Good
morning,
everyone
good
morning
so
we'll
just
bring
to
order
the
meeting
number
19
of
the
Toronto
accessibility,
Advisory
Committee
I,
would
like
to
begin
our
meeting
by
acknowledging
that
we
are
gathered
here
on
the
traditional
territories
of
indigenous
people
who
have
occupied
and
been
stewards
of
the
land
for
thousands
of
years,
and
the
people
who've
been
here
before
us
have
been
the
Huron.
When
debt,
the
holder
shown
a
and
most
recently
the
Mississauga's
of
the
new
credit
I
want
to.
B
As
we
begin
all
our
meetings
by
just
recognizing
those
who
are
in
the
room,
especially
those
who
are
sitting
around
the
horseshoe
as
committee
members
and
today
we
are
very
pleased
to
be
joined
by
two
new
members
and
you'll
get
a
chance
to
meet
them
very
soon,
because
they're
gonna
have
a
moment
to
introduce
themselves.
But
if
I
can
just
ask
that
we
begin
by
just
recognizing
that
we're
here
and
start
with
our
names
and
our
and
our
titles,
so
I'm
Kristyn,
wong-tam
city,
councilor
and
the
chair
of
this
committee
and
to
my
right
I'm.
C
Q
B
That
was
Lynn
wonderful.
Thank
you
very
much.
Everyone.
Thank
you
for
the
at
the
time
for
the
introductions.
We
are
on
the
the
Grodin
rod
sheets
for
the
members
that
are
here
and
we
will
begin
by
asking
if
there
are
any
declarations
of
interest
under
the
municipal
conflict
of
interest
Act.
Seeing
none
can
I.
Please

Thank
you.
B
I
recognize
that
there
may
be
some
speakers
on
some
of
the
items
we'll
go
through
that
as
we
review
the
order
paper.
So
the
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
di
19.1,
which
is
the
chairs
report
and
we're
going
to
hold
that
down,
because
I
will
come
back
to
deliver
some
remarks.
Di
19.2
is
the
Toronto
accessibility,
Advisory
Committee
of
working
groups.
We're
also
going
to
hold
that
down
means.
There
will
be
a
verbal
report
backs
from
the
committee
members.
D
19.3
is
a
2018
election
accessibility
plan.
B
We're
gonna
hold
that
for
staff
presentations
di
19-point,
for
improving
accessibility
in
shelters
again,
we'll
hold
that
for
staff
presentations,
di
19.5

we'll

we'll
hold

We

di

Toronto
City
of
Toronto
corporate
accessibility
policy,
and
there
is
a
suggested
recommendation
that
we
adopt
the
recommendations
in
the
report.
Are
there
any?
B
Is
there?
Are
there
any
ones
who
wish
to
hold
this
particular
item?
And
if
there
are
none?
If
there's
no
questions
of
staff,
we
could
probably
proceed
with
it.
Oh
I'm,
sorry
I've
just
been
notified
by
clerk
that
we
have
a
deputation.
That's
that
Beaton
that's
registered
to
speak,
so
we're
gonna
hold
that
down
to
hear
from
the
speaker,
then
moving
along
di
19.9
accessibility
during
construction,
Eglinton
crosstown,
light
rail
transit
and
there
is
a
suggestion
from
one
of
the
transportation
working
groups.
The
recommendation
see.
B
The
recommendation
is
that
we
adopt
the
recommendations
in
the
letter.
Is
there
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
to
that
item,
or
perhaps
we
may
hear
from
the
transportation
group
in
reference
to
that?
If
not,
we
can
move
to
adopt
the
recommendations
and
the
letter
now
I
should
we
hold
that
down
or
move
to
adopt?
B
Okay,
so
Monica
is
moving
to
adopt
the
19.9
all
those
in
favor
any
opposed
that
carries
okay,
great
and
we
do
have
a
request
to
add
one
new
item
of
business
to
the
agenda,
and
many
of
you
would
have
received
this
last
night
by
email.
It's
from
the
it's
around
the
real
trends
appeals
of
process
can
I.
Please
have
a
motion
to
add
this
new
business
to
the
agenda.
Thank
you
very
much,
Wendy,
all
those
in
favor
any
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you.
B
You
will
be
very
impressed
with
their
credentials
and
we're
very,
very
pleased
to
have
you
join
this
particular
committee
for
the
balance
of
the
term
I'm,
going
to
open
the
floor
and
invite
Michael
as
well
as
Glen,
to
just
give
us
a
quick
introduction
to
yourself.
I
thought
it'd
be
best
if
you
said
in
your
own
words
Michael.
You
want
to
go
first.
G
Hi
everyone
I'm
Michael,
Miceli
I'm
generally,
a
man
of
few
words
I
hold
a
master's
degree
in
critical
disability
studies
from
York
University
and
my
focus
of
research
was
primarily
prenatal.
Genetic
testing
and
the
social
and
legal
implications
for
people
with
disabilities
and
I'm
glad
to
be
part
of
the
committee.
K
Everyone,
as
you
just
heard,
my
name,
is
Glen.
I
work
in
the
HIV
sector
here
in
the
city
was
supportive
housing
for
people
living
with
HIV
and,
in
many
cases
with
some
other
more
invisible
disabilities,
such
as
mental
health
and
addiction,
and
I'm,
so
honored
and
proud
to
be
here
as
somebody
of
more
of
a
frontline
worker.
Someone
who
also
lives
with
HIV
concurrent
mental
health
challenges
from
time
to
time,
I'm
glad
to
be
here
to
represent
those
with
disabilities
that
are
not
always
seen
as
disability.
Okay,.
B
Thank
you
very
much
and
welcome
big
welcome
to
both
Michael
Glen,
we're
very,
very
excited
for
your
participation.
So
just
going
through
the
chairs
report,
I'm
gonna
try
to
get
through
this
very
quickly
and
I
apologize.
This
one's
probably
one
of
my
longer
chairs
report,
but
that's
because
we've
had
a
big
break
in
there's
been
a
lot
of
activities.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
what
we've
been
up
to
and
what
my
office
has
been
up
to.
The
accessibility
parking
permit
issue.
Many
of
you
have
been
following
those
discussions.
B
I
have
been
in
conversation
with
Minister
Tracy,
k---mart,
McCarl
cz's
office
and
including
a
meeting
that's
going
to
be
set
up
with
the
Minister
herself
and
just
as
a
reminder:
she's
the
Minister
of
government
and
consumer
services
and
she's.
Also
the
minister
responsible
for
accessibility
and
just
by
way
of
background,
the
the
early.
B
The
staff
will
be
reporting
back
in
the
next
terms,
as
the
city
staff
regarding
the
changes
that
are
being
made
provincially
to
the
permit
system
and
Toronto
will
need
to
consider
how
to
update
our
program
so
that
it
can
address
those
existing
concerns,
and
those
concerns,
of
course,
are
the
abuse
of
the
permit
program,
including
perhaps
fraudulent
use
of
the
permits.
So
the
sidewalk
for
all's
update,
many
of
you
were
active
and
involved
with
that
campaign.
B
We
are
trying
to
set
out
new
regulations
in
the
city
on
how
wide
those
sidewalk
a
minimum
width
should
be
in
terms
of
the
pedestrian
clearway.
There
is
a
report
back
from
the
staff
that
will
be
in
the
new
term
of
council
I
think,
what's
not
clear
right
now,
as
the
chair
as
we
try
to
chase
this
particular
file
down
that
the
City
Hall
corridors
is.
When
will
the
report
be
coming
back?
There
has
been
a
request
from
the
st.
B
Lawrence
neighborhood
association,
who
was
very
active
in
the
sidewalks
for
all
coalition,
who
is
interested
in
asking
the
executive
committee
to
to
request
and
direct
staff
to
set
up
a
specific
report
back
date,
so
we're
not
going
to
be
languishing
on
and
on
and
on
without
any
any
any
final
report
date
and
they're.
Also
in
requesting
that
the
study
staff
utilize
the
summer
months
to
investigate
the
items
are
requested
in
the
December
4th
meeting,
which
is
the
meeting
that
ended
up
deferring
this
report
out
into
the
future.
So
I
will
most
likely
be
moving.
B
Emotions
specifically
from
this
committee
to
respond
to
the
st.
Lawrence
neighborhood
association
to
do
just
that.
There
is
upcoming
consultations
that
you
should
all
be
aware
of,
and
the
first
one
is
regarding
the
poverty
reduction
strategy,
and
there
will
be
a
presentation
to
our
committee,
the
staff
on
since
March,
the
12th
they've
been
holding
panel
discussions
related
to
poverty
reduction.
There's
a
city
staff.
B
The
next
session
is
Tuesday
April,
the
23rd,
the
topic
I
know
is
of
great
interest
of
many
of
you
is
housing,
stability,
the
location
and
time
is
City
Hall
in
the
Rotunda,
between
6
to
9
p.m.
please
RSVP.
For
this
event
and
to
request
a
child
minding
or
ASL,
interpretation
and
staff
will
be
here,
city
staff
will
be
here
to
report
to
this
committee
in
June.
B
Teal
Corps
is
also
putting
together
the
final
open
house
and,
of
course
the
large
downtown
waterfront
secondary
plan
is
a
very
important
document
and
Tia
Cora
is
the
initiative
to
prepare
prayer
that
new
plan
for
downtown
Toronto,
in
addition
to
a
series
of
five
infrastructure,
related
strategies
that
have
been
developed
to
implement
the
plan
over
the
the
categories
of
community
facilities,
parks
and
public
realm
mobility,
energy
and
water.
Those
have
been
the
core
issues
and
the
focus
of
the
teal
core
review.
B
This
new
downtown
secondary
plan
is
a
25-year
vision
that
sets
out
the
direction
for
the
city
as
a
cultural,
Civic,
retail
and
economic
heart
of
Toronto,
and
also
a
wonderful
place,
a
great
place
to
live.
The
teal
core
secondary
plan
hopes
to
direct
where
appropriate
scale
and
growth
will
go
into
the
future
to
ensure
that
Toronto
continues
to
build
complete
neighborhoods.
So
there
isn't
a
proposed
amendment
to
the
Official
Plan.
This
is
a
very
big
undertaking.
It's
significant.
B
B
If
you
want
to
come
out
to
speak
in
support
of
teal,
core
and
and
because
accessibility
and
mobility
is
a
big
piece
of
it,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
stays
in
there
and
makes
it
to
the
final
outcome.
Changing
lanes.
There's
a
laneway
housing
report
there's
an
opportunity
for
you
to
provide
some
input.
This
is
going
to
the
may
2nd
TYC
see
agenda.
B
The
report
recommends
the
official
planning
zoning
bylaw
amendments
specific
to
the
Toronto
and
East
York
area
to
permit
laneway
housing,
so
this
will
be
secondary,
subordinate
and
accessory
rental
dwellings,
which
will
be
on
the
same
lot
as
an
existing
house,
and
there
is
an
official
plan
amendment
that
will
be
attached
and-
and
a
few
points
that
are
of
noted
interest
to
this
committee
is
that
the
laneway
Suites
are
intended
to
contribute
to
the
increasing
supply
of
rental
housing
in
the
city's
neighborhoods.
I
know
that's
a
big
issue
for
us.
B
The
proposed
amendments
will
help
implement
recent
provincial
direction
to
support
the
construction
of
secondary
units.
There
has
been
a
significant
interest
in
the
public
about
laneways
Suites
into
the
community
and
several
large
format.
Community
meetings
have
been
hosted.
City
staff
have
spent
time
with
individual
residents
associations
to
help
with
the
development
of
these
amendments.
A
pilot
project
is
proposed
to
incentivize
up
to
twenty
laneways
suites
as
affordable
rental
and
in
the
City
of
Vancouver,
which
is
years
ahead
of
us.
With
respect
to
this
particular
subject.
B
They
have
demonstrated
that
it
can
be
done
larger
citywide,
why?
This
is
of
interest
to
us
is
that
if
these
laneway
suites
are
created
and
accommodated,
we
of
course
hope
that
they
will
be
built
with
all
the
physical
accessibility
accommodations,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
voices
are
heard
there
and
and
finally,
there
is
a
probably
information
that
would
be
of
interest
to
the
committee
still
and
that
this
report
speaks
to
and
that's
again
the
laneway
piece
that
speaks
to
a
new
grade
related
laneway
suites.
B
That
can
be
more
easily
and
cost-effectively
designed
to
meet
the
building
code
criteria.
So
all
the
times
that
developers
and
homeowners
and
building
owners
have
said
its
cost
prohibitive,
it
can't
be
done.
Here's
a
opportunity
to
layer
an
additional
assess,
accessibility
lens
over
something
the
city
is
actively
pursuing,
and
this,
of
course
will
demonstrate
that
construction
can
be
and
it
can
be
cost-effective
and
it
will
meet
the
building
codes,
barrier-free
requirements
and
that
will
then
of
course
translate
and
and
it
can
be
transferred
to
other
homes,
primary
homes
as
well.
B
F
Similarly,
I
would
really
like
to
support,
as
you
mentioned,
that
bringing
in
the
poverty
reduction
strategy
people
to
come
in
for
sure
in
June
meeting,
because
we
don't
know
what
will
happen
after
that
and
as
I
understand
it
they
have
already.
You
know
most
of
their
meetings
are
done
and
and
I
sense
that
there
has
been
very
little
consideration
of
the
disability.
Community
and
I
was
really
disappointed
in
that
the
very
first
one
on
employment,
where
they
thought.
F
There's
an
extensive
initiative,
called
the
community
benefits
and
and
we're
you
know,
construction
project
supported
by
the
city
such
as
Metrolinx
possible
of
U
of
T
scarper
campus
I,
just
don't
see
any
any
panel
of
the
you
know.
Partnerships
have
any
consideration
for
the
disability
community.
So
similarly
you
know
transportation,
housing
and,
and
the
service
coordination
all
these
areas.
F
We
have
not
really
given
an
input,
so
it's
very
important
that
they
do
come
in
next
next
meeting
and
to
the
last
point
about
the
laneway
Suites
I,
don't
know
how
all
the
details
and
I
don't
know
this.
This
they're
reporting
to
what
is
it
May
first,
you
said:
I
I,
wonder
it.
Would
it
be
easier
if
they
come
in
also
to
our
meeting
in
June
to
explain
to
us
the
accessibility
components
of
this
initiative.
H
B
B
That's
the
meeting
that
is
the
meeting
date.
Okay,
you
can
also,
and
we'll
also
send
you
the
contact
information
to
a
Senior,
Planner
who's
actually
drafting
the
report.
His
name
is
Craig
you
EWTN's
and
greg
is
the
is
the
primary
contact
we're
changing
lanes
so
we'll
make
sure
all
that
information
is
is
sent
out
to
the
committee
members.
Thank.
B
And
again,
with
respect
to
the
motion
around
accelerating
the
work
or
requesting
staffed,
accelerating
the
work
on
on
sidewalks
for
all,
we
will
move
that
motion
when
we
hit
when
we
come
to
item
number
seven.
Okay,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
the
indulgence
of
time.
That
was
probably
one
of
the
longest
reports.
I've
had
sorry
go
ahead.
Sorry.
E
E
There
seems
to
be
very
little
kind
of
cross
consideration
between
the
committee
and
the
poverty
reduction
strategy
today
and
I
really
think
that
the
input
from
this
committee
considering
the
poverty
it's
the
people
with
disabilities
are
living
with,
would
be
quite
important.
So
I
just
wanted
to
raise
that
and
make
sure
we
could
address
that
ya.
B
Know
and
absolutely
it
is
important
just
just
by
way
of
clarification.
The
city
staff
who
are
tasked
with
that
report
will
be
presenting
and
coming
before,
our
committee
at
our
June
meeting
yeah,
so
they
will
be
here.
If
there
are
no
other
questions
or
comments,
then
I
will
move
that
we
adopt
this
chairs
report.
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
any
post
that
carries.
Thank
you.
So
now,
we'll
head
over
to
the
working
group
report
backs.
J
B
E
We
will
we
have
been
trying
to
me
in
fact,
just
speaking
from
my
own
perspective,
we
we
have
I've
reviewed.
We
have
sort
of
individually
reviewed
the
presentation
that
we
were
given.
We
do
actually
still
think
that
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
have
not
been
addressed
or
answered
in
that
presentation
and
at
the
last
meeting
we
did
pass
that
motion
that
asked
for
them
to
consult
with
us
before
anything
moves
forward.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
working
with
HR
on
that.
Okay.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Wendy
the
housing
working
group
and
Terry
Lynn
is
our
lead.
I
also
recognize
that
Joe
is
here
and
as
well
as
Rehema
I
have
some
remarks
from
Terry
Lynn.
Is
there
anything
I
could
read
it
and
there's
anything,
that's
missing.
You
can
also
add
to
it.
Should
we
do
that?
Okay,
so
the
housing
working
group
is
looking
to
have
four
additional
members
to
join
the
team.
H
H
So
the
motion
that
we
already
passed
was
really
the
only
thing
that
was
discussed
at
our
meeting,
our
most
recent
meeting,
and
but
things
have
come
up
since
then
on
Monday
there
was
a
wheel
trans
10-year
strategy,
meeting
for
stakeholders
and
I
thought
it
went
very
well.
They
have
some
very
interesting
ideas
coming
up
and
I
know
that
there's
a
motion
coming:
oh,
no!
That's
for
the
appeals
process.
I
would
love
to
have
them
come
in
and
do
a
presentation
to
us
because
there's
a
lot
of
good
information
in
here
and
I.
H
Don't
think
we
have
a
lot
of
time
for
me
to
go
through
it
all.
But
basically
the
important
bits
is
that
there's
been
marked
increase
in
usage.
The
family
of
services
pilot
has
coming
to
an
end
and
they're
preparing
to
introduce
it
more
extensively
on
to
the
fixed
TTC
system.
The
pilot
apparently
went
very
well
and
it
will.
They
had
said
very
very
firmly
in
the
meeting
that
it
will
not
be
mandatory.
H
They
are
working
on
a
revision
of
several
policies
and
introducing
new
policies
which
we
all
stood
up
and
for
because
the
policies
are
outdated
and
the
biggest
change
that
you
will
recognized
if
you
use
wheel
trans
is
the
cancellation
policy
changes
and
that
has
been
very
well
received
and
has
made
it
less.
There
they're
coming
from
a
non
penalizing
system
to
a
flexible
system
to
help
people
out
and
their
thing
new
things
that
are
being
introduced.
H
This
spring,
sometimes
I'll
say
up
to
June
21st
they're,
introducing
a
new
telephone
system
which
will
decrease
the
waiting
time
they're,
offering
a
callback
option
where
you
don't
have
to
sit
on
the
phone
for
a
half
an
hour
which
I
did
yesterday.
So
you
can
actually
go
on
about
your
business
and
not
worry
about
being
tied
to
the
phone
and
they
are
looking
at
mobile
options
for
scheduling
there.
That's
coming
2019
--is--
time,
I
know,
there's
been
some
complaints
about
the
new
vehicles.
H
H
So
basically,
the
most
important
stuff
is
that
this
year,
their
focus
is
on
new
policies
and
telephone
system
and
travel
training,
which
is
a
pilot
they're
trying
to
try
and
teach
people
how
to
use
the
system
on
a
one-to-one
or
group
basis,
which
is
awesome
in
2019
they're,
going
to
consider
continued
modernization
of
the
scheduling
system
and
such
in
2020
there.
That's
when
they're
hoping
to
be
fully
integrated
with
the
fixed
route
TTC,
which
is
the
family
of
services.
So
that's
that
that
goal
and
then
obviously
in
2025,
the
do
to
the
AODA.
H
The
community
bus
people
will
be
there.
The
community
bus
is
very
little-known
in
in
the
city,
and
it
needs
to
be
known
more.
It's
designed
around
they've
looked
at
the
map
of
Toronto,
based
on
where
older
people
live,
so
retirement,
housing,
etc,
etc,
and
they
develop
routes
where
the
bus
runs
every
hour.
And
will
you
just
have
to
flag
it
down?
It
costs
a
TTC
fare.
H
So
if
you've
metro
pass
or
if
you
have
a
token
or
a
ticket
or
whatever-
and
it
stops
at
the
doors
of
shopping,
centers,
doctors,
offices,
hospitals
and
some
seniors
homes,
so
it's
meant
to
be
more
of
a
neighborhood
system.
There
are
five
in
place
right
now
to
have
been
piloted
to
be
extended,
one
is
in
East
York,
the
other
one
is
up
in
its
hobo
Co
and
there'll
be
lots
of
information
given
by
that.
H
So
the
next
meetings
there's
one
there's
fort
and
unfortunately
the
one
downtown
was
last
night
so
but
Etobicoke
is
on
April
24th
Scarborough
is
on
April
25th
North
York
has
both
an
afternoon
and
an
evening
on
April,
30th
and
I.
Don't
know
how
to
get
this
I
believe
this
is
somewhere
on
the
website.
I'm,
not
sure,
but
it
was
also
sent
to
all
of
us
by
email,
this
little
flyer
and
they
that's.
Where
you'll
see
the
full
presentation.
H
One
other
thing
that
Terri
Lynne
asked
me
to
bring
forward
is
just
to
make
sure
that
everybody
is
aware
that
the
city
of
Toronto's,
fair,
pass
discount
program
for
the
TTC
isn't
in
place,
and
if
you
go
on
the
City
of
Toronto
website,
it's
a
slash,
transit
discount
and
on
the
TTC
website.
It's
fair
pass
discount
program,
and
apparently
there
are
massive
reductions
for
people
who
are,
who
don't
have
a
lot
of
money
but
require
the
services
of
the
tdz.
H
B
Thank
you
very
much
Monica
for
all
your
work
in
the
work
of
the
committee.
The
next
working
group
is
a
disability
and
policing
working
group
and
our
lead.
There
is
teri
Lynne
and
I
also
recognize
that
teri
Lynne
had
initiated
a
conversation
which
hasn't
gone
too
far,
but
I
think
you
probably
know
that.
There's
an
interest
in
planning
a
disability
and
policing
forum
hot
issue,
a
very
important
issue,
one
issue
that
this
group
will
not
shy
away
from
and
I,
don't
believe
there
has
been
an
adequate
space
or
forum
convened
for
that
honest
dialogue.
B
So
that's
something
that
that
teri
Lynne
and
her
working
group
is
interested
in
working
on
and
I
will
pledge
my
support
as
the
chair
to
provide
some
resources
to
make
that
happen
so
stay
tuned
for
that
one.
So
those
are
the
the
reports
from
all
the
different
working
groups
can
I
get
a
motion
to
receive
it
for
information
Glen.
Thank
you
all.
Those
in
favor
any
opposed
that
carries
wonderful.
So
now
we're
heading
to
di
19.3,
2018
election
accessibility
plan
I
think
we
could
probably
hear
from
the
deputy
first.
G
C
C
It
was
a
very
busy
location
with
a
lot
of
people
and
at
the
end
of
the
night
we
had
a
lineup
going
all
the
way
around
the
inside
of
Metro
Hall,
and
the
biggest
problem
was
some
of
it
and
I
heard
from
a
lot
of
my
friends
who
either
worked
the
election
or
actually
went
out
to
vote,
who
were
in
wheelchairs
and
legally
blind
and
servant.
People
with
service
dogs
and
the
biggest
complaint
I've
heard
is
that
there
were
certain
poll
clerks
that
wouldn't
deal
with
people
with
Guide
Dogs.
That
was
one
thing.
C
I
was
hearing,
especially
in
Scarborough,
and
we
had
that
problem
at
our
location
as
well.
At
one
point
number
two
is
that
the
accessible
entrances
to
some
locations
either
we're
not
properly
signed
or
the
buttons
we're
not
working
or
had
not
been
turned
on.
I
know
at
Metro
Hall.
There
are
two
entrances.
C
But
the
other
thing
is
I
want
to
work
for
the
elections
and
I
want
to
do
accessibility
stuff
again,
but
the
one
problem
I'm.
Having
is
that
some
of
the
staff
at
the
that
are
working
at
the
the
advanced
voting
day?
Some
of
the
people
that
are
working
those
days-
and
this
is
one
problem
that
we
had
with
a
couple
of
my
friends
in
Scarborough
who
are
deafblind-
they
actually
could
not
vote
on
their
own.
C
They
had
to
get
the
Dro
to
help
them,
because
the
magnifiers
that
are
used
are
not
strong
enough
for
something
visually
impaired.
But
the
other
problem
is
some
of
the
Braille.
That's
being
used.
The
paper
Braille
is
being
crushed,
so
what
I
mean
by
that
and
Darren
will
know
exactly
what
I
mean
is
when
you
print
Braille
on
a
Braille
printer,
there's
only
a
certain
raised
dot
and
it's
easily
crushable,
where
you
can't
feel
the
dots
very
well
so
you'll
feel
part
of
the
Braille
and
part
of
you.
C
B
A
So
good
morning,
everyone,
my
name-
is
Fiona
Murray
and
I'm-
the
deputy
city,
clerk
of
Elections
and
I'm
here
today
with
two
of
my
colleagues
Carol
bogan,
M
and
John
Moraga
Lea,
and
we're
very
pleased
to
be
here
to
talk
about
our
accessibility
plan
for
the
2018
election
before
I
start.
My
presentation
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
some
of
the
concerns
that
the
deaf
hadn't
raised.
A
We
weren't
aware
of
some
of
those
so
now
that
we
are
I'll,
certainly
make
sure
that
we
address
those
and
I
think
you
know
in
terms
of
the
big
eyed
dogs
at
polling
stations,
I
think
that
becomes
a
bit
of
a
training
issue.
We
have
to
hire
almost
18,000
election
staff
for
Election
Day,
so
we
do
almost
1,200
training
programs
through
two
and
a
half
month
period
of
time.
A
So
we'll
make
sure
that
we
really
stress
that
and
the
crush
Braille
makes
sense
to
me
and
we
leave
so
many
supplies
that
we
have
to
receive
and
distribute
to
so
many
locations.
I
can
totally
understand
that
that
could
get
crushed
at
time,
so
we'll
make
sure
that
we
transport
those
in
a
better
way.
The
magnifiers
we've
been
looking
at
some
better
magnifiers
for
2018,
so
my
hope
is
that
they
would
be
stronger
to
address
the
concern
you
raised
and
then
the
buttons
not
being
turned
on
again.
That
should
never
have
happened.
A
So
I'm
happy
that
you've
raised
that
with
us
today.
So
before
I
started.
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
guys
a
little
bit
of
context
of
the
breadth
and
scope
of
Toronto
selection,
we're
the
fourth
largest
municipal
election
in
North
America,
we're
just
behind
Mexico
City,
Los
Angeles
in
New
York,
and
we're
larger
than
nine
out
of
our
13
provinces
and
territories.
A
So
one
of
the
most
important
priorities
of
our
city
clerk
is
making
our
elections
accessible,
and
that's
been
one
of
her
priorities
for
a
number
of
years,
and
we've
worked
diligently
over
the
last
three
to
four
elections:
to
really
look
at
reducing
and
addressing
barriers
to
voting
for
people
with
disabilities
in
2010,
the
MEA.
For
the
first
time
required
clerks
across
Ontario
to
prepare
a
formalized
plan
around
identifying
removing
barriers
and
making
that
available
to
the
public
before
Election
Day.
A
This
is
our
third
accessibility
plan
and
I
understand
that
we
presented
to
this
committee
in
2013
around
our
plan
for
2014,
so
we
posted
our
plan
on
our
website
last
week.
It's
available
and
I
think
there's
a
link
in
the
presentation
right
at
the
bottom
of
this
slide,
and
our
plan
is
essentially
are
really
it's
a
living
and
breathing
document
that
we're
constantly
looking
at
improving
and
asking
people
to
provide
input
on
so
I
would
really
encourage
everybody
to
go.
A
Take
a
look
and
if
you've
got
any
input
for
us,
we're
certainly
open
to
hearing
that.
So
today,
I'm
going
to
provide
a
really
quick
overview
of
our
plan.
It's
kind
of
organized
into
six
key
areas:
consultations,
communication
and
information,
voting,
places,
voting
options,
assistance
to
candidates
and
accessible
customer
service,
so
the
first
area
public
consultation.
We
really
recognize
the
importance
and
value
of
having
a
really
collaborative
process
and
we've
developed
a
variety
of
mechanisms
in
order
to
do
that.
A
One
of
our
key
mechanisms
is
our
accessibility,
outreach
network
and
that
network
network
has
over
60
members,
including
people
with
disabilities,
accessibility
advocates
and
representatives
from
a
variety
of
community
organizations,
and
they
really
allow
us
to
tap
in
and
get
first-hand
real
lived
experience
with
the
electoral
process
to
help
us
identify
where
those
very
barriers
exist
so
that
we
can
address
them.
They
also
help
us
reach
people
from
diverse
disabilities.
They
disseminate
our
information
around
how
to
vote
where
to
vote
employment
opportunities
cetera
in
2015.
A
We
also
developed
three
working
groups
to
do
a
bit
of
a
deeper
dive
into
some
of
the
issues
that
we
were
hearing
about
in
order
that
we
could
collaborate
with
them
on
ways
that
we
could
address
the
issues
and
help
us
better
meet
the
objectives
of
our
plan.
We
also
sometimes
conduct
special
consultations.
So,
to
give
you
an
example
of
that
for
the
2018
election,
we've
done
a
really
deep
dive
on
our
ballot
and
we're
looking
at
redesigning
it.
A
For
the
2018
election,
we
held
a
number
of
focus
groups
with
people
with
disabilities
and
disability
organizations
to
get
some
input
and
feedback
on
how
to
design
and
improve
the
access
of
it.
Then
we
heard
an
accessibility
consultant
who
also
took
a
look
and
give
us
some
feedback.
So
my
hope
is
that
our
ballot
is
improved
in
terms
of
meeting
the
needs
of
people
with
diverse
disabilities,
communication
and
information.
A
So
we
try
to
provide
our
election
information
in
a
wide
variety
of
formats
to
ensure
that
we're
meeting
diverse
audiences,
so
that
includes
our
website:
mail
outs,
radio,
YouTube
videos,
the
internet,
digital
boards,
newspapers
and
recently
we
have
also
started
to
do
some
podcasts,
such
as
the
accessible
media
incorporated.
We
leverage
our
partnerships
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
information
is
disseminated
widely
and
can
reach
a
range
of
people
with
disabilities
across
the
city.
A
We
also
do
train
the
trainer
stall
presentations
to
community
organizations
that
provide
services
to
people
with
disabilities
so
that
they
can
then
train
their
participants
in
a
style
that
meets
their
needs.
We
do
a
whole
bunch
of
outreach
at
events.
We
do
try
to
focus
on
events
that
have
an
accessibility
focus
so,
for
example,
the
people
in
motion
exhibit
which
is
tailored
to
people
with
disabilities
and
Mayfest,
which
is
a
an
exhibit
that
focuses
on
services
for
people
that
are
deaf
the
my
vote.
A
Application
were
quite
excited
about,
so
my
vote
is
an
online
tool
that
we
launched
on
May
1st
when
nominations
open,
and
it
enables
people
to
put
their
address
in
the
application
and
then
find
out
where
their
voting
places,
what
kind
of
accessibility
measures
are
available
for
them.
The
list
of
candidates
in
their
Ward
that
are
running
as
well
as
later
in
I
think
September.
We
post
the
ballot
there
so
that
people
can
take
a
look
at
the
ballot
and
really
get
familiar
with
how
to
fill
it
out
properly.
A
So
the
the
my
vote
is
really
kind
of
a
one-stop
shop
for
people
to
access
everything
they
need
to
know
about
the
electoral
process,
and
it
also
helps
that
you
don't
have
to
rely
on
the
voter
information
cards
so
for
people
that
don't
have
sight,
you
get
a
voter
information
card
in
the
mail
and
you
feel
it,
and
you
know
you
probably
throw
it
out
as
a
flier.
So
we
recognize
that
and
we're
really
trying
to
provide
some
alternative
formats
in
terms
of
candidates.
A
So
we
have
resources
available
for
candidates
that
are
running
in
the
election
that
have
disabilities.
We
make
sure
all
of
our
information
sessions
are
in
accessible
spaces.
We
include
an
accommodation
statement
in
all
of
our
communications,
so
if
they
need
any
accommodation,
we're
happy
to
provide
that
and
then
the
other
thing
that
we
do.
That's
really
important
for
me
is
not
withstanding
that
the
legislation
doesn't
require
candidates
to
provide
accessible
campaigns.
We
really
and
encourage
them
to
do
so.
A
So
voting
places
so
each
voting
place
we
inspect
multiple
times,
sometimes
we'll
go
early
in
an
inspector
voting
place
and
it
appears
accessible
and
then
six
months
later,
we'll
visit
it
again
and
buttons
will
be
broken
or
construction
will
be
underway
that
we're
not
aware
of
so.
We
do
multiple
inspections
of
our
voting
places,
we're
expecting
for
the
2018
election
to
have
probably
about
750
voting
places.
So
it's
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
for
us
to
identify
and
retain
and
inspect
all
of
those
locations
across
Toronto
and
when
we
do
an
accessibility
inspection.
A
We
look
at
like
parking
the
route
of
travel,
slope,
elevators,
accessibility,
buttons,
all
of
those
considerations
and
where
we
can
we
identify
where
there
may.
There
may
be
some
minor
modifications
we
can
make
to
make
that
space
more
accessible,
so,
for
example,
putting
in
temporary
ramps,
better
signage
or
an
accessibility
or
information
officer
to
assist
people
to
take
elevators
or
open
doors.
Where
needed.
A
We
also
post
our
list
of
voting
places
usually
early
in
the
fall
so
that
the
public
has
the
ability
to
take
a
look
at
where
voting
places
will
be
and
provide
us
any
feedback.
They
have
around
concerns
related
to
a
voting
place,
including
access
issues
accessible
customer
service.
So
we
make
accessibility,
a
mandatory
component
of
all
of
our
training
for
our
18,000
voting
play
staff,
and
we
really
put
an
emphasis
on
accessibility
and
again
we're
gonna,
make
sure
that
we
emphasize
seeing-eye
dogs
or
support
animals
that
they
are
absolutely
allowed
in
voting
places.
A
We
also
proactively
recruit
people
with
disabilities
to
actually
assist
us
to
do
that
training
so
that
our
electoral
staff
get
to
hear
firsthand
lived
experience
with
people
who
are
experienced
barriers
to
the
democratic
process.
We
have
a
dedicated
accessibility,
email
and
phone
line,
and
we
also
produce
our
voter
assist,
terminal,
instructional
videos
and
demo
equipment
at
so
that
people
understand
how
to
use
the
bat
which
I'm
going
to
talk
about
in
a
moment
so
for
voting
options.
A
We
we
over
the
years,
have
tried
to
identify
and
implement
a
variety
of
supports
to
assist
people
with
disabilities.
So
we
have
a
voter
assist
terminal
during
the
election
in
each
word
of
the
city,
and
it
essentially
is
a
paper
ballot
marking
technology
that
allows
people
with
disabilities
to
vote
independently
in
privately,
and
it
includes
an
audio
function,
a
touch
screen
where
people
can
increase
the
font
size
or
the
contrast.
It
also
includes
Braille,
embossed
keypads,
a
sip-and-puff
tube
and
a
rocker
paddle.
A
The
ballot
transfer
basically
enables
someone
who
does
not
have
a
VAT
in
the
voting
place,
they've
been
identified
and
they
need
a
VAT.
So
we
have
a
process
to
help
them
transfer
that
ballot
to
a
voting
location
that
has
a
VAT
that
they
can
then
utilize
to
vote.
People
are
also
able
to
appoint
a
proxy
voter
so
for
anybody,
including
people
with
disabilities,
that,
for
whatever
reason,
can
attend
advance
vote
or
voting
day,
they
can
actually
fill
in
a
form
and
appoint
their
vote
to
somebody
else
to
do
it
on
their
behalf.
A
We
do
curbside
voting.
So
if
someone
is
physically
able
to
get
to
a
voting
pole
but
not
physically
able
to
enter
into
the
building,
we
have
a
process
where
we
can
set
up
having
a
ballot
officer,
come
out
to
your
vehicle
and
facilitate
your
vote
on
the
curb
personal
assistance
to
voters.
So
again,
you
can
bring
a
friend
along
election
officials
are
available
to
provide
any
assistance
to
people
with
disabilities.
That's
required
voting
places
and
long-term
care
homes,
shelters
and
retirement
homes
is
another
one
of
our
priorities.
A
So
we
try
to
identify
voting
places
in
those
institutions
and
community
centers
and
areas
so
that
the
voting
staff
there
makes
it
easier
for
those
residents
to
vote.
The
last
one
that
I'm
going
to
talk
about
is
our
new
pilot
program,
which
we're
really
excited
about
for
20:18.
For
the
first
time,
we're
gonna
be
doing
a
home
visit
pilot
program
next
slide.
A
So
basically,
the
home
visit
pilot
program
is
a
first
for
Toronto.
They
do
it
in
in
Ontario,
and
the
federal
government
and
a
couple
of
municipalities
across
Ontario
have
tried
it
and
we're
gonna.
Try
it
for
the
first
time
in
2018.
So
basically
is
an
alternative
voting
method
where
election
officials
will
come
to
your
home
and
teams
of
two
bring
a
ballot
and
facilitate
the
vote
inside
someone's
residents
that
are
not
able
to
attend
a
voting
location
due
to
injury,
illness
or
disability.
A
Just
a
little
bit
of
background
on
the
home
voting
pilot
program,
so
the
Municipal
Elections
Act,
which
is
our
foundation
legislation
that
helps
to
administer
the
election
and
by-elections
in
Toronto,
does
authorized
the
use
of
alternative
voting
methods
that
do
not
require
electors
to
attend
a
voting
place
in
order
to
vote.
So
last
year
we
brought
a
report
forward
to
council
based
on
some
input
we
received
from
the
2014
election
and
the
2014
accessibility
plan
that
suggested
that
Toronto
should
really
look
at
a
home
voting
program.
A
So
we
brought
a
report
for
recommending
that
and
council
adopted
that
passed
a
bylaw
that
gave
us
the
legislative
authority
that
we
needed
to
then
implement
this
alternative
voting
methodology.
Our
procedures
for
home
voting
are
also
on
our
website,
so
if
anyone's
interested
in
all
the
micro
details
of
how
we're
actually
going
to
facilitate
that
they're
all
available
for
you
to
take
a
look
at
and
again
any
feedback
or
comments,
I'm
happy
to
hear
so.
The
program
for
home
voting
is
gonna,
run
through
advance
votes
or
a
90
advance
vote
period.
A
Last
election
at
14,
we
did
six
days
of
advance
vote
this
election.
We're
gonna,
try
to
do
nine
days.
It's
gonna
be
a
we're.
All
gonna
be
very
tired,
but
we
had
a
really
good
turnout
and
advance
vote
last
time
and
we
feel
that
that's
a
good,
a
good
process
to
help
people
get
out
and
and
vote,
and
you
can
vote
errs,
can
register
by
phone
or
email
between
September
4th,
4th
and
October
5th
and,
as
I
said
earlier,
there'll
be
to
home
visit
officers.
A
They'll
basically
come
in
teams
of
two
and
we're
also
securely
sealing
those
ballots
in
a
double
envelope
system,
just
to
make
sure
that
the
privacy
of
that
vote
is
paramount
and
it
disconnects
the
identity
of
the
person
voting
from
the
ballot
that
they've
marked
and
lastly,
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
update
on
internet
voting.
So
the
clerk
totally
recognizes
the
opportunity
that
internet
or
online
voting
provides
for
people
with
disabilities
in
order
to
improve
access
and,
unfortunately
in
2014
2015
2016.
A
We
did
a
fairly
fulsome
internet
voting
project
and
at
that
point
in
time
we
were
not
able
to
identify
a
system,
a
technology
system
that
was
fully
accessible,
that
at
the
same
time
guaranteed
the
security
ballot,
integrity
and
secrecy
of
the
election
internet.
Voting
is
still
something
that
we
continue
to
look
at.
We
think
that
it's
got
some
promise.
There's
some
new
technology.
B
L
A
L
I
You
for
your
presentation,
I
can
see
a
lot
of
progress
has
been
made.
So
that's
awesome.
I
have
two
quick
questions,
one
the
voting
options
information.
How
is
that
information
communicated
to
people
like
elderly
who
are
in
homes
who
don't
use
computers?
Are
there
mail
outs
that
go
out
with
the
information.
A
R
Use
multiple
methods
to
communicate
the
information
and
we
do
work
with
our
network
to
also
explore
new
ones,
but
we
do
a
household
mail
out
that
goes
out
to
every
household.
It's
an
information
piece
that
has
all
the
information
you
need
to
know
about
the
election.
We
have
the
voter
information
card
that
comes
in
the
mail
and
then
we
also
do
radio
advertisements.
Now
that's
something
new
we've
introduced
in
the
last
election.
We
do
print
ads
online
ads
and
we've
gotten
out
of
home
advertising
campaign
as
well.
That
includes
the
TTC.
R
The
dedicated
sort
of
communication
customer
service
methods
that
Fiona
mentioned
are
some
of
them,
but
we
have
a
dedicated
phone
line,
email
address
as
well
as
3/1
one
we
work
very
closely
with,
and
we
have
a
dedicated
team
in
our
election
central
area
that
all
calls
regarding
accessibility
or
any
barriers
that
someone
faces
during
the
elections
when
we
want
to
hear
from
them.
So
they
those
calls
will
be
escalated
directly
to
our
dedicated
team
and
we'd
want
to
resolve
them
on
the
spot
right
away.
So
that's
what
we're
we
plan
for
so
yeah.
A
That's
a
very
good
question.
Well,
you
know
I'll
just
tell
you
a
little
story.
So,
two
weeks
ago,
when
we
had
our
candidate
information
session,
the
province
was
there
and
one
of
the
issues
that
came
up
is
the
MEA
has
gone
through
some
really
fundamental
changes.
Two
years
ago
it
was
amended
by
the
province.
It
was
really
the
first
fundamental
sort
of
thorough
review.
They
had
done
of
that
act
in
20
years,
so
we
got
a
lot
of
changes.
A
Some
good
changes,
but,
interestingly
enough,
one
of
the
things
that
was
raised
at
that
meeting
that
I'll
certainly
be
following
up
with
them
on
is
for
a
candidate
that
has
a
disability
if
they
need
to
purchase
resources
to
assist
them
in
their
campaign.
As
a
candidate
with
disability,
those
things
they
purchase
don't
be
counted
towards
their
expense
limit.
But
if
a
candidate
wants
to
make
their
campaign
more
accessible,
whatever
they're
doing
to
improve
that
those
expenses
are
counted
so
I.
R
Sure
I
think
also
there
was
a
you
know,
request
from
elections
when
they
debriefed
with
the
province
after
the
last
election,
and
they
did
ask
them
to
put
some
legislation
in
in
some
points
in
the
legislation
around
that
making
candidates
campaigns
accessible.
But
we
didn't
see
that
change
in
them.
Okay,.
G
Was
just
gonna,
echo
Ian's
comment
or
her
question
I
think
one
of
the
best
ways
to
sort
of
go
about
doing
it
is
to
actually
have
an
etic
ated
accessibility
fund,
though
and
I
think
that's
part
of
the
problem,
though,
with
that
in
that
way
and
then
the
other
thing
that
I
was
also
gonna,
ask
to
so
I'm.
Sorry,
if
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
your
accessibility
plan
and
the
barriers
that
you
identified,
are
they
primarily
physical
barriers?
Are
the
attitudinal
barriers
and
I
think
that's
part
of
it.
R
The
plan
covers
a
lot
of
different
disabilities
and
we
have
tried
to
address
various
ones
through
the
network
and
through
some
of
the
feedback
we've
been
hearing
and
through
the
customer
service.
Like
the
experience,
the
lived
sort
of
experiences
that
individuals
are
having,
we
haven't,
put
a
barrier
like
there
isn't
for
us,
a
funding
sort
of
barrier
that
we've
put
that
we're
having
a
challenge
with,
but
maybe
with
candidates.
It
is
a
little
bit
different
because
they
do
have
expense
limits
and.
R
G
Of
like
well
I
think
about
like
the
accessibility
plan,
in
terms
of
identifying
the
barriers,
for
example,
so
like
or
is
it
like
a
even
like
50/50
split
between
physical
barriers
in
terms
of
like
voting
stations,
or
is
it
more
like
attitudinal,
barriers
and
I?
Think
it's
just
one
of
those
things
when
you
can
sort
of
identify
what
those
barriers
are
sort
of
very
concretely.
So
if
it's
like
20%
are
you
know
automatic
door
openers
that
are
not
working,
then
you
can
sort
of
you
know
very
clearly
identify
them
and
then
I
think.
G
The
other
thing,
too,
is
what
I
was
talking
about,
that
dedicated
accessibility
fund
of
having
that
fun.
So,
okay,
save
20%
of
the
issues
or
the
barriers
are
automatic
door
openers
that
are
not
working
or
that
there's
no
ramp,
for
example,
having
that
fun
to
then
sort
of
improve
the
accessibility
that
was
sort
of
what
I
was
thinking,
yeah.
A
We
actually
have
a
reserve
fund
that
provides
the
funding
for
the
clerk
to
administer
the
election,
and
you
know
that
fund
allows
us
to
make
any
kind
of
modifications
to
voting
places
that
are
required
unless
it's
full
construction.
Obviously,
but
you
know
in
our
warehouse,
we
already
have
ramps
and
signage
and
a
whole
host
of
accessibility,
modifications
that
we
utilize
in
a
voting
place
as
we
need
to
as
well.
As
you
know,
if
we
notice
that
an
accessibility
buttons
not
working,
we
would
work
with
that
property
owner
to
ensure
it
gets
fixed.
A
D
You
very
much
I'm
just
on
the
home
visit
program
and
I
may
have
just
missed
this
in
the
presentation.
But
are
you
planning
to
do
is
kind
of
bulk
home
visits
at
some
of
the
supportive
housing
buildings,
perhaps
in
in
throughout
the
city
that
might
allow
for
a
greater
number
of
people
to
just
have
an
accessible
voting
option
within
their
building.
So.
A
I
think
we're
doing
a
range
of
things.
So
in
some
of
the
supportive
housing
buildings
we
actually
have
a
poll
in
the
lobby,
so
you
know
for
people
that
have
the
ability
to
leave
their
apartment
and
come
down
and
vote
in
the
lobby.
We
have
lots
of
those
across
Toronto
and
we
prioritize
those
in
long
term
care
homes,
shelters
some
of
the
larger
supportive
housing
units
in
terms
of
the
home
visiting
program.
We're
not
doing
really
any
block.
A
D
A
D
A
Think
we
can
certainly
look
at
that.
Counselor
I
mean
the
other
thing
that
we
do
do
in
long-term
care
homes
and
nursing
homes.
Is
we
actually
do
bed
to
bed
voting
Hospital?
Okay?
So
we
do
bad
to
bad.
We
usually
work
very
closely
with
the
manager
of
that
long-term
care,
home
or
nursing
home,
and
we
literally
do
a
bed
to
bed
vote
for
people
that
don't
have
okay.
D
Great,
it
sounds
like
that's
already
taken
care
of
man
just
on
the
accessibility,
making
more
accessible
campaigns.
Having
been
one
of
many
in
this
room
or
a
handful
in
this
room
that
have
been
a
part
of
a
couple
campaigns
and
my
lifetime,
one
of
the
big
and
you've
identified
this
is
the
costs
associated
with
it.
Would
there
not
be
an
opportunity
for
the
city?
Has
the
software,
for
instance,
to
to
make
websites
more
accessible?
D
Would
it
not
be
perhaps
an
option
that,
rather
than
have
a
fund
that
just
and
it
gives
money
out
to
campaigns
to
become
more
accessible,
allow
for
access
to
our
existing
tools
to
help
provide
some
accessibility?
I
would
argue
that
candidates
are
fools
not
to
make
it
more
accessible
because
they're
trying
to
attract
voters
and
if
they're
not
getting
their
information
to
voters,
then
that's
then
they're
losing
out.
However,
because
of
the
expense
there
may
be
some
campaign,
some
under-resourced
campaigns
that
need
additional
assistance.
D
A
Would
see
a
couple
of
things
I
mean
you
know
an
easy
thing
for
me.
That
I
said
at
the
candidate
information
session
two
weeks
ago
was,
if
you're
participating
in
an
all
candidates
debate,
and
you
get
invited
by
the
sponsor
of
non
candidates.
Debate
then
make
sure
that
that
location
is
accessible
to
people
with
disabilities.
I
mean
that's
an
easy
one
in
terms
of
the
city
providing
some
assistance
like
website
and
tools
that
gets
a
little
bit
tricky
the
municipal
election
act
when
they
amended.
A
It
made
some
very
strong
statements
in
the
act
that
municipalities
and
the
city
proper
is
not
allowed
to
do
any
level
of
support
to
any
campaign
directly
and
that
we're
now
required
to
have
a
use
of
corporate
resource
policy,
which
Toronto
has
had
for
a
number
of
election
cycles
and
you'll.
Remember
that
the
updated
one
came
forward
to
Council
for
adoption,
I
think
in
the
January
cycle,
so
you
know
I,
think
our
hands
are
tied
a
little
bit
there,
but
I
think
that
there's
some.
We
need
to
do
better
advocacy
on
that.
D
If
we
could
just
go
a
little
bit
deeper
into
that
there,
for
instance,
city
website
does
have
the
URL
addresses
for
candidates
that,
in
and
of
itself,
could
be
seen
as
a
level
of
support.
Yes,
I'm
having
their
names
up,
there
perhaps
is
different,
but
giving
a
direct
link
to
the
information
about
that
candidate
is
a
supportive.
Is
the
city
doing
something
to
draw
attention
to
it?
So
I
think
that
that
lines
and
really
really,
we
probably
could
push
the
line
a
little
bit.
I'm.
D
Other
opportunity
would
be
to
put
it
outside
of
the
and
outside
of
the
of
the
funding
envelope
that
one's
dedicated
I
think
you
mentioned
that,
and
that
would
certainly
for
well
resource
campaigns,
be
fine.
They
would
be
able
to
spend
money
on
the
accessibility
tool,
but
it
wouldn't
for
under-resourced
campaigns.
It
would
be
more
difficult.
E
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation.
I
learned
a
lot
today,
I
wanted
to
ask
about
the
day
of
as
well
so
I
know.
Stephanie
was
talking
about
it
earlier
and
we
heard
that
there's
a
phone
line
and
there's
an
email
address,
but
is
there
an
actual
designated
person
at
each
one
of
the
sites
that
is
in
charge
of
accessibility.
A
E
So,
to
clarify
all
of
the
locations
have
somebody
who
has
accessibility,
designation,
yes
in
terms
of
solving
okay,
I,
wanted
to
understand
a
little
bit
about
the
day
of
options
in
terms
of
the
of
the
available
options
that
you
talked
about.
So
you
talked
about
curbside
voting
and
and
the
vote
at
home
program.
Are
they
available
on
the
day
or
is
there
always
going
to
be
advance
notice,
that's
required
for
those.
So.
A
In
terms
of
the
home
voting
program,
this
is
our
first
election
doing
it
and
we're
considering
it
a
pilot
project,
there's
a
lot
of
logistics
to
figure
out
how
to
serve
a
thousand
electors
through
two
teams
of
two
and
facilitate
the
vote,
so
that
pilot
is
only
going
to
run
through
advance
vote
not
on
election
day.
All
of
the
other
options
that
I
outlined
today,
including
curbside,
are
available.
R
E
A
I
think
the
pilot
really
is
sort
of
just
testing
volume,
logistics,
making
sure
that
we've
got
a
good
process
to
facilitate
it,
ensuring
the
integrity
of
the
ballot
we've
put
a
lot
of
work
into
the
home
visit
program
in
the
last
six
months,
so
we're
feeling
pretty
confident
we
do
have
to
report
back
to
Council
and
do
a
bit
of
a
post
evaluation,
but
my
hope
is
that
it
will
become
a
permanent
fixture
in
our
elections.
Other
jurisdictions.
Do
it
I
think
it's
a
great
option
for
people
that
need
it.
A
We
actually
do
have
a
number
of
resource
guides
on
our
website
for
candidates
to
help
assist
them
in
looking
at
how
to
make
their
campaign
successful.
The
province
produces
one,
and
we
have
a
link
on
our
website
to
that
as
well,
as
am
CTO
produces
one
in
the
link.
Is
there
as
well
and
and
they're
very
good?
Actually,
okay,.
Q
The
second
thing
is
I
know
in
the
past.
In
our
appointments
process,
we
have
attempted
to
do
outreach
to
ensure
that
the
pool
of
candidates
are
reflective
of
the
groups
were
attempting
to
address
in
terms
of
representation.
What
kind
of
outreach
are
you
doing
for
recruiting
workers
from
underrepresented
groups
as
a
kind
of
Employment
Equity.
Q
R
Similar
to
the
accessibility
outreach
network,
we
also
have
two
other
outreach
networks
that
we
use
and
they're
all
members
of
either
their
active
members
from
varying
communities
across
Toronto.
So
there's
the
election
outreach
network
that
includes
multiple,
like
multicultural
groups,
very
sort
of
targeted
groups
like
organizations
from
you
know,
homeless,
shelters,
homeless
groups,
there's
representation
from
tenant.
A
R
Oh
so,
with
the
aon,
we
actually
provide
them
with
all
the
positions
that
are
available.
We've
worked
very
closely
with
a
lot
of
the
disability
organizations
like
spinal
cord
injury
has
brought
forward.
Multiple
I
would
say
more
than
multiple,
probably
a
couple
hundred
individuals
that
have
worked
on
the
election
through
their
organization
they
reach
out
they
post
the
jobs
that
are
available
for
their
members
to
be
part
of
you
know
to
apply
for
the
various
jobs
that
meet
their
needs.
R
We
ask
all
the
organizations
that
work
with
us
we've
got
about
sixty
that
our
active
members,
as
well
as
we
share
and
communicate
with
them
all
the
job
opportunities
when
the
job
being
posted,
how
they
can
apply,
and
they
are
you
know
we
provide
assistance
for
them
to
apply
for
those
jobs
in
the
voting
place
in
various.
Do
we.
Q
Have
goals
I
mean
I
know
the
overall
goal
is
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
staff
to
ensure
a
successful
election,
but
I'm
wondering
I
mean
it
is
an
opportunity
for
employment.
That
I
know
many
people
value
literally,
so
there
could
be
some
goals
we
establish
for
the
percentage
of
jobs
that
have
been
provided
to
groups.
We
know
are
underrepresented
in
the
workforce,
particularly
the
disability
community.
So.
Q
Mean
we
have
it's
been
12
years,
14
years,
I've
been
waiting
for
the
Employment
Equity
policy
for
the
city,
yet
to
see
it
measured
with
established
goals
and
targets.
This
is
a
one-shot
opportunity
where
we
could
try
to
model
how
we
do
this
so
that
we
actually
are
purposefully
attempting
to
achieve
some
employment
targets.
I.
A
J
You
for
your
presentation,
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions
around
the
my
vote:
half
first
of
all,
I
really
like
the
idea
of
offering
an
app
this
election
cycle,
I'm
just
wondering
during
the
development
process
of
the
app
did.
You
engage
people
with
disabilities
for
user
testing
to
ensure
that
the
app
is
compatible
with
accessibility
features
on
assistive
devices
or
mobile
devices.
R
We
have
engaged
with
an
accessibility
consultant
that
actually
has
done
sense
of
testing
as
we've
been
building
the
application
and
now
that
it's
kind
of
at
its
testing
state,
so
they
have
engaged
persons
with
disabilities
and
part
of
that
process
and
as
well.
We
are
just
waiting
for
this
final
draft
version
of
my
vote
that
we're
going
to
be
taking
it
to
our
Aon
members
to
also
test
it
and
make
sure
that
it's
been
working
and
that
it
works
and
meets
their
needs
as
well.
J
R
K
R
So
you
will
know
exactly
also
the
accessible
door.
The
entrance
that
you
might
want
to
use
for
that
particular
voting
place
if
it's
different
from
the
regular
main
entrance
for
any
reason
and
will
also
be
able
to
use
that
app.
So,
if
there's
a
change
of
any
sort
of
information
regarding
the
entrance,
so
if
we
find
out
that
the
door
opener
is
not
working
at
a
particular
entrance,
we're
able
to
update
that
sort
of
information
at
that
on
the
app
great.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Darren.
Are
there
any
other
questions?
I
have
probably
just
two
quick
questions.
The
City
of
Toronto
currently
has
a
fund
that
councilors
can
draw
from
to
provide
accommodations
at
public
meetings
and
functions
and
events
that
fund
is
I,
think
a
capped
at
forty
four
thousand
dollars,
meaning
that
every
councillor
gets
one
thousand
dollars,
but
not
everybody
uses
it
and
they
can
go
beyond
that
as
long
as
it
doesn't
exceed.
The
forty
four
thousand
dollar
limit
is
that
correct,
I'm.
A
B
Can
confirm
that
that
is
correct.
You
know
more
about
it
than
I
do
because
we've
drawn
from
it,
but
just
given
the
mechanics
of
that
fund
that
allows
councillors
elected
officials
to
be
able
to
to
conduct
more
open
and
as
accessible
meetings
and
functions,
is
it
feasible
to
create
a
very
similar
fun
and
maybe
boring
from
that
template
so
that
there
can
be
accommodations
provided
for
the
candidates,
the
campaign,
volunteers
and
the
general
public
that
they
interact
with
during
the
election
period?
So.
A
As
I
said
earlier,
the
MEA
was
amended
and
they
put
some
very
strong
language
in
the
MEA
for
the
first
time
requiring
municipalities
to
adopt
policies
about
the
use
of
corporate
resources
to
campaign
and
support
candidates.
So
I
think
that
that
provision
in
the
MEA
would
likely
prohibit
the
city
from
potentially
providing
that
level
of
service.
But
I
think
it's
a
legitimate
question
and
I'm
happy
to
go
back
and
have
that
conversation
with
the
ministry
and
make
sure
that
I'm
not
misinterpreting
the
intent
of
that
provision
and
explore
that
idea.
Further.
Okay.
B
Thank
you
I'll
be
moving
a
motion
asking
for
something
very
similar
to
that.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
answer.
Seeing
none.
If
there
are
no
more
questions
of
our
speaker,
then
we
can
just
head
into
the
portion
of
the
meeting
where
we
speak
to
the
item.
Are
there
any
members
who
are
interested
in
speaking
to
this
item?
Okay,
Monica!
Go
ahead.
Please.
H
H
The
people
who
live
in
buildings
that
have
the
the
pole
in
the
lobby,
I
remember,
working
one
and
we
went
up
to
somebody's
house
was
was
to
somebody's
apartment,
was
too
sick
to
come
down,
and
that
was
considered
a
curbside
vote,
so
they
don't
have
to
register
for
a
home.
In
that
situation
it
can
be
a
curbside
vote.
So
if
they
don't
get
the
registration,
then
they
can
actually
get
still
be
able
to
vote.
E
E
G
Was
just
gonna
say
one
thing
I
understand
that
the
boundaries
are
also
changing
for
the
words
as
well,
so
I
know
a
lot
of
members
of
the
general
public.
Don't
necessarily
know
what
the
new
boundaries
are
gonna
be
I
can
imagine.
Certain
people
with
disabilities
are
gonna
run
into
the
same
issue
as
well.
G
B
You
very
much
Michael
anyone
else.
Okay,
seeing
none
I'd
like
to
place
a
motion
and
I
see
that
Carol
our
clerk
is
working
really
hard
to
get
it
on
the
screen.
Perhaps
what
we
can
do
is
just
give
her
a
minute
to
do
that
and
I'm
gonna
invite
shelter
staff
to
come
to
the
front
of
room,
because
I
believe
that
you're
injured,
you're
next
and
you'll
be
providing
us
with
a
presentation.
So
while
you
get
that
ready,
we'll
let
the
clerk's
sorry,
oh
yes,
there
is
a
deputation
okay.
B
B
Just
thought
of
it,
sometimes:
okay,
so
why
don't
we
do
this
councillor?
Davis
is
also
working
on
a
motion
and
that's
all
good.
That's
all
very
good.
We'll
stand
us
item
down.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
invite
Emily
Daigo
to
come
up
to
the
front
of
the
room.
We
want
to
afford
her
lease
a
few
minutes
to
speak
Emily
just
so.
B
C
C
You
know
we
were
giving
wrong
directions
by
staff.
We
were
sent
out
into
the
cold
bitter
-35,
windchill
bitter
cold,
with
lots
of
snow
on
February
8th
by
a
shelter
worker
having
given
us
the
wrong
directions:
Toledo
Motel,
if
it
wasn't
for
a
TTC
operator,
I
still
remember
the
bus
number,
seven.
Five,
eight
eight
on
the
86
Scarborough.
If
it
wasn't
for
that
bus
driver,
we
would
have
been
out
bitter
cold
night
everything
that
we
had
with
us.
C
C
Not
only
that
is
that
bus
driver
made
sure
the
office
at
Lido
motel
wasn't
even
accessible,
so
we
couldn't
contact
anyone,
the
laundry
room,
kitchen,
weren't
accessible.
You
know
we
were
in
a
bad
spot
and
we
had
a
beg
for
a
room
at
the
family
res
and
we
were
told,
oh
well,
there's
no
heat
in
this
room.
No,
nothing!
No
one
bothered
to
try
and
fix
the
heat
in
that
room.
Instead,
we
were
told
you
know,
there's
his
room,
there's
no
heat,
so
I
was
like
well
it's
at
the
main
rez.
C
It's
all
we've
got
it's
all
we
can
do.
You
know
we
couldn't
use
this
kitchen
at
the
shelter
we're
constantly
harassed
by
staff,
the
room.
You
know
that
it
ended
up
that
the
heating
rod
that
the
heating
register
once
I'd
learned
how
to
use
it.
It's
very
simple:
they
put
a
lock
box
on
it,
so
I
couldn't
turn
on
the
heat
in
the
room
four
different
times.
They
gave
us
heaters
two
of
them
broke.
You
know
we
were
put
through
hell
by
staff.
C
We
were
constantly,
you
know,
told
off,
because
we
weren't
using
the
kitchen
and
the
rest
it
wasn't
accessible.
The
doors
were
too
narrow,
the
computer
room.
They
had
computers.
Once
I
figured
out
how
to
change
the
settings
in
Microsoft
and
make
it
even
basically
accessible.
They
were
locked
down.
There
was
no
proper
accessibility
given
for
the
computers
or
anything
else,
and
when
we
did
finally
get
into
the
accessible,
accessible
and
I
put
air
quotes
on
that
room.
C
There
was
almost
a
two-inch
gap
between
the
floor
and
the
step
to
get
in
and
out
and
at
one
time
one
night
there
was
a
brick
placed
in
the
middle
of
the
pathway
to
exit
our
room.
That
was
the
same
exact
color
as
the
pathway
nearly
destroyed.
My
old
chair
they,
where
I
had
to
park.
The
chair
was
right
by
the
door
where
the
door
was
warped,
let
in
the
rain
the
snow,
the
cold.
My
wheelchair
wheelchair
got
destroyed,
they
were
constantly
being
harassed.
We
were
having
to
come
downtown
two
and
a
half
hours.
C
Each
way
we
were
treated
like
absolute
garbage
staff
were
not
trained
how
to
deal
with
people
of
visual
impairments.
The
housing
worker
didn't
know
how
to
deal
with
people
of
vision
with
wheelchairs
and
because
we
were
a
couple
with
disabilities
with
no
children.
We
were
shoved
in
the
back
end
of
Scarborough.
Our
supposed
worker
treated
us
like
I
was
new
crap.
C
When
we
were,
we
found
out
later
that
the
Celtic
Caledonia
Fred
Victor
shelter
had
offered
us
a
space
in
our
worker
at
the
res
and
I,
don't
know
they're
fine,
they
don't
need
it
yet
we
would
have
been
much
safer.
We
have
been
much
closer
to
soup
kitchens,
we
would
have
been
much
better
off
and
we
would
have
more
accessibility
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
something.
C
People
are
being
shoved
out
to
Scarborough
with
no
supports
no
accessible
soup
kitchens.
The
Welcome
Home
book
does
not
go
east
to
Brimley,
Road
and
I'll.
Tell
you
this
much
I
know
when
the
Ombudsman's
report
came
out.
Basically
all
they
did
it.
Family
residence
slap,
a
bunch
of
power
buttons
places
and
two
rooms
that
weren't
even
accessible
wash.
There
wasn't
one
accessible
Emily.
C
Thank
you
when
you
go
somewhere,
even
though
only
women's
drop-in
and
downtown
core
is
not
even
wheelchair
accessible,
it
tells
you
pretty
much
what
the
staff
think
of
people
with
disabilities
I
know,
they're
working
hard
on
it,
I
get
that,
but
it's
three
years
later,
what's
actually
been
done.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
very
much
Emily.
Does
anyone
have
questions
for
the
speaker
seeing
none?
Thank
you
Emily.
Thank
you
for
coming
out
today.
I'm
gonna
invite
two
city
staff
to
come
to
the
front
of
the
room
and
they
have
a
presentation
for
us
again.
The
topic
is
improving
accessibility
in
shelters,
we're
on
item
number
four
and
we're
still
holding
down
under
number
three
we're
working
on
a
couple
motions
but
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
come
back
to
it
at
the
end
of
this
particular
topic.
B
P
Okay,
good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Paul
Raftis
I'm,
the
general
manager
of
shelter,
support
and
housing.
We've
put
together
a
little
presentation
here
on
where
we
are
with
improving
accessibility
in
shelters
and
many
of
the
things
that
are
deput
n't
have
just
explained
or
are
absolutely
true
in
terms
of
the
accessibility
in
shelters.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
so
we're
on
a
on
a
path
to
do
that
work.
P
So
in
terms
of
the
presentation,
we're
going
to
talk
about
just
briefly
the
shelter
system
and
provide
a
bit
of
an
overview,
the
current
accessibility
in
shelters,
work
underway
to
improve
that
accessibility
and
then
next
steps.
So
those
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
the
city,
the
city's
shelter
system
comprises
of
63
different
shelters,
ten
of
them
are
operated
by
the
city.
53
are
operated
by
30
different
community
partner
agencies.
P
The
city's
shelter
system
is
quite
diverse
and
we
take
care
of
clients
in
a
number
of
different
sectors:
family,
you've,
single
men,
single
women,
as
well
as
mixed
gender
sector.
Today,
the
system's
capacity
is
approximately
6,500
beds,
and
this
is
a
50%
increase
from
about
20
months
ago,
Toronto
has
more
shelter
beds
than
any
other
jurisdiction
in
Canada
and
we're
working
hard
grow.
The
system
bringing
on
a
number
of
new
shelters
this
year
in
2018,
so
in
terms
of
current
accessibility,
accessibility
is
poor
in
the
shelter
system
and
we
need
to
improve
that.
P
Obviously,
disability
does
not
discriminate
and
neither
does
homelessness.
So
we
recognize
that
there
are.
There
is
a
wide
range
of
different
accessibility
needs
and
one
size
does
not
fit
all.
We
also
recognize
that
few
shelters
are
accessible,
some
shelters
have
some
accessible
features,
but
over,
but
the
overall
space
and
other
building
components
create
barriers
for
our
clients.
So
as
an
example,
you
may
have
a
wheelchair,
accessible
main
entrance,
but
no
elevator
in
the
facility.
P
One
of
the
fundamental
challenges
we
face
is
the
physical
infrastructure,
so
we
have
many
many
old
buildings
and
our
oldest
dates
back
to
1850.
If
you
can
imagine,
that's
actually
robertson
house
very
few
are
purpose-built
shelter's
most
of
the
buildings
have
been
modified
from
their
original
purpose,
and
this
creates
a
unique
set
of
accessibility
challenges,
including,
but
not
limited
to
drop-off.
P
Through
a
you
know,
travel
throughout
the
building
and
the
property,
so
many
floor
level
changes
the
door.
Widths
are
very
narrow.
You
know
things
such
as
that,
and
also,
though,
to
be
considered
is
the
concept
of
shelter
has
also
changed
over
time.
So
many
of
these
facilities
are
not
only
used
just
exclusively
for
shelter.
There
are
other
support
programs
in
the
shelter
itself
that
individuals
who
do
not
live
in
the
shelter
should
be
able
to
use.
P
Another
major
initiative
being
undertaken
by
the
division
is
accessibility,
audits
of
all
63
facilities.
So
the
audits
have
two
main
objectives:
determine
the
accessibility,
compliant
compliance
measures
required
for
city
funded
shelter
facilities,
so
that's
all
63
facilities
and
also
to
estimate
the
funding
required
to
implement
sorry
funding
required
an
implementation
strategy
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
Oda
compliance
by
2025,
we're
also
looking
at
the
out
of
the
cold
programs
as
well
on
top
of
the
63
shelter
locations.
P
So
when
we
look
at
the
accessibility
audits
that
are
currently
going
on,
43
of
the
sites
have
been
assessed,
four
in
four
different
categories
and
we
have
the
results
of
category
one
and
category.
One
assesses
eight
different
measures
to
establish
a
minimum
baseline
for
accessibility.
So
there's
three
basic
questions:
there
can
a
person
enter
the
shelter?
Can
a
person
use
the
facility
for
its
intended
purpose
and
can
a
person
exit
the
facility.
P
So
when
we
look
at
the
results
of
those
category,
one
assessments,
they're,
really
quite
poor.
Zero
of
the
forty-three
shelters
meets
all
eight
measures.
Two
of
the
shelters
met.
Seven
three
of
the
shelter's
met
six
for
the
shelters,
five,
seven
of
the
shelter's
Matt
four
of
the
measures.
Three
of
the
shelter's
met.
Three
four
of
the
shelters
met.
Two
eight
of
the
shelters
met,
one
and
twelve
of
the
shelter's
didn't
meet
any
of
the
requirements.
P
So
we'll
just
pull
up
some
of
the
some
simple
examples
here,
so
this
is
a
photograph
of
an
entryway,
a
large
concrete
slab
and
two
steps,
and
so,
when
you
look
at
this,
the
concrete
pad
appears
to
be
in
good
condition,
but
clearly
there
is
no
accessibility
ramp
and
no
one
with
mobility
challenges
can
even
use
this
doorway
there's
no
door
operator,
no
tactile
surfaces,
no
handrail,
no
contrasting
designations
between
the
risers
to
provide
advance
warning
to
visually
impaired.
Just
as
an
example,
this
picture
is
of
a
bathroom
at
one
of
the
shelters.
P
So
there
are
a
couple
of
features
that
people
felt
were
maybe
helpful,
such
as
you
know,
a
grab
bar
on
the
inside
of
the
shelter
and
that
may
help
individuals
maneuver
a
little
bit.
However,
things
such
as
the
the
step
leading
into
the
shelter,
you
can't
actually
see
that
step,
so
it
becomes
a
tripping
hazard.
The
toilet,
obviously
is
the
height
is
incorrect.
There's
no
lid
for
back
support
and
movement
within
this
small
facility
is
very
limited.
Also.
P
Another
example
again
of
old
infrastructure:
this
picture
is
of
quite
a
large
stairway
and
it's
showing
an
access
path
to
an
outdoor
area
that
our
clients
would
use.
The
outdoor
space
is
obviously
not
expects
to
some
users
who
cannot
maneuver
the
stairs,
there's
no
door,
openers
contrasting
edges
and
no
tactile
surfaces
similar
situation
to
one
of
the
other
photos
that
we
that
we
showed
you.
P
The
other
thing,
though,
that
is
quite
concerning
about
this
picture,
is
actually
we
are
putting
additional
challenges
in
there,
where
staff
have
placed
tables
in
front
of
the
doorways
and
there's
a
chair
up
there
as
well.
So
this
has
been
fixed,
obviously,
but
it
highlights
the
fact
that,
outside
of
these
accessibility
audits
and
training,
there
are
very
significant
accessibility
challenges
within
the
shelter
system
so
moving
forward.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
so
once
the
final
results
from
the
43
access
will
be
accessible.
Audits
are
submitted
to
s
sha.
Q
Q
Okay,
because
certainly
that
was
the
I
know
that
the
budget
in
2018
has
identified
some
high
order,
amounts
to
be
able
to
meet
our
2025
obligations,
but
I
was
hoping
that
it
wasn't
going
to
be
drawn
from
other
sources
or
other
capital
lines.
So
is
it
your
understanding
that
you
will
be
getting
additional
and
new
resources
for
accessibility,
so.
P
We'll
certainly
be
asking
for
additional
and
new
resources
based
on
the
independent
assessment
of
the
shelter
system
and
the
compliance
audits.
So
we'll
say
we
will
look
at
the
compliance
audits,
identify
how
much
it
cost
to
make
those
fixes,
and
then
we
will
ask
for
that
money
through
the
budget
process.
Okay,.
Q
P
P
Q
E
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
Could
you
say
a
little
bit
more
about
what
specifically
the
eight
elements
were
that
you
were
looking
at,
because
the
three
questions
are
they
don't
provide
much
detail,
I'm,
specifically
wondering
about
beyond
just
the
physical
accessibility
piece
of
this.
If
there
was
anything
else
that
was
looked
at
in
terms
of
communication,
so.
P
Two
pieces,
so
this
really
is
is
technical
audits
related
to
the
physical
infrastructure.
The
training
that
staff
are
receiving
currently
are
related
to
the
other,
the
other
pieces,
so
in
terms
of
the
audits,
so
the
eight
categories
were
pedestrian
access
from
the
sidewalk
to
the
main
entrance.
That
was
number
one
number
two
was
one
accessible
entrance
number
three
was
accessed
from
the
main
entry
level
to
at
least
one
of
all
types
of
clients,
client
facilities,
provided
on
that
level.
P
Number
four
was
access
to
one
type
of
sleeping
area,
oh
so
I
might
add
so
for
for
number
one.
Fifty-Eight
percent
of
the
shelter's
met
number
one
for
number.
Two
thirty
percent
met
that
for
number
three.
Thirty
five
percent
met
that
for
number
four
access
to
one
type
of
sleeping
area.
21
percent
met
that
for
number
five
access
to
one
type
of
toilet
and
shower
slash.
F
Did
notice
that
most
of
the
components
you're
looking
at
our
physical,
you
know,
facilities
related
for
as
a
blind
person
and
I
just
went
to
a
shelter
meeting
or
doing
an
audit
I
mean
signage
everywhere,
very
small,
so
communication
in
and
out
like
either
to
the
public
or
internal
to
the
red,
so
I.
Just
wonder
any
of
your
criteria
relates
specifically
to
communications
and
information
access
for
those
with
sensory
disabilities.
I
P
K
P
Really
chair,
I,
think
that
we
would
be
would
be
better
to
answer
that
question
after
the
2019
budget
process.
So
I
think
as
we
as
we
receive
and
pull
together
all
of
the
results
of
these
audits
and
we
identify
what
the
total
cost
is
and
have
a
project
scheduled
for
that.
We
will
bring
that
forward,
and
you
know
our
position
bringing
that
forward
will
be
to
be
compliant
by
2025.
So
we
will
do
our
very
best
to
to
do
that.
B
J
P
J
P
B
P
So
I
can
get
the
specific
off
the
top
of
my
head.
I,
don't
have
those
specific
numbers,
but
there's
a
significant
number
for
women
and
children,
and
we
can
see
them.
I
would
say
that
in
terms
of
meeting
the
that
term
accessible
I,
don't
believe
any
of
them
are
really
truly
accessible.
All
of
our
new
ones
will
are
going
to
be
truly
accessible,
and
all
of
this
work
will
move
to
improve
us
to
have
many
more
places
accessible.
P
G
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
was
just
gonna,
ask
as
a
member
of
the
public
and
say
they
had
an
accessibility
issue.
Is
it
being
listed
on
the
website,
so
assembly
want
to
know?
Well?
Is
this
shelter
accessible
or
not?
Does
it
actually
list
it
on
like
a
City
of
Toronto
website,
so
people
can
look
for
it
and
I'm
also
wondering
about
something
as
well.
I
mean
just
from
you
know
what
we've
heard
so
far.
It
sounds
like
there
really
are
major
accessibility
issues.
What
are
sort
of
the
policies
or
procedures
so
say.
G
If
there
is
a
person
with
a
disability,
they
go
to
a
shelter,
they
realize.
Okay,
it's
not
accessible.
It's
not
gonna
meet
my
needs
where
they
refer
to,
because
I
know
you
have
city-owned
shelters
and
then
you
have
community
partner
sites.
I
mean.
Is
there
sort
of
staff
training
to
say?
Okay?
You
know
we
can't
meet
your
needs
here,
but
you
go
to
this
community
partner
organization.
The
other
thing
too,
that
I
was
gonna,
ask
as
I
know
with
Emily
the
deputed.
G
She
had
made
reference
to
hotels,
so
I'm
just
wondering
is
that
part
of
and
again
that's
sort
of,
my
ignorance
on
it
is
that's
part
and
parcel.
So
if
the
shelter
cannot
meet
the
accessibility
needs,
do
they
refer?
You
know
to
a
community
partner
or
then
do
they
go
to
a
hotel
or
as
a
hotel
just
for
like
and
overflow,
as
you.
P
Threw
the
chair
so
lots
of
questions
there,
so
we
do
have
a
centralized
process
to
very
specifically
work
with
individuals
based
on
their
specific
needs.
So
in
terms
of
the
website,
the
website
is
imperfect
and
even
if
we
had
listed
out
that
this
facility
had
accessibility
features
the
the
occupancy
data
changes
every
day
so
through
central
intake
and
through
our
Peter
Street
location,
shelter,
staff
work
together
to
address
very
specific
needs
of
very
specific
clients,
and
they
would
work
to
move
clients
to
a
location
based
on
their
specific
need.
F
P
Through
the
chair,
so
the
the
way
that
the
audit
was
done
was
through
a
third-party
organization
outside
experts
that
met
specific
criteria,
who
came
to
the
city
to
give
us
that
those
independent
audits,
again
very
technical
in
nature,
in
terms
of
the
physical
infrastructure
of
our
facilities
in
terms
of
feedback
for
the
shelter
system
and
consultation.
We
are
doing
broad
consultation
at
the
moment
with
all
of
the
organizations
that
serve
individuals
experiencing
homelessness
and
in
those
organizations
there
are
many
people
with
lived
experience
again.
A
broad
range
of
issues.
There.
B
E
E
So
21
percent
of
the
shelters
have
a
toilet
that
somebody
with
a
disability
can
use
21
percent
have
somewhere
where
a
person
with
a
disability
could
sleep
I'm,
actually
astonished
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
out
loud
and
I
wanted
to
also
just
add
in
terms
of
women
with
disabilities
and
I.
Don't
know
if
this
is
common
knowledge,
but
certainly
within
our
community.
It
is
that
women
with
disabilities
are
far
more
likely
than
women
without
disabilities
to
be
victimized,
to
be
abused,
to
be
assaulted.
E
Some
of
the
numbers
I've
just
grabbed
from
the
disabled,
women's
network
of
Canada
website,
23
percent
of
women
with
disability,
reinstall
or
sexual
violence,
or
abuse
committed
by
a
current
or
former
partner
in
the
past
five
years.
That's
almost
a
quarter
of
our
population
and
I
mean
that's
a
higher
number
than
the
amount
of
shelter
space
that
they
could
get
into.
E
You
know
what
I
mean
speak
in
terms
of
percentages,
so
I
I
just
needed
to
say
that
out
loud
I'm,
I'm,
astonished
and
I
really
commend
that
you're
moving
forward
and
trying
to
address
this
and
you're
also
looking
at
what
the
problem
is,
but
as
a
woman
with
a
disability
I
can't
imagine
what
I
would
do
if
I
had
to
rely
on
the
shelter
system
as
it
currently
exists.
So
that's
it.
That's
all
I
had
to
say,
but
I
had
to
say
it.
Thank.
F
Want
to
reiterate
that
communications
and
information
access
does
I
feel
doesn't
cost
a
whole
lot
if
you're
talking
about
sinuses
and
you
know,
make
them
big,
make
the
high-contrast
as
a
printing
thing,
color,
choice
and
and
I
think
you
know
sending
things
in
electronic
format
will
do
and
making
sure
website
accessibility.
So
there
are
free.
You
know
anyways
these,
the
apps
and
stuff.
So
I
really
do
think
that
making
communications
and
information
accessible
is
a
it's
a
very
doable
low-hanging
fruit
that
we
can.
F
You
know
start
with,
and
then
I
do
want
to
stress
that
when
you
do
hire
third
party
audits,
I
know
you
cannot
force
them,
but
I
think
preference
and
or
is
somehow
stipulations
should
be
given
that
that
there
should
be,
and
in
some
kind
of
significant
input
from
people
who
who
have
the
lived
experience.
You
know
and
and
I
can
say
that
even
in
your,
how
can
I
put
it
measurements?
F
You
know
how
how
many
of
your
consultants
or
auditors
are
representative
of
the
population
anyway,
so
I,
because
it's
one
thing
to
have
that
expert
knowledge.
But
when
you
actually
live
the
experience,
you
notice
things
that
oftentimes
someone
going
around
with
a
piece
of
paper
may
not
think
of
so
I
and,
of
course,
these
these
persons
with
disabilities.
We,
we
are
often
invited
to
do
audits
to
to
give
feedback,
but
we
are
not
been
sated
for
our
time
and
I
think
we
can
be
part
of
this.
Talking
about
employment
equity.
K
As
someone
who
has
lived
experience
with
more
invisible
disability
also
lived
experience
as
being
a
homeless
person
in
the
past,
I
was
aghast
I
I
echo
Wendy's
sentiments
to
the
nth
degree.
It
has,
however,
had
an
interesting
effect
on
me.
I've
gone
from
sad
to
angry
to
really
determined,
and
if
this
doesn't
galvanize
us
as
a
committee
to
be
pushing
like
hell
to
move
things
forward,
I
don't
know
what
else
will.
Q
Was
just
as
shocked
as
you,
and
we
have
been
waiting
for
years
to
really
see
the
implementation
plan
for
how
our
city
buildings
are
going
to
be
made
accessible
and
to
meet
the
timelines
of
2025.
So
every
department
is
doing
presumably
doing
what
the
shelter
division
is
and
if
not,
they
should
be,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
shelter
division
for
doing
this
work.
What
we
need
to
ensure,
as
councillors
and
his
council,
that
the
budget
is
there
to
make
sure
this
happens,
but
we
also
need
you
as
well.
Q
Interesting,
the
amount
of
money
that
was
identified
in
general
to
deal
with
there
was
a
there
was
sort
of
a
high
level
number
that
was
identified.
I
hope
that
it's
being
refined
by
the
audits
that
are
going
on
so
that
the
money
is
going
to
be
put
into
the
budget
over
and
above
all,
of
the
other
capital
improvements
that
have
to
be
made
on
our
buildings.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Q
K
B
With
us,
we
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
also
to
the
department
for
all
your
hard
work,
this
particular
season.
We
know
it's
been
a
very
difficult
time.
We
also
I
think
I'm
going
to
speak
for
myself.
I
also
recognize
that
the
entire
system
is
going
through
a
massive
overhaul,
so
not
just
the
physical
built,
but
the
expansion
and
the
enhancement
of
services
and
a
more
wrap
around
model.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you.
That
is
not
easy.
B
Work
and
I
know
you
guys
had
a
very
difficult
winter,
and
this
this
committee
is
very
grateful.
The
work
that
you're
doing
thank
you
so
we're
gonna
move
back
now
to
oh
yeah,
so
I
need
a
motion
to
receive
the
presentation.
I
apologize,
Darren,
all
those
in
favor
any
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you.
We're
gonna,
move
back
to
di
19.3
I.
Have
a
motion
I,
believe
councillor
Davis's
motion
is
ready.
Houser
Davis.
Would
you
like
to
go
first.
Q
I
will
it
was
a
bit
I
struggled
with
a
bit
to
get
the
wording.
I
hope
it's
okay
and
it
asked
the
executive
committee
to
request
the
city
clerk
to
use
all
reasonable
efforts
in
the
election
recruitment
to
achieve
the
goal
of
hiring
a
number
of
persons
with
disability
for
election
work,
that
is
reflective
of
representation
in
the
general
population.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Councillor
I
will
place
my
motion
on
the
screen
and
I'll
just
read
that
that
City
Council
requests
the
city
clerk
to
review
options
for
the
creation
of
a
dedicated
fund
to
access
to
assist,
Toronto
municipal
candidates
for
the
upcoming
2018
and
future
elections,
to
provide
accessible
accessibility,
accommodations
for
candidates,
campaign,
volunteers
and
the
general
public
to
promote
greater
civic
participation
and
enhanced
democracy.
I
won't
speak
much
more
to
it.
I
think
it's
pretty
self-explanatory.
B
I
want
to
thank
Michael
for
sort
of
sparking
the
conversation,
because
really
your
words
inspire
this
motion
and
to
thank
the
the
election
services
staff
for
the
extraordinary
volume
of
work
that
you've
done.
Your
presentation
was
very
illuminating
personally
I'm
a
little
bit
disappointed
that
we
don't
have
internet
voting,
but
I
also
recognize
that
the
system
is
not
secure.
Then
let's
not
go
there
until
we
know
it's.
B
There
is
something
out
there
in
the
marketplace
that
we
can
buy,
but
I
know
that
this
election
with
the
expanded
and
and
different
Ward
boundaries
with
seventeen
hundred
and
fifty
different
polling
sites
with
the
home
voting
systems.
You've
got
your
hands
full
and
we
want
to
thank
you
in
advance
for
all
the
work
that
you're
going
to
put
in
there.
Should
we
take
the
motions
as
a
package?
Is
that
reasonable,
yeah?
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motions
before
you?
Okay?
Thank
you
any
opposed
and
the
item
as
amended.
B
Okay,
any
opposed
that
carries
okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
Now,
just
an
interest
of
time.
It's
11:40.
We
have
a
deputy
on
item
di
19.5
Emilie.
Would
you
like
to
come
to
the
front
of
the
room?
The
item
before
us
is
accessibility,
Bloor
Street
bike,
lane
shawl
Street
to
Avenue
Road.
We
have
one
two,
three,
four
more
items
to
go
through
in
just
under
50
minutes.
This
is
a
very
awesome
committee.
We
are
going
to
do
it.
Okay,
because
I
know
many
of
you
may
have
accommodations
with
real
trans
waiting.
So
it's
a
heart.
B
C
Be
extremely
quick
on
this
one
because
I'm
one
of
those
crazy
wheelchair
users
that
I
love
the
bike
lanes,
the
blur
street
bike
lanes
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
the
downtown
ones
that
this
is
what
I
call
these
ones.
Is
the
downtown
lanes
I'm
worried
about
the
traffic
at
Yonge
and
Bloor,
especially
with
the
condo
developments
and
their
amount
of
traffic
there?
Also
Avenue,
Road
I
want
to
see
it
go
all
the
way
east
I
admit.
C
I'm
a
I
will
join
my
clayton
in
that
fight
absolutely
any
day,
but
right
now,
I
use
the
bike
lanes
that
go
between
Ossington
and
where
they
end.
This
end,
I
use
the
bike
lanes
on
River
I
use
bike
lanes
on
Sherbourne
and
Wellesley,
because
the
sidewalks
are
absolutely
garbage
and
I
and
I
hate
to
tell
you
that,
but
they
are
they're
garbage
for
those
of
us
in
chairs
that
have
neuropathy
and
back
issues
and
cerebral
palsy.
That
tends
to
make
us
jump
when
we
startle
and
the
this
hydroxylated.
C
This
way,
you're
doing
your
like
this,
and
it's
really
frustrating
and
it
breaks
our
wheelchairs,
especially
when
curb
cuts
are
only
right
in
the
middle
and
face
the
intersection.
So
bike
lanes
for
me
have
been
an
absolute
godsend
now
that
I
live
downtown
and
I
want
to
see
these
my
Clayton's
come
to
fruition,
but
what
I
want
most
I
don't
want
just
markings
on
the
road
as
a
person
with
disability
who
actively
uses
bike
lanes,
at
least
the
bollards
like
that
are
on
River
Street,
but
the
best
the
most
wanted
ones.
C
I
would
love
to
have
separated
bike
lanes
by
a
physical
separation
because
cars,
delivery,
trucks
all
sit
in
the
bike
lanes.
I
understand
the
wheel
trans
issues,
that's
a
huge
issue
for
the
bike
lanes,
but
one
of
the
biggest
things
is
for
those
of
us
with
wheelchairs,
especially
with
all
the
condo
construction
and
how
narrow
they
make
the
sidewalks
and
they're
hoarding
stuff
bike
lanes
are
actually
safer
for
those
of
us
in
chairs
and
being
both
legally
blind
and
technically
deaf
blind
to
my
right
side.
C
It
makes
it
interesting
dodging
people
in
those
narrow
spots
and
like
thinking
of
Church
and
Carlton
is
a
bad
one,
but
these
bike
lanes
are
definitely
needed
and
I
would
like
to
stand
with
you
guys
and
get
them
done
and
please
make
them
as
accessible
as
possible.
Possibly
a
high
contrast,
color
to
the
rest
of
the
road
would
be
great
I've,
seen
green
I've,
seen,
yellow
I've,
seen
blue
around
Canada
and
in
the
world
Thank
You.
B
B
And
whilst
after
preparing
that,
if
I
want
to
just
if
I
can
just
draw
your
attention
to
some
correspondence
that
came
in
from
walk
Toronto,
just
so
that
in
the
interest
of
time,
if
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
to
read
it,
you
would
have
seen
it
electronically,
but
there's
also
a
copy
on
your
desk.
I
will
be
moving
emotion,
just
in
advance
to
let
you
know
that
I'm
gonna
be
sending
their
correspondence
and
technical
report
to
to
the
executive
committee
to
see
if
staff
can
incorporate
these
very
smart
remarks
in
their
final
designs.
N
Thank
you
for
inviting
us
to
share
information
with
you
regarding
the
Bloor
Street
bike
lanes,
we're
showing
now
a
picture
of
Bloor
Street
how
it
looks
today
with
the
approved
bike
lanes
in
place.
My
name
is
Sean
Dylan
I'm,
the
acting
manager,
cycling,
infrastructure
and
programs.
Here
with
the
City
of
Toronto
and
beside
me,
David
Dunn
project
manager
for
the
blur
Street
bike
lanes.
N
So
for
some
background
in
May,
2016
City
Council
approved
the
implementation
of
a
pilot
project
to
evaluate
bike
lanes
on
Bloor
Street
between
Shaw
and
Avenue
Road
city
staff,
in
conjunction
with
the
BIA
'zed
Toronto
Centre
for
active
transportation.
University
of
Toronto
and
many
other
stakeholders
conducted
extensive
before-and-after
data
collection
to
evaluate
the
effect,
the
cycling
environment,
sorry,
the
effect
on
the
cycling
environment,
the
motoring
environment,
curbside
demands
local
business
and
public
perceptions
in
November,
2017
City
Council
approved
the
permanent
bike
lanes
on
Bloor.
N
The
separation
that
prevents
vehicles
entering
the
bike
lane
also
limits
access
to
the
curb
for
persons
with
accessible
needs.
We
consulted
with
stakeholders
to
help
identify
locations
like
the
one
shown
here
at
Trinity.
St.
Paul's
Church,
where
there
was
a
high
need
for
access
to
the
curb
accessible
needs,
were
also
addressed
after
installation,
with
the
provision
of
a
curb
cut
ramp
at
leh
by
at
3:40
one
Bloor
Street
near
Huron.
N
N
Road
resurfacing
for
bluer
street,
from
Bathurst
to
Avenue
current
is
currently
planned
for
2019
conceptual
design
for
the
cycle
track
is
complete
and
now
ECS
will
begin
detailed
design.
Site-Specific
local
issues
will
be
addressed
during
detailed
design
phase,
which
will
progress
from
now
until
the
end
of
2018
physical
changes
to
the
roadway
design
with
the
resurfacing
is
very
limited,
primarily
due
to
the
drainage
as
a
sidewalk
is
not
being
changed.
N
Different
designs
will
be
required
for
the
different
sections.
I
will
now
turn
things
over
to
David
Dunne,
the
project
manager
for
the
Bloor
Street
bike
lane
as
David
reviews
the
different
options
that
will
be
possible
in
different
sections
of
the
project.
We
would
appreciate
your
help
identifying
any
accessibility
issues
these
options
may
create.
Thank
you.
O
Hello,
so
I'm
gonna
go
through
there's
three
different
options
that
I'm
gonna
review.
The
first
option
is
a
keeping
in
mind
that
the
dimensions
are
relative
to
what's
in
place
right
now,
we'll
stay
about
the
same
and
we've
taken
the
the
cross
sections
that
you
see
Illustrated
for
the
the
bike
lane
that
gonna
be
Illustrated
for
all
the
options
there
are
varying
widths
in
the
across
floor
Street
through
the
the
pilot
area
are
now
the
air
were
gonna,
be
implementing
the
the
permanent
design,
so
don't
focus
too
much
on
the
actual
dimensions.
O
The
the
concept
and
how
the
the
the
cycle
track
will
be
implemented
will
be
approximately
the
same
in
all
the
sections.
The
dimensions
may
change
a
bit
so
on
the
first
section,
where
are
the
first
design
option?
I'm
going
to
describe
is
a
raised
cycle
track
with
a
step
design
and
what
I
mean
by
step
design
is
that
it's
raised
and
separated
with
a
vertical
separation,
curb
that's
orange
curve
between
the
vehicle
lane
or
parking
Lane
and
the
cycle
track,
and
then
another
intermediate
curve.
O
That's
only
two
inches,
so
the
second
step,
stepping
up
again
into
the
boulevard
or
sidewalk
area,
and
that's
a
two
inch
curb
now.
We've
been
advised
that
that
two
inch
or
fifty
millimeter
curve
would
be
cane
detectable.
So
typically,
when
we've
done
some
cycle
track
designs
at
sidewalk
level
in
the
city
before
we've
done
a
tactile
paver
strip
in
between
that's
cane
detectable.
But
in
this
case
with
the
fifty
mil
kerb,
it
would
not
be
required
because
that
would
became
detectable.
So
with
the
step
design.
O
Part
of
the
record
part
of
the
necessity
for
the
the
step
is
that,
as
you
can
see,
the
the
area
between
the
sidewalk
and
the
cycle
track.
That's
where
the
existing
drainage
and
catch
basin
is
so.
We
have
to
bring
the
water
the
slope
of
the
road
and
the
slope
of
the
sidewalk
go
different
directions
and
that's
how
the
water
drains
into
that
catch
basin
area.
O
So
we
have
to
create
the
slope
for
the
cycle
track
to
go
into
that
area
and
to
catch
the
water
and
so
that
that
50
mil
curve
will
catch
the
water
and
then
bring
it
to
the
drainage
services.
So
the
next
slide
shows
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
the
step.
The
step
can
be
either
a
a
barrier,
a
full-face
curb
or
a
step
design-
I'm,
sorry,
a
semi,
mountable
design.
So
the
illustration
there
shows
the
semi
mountable
design,
which
would
be
three
to
one
slope.
O
So
if
it's
going
up
50
millimeters,
then
it
goes
up
that
50
millimeters
over
the
distance
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
millimeters
the
intent
today,
the
the
semi
mountable
that
hopefully
would
help
facilitate
wheelchair
access
across
the
cycle
track.
So
somebody
loading
unloading
from
it.
The
parking
areas
could
do
it
level
with
the
the
parking
onto
the
cycle
track,
but
then
to
have
that
barrier
between
the
cycle
track
and
the
sidewalk
to
have
a
semi
mountable.
Curb,
we
think,
would
facilitate
that
movement.
O
Although
there's
also
the
desire
to
do
a
barrier
Baz
a
possibility,
because
with
a
semi
mountable
or
a
flush
curb
there's
the
the
issue
of
cyclists
traveling
into
the
pedestrian
area
and
a
full-face
curb
or
a
90
degree
curb,
would
help
deter
that
movement.
If
we
do
go
with
that
design,
there's
the
opportunities
to
make
localized
curb
depressions
to
facilitate
crossing
over
those
areas.
O
The
second
design
option
is,
as
I
said
again,
it's
it's
difficult.
It
would
be
the
fully
level
and
there's
some
errors
where
we
would
want
to
have
a
fully
level
access
across
the
sidewalk
and
the
cycle
track,
for
example,
at
bus
stops,
and
in
this
case
it
would
be
a
hundred
and
fifty
millimeter
curb
that
between
the
vehicle
lane
and
the
cycle
track,
and
then
the
drainage
again
would
come
into
that
the
the
existing
location,
but
now
it
wouldn't
be
caught
by
the
curb
lead,
a
caught
by
a
trench
drain.
O
The
issues
with
the
trench
drains
are
over.
We
have
done
them
in
the
past
as
you'll
see
in
the
next
slide
at
bus
stops,
but
over
a
long
distance
debris
everything
gets,
gets
trapped
in
them
and
they're
there
they're
very
hard
to
maintain,
and
if
they
get
clogged
it's
it
would
be
difficult
to
maintain
them.
So
we
would
only
do
them.
We
don't
want
to
do
it
over
long
distance,
but
over
short
distances.
O
The
last
design
is
in
areas
as
I
said
that,
with
their
resurfacing
it's
difficult
to
to
incorporate
a
design,
it's
not
a
full
rebuild
or
just
resurfacing,
so
they,
the
slopes
of
the
roadway
and
the
sidewalk,
are
generally
maintained,
and
we
have
to
incorporate
a
design
into
that,
and
sometimes
those
grades
don't
work
out.
There's
there's
limits
on
how
how
much
slope
we
can
put
to
both
of
them
or
if
how
far
out
we
can
build
the
extension
in
some
situations.
O
We
can't
do
a
raised
design,
and
in
that
case
we
would
keep
essentially
the
same
design
that
we
have
out
now
with
bollards
and
paint,
and
then
we
could
supplement
those
to
enhance
the
separation.
We
there,
the
curb
stones
with
bollards
on
top
or
as
we've
done
on
Wellesley
we
could
do.
This
is
called
a
port
in
place
kerb.
O
Our
preference
right
now
would
be
probably
be
to
do
a
precast,
so
we
could
they
they
would
be
placed
and
and
pinned
into
the
roadway,
but
they
would
give
the
opportunity
to
a
better
opportunity
to
either
move
them
in
certain
situations
create
breaks
in
them
and
we
can't
always
anticipate
where
those
breaks
might
be
in
the
pre
design
of
the
design
until
it's
actually
physically
built.
So
that
gives
it
would
give
us
more
flexibility.
D
O
O
Enough
space
in
between
where
the
barriers
are
for
the
cars
to
pull
over
and
emergency
vehicles
to
pass
the
one
section
where
it's
constrained
is
between
Bathurst
and
and
Spadina,
in
which
case
we
don't
have
a
separation
on
the
north
side
and
even
with
the
resurfacing
we
still
would
not
have
both.
So.
L
N
Guess
that's
part
of
why
we're
here
is
to
get
some
advice
from
the
community,
we're
looking
for
better
alternatives,
we're
hoping
that
some
of
the
designs
that
design
options
that
you've
seen
today
are
better
alternatives,
and
certainly
what
we
are
recommending
wherever
it
can
fit,
is
the
option
one,
but
recognizing
that
this
is
a
resurfacing.
So
our
options
to
move
the
sidewalks
are
extremely
limited.
So
you
know
we
would
be
implementing
option.
N
L
D
Looking
at
with
respect
to
distance
of
parking
from
intersections,
because
I
know
that's,
when
we
redid
the
lane,
it
actually
took
up
quite
a
bit
of
space.
The
new
distance
requirements
which
were
about
safety
I
get
it.
But
the
illustration
in
particular
has
the
parking
just
within
meters
of
an
intersection,
a
nun,
signalized
intersection.
It
looks
like,
but
an
intersection
on
the
line,
and
so
perhaps
we
can
do
an
evaluation
of
what
some
other
jurisdictions
are
doing.
D
N
O
B
J
Well,
it
just
does
a
comment.
It
would
seem
to
me
that
the
option
with
the
paint
and
the
bollards
that
stick
up
to
3
feet
whatever
they
are,
that
is
probably
your
most
flexible
option
in
terms
of
being
able
to
adjust
it
in
the
future
because
poured
concrete
ins
and
such
once.
It's
there
it's
that
they
had
thought
of
effort
and
money
to
change
it
and
plus
it
probably
gives
the
best
protection
to
pedestrians
is
in
that
the
existing
90
degree
vertical.
J
Curb
is
still
there
and
the
other
comment
is
the
parking
gets
moved
away
from
the
curb
and
is
more
out
into
the
lane,
and
you've
got
the
bike
lane
now
between
the
parked
cars
and
the
curb
correct.
So
my
vehicle
has
a
ramp
on
the
side,
so,
if
I
were
to
park
there,
my
ramp
would
be
right
on
into
the
bus
lane
or
sorry
the
bike
lane
and
be
exposed
to
any
bikers
and
whatever
that's
going
by
at
the
time.
J
B
B
B
We
can
take
away
all
possible
infrastructure
designs
that
create
accidents.
We
don't
cause
more,
but
this
committee
has,
in
the
past,
been
pitted
against
cycling,
advocates
so
vulnerable.
One
vulnerable
group
pitted
against
of
another
vulnerable
group
with
respect
to
road
safety,
not
a
good
place
for
us
to
be
in
and
I
think
that
these
recommendations
from
walk
Toronto
is
something
that
we
can
all
pretty
much
get
behind,
because
they
bring
a
balance
to
to
the
conversation
that
that
I
believe
can
be
supported
and
and
and
so
then.
B
So
that's
the
motion
and
with
respect
to
the
the
next
step.
So
please,
you
know,
keep
us
informed.
We
would
like
to
know
what
happens
afterwards
and
considering
that
2019
is
the
timeline
for
the
resurfacing,
which
means
that
you're
gonna
be
dropping
some
variants
in
expensive
infrastructure
into
the
road.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
it
meets
the
needs
of
all
road
users
before
that's
done.
Okay,
so
thank
you
very
much.
There's
a
motion
on
the
screen
before
you
all
those
in
favor.
B
B
C
But
I'm
gonna
be
as
quick
as
I
can
because
I
know
we're
strapped
I'm
three
big
things
with
the
accessibility
around
construction
sites
number
one
and
Kristyn
wong-tam
you'll
know
exactly
what
I
mean
when
I
say
this
Church
and
Carlton
need.
We
mentioned
trying
to
get
on
the
buses
that
are
replacing
the
streetcars
when
you're
in
a
power
chair,
it's
not
fun,
you're
blocking
the
sidewalk
when
you're
trying
to
get
on
the
bus.
There's
a
lot
of
poles,
there's
a
very
narrow
walkway.
C
The
hoarding
has
made
that
La
Cueva
more
narrow
the
sidewalks,
not
in
the
best
of
condition:
visually
impaired
people
I've,
oh
man,
my
husband's
legally
blind
and
my
totally
blind
friends
you're
walking
over
there
one
time
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
my
friend
goes
face
first
into
one
of
the
poles
that
are
holding
up
the
hoarding.
His
cane
didn't
catch
it
because
the
pole
comes
down
and
the
inner
piece
has
a
piece
that
angles
in
it.
C
Rounds
in
like
on
a
curve
comes
down,
and
it's
only
from
three
quarters
from
the
top
to
three
quarters
from
the
bottom
of
the
pole,
and
he
just
slammed
his
face
right
into
it,
because
the
cane
didn't
catch
it
and
it's
poor
guide
dog
I
mean
the
next
week
he's
like
forget
it
I'm
bringing
the
guide
dog
well,
yeah
that
time
the
poor
guys
don't
get
smushed
so
by
people
just
walking
way
too
fast,
not
watching
where
they're
going
cell
phones
in
their
faces.
The
construction
of
Eglinton
is
a
nightmare.
C
If
you're
in
a
wheelchair,
in
your
wheelchair
user,
don't
use
a
clinton
station,
don't
use
any
of
the
businesses
around
there,
because
it's
impossible
they've
got
one
narrow
piece
of
sidewalk
open
right
now,
that's
full
of
hoarding!
That
is
an
absolute
nightmare.
If
you're
in
a
wheelchair
of
visual
impairment,
much
less
being
totally
blind
with
a
guide
dog
there's,
just
the
construction
is
getting
out
of
control,
I'm
downtown!
Now.
Thank
you!
Lord
and
there's
the
old
library
administrative
building
has
been
torn
down,
but
the
construction
company
who's
running
it
don't
shovel
the
sidewalk.
C
Yet
in
community
there's
around
sixty
people
in
wheelchairs
and
people
with
disabilities,
they
need
to
use
that
side
to
get
to
the
only
grocery
store
in
the
area
and
dollar
a
mine
library
and
all
of
that,
and
we
have
to
walk
there.
Well,
you
can't
go
through
the
stomach,
so
you're
going
through
a
very
narrow
lane
of
Front
Street,
where
cars
are
zooming
by
because
it
uses
as
a
bypass
from
the
gardener
and
the
DVP.
C
You
could
get
mowed
down
at
any
time.
Another
big
problem
with
construction
sites
that
I'm
seeing
is
there's
condos
going
up
in
my
area.
Tons
of
them
trucks
are
sitting
on
curb
cuts.
Trucks
are
in
the
way
there
they're,
not
you
know,
will
trans
can't
get
through
in
it's
an
absolute
cluster,
especially
the
bottom
of
Bayview
and
I
wish
counts
are
true.
C
C
was
here
the
other
thing
I'm
having
problems
with
is
the
downtown
core,
and
this
is
Krista
want
Am's
area,
there's
construction
sites
in
your
area
for
condos,
like
Yonge
and
Bloor,
to
get
in
the
accessible
entrance.
The
Hayden
Street
entrance
of
Yonge
and
Bloor
station
I
have
to
drive
on
the
road
because
there's
no
sidewalk
available
on
that
side
of
the
street,
so
you
come
across
hate
and
you
gotta
cross,
hey,
didn't
risk
your
life
because
there's
trucks
just
coming
in
and
out
and
it's
stuff
like
that
and
the
hoarding
coming
up.
C
Yonge
Street
is
too
narrow.
You
know
these
companies,
the
the
pulls
for
the
hoarding,
are
great.
They
should
be
a
high
contrast.
Color.
You
know,
there's
a
little
bit
north
of
college.
There's
construction
just
before
the
McDonald's,
it's
poorly
signed.
People
with
wheelchairs
are
falling
off
the
curb
cut
where
there
is
no
curb
cut.
They
can't
see
where
the
actual
curb
cuts
are
I
mean
how
expensive
is
it
to
paint
the
patch
of
concrete
you've
put
in
to
make
a
curb
cut?
How
expensive
is
it
to
paint
that
yellow?
C
You
know
I'm
getting
really
really
fed
up
with
these
condo
developers
in
these
different
construction
projects
that
have
absolutely
no
thought
to
people
with
disabilities
and
it's
getting
absolutely
stupid,
especially
if
you
live
downtown
with
all
the
condo
construction,
much
less.
The
road,
crews
and
construction
trucks
in
Scarborough
sitting
in
the
middle
of
curb
cuts
for
the
streetcars
they're
not
being
cleared
out
there's
construction
trucks
also
sitting
there.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
having
this.
One
of
my
big
pet
peeves
right
now
is
on
Kate,
along
King
Street
Emily.

The
new
business
that
was
added
di
1910,
essentially
it
was
a
letter
from
the
from
Terry
n
Langdon
from
the
working
group
of
transportation.
So
it's
been
added
and
yen.
Would
you
like
to
move
that?
Would
you
yeah
okay,
so
doing
do
I
need
to
read
this
out
loud,
no,
okay.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
the
recommendations
in
the
letter
any
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you.
We
are
being
very
efficient
and
so
we've
already
dealt
with
0.9.
B
M
Morning,
yes,
good
afternoon
now,
thank
you
for
inviting
me.
My
name
is
Eric
Jensen.
The
new
manager
of
traffic
operations
setting
up
a
unit
to
deal
with
construction
coordination,
citywide
and
traffic
mitigation
I
will
apologize
to
the
members.
The
report
you
have
in
front
of
you
or
the
presentation
you
have
in
front
of
you-
differs
from
the
one
that's
on
the
screen.
Only
as
far
as
the
template
being
a
new
transplant
back
to
transportation,
I
didn't
get
the
transportation
services
presentation
template
until
after
I'd
already
submitted.
M
M
M
Left
this
screen
in
though
or
this
slide
in
that
speaks
to
a
new
mission,
new
vision
and
new
principles
for
transportation
services,
as
we
go
forward
because
it
speaks
to
connecting
people
to
their
places
into
their
city
and
to
access
and
and
and
to
continue
to
allow
people
to
move
safely.
And
that's
what
we're
looking
to
do
here.
So
how
do
we
ensure
the
integration
of
accessibility
requirements
into
work
zone
design?
M
M
Under
the
Highway
Traffic
Act,
the
Ministry
of
Transportation
publishes
the
Ontario
traffic
manual
or
otm.
The
manual
is
comprised
of
22
books
and
is
intended
to
provide
information
and
guidance
for
transportation.
Practitioners
like
the
members
of
transportation
services,
with
the
City
of
Toronto
to
provide
uniformity
of
treatment
in
the
design,
application
and
operation
of
traffic
control
devices
and
systems
across
Ontario,
which
is
consistent
with
the
intent
of
the
HTA
of
these
22
books,
book
15,
pedestrian
control
and
protection
and
book
7.
M
Temporary
conditions
relate
more
specifically
to
the
issue
of
accessibility
at
construction
sites,
and
we
were
when
we
refer
to
construction
sites.
We
are
only
referring
to
sites
that
are
located
within
the
public
highway
or
within
within
City
of
Toronto
roads.
We've
heard
a
number
of
folks
this
morning
talk
about
issues
and
I'm,
noting
those
as
we
go
so.
M
Ontario
traffic
manual
book
15
sets
out
guidelines
consistent
with
the
Highway
Traffic
Act,
with
respect
to
pedestrian
crossing
applications
and
again
provides
a
basis
for
Road
authorities
to
generate
and
update
them
with
their
own
guidelines
and
standards.
It
is
through
these
guidelines
that
the
Ministry
of
Transportation
incorporates
the
provisions
of
the
AODA
into
the
technical
design
and
functional
operation
of
pedestrian
crossings
and
pedestrian
facilities
with
a
view
to
providing
barrier-free
access.
M
Section
two:
six
two
of
book:
seven
specifically
deals
with
pedestrian
safety
considerations
when
staff
go
out
and
meet
with
constructors,
whether
it's
part
of
Capitol
work,
whether
it's
part
of
private
development,
whether
reviewing
submitted
construction
traffic
management
plans.
There
are
pedestrian
safety
considerations
that
we
look
to
address
in
all
temporary
control,
layouts
to
determine
the
extent
of
pedestrian
accommodation
required,
observed.
Existing
pedestrian
travel
patterns.
And/Or
meet
with
the
local
community
to
assess
the
impact
on
those.
M
Basically,
stick
elated
in
every
permit
issued
by
the
City
of
Toronto
for
use
of
a
public
highway,
so
use
of
a
Street
sidewalk
Boulevard,
whether
for
construction
events
or
film
all
are
issued
subject
to
compliance
with
the
provisions
of
HT,
a
and
o
TM
book.
Seven,
all
occupiers
of
the
public
highway
under
the
provisions
of
these
permits
are
required
to
ensure
their
temporary
condition.
Setups
provide
safe
barrier,
free
access
for
all
users
in
connection
with
activities
and
where
pedestrian
facilities
are
not
able
to
be
safely
maintained
through
or
directly
adjacent.
M
As
we
move
forward,
the
new
unit
is
being
set
up,
it
won't
actually
take
hold
until
the
transportation
services.
Divisional
reorg
is
completed
this
year,
but
in
the
interim
you
know,
these
concerns
are
definitely
things
that
we
can
speak
to
within
transportation
services
through
the
the
SMC.
Sorry,
the
safety
mobility
committee
that
I
sit
on
that's
actually
meeting
presently
and
also
the
works
on
subgroup
to
ensure
that
we
elevate
the
level
of
understanding
of
the
issues
that
exist
out
there
at
construction
sites.
M
I
read
the
letter
that
came
in
from
the
walk,
Toronto
folks
and
the
recommendations
that
they've
made
within
those,
and
you
know
off
the
top
looking
at
them.
All
of
them
seem,
you
know,
to
fall
within
the
existing
regulations
and
legislation
that
we
currently
have.
It's
simply
a
matter
of
doing
better
and
making
sure
that
the
provisions
of
those
pieces
of
legislation
and
by
law
are
addressed
going
forward.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
very
much
Eric
for
your
presentation.
Do
we
have
questions
for
Eric,
okay,
so
I
see
a
hey,
a
whack
of
hands,
go
up,
just
slow
down,
I'm
gonna,
acknowledge
Wendy,
yen
and
then
Monica,
and
on
this
side
of
the
room,
I
see
row,
hemas
hand,
Martin
and
Stephanie.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
before
we
begin
the
round
of
questions.
B
If
I
can
just
ask
if
I
can
get
a
mover
to
extend
this
meeting
because
we're
not
going
to
break
for
lunch,
we're
going
to
work
right
through
it
and
Monica
is
motioning
to
extend
to
finish
the
agenda
correct.
Okay,
everyone
is
agreement,
all
those
in
favor
any
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you
very
much
so
Wendy.
Please
proceed.
E
Hi
there
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
a
general
question,
because
I
really
truly
don't
know
in
the
event
that
there's
a
person
with
a
disability
who
experiences
the
kind
of
situation
that
we
heard
about
with
Emily
this
morning.
So
somebody
comes
across
a
construction
site.
Somebody
with
a
disability
and
literally
can't
get
down
the
sidewalk.
What
are
they
supposed
to
do?
Is
there
a
procedure
for
who
they
contact?
M
Through
your
chair,
there's
a
site
superintendent
at
all
of
the
construction
sites.
If
it's
private
construction
like
developer,
related
at
City
of
Toronto
construction
sites,
that
would
deal
with
sidewalk
or
rotary
construction,
TTC
track
reconstruction
sewer
water,
main
reconstruction,
there
are
site
representatives
that
are
there
and
they're
there
to
address
those
issues.
The
the
pre-construction
meeting
that
staff
would
have
had
there
would
have
been.
You
know
the
expression
of
the
requirements,
as
well
as
the
documentation
to
ensure
that
those
types
of
obstructions
don't
exist
and
they
need
to
be
addressed.
B
E
M
Wouldn't
be
at
those
types
of
sites,
no
I
mean
short
of
that
again.
It's
it's
a
more
of
a
more
of
a
delayed
process,
but
going
through
three
one,
one.
It
get
through
to
us
directly
that
way
as
well,
but
at
an
individual
construction
site
I.
Don't
believe
that
there
is
any
information
posted
with
respect
to
that.
But
I
mean
it's.
You
know
first
person,
you
see
we're
on
our
hardhat
and
a
vest
seriously
I
mean
you.
M
M
Your
chair,
I,
will
be
the
unit
that
we're
setting
up
to
deal
with
construction
coordination
on
a
citywide
basis
is
meant
to
elevate
and
standardize.
The
the
way
construction
presents
itself
on
the
street
and
I
would
hope
that
we
would
be
setting
up
some
sort
of
a
communication
protocol
within
that
we
haven't
begun
that
work
yet
I.
M
Don't
like
the
idea
of
having
to
go
through
three
one,
one
more
than
anybody
else
does
truthfully
with
the
delay
that
you
get.
I
mean,
if
someone's
out
there
they're
having
an
accessibility
issue.
Is
there
then,
in
the
moment
and
and
and
that
needs
to
be
addressed,
then
with
a
site
rep
I
mean?
Are
there
are
ten
of
our
staff
that
would
deal
with
all
construction
citywide?
H
M
For
your
chair,
I
know
and
I,
don't
know
that
people
would
have
the
information
at
hand
then
either
until
such
time
as
that
unit
is
set
up.
All
those
issues
get
routed
through
transportation
services,
district
offices
through
the
manager
of
traffic
operations
to
their
staff.
If
it's
correct,
if
the
intent
is
to
route
well,.
L
L
There's
a
condo
going
up
right
beside
where
I
live
and
there
used
to
be
a
chain-link
fence
and
people
using
different
assistive
devices,
shopping
carts
and
strollers
I
have
witnessed
them
almost
going
into
the
construction
site
into
the
pit
into
the
hole.
There
was
a
person
using
a
white
cane
and
I
I.
Don't
know
what
the
technical
word
is:
I
call
it
the
feet
of
the
chain-link
fence.
It
keeps
on
rotating
and
moving
and
the
person
using
a
white
cane
tripped
and
fell,
and.
M
Through
your
chair,
it's
going
to
depend
on
the
nature
of
the
work
taking
place
within
it.
Usually
we
have
covered
sidewalk
and
hoarding
or
channeling
fence.
On
the
on
the
on
the
interior
side,
when
materials
are
being
hoisted
overhead,
that
would
usually
mean
that
the
material
would
be
hoisted
from
the
roadway
over
the
sidewalk
within
the
site.
M
As
far
as
the
the
maintenance
of
the
the
the
site
protection
now,
that's
something
that
the
the
you
know
whether
it's
transportation
services,
they're
called
TSS
transportation
standards,
officers
patrollers
anybody
whose
city
staff
out
there
in
transportation
who
sees
an
open
pit
excavation,
that's
not
protected.
You
should
be
stopping
their
vehicle
on
going
in
and
saying
hey.
You
guys
need
to
attend
to
this.
Now.
M
L
I
J
There
I
just
had
a
question
about
how
to
get
the
information
to
the
people,
because
one
of
the
things,
of
course
you
you've
addressed,
was
that
you
know
there
it's
kind
of
difficult
to
get
that
information
out
there.
But
I
was
wondering
if
you
had
ever
envisioned
having
newsletters
or
some
social
media,
such
as
Twitter
or
Facebook,
and
so
that
even
better
would
be
to
get
a
database
where
you
could
put
in
your
your
postal
code
and
you
could
get
a
list
of
what
is
being
developed
around
your
area
as
well.
M
Three
chair:
to
my
knowledge:
no,
it
hasn't
been,
but
I'm
happy
to
take
suggestions
and
we
can
discuss
internally
within
transportation
services.
There
is
part
of
the
new
congestion
management
plan
is
to
is
to
take
advantage
of
and
make
use
of,
new
and
emerging
technology
to
get
the
information
out
to
more
people
than
in
a
more
timely
fashion
in
a
more
usable
way.
So
we
would
have
to
look
at
every
option
that
exists
like
the
ones
that
you're
suggesting.
M
Q
M
Q
The
second
thing
is
about
what
I
don't
understand
is
if
we
receive
for
a
Road
occupation.
Permit
the
layout
that's
going
to
be
used
this
book
7
says:
if
there's
going
to
be
that
that
it
must
meet
the
AODA
requirements,
so
you
must
get
plans.
Why
would
you
wish
you
anything
that
does
not
meat
AODA
requirements?
The.
M
Q
Q
Q
M
You're
not
so
so,
I've
seen
some
instances
where
sidewalks
would
be
closed,
mid
block,
you
simply
don't
want
persons
coming
down
the
sidewalk
mid
block
and
then
being
told
sidewalks
closed
going
to
the
side.
There
has
to
be
somebody
there
to
facilitate
that
safe
crossing
and
stop
the
traffic.
If
it's
more
than
one
lane,
okay,
a
police
officer,
is
required
instead
of
a
flag
person.
All.
Q
Right
so,
but
in
your
answers
to
the
other
person
who
do
I
call
when
I
encounter
this
situation,
this
says
there
must
be
somebody
there
and
you've
just
said:
there
must
be
somebody
there
to
assist
so
I
presume
the
police
officer
or
the
flag
person
or
whomever
is
there
to
assist
someone
safely
to
pass
that
construction
site.
Yes,
the
expectation
people
should
have
that's.
M
Q
M
Q
I'm
not
even
talking
about
having
it
closed,
mid
block,
I'm
talking
about
where
it's
narrow
or
where
there's
a
hole
that
somebody's
just
about
to
fall
in
the
hole
or
where
it's
unsafe
generally.
Should
we
expect
that
the
police
officers
are
going
to
assist
in
those
sites
because,
quite
often,
and
what
is
frustrating
watching
them
is
they're
talking
looking
at
the
construction
site
enjoying.
M
M
M
Q
M
B
H
This
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
I.
Remember
one
of
my
first
things:
what
the
accessibility
committee
was
a
presentation
on
the
fact
that
I
was
blocked
completely
from
getting
to
work
because
of
a
new
construction
site,
and
so
I
really
hope
that
this
new
committee,
that's
coming
together
in
November,
will
work
really
closely
with
us
to
make
these
things
happen.
3
1,
1
doesn't
work.
There
has
to
be
another
way
to
deal
with
this,
for
I
can
give
examples
of
calling
3
1
what
I'm
telling
them.
H
There's
an
accessibility
issue,
they're
taking
down
the
information
and
I
go
back
the
next
day
and
nothing
has
changed.
So
you
know
there
has
to
be
a
known
way
of
getting
this
stuff
dealt
with.
There
has
to
be
an
understanding
by
the
construction
people
that,
yes,
their
life
is
rough
and
rough,
and
they
have
a
lot
of
stuff
to
do,
but
they
really
have
to
pay
attention
to
this
sort
of
thing.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
being
here.
H
J
E
Really
more
of
a
suggestion,
I
think
the
you
know
you
can
see.
Obviously
you've
seen
and
you've
heard
about
the
the
barriers
that
people
are
coming
up
against
and
when
we
were
talking
earlier
about
who
do
you
complain
to
I
really
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
something
that
is
coordinated
and
that
people
are
aware
of
in
terms
of
you
know,
out
of
minutes
notice,
you
come
across
the
situation
that
you
really
cannot
get
around.
You
know
to
look
for
some
kind
of
a
poster,
or
you
know
you.
E
You
know
to
look
for
a
person
that
has
some
kind
of
a
designation
that
you
can
go
to
that.
You
know,
will
support
you
at
that
time
in
trying
to
get
around
that
situation.
So,
honestly,
it
was
completely
new
to
me
today
to
hear
that
a
police
officer
as
councillor
Davis
was
saying
it
should
be
a
person
that
you
could
go
to
and
say,
I
can't
get
around
this
barrier.
You
know
making
that
kind
of
information.
More
broadly
known
to
this
community
would
be
very
helpful.
E
J
Wanted
to
add
to
that
actually,
because
I've
been
dealing
where
I
live
with
the
crosstown
construction,
and
the
first
thing
I
did
was
call
3-1-1
and
then
realized
that
they
across
town
actually
has
a
direct
number
I
called
them,
and
things
started
moving
very
quickly.
So
if
we
could
have
a
centralized
number
like
that
for
other
projects,
I
know
this
is
a
huge
project.
So
I
understand
you
know
the
dynamics,
but
if
we
could
have
something
similar,
so
if
you
could
take
a
page
out
of
their
story
book,
that
would
be
a
stick.
B
M
K
It's
sort
of
further
speaks
to
what
you
just
mentioned,
but
a
suggestion
to
be
if
there
were
a
more
simple
language,
a
lot
of
those
the
city
posted
items
are
full
of
a
lot
of
different
kinds
of
information,
Werther,
a
separate
one
that
was
sort
of
a
construction
site
for
one
one
for
really
quick,
simple
to
read
information.
If
you
spot
non-compliance,
call
fill
in
the
blank.
K
Yes,
I
mean
there
are
the
things
for
sign,
variances
and
zoning
changes,
and
this
can
permit
numbers
and
all
that
it's
all
needed
to
be
there,
obviously,
but
a
separate
posted
sign,
perhaps
in
a
bright
noticeable
color
that
stands
out
from
the
rest
of
the
signage.
That's
quick
reference
info
just
by
way
suggestion.
B
G
G
B
Thank
you
very
much
Michael.
Anyone
else
final
remarks.
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
move
a
motion.
This
is
motion
number
six
here,
I'm,
just
gonna
read
it
out
loud
that
the
executive
committee
director
general
manager,
transportation,
is
to
review
the
comments
and
the
letter
from
walk
to
Toronto
walked
around
and
report
to
the
wrong
accessibility
committee
in
the
first
quarter
of
2019
on
the
feasibility
of
implementing
the
recommendations
and
and
staff.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation,
as
you've
noted
with
the
the
number
of
questions
and
also
the
the
the
remarks.
B
B
In
war,
27
I
know,
Emily
was
commenting
about
Church
and
Carlton
this
the
sidewalks
there
were
already
substandard
to
start
off
with
less
than
1.5
meters
to
begin
with
the
construction
site
in
May
worse
by
the
time
the
building
is
complete
and
the
construction
is
complete.
You're
going
to
have
much
broader,
wider,
improved
pedestrian
realm
and
the
Piazza
that's
in
front
of
it.
This
is
a
common
occurrence
at
every
construction
site,
whether
it's
institutional
builds
like
the
courthouse
or
perhaps
residential
towers.
B
What
will
be
revealed
afterwards
is
generally
better
than
what
was
there
in
its
current
condition,
but
during
the
interim
period
it
certainly
is
very,
very
messy
to
the
point
that
it's
inaccessible.
We
do
individual
efforts,
different
communities
to
advocate
for
more
accessible
construction
sites,
but
it's
not
system-wide
and
I.
Think
the
challenge
that
I
see
in
the
in
the
report
that
was
or
the
presentation
today
is
that
there
isn't
quite
the
strategy
for
the
system-wide
proactive
implementation.
B
It
should
not
be
left
to
the
community
to
respond
to
to
complaint,
because,
quite
honestly,
if,
if
Universal,
Design
and
Complete
Streets
was
incorporated
and
everything
we
do
even
during
the
interim
process
of
construction,
we
shouldn't
have
to
call
to
complain.
Having
clear
communication
will
certainly
be
helpful,
but
it's
a
bye-bye.
My
by
my
observations.
B
We
have
to
turn
the
paradigm
around
and
make
sure
that
its
purpose
built
with
accessibility
in
every
single
step
of
the
process,
including
a
spectacular
public
realm,
that's
going
to
be
unveiled
when
the
messy
construction
site
is
finally
brought
to
a
close,
and
six
meters.
Sidewalks
is
what
we
aim
for
in
downtown
Toronto
now,
with
every
single
new
application,
and
ten
meter
sidewalks
is,
is
the
the
vision
for
a
young
Street
of
the
future
from
Davenport
to
Queens
key
that
is
going
to
require
a
lot
of
construction.
B
I
would
hate
to
think
that
during
the
construction
period,
everything
is
closed
and
it's
messy
for
everyone,
especially
when
we
know
in
other
cities.
It
can
be
accommodated.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
for
the
presentation
and
for
the
remarks.
If
there's
no
other
speakers,
maybe
we
can
just
vote
on
the
motion
and
all
those
in
favor.
Thank
you
any
opposed
that
carries
thanks,
Eric
for
your
thank
you
thanks
and
congratulations
on
your
new
posts.
Okay,
yeah.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
So
we
have
two
final
items:
I
think
they
have
two
final
items:
yeah
we
have
two
final
items:
I
believe
they're
fairly.
Quick
Deidre
you've
been
so
patient
with
us.
Thank
you
Deidre.
He
is
here
to
provide
a
presentation
for
di
19.7,
Toronto
accessibility,
Advisory,
Committee,
outstanding
2017
agenda
items,
I.
L
L
Okay,
so
disability
issues
related
to
policing
in
Toronto
that
was
approved
by
executive
committee
and
adopted
by
council.
We
are
still
waiting
for
the
Toronto
Police
Services
Board
to
respond
to
that
and
I
can
follow
up
with
the
Toronto
services
police
service
board
to
invite
them
to
the
next
TAC
meeting.
L
This
is
also.
The
next
item
is
the
City
of
Toronto
Public
Appointments
process,
and
this
is
outstanding
in
that
the
city
clerk
will
report
to
tech
annually.
They
have
agreed
to
a
report
to
tuck
annually
and
actually
would
have
been
here
today,
but
our
agenda
was
too
tight,
so
they
will
be
coming
on
June
20th
to
report
back
and,
as
you
know,
we
we
worked
with
Public
Appointments
to
the
point
and
have
two
new
members,
so
they
have
been
very
involved
with
supporting
this
committee.
L
The
private
ramps
on
public
right-of-way,
that
was
in
September
council,
adopted
in
November
seven,
eight
and
ninth
work
is
currently
in
process
a
progress
progress
on
this
and
we
are
expecting
an
update
in
the
second
and
third
quarter,
some
of
some
examples
and
they
did
they
presented
on
the
27th.
But
some
of
the
challenges
that
they
are
facing
with
I
mean
with
licensing
and
with
the
the
the
ramps
such
as
the
stopgap
ramps
and
I,
will
also
invite
transportation
planning
to
give
us
a
report
at
the
next
June
20th
TAC
meeting
and
on
December
4th.
L
We
decided
or
you
the
tack,
decided
to
request
a
presentation
from
our
information
technology
staff
and
that
was
adopted
and
we
are
expecting
a
presentation
on
June
20th
I
have
been
in
touch
with
staff
from
information
and
technology
and
they
want
to
come
and
talk
about
the
new
website
and
those
are
really
the
that
that
that's
all
of
the
outstanding
items
there
were
some
other
updates
that
I
know
people
are
in.
The
committee
are
interested
in
the
employment
accessibility
at
the
City
of
Toronto.
L
It
was
adopted,
and
the
decision
is
that
TAC
is
to
be
consulted
prior
to
Human
Resources,
some
submitting
reports
to
Executive
Committee
relating
to
hiring
of
persons
with
disabilities.
The
festival
and
events
funding
program
criteria
was
adopted
by
City
Council
and
city
staff
are
working
on
developing
that
process.
What
that's
going
to
look
like
and
how
that's
going
to
work
in
terms
of
ensuring
that
anyone
applying
for
funding
for
festivals
and
events
is
including
accessibility
plans
and,
finally,
the
multi-year
accessibility
plan.
L
B
I
L
B
Anyone
else
with
comments,
okay,
I'd
like
to
move
a
motion,
and
and
and
this
is
to
try
to
avert
the
black
hole
of
City
Hall,
where
motions
and
good
intentions
are
moved
and
adopted
and
they
disappear
forever.
So
we
want
to
resuscitate
that
and
that
Sidewalk
for
all
campaigned
around
the
m.
The
toronto
sidewalks
a
new
bylaw,
the
new
guidelines-
and
this
is
a
motion
that
that
yen,
I'm
gonna
be
saying
this
is
again
inspired
by
yen.
But
also
I
made
reference
to
the
letter
that
came
from
the
st.
lawrence
neighborhood
association.
B
So
I'm
just
gonna
read
it
out
loud.
They
that
did
executive
committee
request
staff
to
expedite
the
studies
requested
by
the
joint
committee
of
licensing
and
standards
and
the
Public
Works
and
Infrastructure
committee's
on
the
Toronto
sidewalk
cafes
on
December
4
2017,
so
that
this
research
can
be
conducted
in
the
summer
months
of
2018
when
cafe
and
closures
are
in
place
and
that
staff
can
report
and
the
results
in
January
or
as
early
as
possible
in
2019.
I.
B
Think
that
this
committee,
who
had
been
very
active
in
that
campaign,
will
probably
share
the
concerns
that
we
don't
want
that
report
to
disappear
forever.
We
know
that
the
city
staff
would
work
really
hard
on
that
report.
Work
very
work,
very
diligent
to
bring
balance
to
the
discussion
and
I
think
that
there
was
some
very
legitimate
concerns
that
perhaps
that
report
would
disappear
and
not
come
back
any
time
soon.
So
our
request
is
just
make
sure
you
bring
it
back
and
let's
not
delay
this
any
further,
all
those
in
favor
any
opposed
that
carries.
B
And
Diedre.
Thank
you.
Our
last
item
is
d.
I
19.8
city
of
toronto,
corporate
accessibility
policy.
I
originally
held
it
for
for
emily
who's
left,
so
she's
no
longer
speaking,
are
there
any
questions
of
staff
cuz
we're
not
receiving
a
presentation,
okay,
seeing
none!
It's
pretty
straightforward!
You've
you've
actually
seen
the
you
seen
an
edition
of
the
report,
not
to
mention
the
city.
Staff
have
been
in
consultation
with
the
employment
working
group
committee,
as
well
as
the
Communications
Committee.
B
So
if,
if
everyone
is
okay
with
it
can
I
have
a
mover
to
adopt
the
recommendations
and
report.
Okay,
I
acknowledge
Michael.
First
sorry
Michael!
Thank
you
all
those
in
favor
any
opposed
that
carries
so
good
work,
everyone
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
this
very
full
agenda.
We
did
go
half
an
hour
over
and
for
those
who
stayed
at
with
us
to
finish
the
agenda
I
want
to
thank
you.
B
We
have
one
more
meeting
to
this
this
committee
and
that's
the
June
20th
meeting
so
that'll
be
our
last
one
well
see
if
I
can
find
some
money
to
squirrel
away
to
maybe
provide
a
lunch
because
we
we
wanted
to
provide
some
some
celebratory.
We
thought
we
were
going
to
celebrate
the
ends
of
the
at
the
end
of
the
sidewalks
for
all
campaign.
It
kind
of
dragged
out.
We
did
provide
some
food,
but
many
of
you
were
not
there.
B
So
I'd
like
to
try
that
again
and
that'll
be
for
the
June
20th
meeting,
so
bring
your
stomach
at
that
time
and
of
course
we
have
the
National
accessibility
week
that
was
proclaimed
by
sort
of
federally
and
we'll
be
proclaiming
that
week
at
the
City
of
Toronto
as
well.
So
you
can
watch
out
for
that,
starting
on
May,
the
28th
for
twenty
nine
for
one
week.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Everyone
meeting
adjourned.
