud,
at
the
same
time,
to
say
that
I
play
a
key
role
in
terms
of
implementing
the
graffiti
management
plan
and
Syria
Tron,
as
well
as
I'm,
very
delighted
that
I
play
a
role
in
implementing
the
pilot
project
as
it
relates
to
the
world
murals
something
new,
something
that
really
embraces
the
arts
community
out
there.
D
It's
during
the
summer
months,
for
example,
these
programs
have
started
in
my
neighborhood
in
were
17
during
the
summer
months
during
the
street
parties,
and
it
was
amazing
to
see
how
many
people,
how
many
hundreds
of
children
and
parents,
friends
neighbors
politicians
they
came
together
to
help
out
with
painting
the
murals
and
whatever
else
something
new.
Something
exciting.
D
Once
again,
that
brought
Paul
was
something
something
new
innovative
ideas
is
somehow
it
tells
our
neighborhoods
story
and
connect
with
the
neighborhood
beautification
programs
and
also
attracts
the
private
and
the
public
sector
when
it
comes
to
to
be
part
of
the
order
or
the
process.
So
all
of
that
has
been
a
great
thing
so
painting
these
minerals
on
the
roads
and
I
recall
that
when
the
pilot
project
came
to
this
city
council,
madam
Speaker,
he
could
I
can
I
can
remember.
D
A
D
Painting
these
murals
on
streets,
it
was
so
exciting,
especially
during
summer
months,
when
we
had
these
three
parties
that
people
were
literally
and
waiting
for
that
to
happen
just
go
out.
There
start
painting
it
and
all
of
a
sign
to
create
something
beautiful
that
beautify
our
neighborhoods
a
little
cost
at
very
little
cost.
When
the
panel
project
came
to
this
council,
there
was
all
that
fear
mongering
at
one
point:
what
happen
all
the
pollution?
That's
going
to
create
the
assertive
issues
and
whatever
else
to
the
contrary.
D
Actually,
what
happened
with
it
is
it's
something
that
it
really
creates
beauty
within
those
streets.
It
slows
down
the
traffic
when
people
are
just
driving
by
they
start
looking
at
it
and
it's
a
great
great
and
a
deterrent
against
spilling
and
at
the
end
it
connects
people
and
it
creates
viewing
anything.
Our
neighborhoods
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
I
wholeheartedly
support.
The
motion
by
council,
Fletcher
and
I
think
this
is
one
step
closer
in
terms
of
working
together
with
our
neighbors,
our
children,
our
arts
community.
Although
that's
great
for
the
city,
thank
you.
If.
A
A
A
F
F
A
C
A
H
C
I
I
would
be
amazed
at
what
new
information
would
come
after
you
know
a
year
or
two
of
extensive
policy
analysis
to
finally
get
a
report
here
that
we
debated
for
hours
to
try
to
figure
out
a
solution
that
worked
that
balanced
the
needs
of
the
residents
in
the
neighborhood
and
their
need
to
park
and
that
of
of
supporting
the
the
car
share
industry
and
now
because
a
particular
company
is
leaving
the
city.
We're
gonna,
reopen
the
debate.
I
I'm,
sorry
about
a
speaker,
I,
just
I.
Don't
support
this
I.
A
A
J
Madam
chair
I'll
be
very
quick
to
transportation
staff
and
I'm
gonna
ask
Ashley
Curtis
this
question
specifically
immediately
after
our
very
troubled
Public
Works
meeting,
where
we
had
very
serious
quorum
issues.
In
fact,
we
couldn't
even
convene
till
the
afternoon
and
even
then
we
had
constant
threats
of
losing
quorum
when
we
were
dealing
with
very
important
things.
J
J
After
that
meeting,
then
you
came
to
my
office
I
think
last
week
to
also
again
talk
about
how
we
make
sure
we
get
this
moratorium
piece
addressed
for
something
that
the
mayor,
I
know.
It's
very,
very
big
supporter
of
is
the
automated
speed
enforcement
etc.
So
we
missed
this
piece
of
pubic
and-
and
we
talked
about
making
sure
that
council
today,
that
we
we
make
sure
it's
part
of
the
motions,
that's.
L
J
L
L
And
we
wanted
to
do
that
at
those
community
safety
zones.
And
we
are
certainly
happy.
We've
mapped
sort
of
our
proposal
for
where
those
community
safety
zones
would
be
located,
and
so
we're
hopeful
that
council
will
encourage
us
to
come
back
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
At
the
June
peewit
meeting,
okay.
K
You,
madam
Speaker,
it
could
be
a
quick
item,
but
this
is
really
serious.
This
is
a
very
important
topic
and
I
am
glad
it's
before
us
and
I
do
apologize,
I
wasn't
able
to
get
to
public
works
meeting
I
had
wanted
to
so.
Can
you
just
walk
me
through
if
either
I
notice
or
I
have
a
resident
come
to
me
and
say
they
had
concerns
of
traffic
on
a
street
whether
it's
a
school
zone
or
not
a
school
zone
am
I
correct.
K
That
I
need
to
get
a
petition
from
X
number
of
residents
of
that
street.
That
petition
goes
to
transportation
transportation,
then.
Does
it
ask
for
traffic
study?
The
traffic
study
results
then
have
to
be
analyzed.
That
analyzed
report
then
comes
to
community
council,
where
community
council
decides
whether
they
put
in
traffic
calming
or
safety
there's
a
warrant
process
involved.
Two
questions:
how
long
a
process
is
that
and
is
part
of
what
you're
looking
at
trying
to
review
the
warrant
process?
It's
a
sort
of
a
double-ended
question.
L
K
L
Through
you,
yes,
we
are,
and
we
are.
We
did
a
preliminary
review
of
the
warrants,
including
the
traffic
warrants
that
earlier
this
year
and
wanted
to
apply
a
much
more
stringent
vision,
zero
lens
to
those
warrants,
and
so
I've
sent
my
staff
back
to
do
some
additional
work
on
those
warrants,
and
so
they
will
not
be
coming
back
as
a
full
package
to
Council
until
the
first
quarter
of
2019
and
vision.
K
Zero
doesn't
just
qualify
within
school
zones.
Is
that
correct?
That
is
correct.
So,
for
instance,
I
have
an
intersection
where
the
vehicles
are
speeding.
Food
making
right
turns
when
it's
they
shouldn't
be,
or
it's
not
safe
for
pedestrians,
when
cars
are
making
right
turns.
I
can
send
that
to
Roger
and
your
department
and
ask
you
to
look
at
that
under
vision,
zero
as
well.
Yes,.
L
K
L
Down
to
so,
we
were
actually
responding
to
a
request
from
Cancer
Care
Janice
and
the
mayor
to
look
at
how
we
can
streamline
the
traffic
calming
process.
We
came
back
with
some
recommendations
and
we're
asked
to
go
back
to
do
a
little
bit
more
analysis.
But,
yes,
the
goal
is
to
streamline
that
process
and
be
able
to
apply
a
package
of
traffic.
Calming
improvements
where
appropriate
in
in
school
zones
was
what
we
started
with,
because
we
figured
we
could
have
that
conversation
around
school
zones
and
vision
zero
at
this
time.
Thank.
L
L
Through
you,
madam
speaker,
we
that's
what
we
were
asked
to
come
back
and
do
was
to
look
at
how
we
could
streamline
that
process,
and
we
had
made
some
recommendations
that
are
in
the
original
report,
including
minimizing
either
the
petition
or
the
poll.
Reducing
the
time
frames,
taking
down
the
percentage
of
positive
responses
to
polling
a
number
of
items,
and
we
we
believe
we
have
a
little
bit
more
more
work
to
do
in
order
to
come
back
with
a
more
fulsome
report
to
Council
on
a
revised
process
for
traffic
on.
If.
L
N
N
N
L
L
K
Through
the
speaker,
so
traffic-calming
proposal
is
initiated.
We
do
our
Wang
review.
We
develop
some
proposals.
We
then
bring
a
report
to
Community
Council.
If
Community
Council
liked
those
proposals,
we
then
have
to
go
out
or
clerk's
then
have
to
go
out
and
do
a
poll
that
poll
has
to
have
a
response
rate
of
50%
plus
one
and
then
of
those
respondents.
60%
need
to
be
in
favor
of
it.
For
that
then,
to
move
forward
and.
N
Correct
so
we
can
get
a
clear,
clear
answer
in
this,
because
this
is
going
to
hit
us
a
couple
of
days
we're
a
little
boy
the
died,
the
community
went
out,
got
signatures
from
every
single
house,
they're
expecting
that
we're
going
to
be
back
on
June
16th
and
they
will
be
getting
speed.
Humps.
Are
you
telling
me
that
we
have
to
do
a
poll
am
I
correct
in
this.
L
N
K
E
N
G
N
L
N
A
But
but
counselor,
no,
no
I
know
we're
gonna
get
clarification,
but
just
for
also
for
clarification
to
you
is
that
if
they're
gonna
put
speed
humps
on
the
street,
it
doesn't
happen
in
one
month
like
it
takes
months
to
put
speed
humps
on
the
street,
sometimes
because
they
have
to
hire
a
contractor.
I've
been
waiting
two
years
for
speed
hump,
so
you
definitely
won't
get
it
for
next
month.
So
let's
get
the
clerk.
Let's
get
the
clerk
to
respond
to
the
to
the
pole.
F
L
Our
understanding
of
that
policy
is
that
the
currently
now
there
is
a
poll
required
once
council
makes
that
approval
and
one
of
the
recommendations
we
made
in
our
in
our
paper
here
that
we're
discussing
right
now
is
to
give
council
the
authority
to
waive
that
polling
requirement.
But
that
is
not
the
current
policy.
Thank
you.
O
L
O
L
O
K
L
O
L
O
L
O
L
L
O
Okay,
so
that's
my
next
question.
You
know
where
I'm
going
so
change,
simply
changing
the
speed
limit
and
I'll
even
I'll
even
concede
the
point
that
speeds
an
issue
I,
don't
think
it's
the
biggest
issue.
I
think
there
are
other
issues
and
I
think
we're
a
little
too
focused
on
one
issue.
But
that
being
said,
if
what
would,
if
simply
changing
the
speed
limit,
doesn't
necessarily
change
behavior,
would
you
agree
as.
O
Q
P
O
O
L
O
L
You
I
think
the
our
general
perspective
on
vision,
zero
is
we
don't
want
to
wait
for
fatality
or
tragedy
to
happen,
and
we
know
that
speed
has
an
impact.
We
know
that
people's
behavior
around
school
zones,
and
also
probably
to
your
point,
may
be
not
asked
yet,
but
around
seniors,
where
we
really
see
the
most
significant
impact
on
seniors
is
that
there
are
unpredictable
behaviors.
Perhaps
people
dropping
off
and
picking
up,
especially
in
school
zones
and.
J
O
I
guess
but
my
actual
point
and
Oski,
if
you
agree
with
this,
is
that
simply
enforcing
in
a
school
zone?
Absolutely
we
want
to
be
proactive,
but
in
terms
of
the
overall
picture
and
the
quote-unquote
vision
zero,
it's
going
to
have
negligible
effect.
If
we
don't
create
a
number
community
safety
zones,
the.
L
Goal
of
vision,
zero
is
to
try
to
get
our
number
of
people
impacted
by
roadway
impacts
to
zero,
and
so
we
have
to
be
planning
not
only
for
the
locate
the
numbers
that
we
have
today,
but
also
to
ensure
that
we
can
prevent
any
impacts
from
happening
in
the
future.
School
zones
are
locations,
senior
zones
are
location
and
certainly
higher
speed
corridors
are
our
location
as
well.
Wouldn't.
L
O
O
L
M
O
R
R
So
I'm
trying
to
understand
2,
4,
&
6,
were
referred
to
you
and
1
3
&
5
were
referred
to
you
Breck
the
original
recommendations,
2
4,
&
6,
were
referred
back
to
you
and
that
has
to
do
with
lifting
the
moratorium
delegating
Authority
round
speed
changes,
restrictions,
etc
in
a
community
safety
zone.
To
you
and
the
third
was
these
four
temporary
positions.
They
were
all
referred
back,
but
I
gather
from
what
I
heard
from
the
chair.
She
intends
to
put
them
back
in
through.
L
R
L
K
Through
the
speaker,
so
what
was
originally
proposed
was
twofold.
Really,
it
was
a
delegation
to
the
general
manager
of
Transportation
to
bring
forward
traffic
calming
measures
and
bring
those
bills
directly
to
community
council,
so
just
being
forward
proposals
which
could
then
be
endorsed
a
community
council
and
then
the
second
component
was
to
give
community
council
the
ability
to
waive
if
they
so
choose
so
chose
to
waive
the
petition
and
polling
requirements
related
to
traffic
calming
and
then
okay.
K
R
L
H
E
E
L
Through
you,
I,
don't
believe
there
has
been
I
know
in
part.
Ttc
can
get
concerned
about
addition
of
additional
traffic
signals
and
so
any
proposals
we
would
move
forward.
We
would
certainly
make
in
consultation
with
them
we're
also
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
align
bus
stops
in
crossing
areas
so
that
we
can
ensure
that
we
can
not
impact
travel,
speed
and
reliability
and
still
improve
pedestrian
safety.
So.
L
H
C
L
Through
you
polling
is
included,
I
believe
in
a
number
of
processes
in
the
city,
I've
traffic
calming
proposals
tend
to
be
very
important
to
some
people
and
not
exciting
to
others,
and
so
polling.
I
believe
is
a
way
that
we
can
get
a
more
fulsome
review
of
those
proposals
and
get
more
feedback
from
the
broader
community
because
they
do
tend
to
impact,
although
they
impact
certainly
the
people
that
are
directly
on
those
Road.
They
they
impact
the
broader
community
as
well.
So.
C
However,
the
city
of
Cerrano
act
2006
changed
the
onus
on
that
and
we
ended
up
with
a
system
of
polling
as
one
of
the
gates
pursuant
to
those
acts
and
pursuant
to
our
duty
to
consult,
to
go
out
and
and
consult
with
the
people.
So
what
I
be
correct
in
that
assert
aja
that
there's
some
there's
some
reason
that
we've
got
polling
in
there.
It's
not
a
random
occurrence,
that's
correct!
It's
in
support
of
the
law.
That's
correct,
I
know!
Is
there
any
sense
why
it's
60
percent.
L
C
50%
is
the
response,
and
then
it
requires
a
sixty
percent
rate
on
that.
Would
it
be
fair
to
say
that,
because
we
harmonize
polling
with
the
methodology
used
across
Toronto,
which
means
that
it's
not
only
the
eligible
household,
but
it's
each
registered
voter
in
the
household,
because
we've
got
the
lists
that
we
count
both
of
those
you
could
be
two
votes
for
a
house.
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
higher
test
than
just
half
it's
now
60%,
because
sometimes
you
get
two
votes
per
house.
Yes,.
L
C
Under
the
proposal
we're
looking
at
reducing
the
response
rate
in
50%
to
25%,
and
then
of
that
it
has
to
be
a
60%
of
25,
so
on
a
street
with
a
hundred
houses.
If
we
got
back
15
votes
that
were
supportive
of
this,
that's
enough
to
pass
so
15
votes
out
of
a
hundred
houses
is
our
test.
Is
our
threshold
with.
C
C
But
III,
as
you
can
see
through
the
question,
you
want
to
establish
that
there's
some
methodology
to
the
reason
that
we
have
the
polling
x'
and
that
there
there
are
numbers
for
a
reason.
Okay,
I
just
want
to
go
back
to
the
committee
recommendations,
would
I
be
correct
in
understanding
that
either
through
an
administrative
inquiry
or
the
report
itself,
we
are
aware,
as
a
council,
that
there
are
two
reports
coming
that
are
due.
One
of
them
is
going
to
be
on
community
safety
zones.
C
Where
that
we're
going
to
reveal
I,
don't
know
700
of
them
in
the
city.
If
I
got
that
number
right
through
754
I,
believe
it
and
we're
gonna
learn
what
a
community
safety
zone
is
by
definition,
and
you
know
where
it
goes
and
why
you
use
it
and
how
does
it
work
with
a
school
safety
zone?
Is
that
correct?
So
that's
one
report,
that's
coming
in
June,
because
that's
what
the
report
here
says.
Yes,.
C
And
so
three
of
the
recommendations
in
the
report
pertain
to
community
safety
zones,
so
we
don't
actually
understand
everything
we're
getting
into
we're.
Gonna
learn
more
about
it
next
month.
So
there
was
some
rationale
to
the
committee's
deferral
of
these
matters
to
that
report,
so
that
would
come
as
a
package
through.
L
C
As
the
chair
said,
we're
gonna
lift
them
more
time,
cuz
that
has
to
do
with
the
automated
enforcement
and
the
last
is,
we
know,
there's
a
report
coming
because
you
said
it
earlier
on
traffic
on
traffic
warrants,
so
we're
going
to
consider
that
as
a
package
and
three
of
these
particular
recommendations
pertain
to
traffic
warrants.
So
it
would
be
logical
to
actually
hear
these
things
together
and
there's
a
reason
to
the
way
that
the
committee
recommendations
were
put
forward
correct.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
Fletcher,
yes,
just
to
the
general
manager,
you
had
brought
in
a
number
of
recommendations
to
the
committee
where
you
had
sought
delegated
authority,
and
there
became
an
issue.
I
understand
what
the
clerk
that
the
whole
number
of
bylaws
would
need
to
be
changed
in
order
to
have
that
would
I
be
right
through.
L
G
But
in
seeking
delegated
authority
what
you,
what
you're,
really
seeking
is
for
council
to
mandate
you
to
move
more
swiftly
to
be
more
proactive
to
get
in
at
the
roads
and
say
this
is
an
unsafe
condition.
We've
discovered
this
and
bring
it
forward
to
council
members
to
say
we're,
suggesting
we're
recommending
you
make
changes
here,
based
on
our
expertise
as
traffic
planners
three.
G
L
G
G
Part
of
those
things
that
have
been
listed,
there's
so
many
things
that
can
happen
a
bump
out
traffic
calming
a
speed
hump.
Generally.
All
of
these
things,
I
think
generally
I
would
be
correct
to
say
that
the
culture
out
this
city
has
been
to
wait
for
a
community
to
ask
or
wait
for
a
councillor
to
ask
for
those
kinds
of
things
to
happen
so
engaged
community
members
are
going
and
saying.
Oh,
we
think
this
is
good
to
have
a
bump
out
here
and
then
it
gets
studied,
and
then
it
goes
in.
G
All
of
your
great
staff
that
are
currently
studying,
speed,
humps
and
going
out
and
waiting
for
the
polling
and
chasing
reports
and
bringing
those
reports
and
writing
them
up
to
community
council
or
spending
considerable
number
of
hours
in
that
cumbersome
process
over
16
months,
I
think
so
I've
witnessed
that.
Would
you
agree
with
that
observation?
I
would
absolutely
agree
with
that
answer.
Would
you
rather
have
them
out
looking
how
to
be
proactive
to
make
our
streets
safer
through.
L
You
yes,
I
want
to
say
that
they
do
that
as
well.
I
believe
that
with
transportation
is
a
network
and
I
know,
councillor
Holliday
has
talked
about
this
before
the
impacts
in
one
location
tend
to
have
an
impact
on
the
entire
community.
So
the
ability
to
look
at
areas
as
a
network
really
gives
us
much
more
ability
to
solve
broader
problems
for
the
community
and.
G
G
L
G
L
L
A
J
Thank
you
very
much.
As
you
can
see,
this
is
a
very
complex
issue
and
that's
why
even
at
Public
Works
and
Infrastructure
Committee-
and
we
were
you
know,
as
I
said
we
were
struggling
with
quorum.
You
have
emotion,
I
do
and
it
has
been
pre
circulated.
Okay,
so
thank
you,
madam
Speaker,
for
recognizing
that
this
is
a
very
complicated
issue
and
it
hits
real
it
really
at
the
heart
of
local
issues
in
our
neighborhoods
and
our
communities,
and
that's
why
we
have
to
tread
very
carefully
and
thoughtfully
as
we
go
through
this
process.
J
J
That
again,
many
of
us
are
very
passionate
about
and
have
been
fighting
for
for
a
long
time-
and
it's
been,
you
know
in
the
works
with
the
province
of
Ontario
and
sometimes
there's
been
a
bit
of
heel
dragging
but
finally
we're
at
a
place
where
we
can
pilot
this.
So
lifting
the
moratorium
is
the
first
item
on
my
list
of
motions.
The
second
one
is
very
exciting
and
I
refer
to
this.
During
my
questions
to
the
general
manager
is
at
the
next
P
wick
meeting.
J
We
are
going
to
actually
have
a
full
full
report,
comprehensive
report
on
areas
to
be
designated
as
community
safety
zones.
So
a
lot
of
people
don't
really
even
fully
understand
what
those
are.
So
it's,
basically
the
school
zone
and
the
neighboring
streets
around
the
school
zones
to
make
sure
kids
can
get
to
school
safely,
and
so
at
this
meeting
forthcoming,
we'll
be
defining
what
they
are
and
where
they
will
be
mapped
and
designating
pilot
locations.
So
again
in
the
report
before
you,
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
detail
around.
J
J
Number
four
is
really
basically
to
deal
with
the
I
got
it
right:
the
traffic
wardens,
no
I,
don't
have
it
right.
What's
number
four
here
it
is.
Okay,
oh
did
I
skip
three
I
skip
three
on
my
apologies,
so
number
three
would
be
to
really
discard
of
the
initial
petition.
So
I
think
there
was
some
confusion
on
the
floor
and
the
confusion
was
related
to
how
many
petitions
are
there,
and
so
the
the
how
it
works
is
the
community
has
to
conduct
a
petition.
J
Then
it
goes
to
to
stop
to
North
York
Community
Council,
and
if
it's
approved
there
for
speed,
humps
or
speed
bumps
whatever
you
want
to
call
them,
then
it
goes
to
an
official
poll
conducted
by
the
clerk's
office.
Am
I,
correct,
I,
see
head
shaking
so
I'm
correct.
So
my
understanding
of
this
item
is
that
that
would
discard
with
the
that
first
step.
That
is
a
very
cumbersome
and
adds
time
to
the
to
the
whole
thing.
J
So
it's
a
it's
very,
very
complicated,
and
so
therefore
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
lay
that
out
for
you
but
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
if
you're
confused
by
any
of
this,
and
if
you
are
right
rightfully
so,
because
it
is
confusing,
but
what
we
are
doing
is
really
trying
to
fast
track
and
streamline
the
process.
There
is
this
report
coming
in
June,
coupled
with
that
there's
also
a
warrants
report.
That's
forthcoming,
that
a
lot
of
this
will
be
addressed
within
that
warrants
report
as
well.
A
J
J
So
that's
a
great
question,
so
add
Public
Works
an
infrastructure
committee.
We
actually
were
actually
interested
in
the
hold
context,
and
so
we
had
actually
referred
some
of
them
back
to
be
part
of
the
warrant
report.
That's
forthcoming,
so
that
you're,
seeing
all
traffic
calming
measures
addressed
in
one
comprehensive
report.
So
to
answer
your
question,
I
would
say:
majority
of
is
being
dealt
with
now,
something
there
was
not
a
lot
of
appetite
for
that
was
my
impression.
J
J
N
L
S
J
N
J
N
N
J
N
R
Not
attempt
to
do
anything
other
than
assist
the
counselor,
because
I
know
she
was
trying
to
explain
the
process
and
there
was
not
any
ill
intent
and
if
she
I
believes
that
happened,
then
I
apologize.
That
I
did
not
attempt
to
do
that
in
any
way.
There
is
a
difference
between
the
petition
and
a
poll
and
that's
what
she
was
trying
to
explain.
That's
right
and.
N
J
N
N
J
N
J
Million
dollars
and
then
in
this
budget,
the
budget
chair
added,
was
good
enough
to
add
another
six
million.
So
that's
already.
This
is
this
is
because
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
line,
markings
required
to
do
this
work
and
we
actually
need
them
immediately.
We
don't
need
them
in
a
few
months.
We
need
them
immediately
to
get
out
and
do
this
work.
So
that's
why
it's
here-
and
this
is
a
staff
recommendation.
Thank.
N
J
C
Thank
you
speaker,
councillor
karya
Janis's
questions
have
me
thoroughly
confused
and
I
just
want
to
see
if
I
can
get
some
clarity
around
this
through
you
two
councillor,
Robinson
would
I
be
correct
that
the
committee
recommendations
referred
one
three
and
five
back
to
the
general
manager
to
come
together
with
the
report
on
traffic
calming
measures
which
is
different
than
what
you've
got
in
front
of
us.
So
one
was
the
traffic
calming
policy
two
had
to
do
with
some
changes
to
delegation
as
well
as
number
five.
C
So
we,
the
the
the
the
the
committee,
sent
those
back
to
come
together
with
another
report,
but
the,
but
the
motion
in
front
of
you
number
three
is-
is
doing
something
helpful.
It's
finding
a
way
to
speed
up
the
process
in
in
a
way,
that's
not
necessarily
controversial
or
is
related
in
any
way
to
the
deferred
items
back
to
the
traffic
calming
policy.
Yep.
J
That's
exactly
correct,
so
we
we
sent
some
of
it
back
to
be
pardon
parcel
of
this
bigger
report
warrants,
but
exactly
now,
we've
zeroed
in
on
what's
really
important
and
an
ability
to
streamline
and
fast-track
the
process,
and
that's
exactly
what
number
three
does
and
I
think
it's
a
big
step
forward.
So.
C
C
Would
it
be,
would
I
be
right
when
it
when
I
said
traffic
calming
policy
says
that
the
whole
purpose
of
the
petition
is
just
engage
support
so
that
the
staff
aren't
running
around
writing
reports
where
there's
no
interest?
It's
it's
a
rather
low
bar
and
I
think
we're
pretty
confident
that
there's
interest
in
putting
traffic
calming
and
and
other
measures
directly
in
school
areas,
correct.
C
So
we're
moving
the
bar
forward
by
by
supporting
number
three
and
then,
as
you
said,
number
one
is
rather
utilitarian,
because
we
learn
from
staff
that
we
needed
to
lift
the
moratorium
on
the
community
safety
zones
in
order
to
allow
for
the
automated
speed
enforcement
project
to
move
forward
something
we
didn't
really
know.
What
committee
no.
C
Finally,
number
six
was
originally
referred
to
go
along
with
the
community
safety
zone
report
as
a
package,
but
staff
told
us
they'd
like
to
get
a
head
start
on
hiring,
because
these
are
people
that
are
going
to
have
to
be
painting
the
lines
and
installing
the
signs,
so
there
isn't
really
much
harm
and
kind
of
hiring
them
up
a
month.
Early
before
that
report
comes
that's.
J
C
Question
is
you
know
the
way
that
it
came
out
of
committee
was
actually
a
really
good
report,
we're
getting
a
bunch
of
things
out
of
it
and
we're
having
packages
put
together
with
respect
to
the
community
safety
zones
and
the
traffic
warrants
and
future
reports
that
we
can
consider
them
cohesively.
Yet
your
motion
actually
moves
the
bar
forward.
In
a
couple
of
instances,
we
felt.
A
O
E
O
J
That
was
part
of
the
confusion
with
the
report.
So
what
I
had
been
told
by
the
acting
deputy
city
manager
that
both
legal
and
Clerk's
had
some
issues
with
the
report,
the
way
it
was
written
and
that
delegation
or
that
proposal?
And
so
the
committee
didn't
really
endorse
that
concept
and
we
heard
from
other
councillors
they
really
didn't.
There
was
no
appetite
for
delegating
the
authority
to
the
general
manager.
Many
people
felt
that
that's
the
local
councilors
role
and
the
role
of
community
councils,
which
I
keep
calling
North
York.
G
So
the
first
one
is
to
amend
the
council
procedures
to
delegate
to
community
councils,
the
authority
to
waive
petition
and
polling
requirements
for
traffic,
calming
measures
and
community
safety
zones
and
speed
zones,
and
the
second
is
to
amend
the
traffic
calming
policy
as
it
pertains
to
community
safety
zones
and
school
board
school
speed
zones
by
reducing
the
required
polling
response
rate
from
50%
plus
one
to
25%,
plus
one.
So
I'll
just
speak
briefly
about
these
two
motions.
G
One
of
them
I
can
tell
that
councillor
holiday,
feel
strongly
about
polling
and
wants
to
continue
to
pull,
and
these
motions
would
not
impede
him
from
doing
that.
But
I've
already
in
my
street,
my
ward
know
exactly
how
many
people
are
interested
in
speed.
Humps
on
that
Street,
so
to
spend
the
next
16
months
hearing
about
a
poll
that
often
they
did
weren't
there,
they
didn't
get
to
vote
and
then
to
have
to
reports
that
community
council
I
think
is
wasting
a
lot
of
time
of
our
staff.
G
That
I
would
like
them
to
be
out
on-site
visits
looking
at
other
things.
So
it
gives
me
the
opportunity
to
waive
that,
and
it
also
gives
counselors
like
councilor
holiday
or
anyone
else,
the
ability
to
maintain
that.
So
it's
the
perfect
balance
I
also
just
want
to
say
that
I
did
send
around
originally
the
six
original
recommendations
in
an
advance
notice
and
was
pointed
out
that
the
delegated
authority
that
was
in
these
motions
was
an
issue
for
the
clerks
and
for
legal,
because
we
couldn't
do
the
delegated
authority
without
making
a
number
of
other
changes.
G
Bylaw
changes
so
that
was
I.
Remove
I
took
those
back
and
councillor
Robinson
kindly
stepped
up
to
move
the
actual
original
number
one
and
number
six,
which
lifted
a
moratorium
that
been
put
in
place
and
I
think
1999
or
some
other
time
of
many
many
decades
ago,
and
also
number
six,
which
would
make
sure
that
our
general
manager,
her
staff,
can
get
out
early
and
look
at
putting
the
signage
the
striping.
Whatever
else
they
need
to
do
in
those
100
school
zones
that
have
been
identified.
G
The
other
thing
that
we
did
and
the
councillor
Robinson
did
was
simplify
the
language
that
was
at
at
Pea,
wick
and
she's,
identified
that
from
taking
out
delegated
to
just
give
the
authority
and
I
think.
When
I
asked
my
questions,
it
was
very
clear.
I
really
want
our
staff
to
feel
emboldened
to
be
looking
at
solutions,
solutions
out
there
proactively
to
fix
things
to
clear
things
up
to
make
them
safer,
no
matter
where
it
is
across
the
city
and
I.
Don't
think
that
happens
as
much
as
we
would
like.
G
I,
don't
think
that
that
has
been
the
culture
in
transportation
and
I
think
that
our
general
manager
and
their
staff
are
trying
to
change
that
culture
through
vision,
zero,
which
we
have
established
and
we've
all
supported,
and
we
all
want
to
see
move
faster
and
by
the
way
all
Torontonians
want
to
see
vision,
zero
move
faster
in
their
communities
in
their
communities.
They
might
not
like
vision,
zero
when
they're
driving
down
car
law
and
they
want
to
go
50
kilometers
an
hour,
but
they
like
vision,
zero
when
it's
in
their
community
near
their
school.
G
So
we
also
have
to
engage
people
about
the
importance
of
our
traffic,
our
vision,
zero
mode
for
safe
driving
for
safe
cycling
and
for
safe
walking
in
our
city,
and
it
actually
has
to
do
with
all
three.
It's
not
just
one.
It's
all
three,
that's
our
challenge.
This
is
a
very
small
step
towards
this
challenge
and
I'm
very
glad
we're
not
referring
all
of
these
to
come
back,
maybe
in
July
when
we're
out
of
business,
quite
frankly
we're
gone
in
July
or
when
they
would
come
back.
G
But
let's
get
on
with
this
now
clerks
have
been
very
helpful
in
refining
the
language
councillor.
Robinson
has
agreed
to
many
of
these
things,
I'd
like
to
didn't
agree
with
the
polling.
That's
why
I'm
advancing
that
in
this
way
today
and
I
hope
that
councillors,
you
will
support
all
of
the
motions
in
front
of
us
from
councillor
Robinson,
Emily,
Thank,.
N
You
to
the
councillor
when
you
say
on
motion,
be
the
City
Council
amend
from
50
plus
1
to
25
plus
1.
Do
you
mean
in
there
of
the
responders?
So
what
I'm
trying
to
say
if
a
hundred,
if
a
500
go
out
and
only
a
hundred
people
respond
to
your
the
language
that
you're
looking
for
is
that
out
of
the
hundred
people
that
respond,
the
25
are
the
ones
that
say
guess
and
we
do
25.
N
N
G
N
G
A
Members
of
council
like
we
would
like
to
really
get
this
agenda
complete
early,
because
there
are
members
of
council
that
have
to
leave.
So,
if
you
don't
have
to
speak-
and
you
know
what
your
position
is
on
this
item,
I
would
just
suggest
that
we
vote
on
the
motions
councillor
Davis.
Do
you
have
a
question
that
counts
to
Robinson
that
hasn't
been
answered
to
Fletcher
I?
Do
now,
sir
Davis.
R
R
Would
you
consider
taking
off
plus
one
on
the
25%
I'll,
tell
you
why
it
would
make
it
consistent
with
all
of
the
other
polling,
so
you've
I,
don't
know
whether
you
realize
front
yard
parking
commercial
Boulevard
parking
permit
parking
cafe,
cafe
Boulevard
cafes,
they
are
all
25%
and
50%,
plus
one
for
what's
the
the
level
of
support,
so
you
would.
It
would
be
consistent
with
all
of
the
other
polling.
If
you
took
plus.
G
R
G
A
R
G
G
S
So
one
is
to
essentially
reiterate
a
motion
that
I
moved
that
was
approved
at
Council
before
that
City
Council
request
the
Police
Services
Board
to
request
the
police
chief
of
police
I
know
it's
so
awkwardly
worded,
but
that's
formally
how
you
have
to
do
it
here,
because
we
don't
operate
the
police
reports
of
these
services.
More
allocating
adequate
enforcement
of
the
Highway
Traffic
Act
to
neighborhoods
across
Toronto
and
City
Council.
This
is
the
addition
that
they
submit
a
report
to
the
city
and
the
board's
response.
S
So
we
actually
get
a
response
and
we
can
consider
the
response.
The
reason
I
do
this
is
that
53
division
of
my
area
is
one
example
and
I
believe
it's
similar
in
divisions
across
the
city
from
Lawrence
Avenue
down
Laura
Street
from
thorne
cliff
Park
all
the
way
over
to
Spadina.
They
only
have
two
officers
enforcing
the
Highway
Traffic
Act
one
off
and
went
on
at
shifts,
which
is
absurd
and
any
on
the
street
officer.
I've
spoken
with
Greece
and
I'm,
not
getting
to
the
debate
about
it.
S
They
have
enough
money
or
they
you
don't
have
enough
money
or
this
or
that
or
just
factually
we,
it
has
to
be
figured
out.
There
isn't
enough
reasonable
allocation
of
officers
on
the
street
to
be
able
to
even
suggest
to
the
driver.
Who
is
misbehaving
that
there
is
a
possibility
of
enforcement
and
consequence
the
other
one
is
that
if
you
could
put
it
up
that
they're
being
accelerated
process,
that
includes
cost
to
design
and
reconfigure
streets
to
implement
vision,
zero
and
also
a
review
of
our
streets
with
advice
on
changing
the
speed
regulations.
S
S
There
is
no
evidence
that
we
have
made
a
difference
with
respect
to
the
number
of
people
in
our
city,
who
are
tragically
either
being
seriously
injured
or
killed
on
our
streets
and
I
say
that
without
any
suggestion
that
it's
not
without
the
best
efforts
of
those
on
our
staff
and
those
in
political
leadership
who
are
making
efforts
to
make
a
difference.
But
I
think
we
all
can
honestly
admit
it's
not
working
yet
and
we
need
to
do
more.
S
As
you
know,
I've
been
a
big
advocate,
based
on
experts,
advice
and
based
on
our
medical
officer
of
health
advice
that
we
need
to
lower
the
speed
limits
in
our
neighborhood
streets
to
ensure
that
that
we
set
the
rules.
So
in
other
words,
just
like
the
federal
government
says,
you're
not
allowed
to
break
you're
not
allowed
to
break
into
a
bank,
then
it's
the
police's
job
to
then
go
and
enforce
those
rules
and
go
catch.
The
bank
robbers.
Well,
we
need
to
set
our
standards.
What
should
those
regs
be?
S
But
then
we
need
police,
adequate
police
enforcement
to
then
go
and
do
something
about
it
when
people
are
whether
it
be
texting
and
driving
or
racing
through
stop
signs
or
speeding
on
our
streets.
But
we
also
know,
based
on
expert
advice,
that
many
of
our
streets
are
configured
and
designed
to
accommodate
50,
öre,
kilometers
or
more,
and
we
need
to
look
at
those
streets
and
see
what
can
we
do
to
thoughtfully
reconfigure
them
in
a
way?
S
That's
cost
effective
and
efficient
to
ensure
that
they
are
redesigned
in
a
way
that
promotes
our
regulations,
in
other
words,
what,
as
our
expectations
of
30
kilometers,
where
necessary
or
40
or
what
or
whatever
the
street
might
be
so
bottom
line
is
I?
Don't
think
we
are
doing
enough
fast
enough
to
respond
to
what
I
believe
is
the
top
priority.
There
are
a
lot
of
priorities
in
the
city.
S
I
can
speak
as
our
seniors
advocates,
the
vast
preponderance
of
people
who
are
either
seriously
injured
or
killed
on
our
streets
or
seniors
that
isn't
spoken
about
enough,
but
it
should
be
more
because
that's
a
significant
problem
and
we
need
to
deal
with
people.
We
need
to
help
people
who
have
mobility
challenges
and
who
are
vulnerable
on
our
streets,
but,
as
a
father
of
a
five-year-old
I
can
tell
you
that
this
is
and
this-
and
this
is
a
kid
who's-
gonna
be
walking
to
school.
S
One
of
these
days
sooner
than
I,
like
you
know,
on
her
own
I.
Think
all
of
us
need
to
know
that
we've
done
everything
possible
within
this
time
period
that
were
elected
to
to
make
our
streets
as
safe
as
we
possibly
can
make
them,
and
we
invest
in
a
lot
of
other
things.
We
should
be
investing
in
reconfiguring
our
streets.
We
should
have
the
courage
to
lower
speed
limits
where
necessary
and
the
governance
structure
that
we
have
doesn't
allow
us
to
force
this
issue.
But
I
would
hope
that
the
police
would
agree.
S
Then
we
need
a
number
of
officers
enforcing
the
Highway
Traffic
Act
in
every
neighborhood
in
our
city,
to
ensure
that
then,
when
we
set
the
requirements
that
they're
enforced
and
that
there's
some
even
possibility
of
consequences
on
drivers
who
are
not
behaving
as
individuals,
the
way
that
we
would
expect
that
they
should.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
G
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
formally
say
I've
signed
off
on
the
50%
plus
one
to
25
percent
and
also
I
understand
that
the
question
might
be
called
shortly
and
I'd
like
to
make
one
more
revision
in
motion
a
and
that
would
be
to
after
traffic
calming
measures.
This
councillor
just
said
has
asked
me
to
take
off
in
community
safety
zones
and
school
speeds.
Oh
it's
cool,
so
it
could
be
on
any
Street
in
your
ward,
not
just
those
that
are
already
designated
Thank.
N
A
A
J
Councillor
Robinson
I
just
want
to
make
sure
cuz
councillor,
Fletcher
kind
of
added
it
to
hers.
On
the
fly
can
make
between
extra
council
sees
the
oceans
yes
and
can
I
just
clarify.
Did
she
get
rid
of
the
word
petition
and
her
just
to
wait?
So
the
petition
is
the
initial
piece
and
the
polling
is
the
clerk's
piece.
Well,
you'll
see
it
when.
F
A
P
R
E
P
R
We've
struggled
over
the
years
to
understand
what
Authority
committee
of
adjustment
has
for
granting
front-yard
parking,
pads
and
the
role
of
the
city
over
granting
access
through
the
right-of-way
and
permitting
of
the
right-of-way.
But
we
have
been
told
that
if
committee
of
adjustment
approves
a
parking
pad,
even
if
it's
in
the
front
of
the
front
wall
of
the
house,
which
is
contrary
to
the
zoning
bylaw,
that
we
are
obligated
to
provide
permission
and
grant
a
curb
cut
in
the
public
right-of-way
to
allow
access
to
that
parking
pad.
And
so
why?
Why
is
that?
R
M
R
M
Q
R
A
G
H
You
a
few
madam
staff,
sorry,
madam
Speaker,
to
the
appropriate
staff.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
transportation
or
if
it's
legal
staff
I
just
want
to
ask
you
to
clarify
if
I
have
a
parking,
space
or
driveway
on
my
property,
that's,
let's
call
it.
Two
and
a
half
meters
wide
I
come
in
for
a
parking
pad
application
or
through
committee
of
adjustment
to
widen
my
driveway
to
get
that
I'll
call
it
second
spot
on
my
front
lawn
that
increases
my
driveway.
E
H
So
if
the
intent
of
counsel
is
to
try
to
maximize
the
amount
of
permeable
surface,
as
we
say
or
green
space,
you're
saying
that
if,
on
the
one
hand,
we
do
something
good
for
some
residents,
which
is
to
allow
them
to
have
a
parking
pad
when
necessary,
there
are
the
unintended
consequence
of
our
action
is
to
pave
over
more
surface
area
all
across
this
city
or
well
in
the
downtown
parts
of
the
city,
which
is
something
that
all
of
our
policies
say.
We
shouldn't
do.
K
Through
you,
madam
chair,
perhaps
I
could
help
address
this
question
help
both
councillors
and
council
out
here.
One
thing
to
keep
in
mind
is
the
process
itself.
If
an
application
comes
in
to
the
committee
of
adjustment
for
a
minor
variance,
say
to
widen
the
driveway
or
reduce
the
landscaping
requirements,
the
process
we
have
in
place
has
circulation
of
that
proposal
to
departments
like
transportation
services.
Their
comments
are
fed
back
to
the
C
of
a
before
the
C
of
a
deals
with
the
matter,
so
they're
informed
in
their
decision-making.
H
H
K
Three,
madam
Speaker,
yes,
we,
the
the
commenting
departments,
will
provide
advice
to
the
see
of
a
panel,
as
do
Community
Planning
staff,
and
if
the
recommendation
is
that
the
driveway
be
narrowed,
perhaps
to
match
to
the
existing
narrower,
curb
cut.
That
will
be
the
advice
to
the
committee
of
adjustment.
However,
the
committee
of
adjustment
is
able
to
make
an
independent
decision,
not
take
that
advice
if,
if
they
choose
not
to,
but
that's
not
often.
H
And
is
would
I
be
correct
in
saying
you
have
not
actually
received
that
direction
from
Council
to
maximize
the
green
space
if
you
will
or
to
restrict
the
original
opening
to
the
original
driveway.
That's
matter
also
of
practice,
but
do
you
have
direction
from
this
council
to
not
allow
people
to
have
a
fifteen-minute
metre
wide
driveway
or
parking
space
that
allows
them
to
pave
over
the
boulevard.
K
Through
you,
madam
chair,
the
citywide
zoning
bylaw,
adopted
in
2013,
amended
by
and
approved
by
the
OMB
very
recently,
plus
some
technical
amendments
done
sort
of
controls.
The
situation
by
having
a
sliding
scale
of
required,
landscaped
open
space
in
front
of
houses.
It's
based
on
the
width
or
lot
frontage.
You
have
the
wider.
The
lot
frontage,
the
more
landscaped
open
space
you're
required.
The
committee
takes
that
into
consideration
when
they're
dealing
with
applications
before
them.
There
is
a
relationship
to
the
parking
pad.
In
that
scenario,
okay,
great.
Thank
you,
madam.
H
K
Sir,
you,
madam
chair
the
issue
of
street
trees
or
trees
on
the
private
property
that
end
up
in
one
form
or
another
coming
before
the
committee
has
generated
a
lot
of
interest
by
planning
and
growth
management
and
council
in
general.
There
has
been
recent
reports
that
have
come
through
the
committee
on
this
issue.
I
can
tell
you
the
process
that
I
outlined
related
to
the
curb
cut
and
that
we
circulate
to
transportation
services
that
same
process
occurs
with
urban
forestry
before
a
matter
is
scheduled
at
the
committee
for
the
panel
to
hear
the
matter.
K
Urban
forestry
comments
on
any
tree
issues
generally
speaking
through
education
and
other
means
we
I
have
found
or
I've
observed,
certainly
even
in
the
last
year,
a
greater
sensitivity
or
regard
by
the
panel
members
of
the
see
of
a
to
address
appropriately
the
issues
of
trees
that
come
up
and
in.
If
it
came
up
with
a
parking
pad
issue,
we
would
look
to
flip
the
parking
access
to
the
other
side
to
protect
the
tree,
so
that
that's
thing
that
I
think
is
being
handled
better.
More
recently,.
P
And
what
can
we
see?
The
committee
do
to
have
that
even
better
than
that,
because
it
is
that
conflict
between
redeveloping.
But
the
demands
that
some
people
have
may
affect
in
some
cases
and
I'm
facing
one
today
moving
a
side
yard
by
two
feet.
It
caused
a
driveway
to
lose
six
feet
and
then
this
newt
this
tree
now
is
in
the
middle
of
the
second
opening
for
the
second
door.
For
the
driveway
and
faced
with
the
choice
of
get
one
of
my
colleagues
with
a
chainsaw,
maybe
to
cut
it
down
or.
A
R
K
You,
madam
chair,
this
scenario,
happens.
Quite
quite
often,
plans
come
in
they're
in
conflict
with
an
existing
tree.
What
we've
seen
lately
and
what
we've
actually
pushed
for
is,
where
appropriate,
we're
seeking
the
committee
to
defer
the
matter
to
a
future
hearing
date
so
that
we
can
get
in
revised
plants.
The
community
planning
our
commenting
urban
forestry
is
commenting,
so
we
can
get
revised
plans
in
that
they
may
change
where
that
door
is
located
or
where
the
access
to
the
building
is
so
that
we
can
better
protect
the
trees.
K
K
In
terms
of
training,
for
both
the
meant
for
the
members
on
issues
like
urban
forestry
and
transportation
services,
the
last
full
day
hearing
we
had
for
the
panel
members,
we
had
in
fact
had
experts
from
both
departments
in
to
talk
about
those
issues
with
the
panel
members.
We're
ramping
up
for
another
full
day
hearing
with
the
members,
and
our
intention
is
to
invite
transportation
services
plus
parks,
forestry
and
Rec
staff
again
to
deal
with
issues
that
have
arisen
in
the
last
year
in
terms
of
the
staff
side
of
that
training
equation.
K
I
think
all
the
departments
have
worked
closely
together
over
the
last
couple
years
to
improve
the
timeliness
and
effectiveness
of
responses
to
help
the
panel
members
make
better
decisions.
It's
a
clear
message:
we
got
from
committee
and
council
that
the
panel
members
be
trained
to
make
better
decisions
and
we've
been
doing
that.
Okay,.
A
A
Q
This
issue
is
so
fraught
with
difficulty,
particularly
for
those
of
us
who
represent
neighborhoods,
where
houses
are
close
together
and
people
often
have
neither
driveway
nor
a
garage
nor
the
room
for
a
parking
pad
and
their
neighbors
want
to
get
one.
We
try
to
control
it
through
the
the
bylaw
to
make
sure
that
it's
done
well
right
and
now
there
are
Believe
It
or
Not
consultants
out
there
who
are
working
with
with
people
who
cannot
get
a
parking
pad
under
our
bylaw
and
tell
them.
You
can
get
around
that.
Q
If
you
go
to
the
committee
of
adjustment,
frustrating
the
purpose
of
our
parking
pad
regulation,
which
is
necessary
in
some
of
the
neighborhoods,
where
houses
are
very
close
together,
there
are
streets
in
in
the
former
City
of
Toronto
were
literally.
There
is
no
green
space
left
because
it
is
just
a
roll
of
parking
pads,
all
down
the
block
and
it's
a
very
serious
problem.
So
they
what
the
staff
have
brought
us
addresses
some
issues
and
I
do
commend
to
you
that
you
vote
for
it.
Q
But
we
do
have
to
get
a
handle
on
both
the
parking
pad
bylaw
and
the
tree
bylaw
being
circumvented
by
applications
to
the
committee
of
adjustment,
we're
going
to
run
into
this
with
laneway
housing.
When
that
comes,
we
will
start
to
lose
trees
that
we
didn't
need
to
lose,
because
people
will
go
in
for
a
minor
variance,
despite
what
we
write
in
the
zoning
bylaw
for
laneway
housing.
Q
Frankly,
at
this
point,
the
only
recourse
available
to
us
as
a
council
is
yes
to
have
city
staff,
write
reports
that
go
to
the
committee
of
adjustment
and
encourage
them
to
notice
that
there
is
council
policy.
Saying
please
don't
do
this,
but
when
the
committee
ignores
that
advice
as
they
do
at
times,
we're
going
to
have
to
start
directing
the
city
solicitor
to
go
to
the
local
Appeal
Tribunal
to
overturn
the
decision
of
the
committee
of
adjustment.
Q
In
order
to
protect
the
public
policy
goals,
we
have
of
reducing
stormwater
of
increasing
our
tree
canopy
and
making
our
streets
livable
it's
incredibly
frustrating
and
frankly,
next
term
we
are
going
to
have
to
turn
our
minds
to
finding
a
better
solution
to
this.
So
we
don't
have
people
frustrating
good
public
policy
that
we
are
trying
to
build
as
a
council.
So
with
that
I'll
sit
down
and
say,
I'm,
not
thrilled
with
what
we
have
in
front
of
us,
but
given
the
legal
possibilities
we
have
today
it's
the
best.
We
could
do
great.
E
R
You
Speaker
I
will
be
supporting
the
recommendation
and
I've
had
a
chance
to
get
my
questions
answered
by
both
transportation.
C
of
a
staff
I
do
struggle
with
this
as
well,
because
we
have
a
zoning
bylaw.
That
says,
please
don't
park
in
front
of
the
front
wall
of
the
house.
We
have
zoning
bylaw.
That
says
we
want
it
landscaped
and
we
want
75%
of
the
front
yard,
landscaped
and
50%
of
that
to
be
green
space.
R
Then
the
problem
has
been,
though
we
have
chapter
9,
1
8,
which
was
what
governed
the
right-of-way
portions
of
the
front
of
the
front
yards,
and
it
also
spoke
to
the
green
landscaping
requirements.
So
what
this
bylaw
does?
What
these
bylaw
changes
do
as
I
understand
it
is
to
clarify
how
much
of
a
front
yard
can
be
walkways
parking
and
driveways
and
parking
pads
and
how
much
what
percentage
has
to
be
soft
landscaping.
R
I
hope
I
have
that
right
and
what
the
outcome
of
this
actually
is
is
that
we
are
protecting
a
greater
proportion
of
the
front
yard
for
soft
green
landscaping,
which
is
what
we
want
to
do
to
achieve
the
wet
weather
flow
objectives
we
have
to
at
source
increase
the
amount
of
permeability
in
private
yards
and
in
the
public
right-of-way
to
read
or
reduce
stormwater
that
goes
into
our
already
under
capacity
stormwater
system.
So,
overall,
these
are
technical
in
nature.
R
But
I.
Don't
think
they
have
been
paying
enough
attention
to
those
green
space
and
landscaping
requirements
of
the
zoning
bylaw.
What
has
also
happened
is
that
the
committee
of
adjustment
has
not
been
paying
the
level
of
attention
it
showed
as
well
to
what
our
city
objectives
are
so
I'm,
hoping
with
greater
guidance
given
to
the
community
adjustment
and
to
our
planners
that
we
will
see
better
decisions
that
are
protecting
and
achieving
our
objectives
around
maintaining
adequate
green
space
on
private
and
public
property.
Thank
you.
H
H
J
A
H
A
C
H
R
C
Anna,
so
my
motion
is
to
appoint
councillor
macmaine
to
the
Public
Works
and
Infrastructure
Committee,
because
we
have
such
an
issue
with
quorum.
We
need
somebody
at
the
next
meeting
and
to
go
through
an
appointment
process
and
then
appoint
that
counselor
would
cause
delay
and
cause
risk.
We
hope
that
this
is
palatable
to
all
members
of
council.
A
Okay,
we're
deputy,
have
a
question.
Counselor
Mary,
just
put
your
name
up
and
ask
them
a
question:
it
counts
two
holidays,
so
you
you're
about
you're
ready
for
questions.
Okay,
questions
two
counts:
your
holiday
counts
are
to
marry,
you
put
it
in
the
wrong
place.
Counselor
I
had
no
hold
on
first
counselor
Davis
counselor
Davis.
What
is
your
question?
Counselor.
R
C
R
C
If
you
heard
what
I
said
traditionally,
the
appointed
counselor
for
counselor
Lee
would
be
the
person
to
fill
his
spot
on
the
committee.
If
we
wait
for
that
process
to
go
through,
we
jeopardize
the
committee,
because
quorum
is
at
risk
at
every
meeting
we
seem
to
go
to
so
this
is
to
ensure
somebody
is
able
to
come
to
the
next
meeting
and
so.
H
A
A
O
R
R
A
R
R
It
shocks
me
that
this
mayor
has
continued
to
do
this
through
this
entire
term,
that
he
has
decided
that
geographic
representation
or
political
representation
or
people
he
likes
or
doesn't
like
somehow
always
manages
to
color
the
appointments
in
this
place.
I
have
been
here
for
15
years
and
I've
never
seen
it
as
bad.
R
Really,
there
is
no
reason
why
councilor
perks
or
councillor
Layton
or
any
of
the
other
councillors
who
have
not
just
expertise
but
experience
on
the
works
committee
should
not
be
appointed
to
this
committee,
but
this
has
been
a
pattern
throughout
this
entire
term
and
I'm.
Very
sad
and
I
hope
that
next
term
there
is
an
attempt
to
make
this
body
representative
on
all
of
its
committees.
But
the
way
you
have
kept
people
off
consistently
has
been
quite
shameful.
R
A
P
P
E
P
Is
I
think
there
are
times
in
life
when
it's
important
to
bees
to
assert
your
political
authority
and
there
are
times
in
life
when
it's
important
to
be
gracious,
and
we
have
two
meetings
left
and
I
think
the
analysis
that
some
people
have
been
left
off
for
whatever
reasons
political
personality
conflicts.
This
is
to
meetings
left
I.
Think
it's
good
to
be
gracious.
So
if
someone
moves,
somebody
else,
I
think
it's
not
a
bad
thing
to
do,
and
I
would
say
in
its
its
independent
of
I,
hope,
I'm
saying
this
independent
of
political
persuasion.
Q
You
I
have
a
motion
to
strike
councillor
McMahon
and
replace
it
with
councillor.
Laden
I
think
that
deeds
speak
louder
than
words.
I
would
like
to
read
from
the
Toronto
Star
December
26
2017.
If
we
elected
by
Torontonians
next
year,
Mayor
John
Tory
says
he
will
be
more
open
to
listening
to
and
working
with,
left-leaning
downtown
city
councillors.
Those
are
my
remarks.
A
A
R
H
E
Madam
Speaker
I
was
going
to
move
the
motion
to
send
this
particular
decision
to
strike
in
committee,
but
I'm
told
by
the
clerk's
office
that
it
cannot
be
done
just
the
motion
because,
because
whether
it's
reality
or
perception
there
is
some
sort
of
a
cloudiness
around
the
process
in
which
this
is
happening
and
it's
chin
Lisa.
Consolation
least
we
can
see
so
we
we
have
some
time
to
make
this
properly.
The
striking
committee
ultimately
has
the
distance
I
was
going
to
move
it,
but
I
don't
understand
why.
That
part
cannot
be
moved.
E
T
B
Speaker
I
have
a
motion
that
motion
one
by
Deputy,
Mayor
holiday,
be
amended
by
deleting
the
name
councillor
Mary,
Margaret
man
and
inserting
the
name
councillor
Gordon
Burke,
so
that
it
now
reads
da-da-da-da-da
I.
This
is
in
absolutely
no
way
a
reflection
of
my
deep
respect.
I
have
for
councillor
McMahon.
Well,
we
have
our
differences
we
enjoy.
We
also,
we
also
have
not
many.
We
have
worked
together
on
countless
items.
I
also
enjoy
her.
B
Her
company
is
a
very,
very
capable
chair
of
the
public
of
the
parks
and
Environment
Committee,
in
fact,
I'm
saddened
when
our
when
our
agenda
is
so
light
that
we
don't
get
to
spend
more
time
together,
trying
to
work
through
some
interesting
issues
like
biofuels
that
I
think
of
both
of
us
that
bonk
our
head
against
the
walls.
What
my
concern
is
that
that
this
was
not
any
there
wasn't
any
attempt
to
ask
other
members
of
councilor
what
counsel
whether
or
not
they
were
interested
in
serving
on
this
committee.
I
know.
B
Councillor
McMahon
is
interested
in
the
public
works
committee
because
she
has
said
so
before
to
myself
as
well
as
listed
it
on
on
her.
Her
preferences,
but
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
her
number
one
preference
I
sure
know
it
was
my
number
one
preference
I'm,
pretty
sure
it
was
councillor,
perks,
number
one
preference.
When
listing
it,
and
typically
what
happens
is
when
you
go
through
strike
in
committee.
You
try
to
get
people
their
number
one
preference
or
their
number
one
or
number.
B
Two
there's
two
meetings
left,
there's
a
good
reason
why
we
should
have
Bret
better
representative
representation
on
the
committee.
I
find
councillor
perks
to
be
knowledgeable
about
a
number
of
subjects,
but
one
in
particular
is
is
issues
that
are
placed
on
the
parks
on
the
on
the
public
works
agenda
and
so
I'm.
B
It
saddens
me
that
there
was
absolutely
zero
attempt
on
the
part
of
the
mayor
or
the
deputy
mayor
to
to
at
least
come
and
ask
other
city
councillors
whether
or
not
they
might
be
interested
in
serving
on
that
committee,
whether
or
not
they're
gonna
turn
it
and
turn
us
down
or
not.
There
was
zero
it
made,
and
this
comes
from
and
I
know
that
councillor
perks
already
read
it
out.
A
mayor
who
was
said
he's
going
to
attempt
to
build
bridges
with
other
other
political,
perhaps
ideologies
on
council.
B
A
A
N
B
O
You,
madam
Speaker,
well
one
thing:
I've
learned
head
city
councillors:
you
don't
always
get
what
you
want
and
there's
a
lot
of
sour
grapes
here
and
if
you
want
to
talk
about
good
candidates.
I
know
councillor
Davis
talked
about
diversity.
Here
we
have
a
downtown
councillor,
a
female,
not
a
white
male,
that
I
that
I've
heard
watching
we've
seen
in
Motion's,
not
a
white
male,
actually
a
female
which
what
we're
trouble
right,
Dale
councillor
Davis
is
maybe
I'm
wrong.
H
You,
madam
Speaker
Iowa
support,
certainly
councillor
Mary
Margaret
McMahon
in
terms
of
the
concern
about
geographic
representation.
Again,
I
sometimes
think
we
must
live
in
different
universes,
because
the
last
time
I
checked
councillor
McMahon,
doesn't
sit
on
the
North,
York
or
Etobicoke
or
Scarborough
Community
Council.
She
sits
on
the
Toronto,
Community,
Council
and
people
might
say
well,
she's
not
downtown.
H
Well,
if
you
live
in
Scarborough
or
up
close
to
the
zoo
and
you
look
at
the
boardwalk,
you
sort
of
go
yeah,
that's
downtown,
that's
certainly
within
the
Toronto
Community
Council
area,
I
would
call
it
describe.
Her,
has
left
of
Attila
the
Hun.
She
loves
bikes.
She
loves
trees.
She
has
a
treatment
plant
in
her
ward.
She
has
the
Blue
Flag
program
in
her
ward.
She
has
streetcars
in
her
ward,
I,
think
she's,
a
wonderful
pick
and
I
think
she
will
increase
the
diversity.
H
J
Gourd
perks
was
there,
he
was
there
biggest
life
but
you're,
not
on
the
committee.
So
the
issue
is
that
it's
actually
not
funny
it's
a
big
problem
because
we're
dealing
with
major
contracts
and
major
issues
at
this
committee.
It's
always
a
very
lengthy
meeting.
It
needs
somebody
who's
committed,
and
this
is
the
truth
that
there
was
not
time
to
get
this
just
striking
committee.
It
was
at.
This
is
a
time
issue
and
the
last
meeting
we
were
lucky
to
keep
quorum
going
for
a
couple
hours
to
get
these
issues
dealt
with.
J
So
we
couldn't
get
this
to
strike
in
committee,
and
here
we
are
at
Council
with
the
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
we
will
have
a
full
complement
with
councillor
Lee
resigning
at
our
next
P
wek
meeting,
and
even
when
we
had
a
full
complement,
we
couldn't
keep
quorum
and
Public
Works
and
Infrastructure
Committee,
it's
a
two
point:
six
billion
dollar
portfolio
and
we
can't
keep
quorum.
So
what
I
will
tell
you
when
councillor
McMahon
served
on
this
committee
for
the
two
first
two
years
of
this
term?
She
was
there
consistently.
She
was
the
vice
chair.
J
She
was
on
time.
She
rarely
even
went
to
the
washroom
and
she
was
there
to
the
bitter
end
of
every
meeting
and
checked
the
tapes.
If
you
don't
believe
it.
She
was
also
of
a
major
bike
guru,
a
proponent
and
advocate
for
the
cycling
community
consistently
she
did
not
waver
and
the
bottom
line
is
she's
already
up
and
running
because
she
sat
on
the
committee
for
two
years
and
she's
got
the
experience.
We
only
have
two
meetings
left
and
this
has
hurt
the
this
is
the
finale.
K
Right
well,
thank
you
and
unless
I'm
gonna
speak
briefly,
because
it's
the
end
of
the
day
and
an
end
of
three
long
days
about
next
term
as
it
relates
to
this
and
I
want
to
speak
specifically.
No,
no,
because
what
isn't
let
me
if
I
could
speak,
please
is
we're
talking
as
part
of
this
debate
about
downtown.
K
In
fact,
the
largest
items
that
we
have
dealt
with
it
Public
Works
in
this
term
are
all
in
not
all
of
the
items
with
the
largest
items
in
the
three
downtown
wards.
This
is
the
official
plan
designated
downtown,
and
so,
as
we
look
to
next
term
this
the
vote
today,
we
all
know
what
it
is.
It's
the
end
of
three
long
days
and
we're
having
a
debate,
but
as
we
look
to
next
term
I
think
we
all
understand
that
the
committee
breakdown
is
a
reflection
of
the
administration's
politics
and
choices.
K
We
understand
that,
but
as
we
look
to
next
term-
and
we
talk
about
good
governance
with
respect
to
Public
Works,
the
biggest
items
we
dealt
with
this
term
all
took
place
in
downtown
and
not
a
single
downtown
councillor
was
part
of
that
committee
to
help
Shepherd
those
debates
for
good
governance.
For
me
to
represent
my
constituents
for
counselor
troi,
see
formally
McConnell
counselor,
Wong
Tam
and
three
new
councillors
who
are
coming.
If
we're
gonna
do
right
by
the
residents
who
live
in
these
wards,
then
they
need
to
be
reflected
on
that
committee.
P
Madam
Speaker
I
am
extremely
sympathetic
to
my
colleague,
councillor
Robinson,
and
the
help
that
she's
trying
to
get
from
councillor
Holliday
to
make
sure
the
next
meeting
goes
forward.
Unfortunately,
at
planning
growth
management
committee
we've
had
a
number
of
occasions
where
the
members
weren't
there,
some
of
them
are
solidly
there
all
the
time.
Some
of
them
never
seem
to
make
it
on
time
stuck
in
traffic
or
some
rare
excuse,
when
you
know
month
after
month
after
month,
to
be
there
and
you
have
to
get
down
in
time
and
to
not
have
quorum.
P
Not
only
puts
the
committee
members
and
the
issues
of
the
staff
at
risk,
but
those
that
have
come
there
to
depute
and
deal
with
it,
and
it's
not
right
and
what's
being
recommended
now,
with
a
lot
of
comments
from
my
colleagues.
Here
was
one
individual
that
could
sit
and
was
prepared
to
sit
for
one
meeting
and
make
sure
they
had
quorum.
So
we
didn't
have
to
call
the
mare
into
meaning,
and
it's
become
this
huge
debate-
it's
not
a
left-right
debate
or
who
can't
get
on
the
committees.
P
P
Don't
know
why
now,
at
the
end
of
a
long
day,
maybe
we're
all
tired
but
you've
got
to
making
this
left-right
issue
and
what's
gonna
happen
next
term
in
balancing
the
committees,
committees,
don't
make
any
decisions,
departments,
write
reports,
committees,
make
recommendations
to
counsel
counsel,
makes
decisions,
and
if
and
if
there
are
items
that
council
doesn't
like
that
committees
dealt
with.
It
has
the
right
to
remove
that
from
the
committee
and
bring
it
to
Council,
where
we
all
work
collectively
and
spend
multiple
days.
P
Looking
at
the
issues
and
the
recommendations,
the
committee
so
I'm
more
than
happy
to
support
my
colleague
who
said
she'll
stand
for
one
meeting.
She
understands
the
issues,
I
think
she'd
be
graded.
It
middle-of-the-road
will
get
the
meeting
done
and
come
back
to
the
next
council
meeting.
If
we
appoint
a
new
counselor
will
appoint
that
person,
I'm
sure
to
stand
on
that
role
and
I,
don't
know
really
what
the
big
debate
is
about
for
an
hour
long
here
and
the
internal
fight
between
people
that
I
think
usually
find
a
way
to
get
along
together.
E
Of
all
I'd
like
to
thank
the
Academy
and
I,
really
I
really
wish.
My
brothers
were
watching
this
because
they'd
be
cheering
all
of
you
on,
because
they
they
like
supporters
and
detractors
and
to
to
rip
me
anytime,
I
can
but
I
will
tell
you
it's
no
offense
to
current
members
of
the
committee.
But
this
is
not
a
joy
to
be
on
this
committee.
E
Actually
I've
been
on
it
before
and
and
there
have
been
struggles
with
quorum
and
chaos,
but
I'm
happy
to
oblige
and
and
join
it
and
I
do
have
a
little
bit
more
time
on
my
hands
than
most
of
you
since
I'm,
a
big
supporter
of
term
limits
so
and
I'm
happy
to
write
you
a
support
letter
for
your
next
committee
choice
in
2019
as
an
outsider.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
T
I
had
with
Paula
Fletcher
councillor
Paula
Fletcher,
when
she's,
not
here,
but
first
of
all,
I
want
to
start
into
by
just
saying
this.
This
notion
that
was
published,
somebodies
calm.
It
was
written
that
we're
sort
of
just
here
going
through
the
motions
for
this
meeting
and
I
think
they
started
back
in
about
March
and
went
through
all
the
meetings
that
happen
through
the
end
of
July
I.
Actually,
fundamentally,
don't
accept
I
mean
there's
important
business.
T
We
did
here
today
and
yesterday,
and
there
was
important
business
last
month
and
there
will
be
next
month
and
so
I
view
what's
going
on
is
not
some
deal
where
we're
just
saying.
Well,
let's
give
somebody
a
chance,
because
it
would
be
nice
to
do
that
and
all
this
kind
of
thing
there's
important
business
going
on
here,
both
at
the
committees
and
at
council.
We,
in
my
view
this
whole
business
of
taking
a
hiatus
as
long
as
we
do
is
ridiculous
and
we
should
be
here
doing
our
job.
T
In
my
view,
this
is
my
personal
opinion
until
mid-september
and
there's
lots
of
time
to
campaign
after
that,
the
provincial
election
campaign
only
lasts
30
days
and
I.
Don't
think
any
of
us
would
say
there's
a
shortage
of
time
or
a
shortage
of
news
we've
heard
about
it
in
the
first
half
of
the
campaign.
So
we
have
lots
of
time
to
do
that.
But
having
said
that,
that's
the
law
and
we
have
to
do.
We
also
had
a
resignation
that
came
about,
and
we
didn't
have
time
to
convene
the
striking
committee.
T
It's
a
fact
that
I
don't
think,
there's
anybody
that
spends
more
time,
there's
some
and
spent
as
much
in
this
building
as
I
do
and
as
a
result
of
the
fact
that
I'm
here
I've
been
available
at
9:30
many
a
morning,
many
more
mornings
that
I
ever
should
have
been
to
go
and
and
fill
in
quorum,
and
it
wasn't
just
at
Public,
Works
and
I.
Think
that
speaks
to
something
else.
We're
gonna
have
to
come
to
grips
with
around
here.
Whoever's
gonna
be
here
in
the
next
term.
T
I
hope
to
be
I
hope
all
those
who
want
to
be
are
here,
but
we've
got
to
take
this
seriously
and
decide
that
we're
gonna
just
show
up
to
the
meetings.
There's
the
odd
occasion
where
it's
obviously
beyond
somebody's
control,
but
I
think
the
notion
that
people
are
just
not.
There
is
I,
think
the
taxpayers
of
every
reason
to
be
severely
disappointed
in
that.
But
again,
that's
a
side
of
this
playing
politics.
Playing
politics,
which
somebody
referred
to
a
moment
ago,
would
have
had
me
stick
with
the
original
recommendation.
T
T
Someone
on
who
is
a
City
of
Toronto
councillor,
who
I
think
has
views
on
many
of
these
issues
that
a
lot
of
the
people
that
are
complaining
this
afternoon
would
agree
with,
and
I
will
also
say
that,
in
my
consideration
of
her
being
a
great
candidate,
was
that
she'd
served
two
years
on
the
committee
knew
the
issues
and
that
she's
not
running
for
real.
We'll
have
the
time
to
devote
to
this.
Unlike
other
people
around
here,
including
myself,
were
you
know,
have
added
stresses
of
things
to
do
with
campaigns.
T
So
I
just
want
to
say:
I
have
absolute
complete
confidence
in
councillor,
McLean
I
think
she
will
do
the
right
thing
on
the
issues
that
are
gonna
be
brought
to
that
committee.
She
will
attend
the
meetings
and
I
just
am
very
regretful
at
the
fact
that,
at
this
meeting
on
this
subject
at
this
time
of
day
that
people
feel
that
they
have
to
sort
of
cast
aspersions
in
the
manner
that
was
done.
We'll
see
what
happens
next
term,
we'll
see
who's
here.
T
I
can't
count
on
being
here,
we'll
see
who's
here
and
we'll
see
how
those
people,
including
myself,
conduct
themselves
relative
to
things
said
in
the
Toronto
Star.
Otherwise,
when
they
get
here,
but
in
today,
I
tried
to
do
the
right
thing,
and
this
is
what
you
get
and
I
just
say.
That's
really
regrettable,
and
we
should
do
better.
A
P
N
A
A
C
T
O
A
E
E
J
E
It
thanks
through
the
speaker,
we
developed
a
process
jointly
for
this
interim
process,
with
public
appointments
and
tenants.
First
and
through
that
process
we
held
for
information
sessions
for
tenants
at
Toronto,
employment
and
social
services
locations.
We,
in
addition
to
giving
information
about
how
to
apply
for
the
board
and
the
roles
and
responsibilities.
We
also
offered
assistance
through
the
test
staff
to
submit
applications
online
and
as
well
interview
skills
training
for
tenants
who
are
selected.
M
So
we
have
an
online
application
on
our
on
the
Public
Appointments
website,
so
all
candidates,
whether
they're
public
members
or
the
tenant
directors,
were
asked
to
submit
an
application
through
that
process.
Public
employment
staff
then
reviews
their
application
and
does
an
assessment.
That
assessment
is
then
provided
to
the
nominating
panel,
along
with
their
application.
The
nominating
panel
reviews
that
and
then
makes
a
decision
as
to
who
they'd
like
to
select
and
ultimately
bring
in
for
interview
and
then
ultimately
appoint
well
rank
for
recommendation
for
appointment.
So.
E
M
I
would
say
that
it
is
diverse,
although
we
don't
have
specific
targets,
but
I
can
say
that
all
members
of
the
public
applying
to
city
board
agency
or
tribunal
are
asked
to
complete
a
voluntary
confidential
diversity
survey
as
part
of
the
application-
and
this
was
the
case
with
both
the
public
members
and
the
tenant
directors.
The
information
that
we
get
is
shared
with
the
nominating
panel
to
assist
the
state
in
achieving
its
objectives,
around
diversity
and
inclusion
and
public
appointments,
and
that
says,
per
our
public
appointments
policy
and.
I
I
M
I
can
say
is
that
we
have
a
92%
response
rate
and,
with
our
confidential
diversity
survey,
we
publish
that
information
on
our
website
quarterly.
So
it
is
for
the
public
some
areas
where
some
spaces
we
are
doing
better
and
some
there's
some
area
there's
some
room
for
improvement,
which
is
why
collecting
this
data
is
very
helpful
for
us
to
develop
outreach
strategies
and
look
at
ways
where
we
can
improve
when
we
could
be
doing
better
great.
G
Black
church
to
speak,
yes,
I
just
have
a
motion
speaker
on
this
and
I'm
happy
with
who's
being
put
on
the
board,
but
since
we're
and
I
know,
we
challenged
a
little
bit
with
ensuring
that
our
housing
corporation
is
far
more
aligned
with
the
city
than
in
the
past.
So
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
if
we
had
the
new
members
who
are
going
to
be
on
the
board,
come
in
to
have
a
briefing
from
the
city
about
our
tenants
first
strategy
and
the
related
implementation
reports
and
the
staff
have
written
this.
G
For
me,
I
know
they'll
probably
hear
things
when
they're
on
the
board,
but
it
would
be
helpful
so
that
they
understand
that
as
the
shareholder.
This
is
what
we're
doing
and
they
hear
it
clearly.
So
that
is
just
the
only
thing
I'd
like
to
add
and
approve
the
members.
I
think
they've
done
a
good
job
in
selecting
people
and
that
this
would
be
a
good
thing
to
do
as
well.
Thank
you,
Thank.
H
You
councillor
Fletcher
yeah
any
other
speakers
to
this
item.
Seeing
none
I
think
there
is
that
one
amendment
which
is
on
the
screen,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
that
is
carried
its
item
as
amended.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
that
is
carried
next
item
will
be
members
motions
on
page
three
mm40
1.18
mediation
and
relevant
zoning
bylaw
amendment
25
22
to
25
42
Keele
Street,
moved
by
councillor
Frank
DiGiorgio
seconded
by
Councillor
John
Campbell.
Are
there
any
questions
of
staff
I.
B
H
H
I
A
A
Ahead
question:
so
we
at
the
last
council
meeting,
we
moved
a
couple
of
motions
pertaining
to
this
item
and
which,
after
a
number
of
discussions,
we
worded
the
motions
and
it
was
satisfactory
to
all
the
parties
and
we
we
moved
in.
But
this
motion
here
was
a
community
council
and
we
willed
it
out
of
order.
But
on
this
motion,
can
you
tell
me
if
this
motion
what
this
motion
means?
First
of
all
and
second
of
all,
what
impact
would
it
have
on
city
staff
when
they're
at
the
hearing.
M
The
the
other
thing
I
should
say
about
it,
though,
is
that
the
motion
suggest
that
there
was
something
improper
about
the
approval
of
the
site
plan,
and
in
this
case
there
was
not.
The
site
plan
was
appealed
to
the
board.
The
board
made
a
decision.
Then
staff
prepared
the
site
plan
agreement,
it
was
executed,
it
was
registered
on
title
by
city
staff,
following
which
the
final
order
of
the
OMB
was
issued.
However,
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
That
is
the
normal
process
that
OMB
made
the
decision.
Then
the
site
plan
agreement
was
prepared.
M
A
The
hearing
is
based
on
the
condo
registration
for
the
condo.
That's
correct,
correct
now,
if
if
and
that
hearing
is
in
June-
yes,
okay,
so
by
proving
that,
if
we
approve
this
motion,
it's
actually
going
to
put
the
stop
in
a
position
that
I,
you
know,
the
site
plan
has
been
approved.
So
it's
really
gonna
be
put
the
staff
in
an
awkward
position,
an
embarrassing
position
where
the
site
plan
has
been
approved
in
and
and
this
motion
was
passed
by
Council.
It.
A
N
P
M
K
I,
don't
have
all
the
specifics
in
front
of
me
we're
dealing
with
this
one
single
motion,
the
the
previous
actions
of
counsel,
offered
the
counselor
remedies
to
go
to
the
OMB
to
make
submissions
about
the
condominium
approval,
which
is
currently
before
the
OMB.
The
OMB
has
ruled
on
the
zoning
that
has
dealt
with
parking
matters
through
the
zoning
bylaw
and
it
has
ruled
on
the
site
plan
approval.
K
So
the
only
thing
left
at
the
OMB
is
the
condominium
approval
and
in
the
previous
direction
of
City
Council,
there
were
some
advisories
that
were
included
in
that
recommendation.
That
could,
in
other
words,
some
submissions
that
could
be
make
to
the
board
and
the
board
could
consider
those
in
reference
to
the
condominium
matter.
That
was
in
front
of
it.
So
is.
P
K
P
So
back
to
our
solicitor,
then
I
understand
my
colleagues
frustration,
so
he
doesn't
want
to
allow
the
condominium
to
get
registered,
which
will
allow
I,
guess
the
developer
to
get
out
and
finish
off
his
deal.
Who's
getting
hurt
most
if
we
don't
allow
the
condominium
to
be
registered
the
developer
or
the
purchasers
that
are
still
living
and
I
guess
paying
rent
on
units
that
they
should
have
closed
on
I.
M
P
I
I
And
secondly,
I
expressed,
as
recently
as
this
morning,
a
concern
that,
in
my
view,
a
site
plan
agreement
being
registered
on
title
as
as
a
condition
precedent
the
site
plan
approval
is
different
from
a
site
plan
agreement
registered
on
title
subsequent
the
site
plan
approval
and
it's
my
view
as
I,
expressed
that
I
believe
the
site
plan
agreement
was
wretched,
registered
prior
to
site
plan
approval
by
the
board.
So.
M
I
I
I
Are
you
aware
that
on
April
17th,
one
of
the
recommendations
adopted
by
this
council
was
this
and
I
read
that
city
planning
staff
bring
forward
any
and
all
necessary
changes
to
the
site
plan
agreement
registered
on
title
to
the
next
council
meeting
to
ensure
that
section
six,
a
six
G
of
the
former
North
York
City
bylaw,
was
was
complied
with.
I
know
it's
not
it's
not
a
fair
question.
All
I'm
saying
is
that
report
I
expected
would
be
here.
H
A
Going
to
move
receipt
for
members
account
so,
as
you
know,
we've
been
dealing
with
this
item.
For
four
years
now,
people
moved
in
four
years
ago,
they're
living
in
the
condo
and
every
council
meeting.
When
these
motions
come
forward,
we've
been
approving
them,
we've
been
improving
them
and
at
the
last
council
meeting
we
said
enough
is
enough.
The
problem
is,
is
that
this
is
not
a
my
ward,
but
these
residents
that
live
in
this
condominium
they've
lived
there
for
four
years.
A
First
of
all,
they
can't
even
vote
because
they're
not
registered
they're
calling
all
of
them
are
calling
me
because
they're
frustrated,
because
they
they
can't
get
any
answers
from
the
city
they
have
spoken.
Their
solicitor
has
spoken
to
our
solicitor.
We've
been
trying
to
get
this
through.
The
hearing
is
in
June
enough
is
enough.
We
need
to
deal
with
this.
A
We
can't
keep
delaying
it
and
I
understand
the
frustration
of
the
local
councillor,
but
it's
been
four
years
four
years
you
have
to
result
it
you
have
to
let
it
go
so
I'm
moving
receipt
and
the
only
reason
I'm
moving
bussiness
I'm
here
to
help
the
residents
that
live
in
that
building,
because
we
as
a
council
are
responsible
for
that.
We
can't
just
ignore.
H
A
I
Someone
who
claims
that
they
are
helping
the
residents
in
that
building
I
was
the
one
that
urged
the
building
commissioner
to
allow
people
to
move
into
that
building.
Notwithstanding
that,
there
are
questions
as
to
the
validity
to
that
building.
Permit
that
was
issued.
I
was
the
one
that
said,
please
allow
them
to
move
in.
So
you
tell
me
who's
helping
people.
H
H
I
Let
me
begin
my
comments
with
a
really
a
point
of
privilege.
I
have
a
letter
in
front
of
me
that
I
intend
to
send
to
the
residents
in
that
building
and
it
is
in
the
hands
of
the
integrity
commissioner,
right
now
asking
for
her
input
but
I'm
going
to
read
roughly
the
letter
that
I
intend
to
put
out
now.
There
is
a
communication
that
I
handed
in
to
the
clerk.
That
was
a
letter
that
was
sent
by
visto
condominium
to
all
the
residents
in
the
building.
I
I
asked
to
be
circulated,
I'm
sure
you
don't
have
it
and
so
the
rights
that
most
of
you
have
don't
extend
to
me
when
it
comes
to
you.
Have
it
I'm
sorry
I
apologize
so
there
there
has
been
a
letter
sent
by
visto
condominium
to
all
the
residents
implying
and
alleging
political
interference.
So
here's
my
letter
I
understand
that
residents
in
the
building
have
received
a
communication
from
mr.
column
Vista
condominium,
claiming
a
political
interference
by
Etobicoke
york.
Community
council
resulted
in
the
unfair
treatment
of
vista
condominium.
I
The
purpose
of
community
council
is
to
intervene
and
ensure
that
all
affected
parties
are
treated
fairly,
including
the
new
building
residents.
The
purpose
of
community
council
is
to
ensure
that
any
zoning
bylaw
amendment
that
is
passed
by
council
conforms
with
the
official
plan.
That's
why
we
have
community
councils
and
we
have
community
councils
to
talk
about
fence
exemptions.
We
make
sure
that
people
have
an
opportunity
to
come
to
community
council
to
make
sure
they're
all
fairly
treated.
I
My
community
did
not
have
the
opportunity
for
whatever
reason
of
a
statutory
community
council
meeting
now
bill
139
bill
139.
If
any
of
you
read
it
with
any
great
detail,
basically,
is
a
legal
review
of
what
happened
at
25
22
and
it
basically
tracks
everything
that
happened,
and
it
says
from
here
on
in
bill
139.
I
E
T
I
I
Gonna
be
finished
in
to
150
seconds
less.
There
were
a
number
of
conditions
that
we
imposed
as
a
council,
one
of
which
was
there
shall
be
one
at
least
one
parking
space
dedicated
for
visitors
to
the
building.
During
the
day,
at
least
just
one
was
all
I
asked
for
second
explore
options
so
that
we
can
provide
more
parking
spaces
for
visitors.
Thirdly,
mediation
as
an
alternative
resolution
system
or
mechanism.
Those
were
the
conditions
on
a
personal
note
and
I
end
with
this.
I
On
a
personal
note,
I
want
to
emphasize
that
I
was
instrumental
in
expediting
the
issuance
of
building
permit
to
permit
people
to
move
into
their
units.
I
was
the
one
that
pushed
for
people
to
move
in.
I
was
the
one
that
was
getting
the
calls
and,
in
my
view,
had
the
ordinary,
fair
procedures
in
accordance
with
bill
139
been
followed
by
the
applicant
any
and
all
unnecessary
delays
and
costs
could
have
been
avoided.
There
was
no
need
for
delays.
All
that
had
to
be
done
was
proper
procedures
being
followed.
I
There
are
two
ways
to
get
a
building
permit
through
a
complete
building
permit
system
or
an
complete.
The
complete
building
permit
system
says
here
are
my
plans.
I
want
a
building.
Permit,
give
me
an
unconditional
building.
Permit
I.
Have
these
plans
they've
been
approved
by
the
Ontario
Municipal
Court?
That
is
not
what
happened.
They
went
through.
What's
called
an
incomplete
building
permit
system,
they
said
here
are
my
plans,
but
I
can't
really
get
the
permit.
So
let
me
have
a
conditional
building.
Permit
and
I'll
get
a
permit
after
the
building's
built
and
that's
what
happens.
I
A
I
E
He
has
fought
this
development
since
the
beginning
and
has
always
striven
to
provide
leadership
in
the
community
with
respect
to
this
development
and
all
others.
Yes,
you
can
fault
him
for
being
too
attached
to
the
issue,
but
as
it
happens,
he
was
faced
with
a
lot,
a
myriad
of
problems
that
came
at
him
and
at
the
community,
and
he
did
his
best
to
try
to
mitigate
those
factors.
I
understand
that
some
of
you
are
perhaps
thinking
that.
R
E
But
I
believe
that
he's
doing
that
because
he
cares
so
much
about
the
way
that
this
was
brought
forward
about
the
way
that
some
people
build
without
community
input
and
flagrantly.
Sometimes
you
certainly
can't
fault
him
for
caring
I,
for
one
will
be
supporting
him,
but
I
understand
Speaker.
When
you
spoke
what
you
said
and
the
excellent
questions
that
you
asked.
A
A
A
P
This
item
first
to
inquire
of
staff
as
to
its
nature,
which
they
responded
to
me
and
I
appreciate
and
I
held
it
the
second
time
in
particularly
because
at
the
last
community
council
meeting
in
the
middle
of
a
deputation
from
residents
in
councilor
Burnside's
board,
arguing
over
some
fences.
There
was
an
issue
on
the
agenda
in
regards
to
an
item
in
my
ward
that
councillor
Jillian
didn't
want
to
deal
with.
P
So
you
brought
me,
walked
out,
broke
warm
and
we
couldn't
finish
the
meeting
and
we
waited
as
councillor
Cole
tried
to
rush
back
for
an
event
that
he
had
and
came
in.
I
think
two
minutes
too
late
to
be
there
for
the
official
quorum
as
we
were
on
the
phone
with
him.
So,
unfortunately,
we
didn't
get
to
finish
our
agenda.
Councillor
wong-tam,
when
you
count
the
items
that
we
dealt
with
it
didn't
because
we
had
a
member
that
walked
out
because
he
didn't
want
to
deal
with
something
so
I
felt.
K
A
A
P
The
item
further
to
make
sure
that
councillor
Burnside,
who
suffered
as
I,
did
on
items
and
other
members
of
council
who
couldn't
have
the
right
of
the
finish
at
least
had
the
pleasure
of
making
sure
councillor
Fillion
stated
this
may
be
on
an
item
that
was
of
importance
to
him
and
now
I'm
more
than
happy
to
deal
with
it.
Oh.
P
K
I
know
well,
yeah
just
did
it
it's.
It
doesn't
affect
me
how
this
happens
one
way
or
another,
but
it
certainly
would
have
greatly
an
inconvenience
reow
CAD
if
this
hadn't
gone
through
and
they
were.
You
know
that
I
wasn't
their
biggest
fan
at
first,
but
they
were
absolutely
fantastic
in
negotiating
a
childcare
center
at
a
Family
Resource
Centre,
a
total
of
about
10,000
square
feet
for
99
years.
How
often
do
we
see
that
for
99
years
at
no
cost
to
the
city?
K
No
taxes,
no
nothing
for
99
years,
and
this
if
this
had
been
held
up
or
just
even
holding
this
up
a
day,
delays
their
construction
because
they
had
they
did
their
site
plat
executed.
In
order
to
do
that,
they
had
it
had
to
satisfy
their
section
37.
So
all
this
was
was
something
written
by
the
legal
staff
so
that
the
section
37
was
satisfied
so
that
REO
can
get
their
site
plans.
So
it's
kind
of
unfortunate
that
councillor
Scheider
plays
games
with
that.
Does
it
affect
me,
but
it
does
affect
other
people.
A
P
A
E
A
A
E
A
G
I'd
like
to
ask
council's
indulgence,
please
to
open
TW
29.6
motion
to
a
which
lost,
because
it
didn't
get
2/3
and
I've
spoken
to
a
number
of
counselors
and
I.
Think
they
thought.
I
was
trying
to
restrict
their
ability
rather
than
give
counselors
a
choice
in
their
community
councils
and
I'd
like
to
ask
the
council
to
reopen
that
which
is
on
the
motion.
J
A
A
G
Counselor
Fletcher,
it's
still
there.
The
community
city
council
amend
that
could
seek
counsel
procedures
to
delegate
to
community
councils,
the
authority
to
waive
petition
and
polling
requirements
for
traffic
calming
measures,
and
this
does
not
mean
it
has
to
happen.
It
means
it
allows
for
a
choice
whether
to
do
that
or
not
speaker,
so
to
be
clear.
Okay,.
K
G
C
Can
I
say
well
you're
open
to
amount
of
speaker,
I
look
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
is
deplorable
and
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
most
arrogant
things
we
can
do
as
a
council
to
dismiss
this
notion
of
public
polling.
Look
if
you
read
the
the
2010
policy
on
traffic
calming.
It
explains
why
we
go
through
this
process,
because
it's
one
of
the
steps
of
public
consultation
to
ensure
that
people
that
are
affected
by
any
changes
in
the
in
the
road
environment
around
them
are
adequately
consulted.
C
Then
they
have
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
I
can
understand
why
we
would
be
so
neat
to
rush
to
do
something
and,
at
the
same
token,
dismiss
somebody
that
might
wake
up
one
morning
and
see
road
crews
ripping
up
the
road
in
front
of
their
house
with
no
opportunity
to
have
input
or
very
minimal
opportunity
to
have
input.
So
I
think
you
know.
If
we
head
down
this
path,
we're
gonna
have
an
equally
angry
group
of
people
who
have
been
affected
by
changes
that
have
no
idea
that
they're
coming.
C
We
have
a
process
here
to
deal
with
with
traffic
safety
issues.
We
passed
some
amendments
today
to
take
some
time
off
of
that
and
I
think
there's
further
reports
coming
that
are
going
to
take
even
more
time
off
of
it.
But
right
now
what
we're
doing
is
basically
chopping
out.
A
Democratic
component
of
the
process
go
read
the
the
traffic
calming
policy
there.
It
explains
why
there's
rationale
in
doing
this:
we've
done
it
for
years,
I!
C
Don't
understand
why
we
would
simply
take
it
out,
and
you
know
to
turn
around
and
say:
well,
maybe
we'll
just
do
25%.
That's
a
fraud
if
you're
just
just
to
eliminate
any
public
consultation,
and
just
do
it
in
a
draconian
way
is
what
we're
trying
to
do
right
here,
we're
putting
a
Community
Council
as
judge
and
jury,
and
all
of
this,
and
just
ignoring
the
concerns
of
the
people
in
the
neighborhood.
Look
I
ask
the
general
manager
a
specific
question
about
this:
the
systemic
consideration
of
traffic
in
a
neighborhood.
C
You
make
one
change
and
it
has
an
impact.
You
change
one
Street.
It
can
impact
the
street
beside
it
and,
if
we're
going
to
dismiss
any
impact
of
the
actions
that
we
have,
because
we're
rushing
to
do
something
I
think
that
is
dead
wrong.
We
should
have
that
opportunity
to
consult
through
people
with
people
in
a
structured
way
and
there's
a
good
rationale
to
have
this
in
our
process.
Right
now
and
cutting
out
is
wrong.
Thank.

What's
your
point
aboard
Jerry
Crawford
had
his
environment
day
tonight.
This
was
a
very
important
issue
to
Gary
and
now
we've
reopened
it
and
he
has
no
ability
to
participate
in
this
I
think
that's
completely
inappropriate.
He
stayed
late
and
missed
the
first
half
hour
of
his
Environment
Day
event,
so
he
could
be
part
of
this
debate.
He
voted
on
it
and
now,
an
hour
later,
while
he's
out
his
Environment
Day
event,
which
none
of
us
can
influence
those
calendar
dates,
he
is
not
participating
in
this
process.
K
K
K
N
K
I
think
you
know
out
of
respect
for
residents,
out
of
respect
for
democracy,
out
of
respect
for
people's
viewpoints
about
their
own
neighborhood.
This
is
their
neighborhood
in
their
Street.
I
was
in
a
room
with
with
70
people
who
wanted
traffic
comedy.
We
did
the
poll
it
lost
less
than
50
percent.
Not
me,
60
percent
people
have
accepted
the
results,
that's
the
democratic
process.
This
is
not
particularly
democratic.
This
means
that
a
councilor
with
his
pals
on
community
council
and
that's
the
way
it
works.
K
We
all
support
the
local
councillor
because
nobody
wants
to
be
independent
of
of
everybody
else.
We
support
the
local
councillor.
This
means
this
means
that
a
councillor
can
Ram
these
the
traffic
calming
measures,
not
that
they're,
not
the
traffic
calming
measures
are
bad,
but
it's
against
the
democratic
process.
It's
it's!
It's
it's,
contrary
to
what
our
citizens
expect
of
us,
so
I
I
do
not
support
this.
I
do
support
traffic
calming
measures
where
warranted
and
we're
agreed
to
by
the
population.
G
A
B
Having
said
that,
I
was
supportive
of
councillor
Fletcher's
motion
before
and
I
would
like
to
remain
supportive
of
that,
and
part
of
it
is
because
of
just
of
the
the
actual.
It's
the
flip
side
of
the
argument
that
councillor
Campbell
just
made.
The
the
our
polling
system
is
just
inaccurate.
You
get
polls
that
come
in
and,
like
I've,
been
at
an
old
house
old
house.
J
I
would
like
to
just
say:
counselor
Kerry
Janice,
actually
is
the
genesis
of
this
of
this
report
and
he's
not
in
the
chamber
and
not
here
to
participate
in
it.
So
again,
I
want
to
express
my
concern
about
what
just
happened
here
in
the
chamber
that
we
reopened
an
item
and
I'm
certainly
going
to
use
this
strategy
going
forward
on
other
motions
and
other
items
that
when
I
don't
like
the
outcome,
I
will
simply
reopen
them
and
ask
to
reopen
them
a
couple
hours
later,
with
different
makeup
into
chambers.
J
So
I'm
very
disappointed
to
see
this
I
have
to
say
I'm
voting
against
it
just
on
principle
alone
and
the
way
this
has
been
maneuvered
and
dealt
with,
because
it's
it's
highly
inappropriate.
So
as
much
as
I'd
like
to
support
it
I'll
be
voting
against.
This
I
also
believe
deeply
and
public
consultation
Iran
on
on
civic
engagement
and
public
consultation
and
to
me
the
more
the
merrier
do
we
have
to
streamline
it.
Do
we
have
to
fast-track
this?
Absolutely
it
has
to
be
done
more
effectively
and
efficiently,
but
I
do
think.
