PRESENTATION(S) AND RECOGNITION(S)

GREENEST EMPLOYER AWARD

Mayor Nenshi, on behalf of Members of Council, recognized The City of Calgary being named as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers for 2016. This award acknowledges employers that are leading the way in environmental sustainability. Mayor Nenshi invited Acting City Manager Brad Stevens to accept the award.

Acting City Manager Brad Stevens acknowledged that as a large municipality, we have a responsibility to lead by example in our operations and in the greater community. The City has made great steps in reducing our environmental impact such as investing in new infrastructure like the LED (light emitting diode) streetlights and choosing renewable energy resources. The City could explore creative and natural solutions to protect the city’s biodiversity, expanding mixed recycling collection to all City-owned buildings and by educating City-licensed drivers on how to save fuel when they are out on the road providing service to Calgary residents. Acting City Manager Stevens accepted the award and stated that by working together, The City can continue to lead by example and build a healthy and green city for many decades to come.

Mayor Nenshi acknowledged that a healthy and green city is one of Council’s priorities and it is great to see the strides that The City is making towards that goal and to be recognized for that. Mayor Nenshi offered congratulations to all that were involved.

QUESTION PERIOD

(1)        2016 Calgary Transit Ridership Targets (Councillor Pootmans)

The 2015 Accountability report noted a decrease in transit ridership due to the economic climate and Calgary Transit was not able to reach its ridership target. Are we lowering our 2016 target or implementing tactics like freezing rates to meet our ridership target for 2016?

Mac Logan, General Manager, Transportation, confirmed that starting in 2014 October, a downward trend in ridership began. To adjust for this, a number of things were done, such as, selective pulling of buses on individual routes that do not have enough ridership and where maybe there are currently ten buses an hour it was reduced to eight buses an hour, ensuring that there were no cuttings of service or routes. He further advised the 2016 year-to-date figures indicate a 4.8% year over year decrease has occurred. There was a significant decrease in adult ridership, a slight decrease in senior ridership, and a slight increase in youth ridership and Upass program. In response to the decreased ridership, some minor reductions have been made in the numbers of bus runs per hour on select routes, but General Manager Logan emphasized that Transit has not reduced either the number of bus routes or the hours of service for riders. Council has also frozen the 2016 Transit fares at 2015 levels. He concluded that Administration has lowered the ridership targets for 2016, in the order of 50,000 to 100,000 riders per month.

(2)        Crosswalks and Playground Zone Signage (Councillor Keating)

There are upwards of 15 new schools that are being built in many of Calgary’s new communities. Areas around the schools are typically at high risk for collisions, so they have pedestrian infrastructure like painted crosswalks and school zone signage.  Is it possible that painted crosswalks and signage be installed at the same time as construction commences rather than installing them just as the school opens? 

Mac Logan, General Manager, Transportation, responded that signage and crosswalks are prepared close to the opening because The City wants them to be nice and fresh. He confirmed that the 15 locations will be ready for opening day and not be left until the last minute just in case there is a weather event. General Manager Logan also noted that he has been asked in the past about why The City doesn’t put up signalized crossing in advance of the opening. The Alberta Government does not allow The City to spend any of the capital money that flows through the school boards to install any traffic control devices in and around the school. Unless the crossings by the schools have already been identified by The City as trouble spots, only the standard signage and paint will be done.

General Manager Logan advised that there is the Rapid Flashing Beacon program wherein thirty beacons are being installed this year and through the pedestrian strategy, a program can be implemented where another seventy beacons can be installed over the next couple of years.

(3)        Ending the Adopt-a-Park Program (Councillor Chu)

With the decision to end the Adopt-a-Park program, I received a few complaints from my area. The people involved in this program are proud of how beautiful and green their neighborhood is through the help of this program. If this program is coming to an end or being replaced, due to more conservative water management, how can we keep the neighbourhoods looking green and nice so that the residents continue to be proud of them?

Kurt Hanson, General Manager, Community Services responded that the Adopt-a-Park program came into effect in 1984 and was discontinued in 2015. It served a very good purpose and encouraged pride in community but there were several issues with the program, such as the possible wasteful use of water, safety, collective agreement and some centralized pieces of the services that The City provides.  So the program was replaced with two new programs.  The Green Leaders program for community volunteers provides oversight to doing projects within the community to enhance it, such as painting park benches or weeding. The second project, Water Stewards, will have volunteers focus mostly on keeping the city's many high-use playing fields watered. Both programs are trying to address some of the issues that had emerged but also respond to the community desire to continue to care and have pride in their community with a more focused, targeted and supportive approach. General Manager Hanson noted that the programs will be evaluated over the course of 2016.
