[0:02] Bonsoir et bienvenue à cette séance ordinaire du Conseil municipal du lundi 26 janvier

[0:08] 2026. Welcome to the regular meeting of the Municipal Council. Monday January Twenty

[0:14] twenty twenty six. On va débuter avec l'adoption de l'ordre du jour, l'adoption de

[0:22] l'ordre du jour de la séance ordinaire du Conseil de la ville de Beaconsfield du 26

[0:27] janvier 20 26. Je propose qu'on en faveur. D'adopter. Et avant de passer à la période de

[0:39] questions du public, j'inviterais le commandant du Pdq, un M. Le commandant

[0:45] Gosselin, à venir prendre la parole, s'il vous plaît. Bonsoir. Bonsoir. Je suis un

[0:59] petit peu plus grand. Bonsoir à tous. Je vais profiter du mois de janvier pour vous faire un

[1:08] petit bilan de ce qui a été fait en 2025 au PLQ, et plus spécifiquement pour

[1:14] Beaconsfield. En fait, au niveau de la criminalité, je vous en ai parlé à plusieurs

[1:20] reprises, on a eu une recrudescence des introductions par effraction sur le

[1:23] territoire du Pdq un. En fait, à Beaconsfield, on a eu une légère baisse par rapport aux

[1:29] années précédentes. Quand je dis légère, c'est très légère. On a eu 17 résidences qui ont

[1:34] eu des introductions par effraction, alors que les années précédentes, on roulait

[1:38] plus aux alentours d'une vingtaine par année. Également au niveau des commerces, on a

[1:43] eu cinq commerces qui ont eu des introductions par effraction. Pour les vols de

[1:48] véhicules. On a une diminution marquée des vols de véhicules. On a eu une baisse pour

[1:54] l'ensemble du Pdq un de 45 % de moins de véhicules volés, ce qui représente pour

[2:00] Beaconsfield. On a eu en 2025 une vingtaine de véhicules volés. Et alors que les années

[2:05] précédentes, on était plus aux alentours d'une quarantaine. Donc on a vraiment une baisse

[2:09] marquée pour ce qui est du bilan de la sécurité routière au niveau des collisions.

[2:14] Encore une fois, on a eu une très bonne année, c'est à dire une baisse. On a environ une

[2:21] baisse de 30 % dans les trois dernières années. Au niveau des accidents sur le territoire du

[2:26] Pdq un, entre autres Beaconsfield, Beaconsfield. En fait, en 2025, on a eu 51

[2:33] accidents alors que les années précédentes, on était beaucoup plus aux alentours de 70 à 75

[2:38] accidents par année. Donc c'est un une un très bon résultat. Et de ces accidents là, la

[2:47] majorité sont des accidents de nature matérielle. Au dessus de près de 70 % des accidents sont

[2:54] matériels. Évidemment, on a eu des incidents, des accidents mortels. On a eu entre autres,

[3:02] là, au coin de l'autoroute 20 Saint-Charles, qui est notre notre intersection, notre zone

[3:09] accidentogène la plus marquée, où un. Je regardais les événements dans les trois

[3:16] dernières années, là, pour juste cette intersection là, on se situe à peu près entre

[3:20] quinze et 20 accidents par année. Alors, si on calcule qu'on a eu 52 accidents à

[3:27] Beaconsfield en 2025, sur les 21 sur les 51, il y a 20 à l'intersection de l'autoroute

[3:33] 20 et Saint-Charles. Également, on a fait des activités de communautaire de prévention à

[3:44] Beaconsfield avec mes agents Sociocommunautaires, également avec mes agents à vélo. J'ai

[3:48] des patrouilleurs à vélo à l'année. Durant l'année hivernale sont avec des fatbike.

[3:56] Donc ce qu'on a pu faire, comme plusieurs activités, des présentations dans des

[4:00] différentes écoles du quartier. Ils ont fait quatorze journées de. Mes agents communautaires,

[4:04] ont fait quatorze journées de présentations dans les écoles de Beaconsfield et on a eu des

[4:10] journées, par exemple des journées de rapprochement avec les scouts de Beaconsfield. On

[4:13] a eu le grand Mcdon qui a fait avec un policier. Je parlais de mes patrouilleurs à vélo, mais

[4:20] juste dans le quartier de Beaconsfield, ont patrouillé, ont fait 515 kilomètres à vélo.

[4:27] Pour ce qui est de mes agents de circulation routière, ils ont fait au dessus de 80

[4:32] opérations, soit de vitesse ou tout autre opération de sécurité routière. Et de ces

[4:40] opérations là principalement sur. Évidemment sur le boulevard Saint-Charles, sur

[4:44] elle et sur Beaurepaire. Si vous avez des questions, je suis ouvert à les répondre. Est

[4:51] ce que certains d'entre vous ont des questions pour le commandant? Do you have

[4:55] questions for the commandant? Was all the the accident and you know especially around?

[5:06] C'est chose. I'm wandering like what has been done to improve accessibility like for example,

[5:12] you know what to have bip signal for people who are who are blind or to have you not

[5:18] have tactile for people who you know at the crosswalk and to also people like myself who

[5:26] have some cognitive challenges what would with the car and Century challenges and with the

[5:31] car moving without fast and also the work signals. They don't come on right away and

[5:38] they are often really like. They are not that so if a person moved slower. You know

[5:44] they don't even have time to cross. So what has been done to improve accessibility in the

[5:50] area to reduce any kind of accidents. C'est vraiment plus de votre ressort ce type de

[6:01] réponse là, C'est sur les aménagements, c'est pas de mon domaine. So Miss Colorado,

[6:08] recently what we've done with the installation that we currently have is to add time

[6:14] to the pedestrian crossing. Make sure that the signal functions as they should with

[6:23] the timers providing enough time for pedestrian to cross the road, we have a number of

[6:32] resolution being proposed for adoption later tonight one of them speaks of reconfiguring

[6:40] the actual intersection of the highway and saint Charles and it's gonna be a long terme

[6:48] program that will be required. D'autres questions and other questions for the commandant

[6:56] Counselor Mercury. Bonsoir. Bonsoir. Merci pour les d'être avec nous. Puis merci pour les

[7:03] statistiques de 2025. Pour 2026, Votre focus de votre équipe. Pouvez vous nous partager un

[7:25] les préoccupations de Beaconsfield. Et on va avec mon équipe de gestion. On va faire

[7:30] notre plan d'action pour 2026. Cette semaine, je ne vous cacherai pas qu'il y a

[7:37] certaines choses qu'on sait, qu'on veut travailler les, entre autres les introductions

[7:42] par effraction, infraction. On sait qu'à toutes les années ça revient. On veut s'attaquer à

[7:46] ça au niveau de la sécurité routière. Évidemment, pour nous, on sait que le boulevard

[7:51] Saint-Charles, entre autres, et notre boulevard accidentogène. Donc, c'est sûr que la majorité

[7:57] de nos opérations se feront sur ce. Cette, cette rue là, ce boulevard là. Mais on va

[8:07] vraiment aller plus en détail avec mon équipe jeudi, puis j'aurai la chance de vous en

[8:13] discuter un peu plus à ce moment là par la suite. Conseillère Gosselin Oui.

[8:39] avoir. Puis on vous tiendra au courant des dates précises. Merci. Puis je vous invite, si

[8:44] jamais vous avez des. Évidemment, pour vous, vous avez des préoccupations que

[9:08] lieutenante ou moi qui lit les courriels. Et on peut prendre action en ce moment là avant de

[9:13] vous libérer. Commandant, j'ai une question. Nous avons à l'ordre du jour, au point 60.2.

[9:20] Si ça devait être adopté, de faire une demande au SPVM pour l'ajout d'un photo radar feu

[9:28] rouge à l'intersection de l'autoroute et du boulevard Saint-Charles. Nous pourrons

[9:32] compter sur votre votre appui et votre collaboration. Oui, j'ai déjà eu des discussions.

[9:37] Malheureusement, c'est pas le SPVM qui va octroyer les photoradars, c'est le ministère.

[9:42] Mais si on peut travailler avec vous, ça va nous faire plaisir de trouver, faire l'analyse

[9:47] avec vous, de vous supporter dans ça sans problème. Merci, ça fait plaisir. Merci. Bonne

[9:54] soirée. Merci. Est ce que certains conseillers aimeraient faire des annonces? Conseillère

[10:07] Godin Oui ben une petite annonce. Le Comité de culture et loisirs est présentement à

[10:13] la recherche d'un nouveau membre, alors si vous êtes intéressé de vous joindre à

[10:20] nous. On se rend compte aux deux mois et on on on crée des recommandations pour le conseil

[10:29] autour des services de de culture et loisirs. On est plutôt à la recherche d'une

[10:36] personne plus aîné qui est actif sur le territoire. Alors si ça vous intéresse, vous

[10:44] pouvez m'écrire. Toutes les détails vont être dans le contact. Qui qui va suivre

[10:50] bientôt? C'est ça? Merci. Conseiller. Nous Oui. Merci. And I know where in the dead of

[10:57] winter here, but we were talking about traffic. I'm going to go in directly and I

[11:01] just wanted to get a head start just to mention that we can't you have a traffic committee as

[11:06] well for those that don't know about it. And it's the actually it's called proceeded by myself

[11:12] and the council. Rossi is well, so we're both sharing the leading of the committee of the

[11:20] committee. On demande finalement Comité consultatif de circulation en français.

[11:24] C'est a pour mandat d'assurer la sécurité des citoyens sur le réseau routier, peu importe le

[11:30] moyen de transport, de respecter le règlement proposé par le ministre des Transports

[11:35] du Québec et intégrant les politiques de modération, de circulation standardisé, trafic,

[11:42] coming measures in English est utilisé à travers l'Amérique du Nord et en adaptant les modèles

[11:48] de pratique de transport. Basically using best practices wherever possible to improve

[11:53] traffic flow the traffic advisory committee, generally we meet in the spring starting

[11:59] in march right up to november either monthly or every other month really depending on the

[12:04] the agenda and there we take topics from residences sometimes information flows

[12:10] down from the prevention of government or other governments that we need to look at and

[12:15] implementing Beaconsfield. But importantly two the committee has a dedicated email some of

[12:21] you may know this but for those who don't perhaps listening in which is ccc at Beaconsfield,

[12:28] Dorka so all residents who have a concern fort traffic of any things of that nature. There is

[12:33] a dedicated email and you can just right that in it goes directly to the person looking

[12:38] after that and it helps to build the agenda for when we have our meetings council. Ross

[12:44] I think we're also there for residence on the committee. You may have seen back in november

[12:49] when we here are looking for its two members to join the committee to have moved from

[12:55] the mandate. The date. Vous avez mise à jour. Thank you so first and I would like to thank

[13:01] everybody that submitted there. WE had actually twelve applicants for two vacances

[13:06] spots, which was excellent and over the course of a number of weeks. WE conducted chance to.

[13:11] I don't want to say interview, but at the chance to meet everybody. So fortunately there

[13:17] were a twelve applicants and everybody was excellent. Unfortunately, we can only

[13:22] select two so over the next little while both council of myself. We'll select the next

[13:27] two candidates and we'll be advising everybody, but thank you again for the. Thank you

[13:34] Counselor Mercury. Thank you very much. The project, that's at the in Beacon Hill. What we

[13:43] call the Adams construction project I am. I know it's not necessarily Adam as anymore.

[13:49] But not parlant Adama right. Residents will probably recall that last year the project came

[13:56] back to counseling and was approved and there was a lot of excitement. There is a lot of

[14:03] excitement for the project to move forward now between the approval of the project to when

[14:09] the the developer the promoter comes and physically request their permits and has to pay

[14:15] for the permit and in this case also give a sizeable deposit. There are some residency. Are

[14:21] they actually going to come in request for it and move forward. So we were informed earlier

[14:27] this evening that they did so that's great news where there are to start with the first,

[14:35] the first part that kind of up write the pills that you see there. That's the structure

[14:41] that is there. That's the first part that there are starting with. How it works as they

[14:47] receive their purement and they have three months to start the project, otherwise they lose

[14:52] their promis fee. So the clock is thinking. WE are excited, it's of interest to all of

[15:00] beaconsfield speaking on behalf of the residence that leave across the street. Besides that

[15:05] locations. WE want to see this get down. So there you go little update to everybody

[15:12] fingers crossed. Hopefully, we see some trucs move in and get the project going. Thank you

[15:19] here. Welcome. OK, alors avant d'ouvrir. We'll get to the question period in the moment.

[15:30] So, avant d'ouvrir la période de questions justement, je souhaite prendre quelques

[15:35] minutes pour aborder très brièvement quatre sujets importants pour notre

[15:40] communauté. The first to review the main points of the annual budget that was adopted last

[15:47] week. I will then speak to you about our intentions to launch the city first dynamics

[15:55] strategic planning processes. The upcoming changes tout public transit with the opening

[16:02] of the en slalom branch will also be addressed as well as the forthcoming public

[16:09] engagement process aimed at reviewing our urban bylaw or bylaws. Comme je l'ai mentionné

[16:16] la semaine dernière, nous avons été responsables en préparant et en adoptant le tout premier

[16:22] budget de ce nouveau conseil pour l'année 2026. C'est un. C'est un budget qui reflète

[16:28] notre engagement à gérer la ville avec vigueur, rigueur, lucidité et proactivité. Dans

[16:35] un contexte particulièrement exigeant où plusieurs de nos bâtiments et de nos

[16:42] infrastructures arrivent en fin de vie utile et nécessitent des investissements importants.

[16:49] With that in mind, I remind everyone that nearly seventy per 100 of property will see

[16:54] their twenty twenty six tax adjustment remained below 3.8 % and nearly two-thirds of the

[17:04] property owners will see their tax bill coming below the inflation rate of three point

[17:10] 3 %. As it was in October last year. Finally and I think it's remarkable forty five per 100

[17:18] of our residence will see a decrease in their tax bill, which will be mailed shortly at

[17:26] the same time, we have managed to preserve financial flexibility to carry out

[17:32] essential community building projects, including the future cultural center, the important

[17:39] renovation to our recreation center and the complete redevelopment of Windermere

[17:46] Park while limiting reliance on that through grant and diversified funding. Sources.

[17:55] Nous entreprendrons cette année une planification stratégique dynamique des enjeux de la

[18:00] Ville pour les dix prochaines années. C'est important de ne pas s'attarder au présent

[18:06] seulement, mais de faire une planification à moyen et long terme pour s'assurer que nous

[18:10] sommes prêts à faire face aux défis des prochaines années, qu'ils soient financiers,

[18:15] infrastructurels, organisationnels ou liés à l'offre de services que nous

[18:19] voulons vous offrir et que vous souhaitez obtenir. Nous ferons donc également des choix en

[18:27] matière d'aménagement du territoire. Le maintien en bon état de nos bâtiments, de nos

[18:33] infrastructures, le développement de services de qualité ainsi que la poursuite

[18:37] de nos démarches pour corriger les iniquités démocratiques au sein de l'agglomération. And

[18:45] ongoing files has several of you are aware is the STM plan to undertake a comprehensive

[18:54] review of its busts network and the West Island and more specifically for our purpose

[19:02] here in Beaconsfield. This is done in anticipation of the launch of the l'anse-à-l'orme

[19:09] branch of the rem, which is scheduled to come into service within the next couple of

[19:13] months. This represents a major strategic opportunity for Beaconsfield for several years

[19:20] our city has Contributed signifie significantly to the funding of the STM through the

[19:28] agglomération without today at benefiting from proportional and substantial improvement.

[19:34] Tout public transit being offered to our population the rem will offer high frequency

[19:40] services and the STM is currently adjusting its services to ensure efficient

[19:45] and current coverage of the new station to this and I have personally communicated with

[19:51] the leadership of both the STM and the rem to ensure that these adjustments translates

[19:57] into concrete improvement and services within our territory particularly through simpler

[20:05] faster and more reliable access to the Kirkland rem station. Dès le printemps, des milliers

[20:12] de citoyennes et de citoyens pourront ainsi réduire leur dépendance à l'automobile pour

[20:17] se rendre, entre autres, au centre-ville grâce à un accès facilité à des services

[20:22] d'autobus menant à la station Kirkland du REM, qui sera située, comme vous le savez,

[20:27] tout juste au nord de notre territoire, le long de l'autoroute 40. AM I want to be

[20:36] clear these new services are being implemented by the STM on the basis of readership study

[20:42] and stricts safety standards. They have we are working in collaboration with them to

[20:48] ensure that these changes are beneficial to our overall population as a concrete

[20:55] example at my express request. Recently winter safety tests were conducted last week for

[21:02] the route using mount rose street. These tests built on those that had previously been

[21:09] carried out under summer conditions and were told by the STM that both tests confirm

[21:15] that from their safety standards requirements the bus service is for us. The bus

[21:23] service is safe, which is for us a fundamental and essential consideration at our request

[21:31] STM leadership or the team will meet tomorrow the twenty seventh with the residents of

[21:38] Mount Rose or those who are interested to present among other things. These results and

[21:44] respond to questions. Enfin, et c'est important, nous entreprendrons également cette

[21:50] année une démarche citoyenne qui portera sur l'aménagement du territoire et de l'urbanisme

[21:56] de notre ville. Cette consultation sera un outil important afin de définir

[22:03] pardon, afin de définir à court, moyen et long terme les règles d'aménagement de notre

[22:09] territoire afin de maintenir, préserver et améliorer la qualité de vie avec une fille.

[22:15] Ce à quoi nous sommes tous évidemment très attachés. Alors, je vous remercie de votre

[22:20] attention. Nous allons maintenant passer à la période de questions. WE can now start

[22:25] the question period. WE have thirty minutes. I would invite those who want to ask your

[22:31] questions to come to the Mike and identify themselves and the streets they live on and a new

[22:40] thing written questions will be addressed at the end. If we have some time, so it is. Nine

[22:49] fifty two. I rosemary a Montreal street. Good evening. You mentioned that you did

[22:58] safety study, which is excellent. Now as you know we are a small group of people in

[23:04] Montreal that have been active on this particular dossier since the summer since the

[23:10] summer, we have been asking through various means through the city of Beaconsfield. The

[23:17] STM, the echo and the agglo that we would like to see the study, the safety study that

[23:25] were done or the safety criteria that was used in every single case, we have been

[23:33] denied. WE are wanting to know if this is so safe. Why are we continuously denied access to

[23:44] that information? Just want to make one thing clear. WE do not conduct safety study. The STM,

[23:55] the STM has and I believe that if you attended tomorrow's meeting the answer to your

[24:01] question will be provided. I wants m. West Croft and the lords of chit chat about

[24:13] vehicles and roads. Mis concern is the two big concrete squares cubes that are on outside. What

[24:26] was the Gary Taylor Center and the JFK school. It's going to cause un accident. They are so

[24:34] big that if traffic is going both ways that is very little room. And if the bus is going

[24:43] to go along it just won't be able to happen. So I'm just wondering if the traffic

[24:51] committee could have a look at that and take those things away. Well, thank you. I have several

[25:06] concerns regarding beaconsfield one of the proposed by law and sanitation occupancy and

[25:14] maintenance of buildings. My man concern is regarding the management of wildlife unfairly.

[25:24] Referred to as peste or vermin to turn. I don't agree with there. There's no legal

[25:32] definition of or peste, just two point three of the owners occupants when the subject of

[25:41] pest control the required to have the responsible officer exterminateurs exterminateurs

[25:47] access to the promotion of the most necessary clean and prepared for the intervention

[25:53] when the two concerns one is that many of the many of the methods used for management of

[26:02] rodents is quite cruel things like glue traps poisons are horrible and they are there

[26:09] illégal to use outside the other thing is that exterminator are not its not

[26:15] legally defined what they are and it's not you know. If you know the thing is. You know. It

[26:23] doesn't it doesn't give it. It doesn't give you what pest control measures are and many

[26:30] many what they would like to be outside of building. It is here it. There's no legal definition

[26:37] of and I think that the beat it should remain legal inside because if it goes up it goes

[26:46] right up the food chain it, but yes, I will get it my point. There's no legal definition of

[26:53] Vermont and it seems like the definition of wildlife at seize. Sanitary is the definition of

[27:00] the environment to meet hiding requirements applicable. Please consider what is not presented

[27:05] in our indicators accumulation of the presence of modern sectors. Unwanted animal. Yes!

[27:14] Yes, I have a question. I do have a question. It is for point two points one and

[27:20] factors the presence of dead, then the thing is its name. It is the presence of vermin.

[27:27] Comme rodents, comme insectes visible Mold. What is the legal definition of vermin? That's

[27:34] not not insects. Does that mean small fauna like like raccoon and square and old school of

[27:41] road, not schools, but there's no legal definition of vermin and under the animal or under

[27:49] the village. What is what is the definition of vermin And why don't you switch to the

[27:56] terms wildlife or phone? It's a good question. This below is being tabled tonight. There

[28:04] will be a public consultation meeting next week, our next week next month rather and I

[28:10] think that between now and next month. If you come back, we will be able to answer your

[28:15] questions and as the case maybe make modifications to the bylaw. Thank you what I want. Is the

[28:21] purpose of you legally to take the world burn out. Legally Defines wildlife and wildlife

[28:31] and any non domesticated animals that included rodents and and also put in the bylaw

[28:40] that any removal of wildlife, including rodents has to be done in a way that does not

[28:48] have the animals. Who is with us tonight will make note of that we will we will get back

[29:01] to you next month. I look like that. Was so I'm going up and questions over the last six

[29:21] months. I've asked questions Requesting access to information. Specification.

[29:31] Deadlines suggestions committee I've been shut down and every single one you say that the STM

[29:37] will answer all those questions tomorrow and I know that there is gonna be an expectation on

[29:42] our part that there will bring it a lot of data that wasn't already available, but there's

[29:47] a lot of data that is available to the citizens that has not been shared with them. There,

[29:53] but there are. Readership details of prediction of all kinds of information that we

[30:02] have not shared with the public I know them. But I don't think it's my job to go around the

[30:08] city. Telling you Do you know that there is the bus coming in here. Do you know the frequency?

[30:13] Do you know the rate? Do you know anything about it? The average person doesn't know

[30:17] about it doesn't care because not on the road, but when you talk about safety it matters to

[30:24] us and it's been very frustrating that we have not been able to share anything

[30:28] even the things with the city. Why is there? No information, even information that was made

[30:35] available to the city of Beaconsfield. Why not not share with the citizens asked to the

[30:43] previous and to me before and the answer remains that this information is not here and

[30:50] it's not here to develop, and it's not our to disclose the what we've done and we're happy

[30:56] to have done. It is to organize the meeting back in October and another one that is gonna

[31:02] happen tomorrow. I've asked through the administration that a list of documents that have

[31:10] been made available or known to us be shared with residences as many documents as possible. So

[31:19] that what is clear to I would say a large number of us around the table become clear to you

[31:26] as well. But it's not a process that is in our hands. And it's not information that I'm at

[31:32] liberty or anyone else around the table is at liberty to share, because it is provided

[31:36] to us on the confidential basis and me with what request to have if I'm blocked by the STM

[31:44] and my city counselor and want to support me in my in my head to get access to safety

[31:51] information, so that children playing on the street in the afternoon. I'm at roads won't

[31:56] get it be a boss qualification that we're not helping is on fire frankly because we are

[32:03] doing what we can we've return to the STM. We've returned to the STM requesting specific

[32:10] documents be made available as I've mentioned to want to your colleagues from your group last

[32:18] month neighbours. WE can we can bring a horse to water. But we can't afford it to drink and I

[32:27] feel the same way. It is perfect. I can not do what you're asking me to do and to

[32:38] hold me to a standard that I can not achieved from the beginning is not is not. It's

[32:45] not fair frankly push pull and hopefully tomorrow. I think the message was understood. WE may

[32:57] we had a presentation from the STM last week and as a result they went and conducted a

[33:03] winter test Friday morning, I believe and we have made it very clear that we would like

[33:11] that information that I don't know if we're talking about the same thing, we could not, but

[33:16] this information that you say you have and that perhaps we've seen that is made available to

[33:22] the larger group tomorrow, but it's not our information. It's not our data. It's not our

[33:30] process is the kirkland in Pointe-Claire. Adopted different approach. And share

[33:40] it with you. We've got parking, we've got interventions different, it's not the bus

[33:49] route and I've returned to the CDPQ to request that we be able to collaborate with them to try

[33:57] and explore if there is a possibility to get parking at the world and that there is

[34:03] that was sent out will will here to see if they, they come back to us and say yes, let's

[34:09] talk, but they don't want to talk to us. WE can't do anything. Monopoly too much

[34:14] time. I'm just I'm just disappointed not with any body in particular, but the whole

[34:20] process of having administration team, not support a group of two hundred

[34:26] people who were found the petition to say that they don't want bus for safety concerns

[34:30] and for other reasons on the on the streets of Montreal, and we've got to know where I know

[34:36] when you're expecting from the STM, where we have got no where from support from the city. You

[34:42] may not like that would be put to it, but we've had no, we have no visibility of the

[34:49] change of the bus, the bus route, the two eleven, the two seventeen and and and the bus

[34:55] is just right around Beaconsfield empty it's a waste of time. It's a waste of money.

[35:02] WE can talk about the security. I'd love to talk about security. WE can talk about the

[35:08] opportunity. But the real purpose. Here is to answer your questions and I've done it and

[35:13] I'm sorry that you're not satisfied with the answer. But I can't give you more. Have a

[35:18] good evening. I have a question. I looked up the meeting on the about the bus on rose proposal

[35:34] tomorrow. I can't find it anywhere. Where is the music when the meeting I can't find

[35:38] it anywhere online. It just locked it up on my phone and came up with nothing. That was

[35:43] requested by the residents of mount rose and the STM is invited the group of residents

[35:49] mount rows that have requested the meeting. Where is when is it like what time and we look?

[35:56] What is it online? Is it in person? Is it here? Where is it? Council chamber tomorrow at

[36:06] what time six clock in this room here? Okay. Because I don't leave on rose, but I. I

[36:21] use the STM all the time I leave on one hundred and thirty saint Andrew, but I'm always

[36:26] using STM all the time, I saw and I rend for meilleur one of the things I was I wanted to

[36:36] put rewrite the proposed mount rose, but I want to put it and I think it could be rooted on

[36:43] it will not be on the road very well, but it's all it all and you can get at the same place

[36:50] Sherbrooke. You can get to that from all that would serve more people. Now that's it. That's

[36:56] just what if you know when it where it was. A question regarding the two eleven so in

[37:09] the October STM meeting madame Paradis mentioned the two eleven was going to change

[37:16] completely running along Beaconsfield boulevard. And then I think I was in another

[37:21] conversation as well where somebody I think on this council mentioned something

[37:24] about the two eleven. So do we have information about the two Eleven will we have information

[37:32] about the two eleven or will it be a similar thing like Montreal where we have citizens

[37:38] don't know about it until it's done well earlier. The STM is about to rule out its new

[37:46] services on our territory as it prepared for the rem. I understand that they have

[37:52] communication prepared for that and the information will be coming from the STM. Yes! OK.

[38:06] Merci. Thank you. Item Ten point one. I propose adoption of the means of the of the city

[38:30] of Beaconsfield. Regular December fifty twenty twenty five seconds. Or en faveur. Oh

[38:45] ok, so we've adapted that thank you very much everyone, I do about I don't do it just for

[38:54] the fun of it will be propose you get back to the question and so we'll go back to the

[38:59] question, sorry. Forgot about the question. OK. So so we have a first question from Charles

[39:10] Zimako I when will the bella be revised as a citizen that enjoy my life year I rely on the left

[39:18] blower to maintain my yard a bit of common sense would go a long way to ensure that this

[39:24] useful tools are not bothering any residence more than the long more or chainsaw. So

[39:30] Mister Zemo call I can't tell you when the video will be revised. WE will first and

[39:38] foremost have a conversation around the table as to what we want to do anything with the

[39:44] current bylaw and if we decided to do something how we're going to be doing it are we gonna go

[39:52] straight to be the change. Are we going to go through consultative process? So what

[39:56] this is at this time? WE don't have, we don't have a timeline for that I have a question from

[40:03] Tom Labelle on filson also about the leave blower bylaw. So it's a good thing counselor

[40:11] manual was mentioning earlier that we're in the dead of winter, but clearly some people

[40:16] minds are already in the spring or summer. Question. Russell Duncan advised me that he had

[40:23] submitted to the formal request to the city Clark on January seventh to add proposed

[40:29] amendment to the leave blower bylaw to the generate twenty six twenty twenty six council

[40:33] meeting agenda along with the draft by law and supporting documentation. The city Clark

[40:39] acknowledge receive the same day and deferred to make Saint-Jean and counselor Queen

[40:43] and Mercury for follow-up with council since they were suicide on the initial email our

[40:49] question is since this proposed by law Amendment has not been placed on the agenda for the

[40:55] general twenty-six council meeting as requested when and at which specific council

[41:00] meeting will it be considered again? Monsieur Lebel, same as for the questions asked by

[41:08] Mister Zimako. WE don't have the timeline at this point in time. Council meeting verbatim

[41:17] coming from Mr Russell Duncan on evendale questions will the city committed to publishing

[41:24] Verbatim Council meeting. Transcript. Starting with the next council meeting the city

[41:30] already makes it live video and video on demand of these in camera sessions publicly

[41:36] available and so the production of a verbatim. Transcript with seems non-problématique given

[41:42] the meetings video sessions are both public domain and already closed caption if the answer is

[41:49] no, please provide the specific costs estimates and staff our required to implement this saw

[41:55] residence can assess whether the sixpence alliance with the stated commitment to

[42:00] transparency. Mr Duncan Good evening. Well, we received your questions in this afternoon. I

[42:11] will not commit to adapt or adopt this changes to the next for the next council meeting,

[42:17] we have to have conversations and as you pointed. WE need to know what technical

[42:24] requirements are to be considered and what would be the financial costs. So I will

[42:30] ask our administration to take note of your questions and follow up with you and

[42:36] eventually we will have this discussion Amongst the council members. Thank you for your

[42:41] questions. I have a question from Sarah Greenspan on Florida, Snow and ice on secondary

[42:49] streets. Why are the secondary streets, not salted or gris light down this winter and past

[42:57] winters are secondary streets. Have a great light down, especially during freezing rain

[43:03] situation. Miss Greenspan are right white roads policy calls for secondary streets to not

[43:14] systematically by salted. It's a policy that priorise targeted use of this product on the main

[43:23] road intersection near bus stop steep streets and sharp curves. I encourage you if there are

[43:31] the issues to email our public works at travaux publics at Beaconsfield. SK or if no

[43:41] answer is provided counting your counselor, which would be counselor. Miss Corrado your

[43:54] questions that you say in the return form were also addressed verbally when you were at the

[44:01] Mike earlier and I have a question from miss Carolyn, Malcolm and many rose bicycle

[44:08] access to RAM Mount Rose Street twenty twenty six mandate items two of the capital programs

[44:16] were adopted last week our questions in January in the January, nineteen twenty twenty

[44:22] sixth budget meeting. It was said the bike that would be year around. Despite our

[44:28] winters more cost for taxpayers for snow removal and to encourage people to bike even

[44:34] in winter conditions that would be located from chemin Sainte-Marie to the corner of

[44:39] Mount rose at windermere on Mount Rose, the actual construction, including

[44:46] timelines are not yet available. There is an ex for twenty twenty seven, please explain

[44:53] what else is plans for mount rows currently bikes share the road with the cars and bus on

[45:00] this portion of mount rose, as there been consultation with citizens to justify a safe bike

[45:07] bike path. Here will be in our vegetation by cut down to make way for the bike path any

[45:15] drainage issues to consider well the city by taking over the land in front of people

[45:20] home to install the bike path. How much will this cost including the ongoing

[45:25] maintenance costs so the first part of the questions in terms of consultation. Yes, there was

[45:33] consultation by recall about two years ago and the form of a survey and we also received

[45:42] recommendations for such a bike path from the vélo-québec reports that was stable with

[45:49] council in the latter part of the last mandate. As of yet, we have not made any specific

[45:58] determination as to where the location of the path would be so it's impossible for us to

[46:05] give you specific information as to whether or not the vegetation will be cut down if

[46:11] there would be other construction and as far as what else could be plan for mount

[46:20] roses in the capital program. That's the only IDM that was tabled for the option for mount

[46:27] rose for twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven and twenty twenty eight and this concludes

[59:05] d'agglomération lors de sa séance du 17 décembre 2025 et du 12 janvier 2026. Back in

[59:13] December. It was six weeks ago. Almost two long remember but frankly. There was not a whole

[59:22] lot on the agenda of the council at the agglomération level. Most of the resolutions

[59:29] were administrative in nature nomination of different individual and committee this

[59:38] draft below for the budget that was going to be held on the twelfth of January, so Montreal

[59:49] budget was stable on the twelfth. It will be adopted later this week first at the

[59:55] Montreal Municipal Council, I believe Wednesday and then the next day Thursday at the

[1:00:03] Agglomération Council meeting the deposit of Montreal budget meant that the findings and

[1:00:11] administration commission of the city of Montreal, Undertook its work following in the

[1:00:19] choose of former mayor Bourrel, I was nominated to that committee alongside with Julie

[1:00:26] Brisbois mayor of Senneville. WE concluded our work to day with the tabling of several

[1:00:37] recommendations to the executive committee for the budget that will be adopted and

[1:00:44] there is a number of recommendations that I would like to share with you that I

[1:00:50] think are important in the context that we're trying to change the governance at the

[1:00:57] agglo level to have better representation to at least be consulted and listen to a

[1:01:06] little more better than we have in the past for sure, if we take the Floride dossier which

[1:01:15] ended up you know being completely withdrawn without any prior consultation with

[1:01:20] anyone, So I'm gonna read trois recommendations, which were adopted and will be presented

[1:01:29] to the executive committee and the Montreal Municipal Council and Agglomeration Council. R24.

[1:01:39] And this information is on the city of Montreal website. Perhaps will be able to forward

[1:01:47] the link. Reconnaître les arrondissements ainsi que les villes reconstituées comme de

[1:01:52] véritables partenaires et renforcer la qualité des communications, ainsi que le

[1:01:57] partage d'informations entre la ville Centre Montreal, les arrondissements et les villes

[1:02:05] reconstituées. Veiller à ce que les communications et les informations transmises par les

[1:02:12] services de la ville soient acheminées, sous réserve des noms. Excusez moi. That's the

[1:02:17] wrong one. Renforcer les communications avec les citoyennes et les citoyens de

[1:02:21] l'agglomération, pour que la population soit au centre des orientations et des actions et

[1:02:30] renforcer les mécanismes de consultation en amont et la concertation avec les

[1:02:35] arrondissements et les villes reconstituées. So we hope that this will eventually translate

[1:02:40] in a budget that will be prepared that will reflect a little bit of our reality here

[1:02:48] in Beaconsfield and among the other fourteen d'emerging municipality that are part of

[1:02:54] the agglo along with Montreal, and in that one of the residence in the past council

[1:03:02] meeting was asking at her mayor, the of Montreal expressing the desire to collaborate with with

[1:03:14] us the emerging municipalities where actually meeting with her as a group of mayor and mayor

[1:03:22] that can't say that not all right. The use of the d'emerging municipality where

[1:03:28] meeting with our thursday morning and we hope that it will eventually translate into

[1:03:34] concrete action. So there you go. Rapport des directeurs M. Chabot, Est ce qu'il y a

[1:03:39] quelque chose? Que je me suis permis? Oui, Monsieur le maire. Il y a les statistiques sur les

[1:03:49] permis ainsi que les statistiques sur les interventions au niveau du

[1:03:54] dispatch, le nombre d'appels, le nombre d'appels. Parfait. Merci. Pas d'affaires nouvelles.

[1:04:02] Item 95 I propose closing of the meeting.
