OPENING

2.	QUESTION PERIOD

(1) Incident Investigation Into Citizen Fall (Councillor Pootmans)

It was recently reported in the news that a citizen fell on an icy pathway and broke her kneecap. Can the Transportation Department please provide an update on the investigation with respect to this incident?

Mac Logan, General Manager, Transportation responded that the location of the incident was in the Westland Crescent area, on a short walkway between two residential properties, and identified the pathway as an engineered walkway. This falls into a gray area when it comes to the City’s efforts in snow clearing. He further advised that The City has over 2,000 locations described as engineered walkways and there is no regular maintenance provided on these pathways. Issues are only addressed on a complaint-basis. GM Logan confirmed that a quick scan of 3-1-1 calls regarding this particular walkway revealed a complaint received on Friday, January 20, 2017 that resulted in crews being dispatched to clear that pathway. He advised that the investigation into this incident remains ongoing, specifically regarding 3-1-1 calls that may have been received prior to 2017 January 20, and an update will be provided to Members of Council by the end of the week.

Mayor Nenshi further suggested that The City should be looking at these locations from a use perspective rather than a location or classification perspective.

(2) Managing and Prioritizing the Clearing of Windrows in Priority One Areas

(Councillor Carra)

Windrows that come from clearing the roads are creating a challenge for citizens with mobility issues, including strollers, scooters and wheelchairs, particularly at pedestrian crossings and transit stops. What is The City doing to ensure that our priority areas, transit stops and pedestrian crossings remain accessible through multiple clearing efforts and how are they prioritized across the city?

Mac Logan, General Manager, Transportation responded that Council had approved additional budget over a year ago and The City has more than 300 locations that are Priority One locations which are cleared within 24 hours. He further stated that for snow clearing efforts, with respect to windrows at Priority 3 level locations, have been moved up and The City has over 5,000 transit stops that crews go back and clear. GM Logan advised that for those locations that may be falling through the cracks, The City responds to 3-1-1 complaints. When a complaint is received, the site is reviewed, and if it is deemed to be The City’s responsibility, crews would be deployed as The City works through the seven day plan for clearing. The challenge is getting through the seven day plan without another snow event as experienced over the Christmas period this season.

INTRODUCTION

Councillor Chabot introduced a group of 18 grades four, five and six students in the LEAD program from Penbrooke Meadows School, in attendance in the public gallery, accompanied by their teacher. He advised that this week, at City Hall School, the class would be exploring the question “How can we be citizens of the world?”

(3) Clarification on Balloting Procedure Used During Appointments to Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (Councillor Chabot)

Recently, Council made appointments to the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board. I am concerned that a policy, not a necessarily a procedure, indicates that Council would not appoint anyone unless they received eight votes during the in camera nomination process. I observed that Council gave seven votes in the affirmative for these appointments in Council and questioned this alignment to the balloting procedures.

Mayor Nenshi responded that the Procedure Bylaw requires a majority vote on the floor of Council, however, In Camera Balloting is different. Mayor Nenshi expressed appreciation for Councillor Chabot’s concern for procedural fairness and confirmed that he is pursuing codification of this balloting procedure with the City Clerk who is currently working on the Procedure Bylaw update.

WHEREAS, the public hearing for the redevelopment of the Highland Park golf course (C2017-0003 and LOC2014-0190) revealed a gap between results of the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Charette and the administrative review of a specific land use application; and

WHEREAS, the competing visions of the community and the developer have not been well reconciled in the final resulting land use recommendations, which do not adequately reflect the benefits of the TOD Charette; and

WHEREAS, more specifically, the buffer has been favoured over the objectives of integrated TOD planning including the minimization of surface parking, minimization of building heights, minimization of required fill, use of slope adaptive design, and maximization of high quality public open space; and

WHEREAS, a better result may have been achieved had a planning exercise such as an area redevelopment plan had been in place or such work undertaken; and

WHEREAS, this is a part of the City that would greatly benefit from a long overdue planning review;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that Administration be directed to consider a Highland Park Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) and subsequent city-initiated land use redesignations and report back to Council with a proposed work schedule in 2017 June on the North Green Line, such ARP and land use redesignations to be completed before or concurrent with the conclusion of the Highland Village Green storm water study.
