That with respect to Notice of Motion C2018-0107, the following be adopted:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that City Council directs City Administration to review walking-focused snow and ice control policies to improve the accessibility, safety, and equity of Calgary’s walking network, with particular consideration to:
2. Updating snow and ice control policies to be consistent with Council-approved direction in the Pedestrian Strategy;
3. Identification of a high-priority network, including missing links, for improved City clearing that facilitates access to transit routes, the Centre City, Major Activity Centres, Neighbourhood Activity Centres, Main Streets, and other destinations with high walking volumes;
4. Increased coordination of snow and ice control between Roads, Transit, Parks, and other relevant City departments;
5. Improved timelines for clearing sidewalks and pathways abutting City property that would bring them more in line with expectations on private property owners;
6. Identification of options to provide winter maintenance for Calgary’s 78 kilometres of engineered walkways;
7. Guidelines or rules for the clearing of wheelchair ramps, curb cuts, and sidewalk crossings of laneways;
8. Improved 311 phone, website, and mobile app reporting options;
9. Identification of winter maintenance funding for relevant City departments whenever new capital and annual network growth projects are implemented; and
10. An updated strategy to assist Calgarians who are unable to clear abutting walking infrastructure themselves.
AND FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that City Council directs City Administration to report to Council with options to improve walking-focused snow and ice control, including One Calgary budget impacts, returning through the Standing Policy Committee on Transportation and Transit by the end of Q2 2018.
