Can I have an approval of the agenda this morning,
counselor? Temerloh. Thank you all in favor
that is carried. Do we have any declarations of
conflict of interest? ?
Seeing none. Can I have a mover of the
minutes of the previous meeting? Councilor Fonseca, Thank
you all in favor that is carried
Presentations. We do not have any of this morning
deputation Zweiri have one on item. 10.1 Mr.
Dan Anderson resident
Mr Anderson. The floor is yours.
Absolutely.
Dan Anderson. Good morning to the chair and other
council members hope there'll be some flexibility on time,
but maybe not necessary primarily as a war to resident
I'm here to address Agenda item. 10 1 10.1,
in which commissioner writers requesting your approval for the
funding of roadway modifications, particularly speed bumps for various
words. .
The agenda report, however, does not disclose the
proposed number of speed bumps for each roadway. .
But it should, in the same way that proposed
numbers are disclosed for new stop signs and raised crosswalks.
The reason is the specifics are important, for
example, the specifics and that are in agenda.
10.1 indicate that the funding request is not consistent with
the number of speed bumps. . Um
That are implied by the voting of word to residents
for two roads, Bronze, Grover and or Road.
It's unfortunate Counselor schedules. Not here, Um,
, slide number seven. .
But I sent him a copy of my comments.
So
I had a time.
The, um for Brahms Grove Road.
The voting implied.
As in this display here is road safety is compromised
Option of four speed bumps. .
And one additional stop sign.
As a related consideration. The illustrated location for these
four speed bumps is somewhat problematical and may have distorted
the voting. Three speed bumps were placed adjacent to
a vacant hydro right of way on the right and
the arrows shown suggests relocating one of those to the
middle section flanked by homes. .
And that should be done in the context of a
compromise solution. .
The only forced choice option otherwise for residents
Who wanted at least one speed bump in that section,
where a lot of the homes are was that
they were essentially told If you want one, you
have to vote for 10 instead of four, so
some would have that would have distorted the voting slide
number eight for or road. The voting implied the
bottom section. .
Of the slide, which shows a compromise option of
three speed bumps. .
And two additional stop signs.
As can be seen here. There is a fully
fenced industrial section, and the picture at the top
makes that more clear, fully fenced industrial section all
along the southern side of the road, so no
pedestrians cross that road. .
And related to this. In a separate 2022 survey
provided to interim councilor Pat Mullen. .
80% of all the residents on or a road identified
that they wanted only
To speed bumps and two additional stop signs.
But the only compromise option provided was three speed Watch,
, which which isn't materially different. .
The top section isn't directly relevant today but shows that
prior request last year to obtain funding for 12 speed
bumps and asserting that there was 63% support. .
But that was because the residents weren't informed about what
was being proposed predominantly enough to give that kind of
a result, and there was a similar nondisclosure for
Bronze Grove Road. .
That was partially offset because prior to the end of
the voting period, , they discovered did not
Non disclosure at least hundreds of people did enough to
change what happened. .
Now there's two summary video links on slide number two,
and they provide further background on what then led
to a re vote because of these problems. .
For the residents for Brahms girlfriend in Park Royal in
general, but these ones were the most materially affected.
.
Now slide number five.
This one helps to clarify the understanding about why the
compromise options. .
I know that the level of support for the compromise
options of four speed bombs since three speed bumps now
whether it's for a maximum number of speed bumps.
That's what you want, or if you don't want
any or anything in between, when none of the
options that are available gets more than 50%. .
Then the individuals at the extreme.
Would reasonably be assumed to take a default to the
next closest option. .
If you do that, In the case of Bronze
Grove, you had end up with 100% of the
people who voted supporting the compromise option, not 5100%.
.
Um with regards to or road there's to compromise options.
62% would take the one with three speed bumps.
The question is how that compares with what's in
the agenda. 10.1 information provided to you instead of
four speed bumps for Brahms Grove. It's saying 10
speedboats. .
And it's saying there's 56% support.
Which makes no sense, and I'll explain how that
happened. .
Because the support is actually
26% and even that is overstated for our road.
The agenda. 10.1 says that
Support for six speed bumps. Not three is 61%.
. But the facts are
That the support is no higher than 30%.
Now slide number six.
This is a little bit heavy. I hope some
people had a chance to review it. First going
left to right. The columns are the number of
speed bumps. .
The number of residents voting percentage voting for the different
options. .
And you can see 26% that voted for 10 speed
bumps. .
Not 50 some percent and 30% for six speed bumps.
.
And then the second last column is the compromise option.
And as you can see, the 100% is
if as these people at the extremes moved to a
compromise position
And then the sixth one. We probably don't need
to get into it. So what happens if you
simply ignore people that don't want speed bumps? ?
Now, as noted the percentage support used to justify
10.1. .
Relies upon this issue of as you can see the
start of the 56% in the 61% of the total
in the second quarter and the second box column. .
All that represents is the number of people that said
yes to traffic coming. However, they define traffic
calming. .
But
But they certainly didn't support what commissioner right is proposing.
And that raises a fundamental question. That is.
There is a mandate that's been expressed by his
operations demonstrated by his operations and demonstrated by the funding
request, , And it's this
If residents support traffic, calming.
Then it is not their business. How many speed
bumps we install? I believe they're actually operating without
understanding. The question is whether or not collectively Council
has given them that as a mandate because it completely
contradicts the notion that residents are voting for things. .
Assuming that's not the mandate and the agenda. 10.1
funding request should be modified. .
For those roads and instead reflect the compromise options implied
by the voting of residents. Now, all kinds
All councilors want to have a good working relationship with
commissioner right. .
And at the same time they want to demonstrate respect
for the views of residents. So for purposes of
agenda 10.1 to avoid unnecessarily created an awkward situation for
our new war to councilor of intellectual and for other
councilors as they prepare to ask questions and decide how
to vote on agenda 10.1. .
It would be helpful procedurally. If the chair Councilor
Mahoney might give commissioner right the opportunity to first identify
the council members whether he was receptive to modifying his
proposal for those two proposal for those two roadways. .
In order in order to be consistent with the voting
results. Commissioner right could identify the council members the
approximate financial effect of such modifications. I expect it's
not very material, , and it's less of anything. .
Then all the council members would have the opportunity of
being able to simultaneously support commissioner rights request for funding
and also respect the vote by war to residents now
have modified my intended addendum comments to instead address a
specific example with regards to slide nine. .
Slide nine is referencing other wards. I'm going to
give you an example. And I'm not positive on
the details of this at all. But in Ward
three, for example, and that came to mind
partly because Queen Frederica Street when I looked at what
was in the 10.1 agenda, had a very I
think was 51% or 53%, , something like that. .
So I took that as an example and try to
find information, though it's been deleted from the website.
.
And, um, you may find that there's hundreds
of residents are angry about what ends up happening because
they don't know what's going to happen similar to what
happened in the war to prior to interim councilor Pat
Mullen, , arranging for a revote. .
The information may not have been disclosed to Ward three
residents about what was going on. In the case
of Golden Archerd, for example, there's no options.
.
Provided that suggests that the letter they received did not
disclose the number of proposed speed bonds and the Web
page link that was provided to them also does not
disclose it. . The commentary. . The links
The only place that appears in a tab. No
reference is made to the tab. So that's what
happened in war. Two presidents didn't have a clue
what was happening. If you go down the Web
page route, it's suggesting there's a survey and it's
suggesting that there is going to be a
Community meeting, and that's not what happened.
So it seems unreasonable for an uninformed group of people
to be making a decision may continue for a bit.
I would encourage you to wrap up. It
has been a full force. Um, presentation in
a full 10 minutes. Sounds good, and I
don't know of similar concerns apply elsewhere to other awards,
But you know, the other things I was
going to mention, are things that should be done.
.
I think there should be explicit provisions for disclosure in
the surveys in the funding requests in what's on the
website, all kinds of things, and once voting
has taken place. Residents should be able to access
online versions right now. It's deleted for not for
the award to stuff
Because cancer Ted, I don't think has come to
a settled agreement with the commissioner. .
But I think for others have been deleted. And
I think that's because of a policy that an agreement
between the counselors. Anderson, can you please wrap
up, sir? And this is my final point.
Other than returning to what I originally asked about
war, , too. .
I think counselors Karen Ross and others had an agreement.
.
For council purposes that councilors could not would not oppose
whatever they wanted to do with gas tax funds. .
At a council meeting regardless of what residents say and
I think that's fundamentally wrong for council. Thank you.
.
Thank you, sir. I will go to the
board Councilor Maria
I just was curious about one question. Can we
just go back to Brahms Grove Road? Your slide
on Brahms. . Grover Brahms Grove. . Sure. .
Ah, probably true. You just passed it.
Yes, , I'm sorry. .
Sorry. What was the question? No, not
this one, the next one, the next one
or wrote
Where you had the numbers of people. Oh,
sure, sure. There. These are all I
wanna do. Clarify was when you come to 56%.
There's no double counting right? So we don't
have
In the 26% people who are
Because people who want 10 presumably also good with four,
so all I wanted to make sure was there
is no double count. I just agree with that.
I'm just asking staff, though. Is there
any double counting or there is no double counting. .
Three chairman Tony the counselor, Djamila So as an
example, counselor in terms of Bronze Cove. The
way the survey was set up is that it initially
opens up with a broad question. Do you support
traffic coming in your neighborhood? And it's almost like
a yes no kind of response. And as an
example in that 1 56% of the respondents said,
Yes, , we support traffic, , calming. .
So then that that group of people then goes on
to the next phase of the survey, which then
presents a few options for them to vote on. .
And then what staff do is compiled the results of
that vote, and in the in the example of
bonds Grove, it was option one that received the
most support from the people that supported traffic coming. .
And then we take that information. And then we
work with the ward councilor to lay that out and
then to come up with a plan for traffic coming
for that neighborhood, So that's really in general how
that process worked. So just so I understand because
I did a similar one on Paisley. But I
think we did a little bit differently. As I
just want to understand our 56% of the people who
live on that street wants some kind of speed bumps,
not traffic coming, but speed bumps. Would
that be correct? ?
So out of the amount of responding So an example
on bonds. Grove 205 households completed the survey.
So that's not saying everyone completed the survey. And
of those respondents, 56% said, yes to traffic
calming. .
But what percentage of the streets said Yes to traffic
coming. We typically don't measure the overall we only
go with the response rate. So the people that
so people that don't respond at all Don't get counted
into the response. So it's either so that we
get the responses back. So we surveyed the whole
street. Right this case. We got 205 households
and out of that response. We then take that
percentage. Fair enough. 56% of the 206 wanted
speed bumps, not traffic coming. That's what I'm
trying to understand. .
So that it was because what we're proposing is not
just speed bumps. There is a mix of stop
signs raised raised. .
Pedestrian crossings and speed traffic calming. So the question
was broad. Is it do you support traffic coming
on your street? And then if the answer was
Yes, then the detail goes in and sort of
the next part of the survey, which was option
one or option two. And then we looked at
the response from that part of the survey to come
back to the council and present that information and work
towards a plan. . So it is possible that
Of the 206. Not a majority want speed bumps,
but they're okay with other parts of speed traffic
coming right, But we haven't drilled down to because
speed bumps tend to be very divisive. And it's
of course, up to individual ward councilors. What
I know Councilor Mahoney had one where 100% of the
street wanted the speed bumps until they didn't want them.
So and I have had the same issue on
Paisley where you do surveys and then people wake up
later. So it is something I mean, it's
an interesting point. .
And at what point do you say?
It's warranted technically. So it's a safety issue versus
do people wanted on their streets. . So I
I'm still not clear, though. Looks like we
don't have a number for speed bumps. We have
a number for traffic, calming and a buffet or
menu of items that people are saying yes, but
the most contentious ones tend to be speed bumps.
So maybe going forward. We need to look at
that. Thank you. Thank you, Councilor Councilor
Fonseca. .
Thank you, Hugh chair, no questions to the
delegate or two staff, but since War three was
named, I just want to make it very clear.
. Um, , that
In all the instances in Ward three where there has
been a request from residents in the community for traffic,
, calming, , Um, , I have
Went through a process with the residents in the community.
.
And with staff.
To have a very, very fulsome understanding. Uh
and, , um
Study of the the roadway where the residents in that
neighborhood
Have inquired about traffic coming calming, including speed bumps,
and that has included not only the initial,
um communication out to the community, which goes through
through, , um, , staff
Ah, along with multiple multiple community meetings, Um,
virtual in person down to the point where I
have, , actually, , uh
Divided the sections of the road into three or four
parts. . Uh and had, , um
In some cases along about beaches as an example,
that roadway is almost three kilometers long. I put
out I think over 9000 letters I had, , uh
Perhaps 10 community meetings. Uh and then I also
engaged the Rockwood Homeowners Association. . Ah, ,
In particular to that neighborhood and in further further study
of the roadway, So just to be clear because
you said in your remarks that the community was not
engaged in more three, sure making, making it
clear that in all because you reference Ward three. .
I just wanted to make it clear that in all
the cases ah in, uh in Ward three,
where the request has come from the community for some
form of traffic coming to be put on the roadway,
, I have ensured and exhausted. .
Pretty much all avenues with regards to communicating, uh,
to the community about the traffic coming and at
the end of the day
We have to make a decision at some point as
to whether or not um
The technical experts and the proposal that is being put
in place is going to be right for that roadway.
. But I did want to clarify. . Ah
Factually that I have had many meetings. And if
you would like the details of that you can contact
my office. Thank you very much, Mr.
Anderson. This isn't a debate. I think you've
been given your 10 minutes. I'd like to just
go through the council so they can do that.
And I think you understand, clarify One part give
you 10 minutes to to to do it, And
this is an opportunity for council. We're not going
back and forth debate. We're trying to address the
The issues in like councilor speak as you were given
the opportunity Counselor Parish. .
Yes. I haven't had any bad experiences like you
were. Everybody wanted them, Then nobody wanted them.
I'm just curious. Um, we used to
have temporary ones that you could throw across the road
and see if people want to change their minds.
Do we still have those? ?
Three Mr Charity Counselor Parish we had We don't use
them as much anymore. But they were when we
first started getting into the business of traffic coming now
that there are quite a few within the city,
it's easier for us to demonstrate Go to the street,
and you can see the insulation that's in place.
So we try and get out of the amount
of labor that's involved in installation and then removing it
later on. We tend not to use the temporary
ones as much, but it is. It is
an available option. I just wanted to know that.
. Thank you. .
Thank you, Councilor just for clarification. I did
have one that had 100% in them when they were
put in something like them. It's the unintended consequences
As we deal with and quite a regular basis.
Councilor Hong Thank you through the chair, and I
want to thank the resident for coming in today and
sharing his concerns. We've spoken a number of times
about this did want to apologize for being late.
We were at the International Women's Day event, and
I was
Speaking with the number of residents, students from Clark's
in high school and Lauren Park High School who are
very engaged and amazing young women who want to be
involved in our city, and actually, we're talking
about some of the challenges of of speeding and safety
issues along Brahms Grove and Lauren Park Road, which
we have a number of measures there. .
Um, I do acknowledge that I think it is
something that has come up quite a bit in the
in the in the ward. I know. Previous
counselors have emphasized this and I think it's appropriate.
It's our Vision zero mission to prevent these incidents from
happening in our communities. .
And we know for the most part. It is
our own residents and neighbors who are who are facing
these problems, and there are the ones who are
likely also facing the consequences for speeding. .
We will be debating this later. And so I'm
happy to engage further on traffic coming in general,
when we're when we get to the to the item
on the agenda. I do want to acknowledge that
it is just where the chair said it is not
just not really a back and forth debate here,
but, um, that you do have a legitimate
point. . In acknowledging that there are residents who are
Um, not in favor that we should consider as
part of the mathematics around, Um, numbers and
the types of traffic coming that we do employ,
but I think we've learned a lot and I think
the department has done a good job of receiving that
feedback and calculating what would be appropriate. .
Measures moving forward. Not every calming measure is a
speed bump. Not every solution is a bollard and
you know there are road diets. There's so many
tools that we have in our toolbox that I know
the city staff are eerily exploring, and I look
forward to, uh to them continuing to do that,
, in this instance in our area. .
Um, chair I'm happy to move my residence deputation.
.
Thank you, Councilor Ted Joe and very well said,
and I think we all do agree. It's
not a perfect science or an easy solution. We
do try to communicate as best as we possibly can.
With residents to gauge supporter or non support.
I will just speak as I do have one on
this 10.1 as well in Ward eight that I have
engaged with the residents and another one that I got
100% support from from the residents and have had some
public meetings and consultations so
I certainly appreciate you coming forward, Mr Anderson and
welcome to stick around when 10.1 comes forward and listen
to the debate, So the deputy and his moved
by councilor to go all in favor. .
That is carried. Thank you.
Moving on to public question. Period. Madam clerk.
. Do we have a
On the same subject matter. We have Athena Tag
ado from more three Athena's online. Okay, thank
you. I will read the blurb here for public
question. Period pursuant to section 58 of the Council
procedure by law. 0044-20 to two as amended General
Committee may grant permission to remember of the public to
ask a question of General Committee with the following provisions
one. .
Questions may be submitted to the clerk at least 24
hours prior to the meeting. .
To a person is limited to two questions and much
must pertain specific items on the current agenda, and
the speaker will state which item the question is related
to
Three. The total speaking time shall be five minutes
maximum per speaker unless extended by the mayor or the
chair and for any response, not provided at the
meeting will be provided in the format of a written
I ran out of room here.
12. I think you get the gist. My
page cut off. So response. Thank you.
I don't have response in my by the Chanda. .
Um, is the resident online?
Okay? Yes, I am. Good morning.
Good morning. .
Yes, Before I begin, I would like to
clarify counter Fonseca's comments with respect to Ward three.
She did respectfully count to everyone. It counts with
reference to the Rockwood area and two about beaches.
And today I
I will be addressing the Applewood Heights area of war,
three of which the three streets are noted in
today's traffic Common report, So the sees that the
questions please survey results of respondents for Constitution at 53%
and Queen Federica at 51% are very close difference between
respondents who are in favor. .
Of and who oppose this traffic comic proposal and with
the undecided respondents, the actual percentage differences even less.
.
For Constitution Boulevard from the 100 responded to this combined
survey with Queen Federica. The difference between yesterday.
No around the side is only six people for Queen
Federica from the 100 respondents again to the combined service
with constitution. The difference is only two respondents.
The question of why the online survey for these two
roadways was combined on one survey has been asked city
staff and waiting for their response. .
It is requested that because of the small differences in
respondents and which are not most of the community as
well as the fact that the city survey was combined
for both Constitution and Queen Federica during the summer months
of July and August, only better review be taken
to reconsider the traffic kami speed humps for these two
streets before any staff recommendation is made. The question
is, can the roadways of Queer Constitution Boulevard and
Queen Federica not included in today's recommendation for approval? ?
All due to the very close results and the results
for additional consideration by city staff for community feedback be
made. .
Question number two for the Golden Orchard traffic calming proposal
from floor Street to Dixie. The total responders were
27 from this 18 in favor and nine opposing the
speed up placement for this area. There were issues
of delays in postal delivery this past year, and
there are residents who have both on and off quote
an orchard who would be impacted and who did not
know about this plan nor able to successfully complete the
online survey. . These may be the reason
As as to the low responsible. Only 27 completed
surveys from that community for this proposal. .
And the question is considering the above local issues.
Can the Golden Orchard proposal from floor to Dixie not
be included in today's recommendation? And because we considered
what request for feedback from this community, both in
paper and all my surveys be made available to residents
who live on and off court an orchard before any
decisions are recommended on how to proceed. And please
just add after hearing the deputation by resident Don Anderson
on traffic, , calming for all road
It appears that similar concerns are shared by residents and
other wards were results, as provided in today's traffic
Common report show 60 about 61%, or less higher
standard of approval is needed for proposed roadways to be
recommended, as are for other roadways presented in today's
report of 80% or higher the same measure, or
at least approval from a minimum of 75% of respondents
is requested to be used for all
Traffic calming world with recommendations that are being considered as
well. More direct information to the community is needed,
as well as attention to timing and availability of
surveys and how survey questions are addressed. And simply
to add that there were no community meetings whatsoever held
for these particular three world ways in that war,
three in the applewood area. Thank you very much,
, and I look forward to the responses. .
Thank you.
Very much for your, um deputation counselor. Fonseca
to thank you through you chair. Perhaps we should
just move 10.1 forward. .
Seeing what I was. We're having discussions or no,
I'm happy to if it's the will a council
as everybody Okay with moving 10.1 forward in favor,
okay, it has moved forward and we can discuss
10.1 now. .
Okay? And I guess with regards to the questions
that Athena raised, they were to staff. So
if staff can clarify the those questions, and then
I have a couple of follow up questions. .
Three, Mr Chaired a council for Sega and ask
Colin Patterson to come forward to give more detail about
the surveys. But in general counselor the surveys as
you're aware, we're follow our traditional process. And
I think the deputy and raised questions in terms of
the percentage of overall support, and that's something that
outlined in the report today is we are recommending traffic,
, calming. .
To a counselor to Joe's point, really around the
notion of vision zero and road safety, So that's
our primary function is that the councilor Ward Councilor is
aware and staff everywhere of concerns that have come forward
with speeding in these neighborhoods and in absence of redesigning
the whole street traffic calming is is an easy approach
for us to retrofit a street to slow vehicles down
and to provide a safer environment. So that's our
overall objective. Responding to our direction around Vision zero
and so, with our survey responses, we are
looking for support for traffic coming from the
Unity.
It was raised earlier that these are sometimes every you
know, after the traffic coming device goes in.
There is feedback that some people don't like it there.
Dr is disrupted, But that is the intention
is that people don't have the same access to the
street. They did in terms of being able to
speed or go at the speed that they desire.
So we are looking for support from the community and
we're open. .
And wish to be transparent in our process, and
hence, the report today outlines all of the streets
that were recommending traffic calming be installed on so with
that, Mr Chair. I think I'll turn it
over to college talk more specifics about the survey in
that area. .
Good morning through the chair to cancel Fonseca with respect
to why we combine multiple roadways into one survey.
The simple answer is often we want to receive feedback
from the same group of residents on the on both
projects. So in the case of Constitution and Queen
Fredricka, , the same neighborhood residents are asked. .
Both questions whether they support traffic coming on Constitution and
Queen Frederica, and that is in the case of
that survey. It was, I believe the entire
neighborhood, not just the residents that were on that
street, so there's often a much different opinion,
depending on where that response comes from the residents who
live on these roadways who are dealing with the consistent
speeding concerns and aggressive driving. .
Are often a little bit more supportive than some residents
that may live elsewhere in the neighborhood and don't have
to deal with the the, uh, driving behavior
on those roadways. With respect to the timing of
those surveys they were issued. I believe late spring
and carried on into the summer. I believe both
surveys were extended for that reason to make sure that
we accommodated any and all feedback that we could receive
from the public. . So
Even after those surveys, the date closes. We
will not discount any feedback that's received, if if,
at any point in time, residents of those
neighborhoods want to provide feedback. We will collect that
in summarize, and it would be reflected in the
numbers in the report. .
I should also clarify that all of the information related
to the quantity of devices proposed types the locations it's
always posted on the city's website for anyone who has
questions about what exactly is being proposed, and where
that might be. .
Councilor for the secret Anything further, So that was
one of my questions with regards to the posting of
the actual Ah
Proposed design.
Of of traffic calming. Ah, you answered that
and just to clarify with regards to Queen Fredricka Constitution
and this leg of Golden Orchard. .
The first step in the process is
For when, when a when a request or a
concern comes from residents is to is for staff to
go out and US speed study on the roadway and
the first recommendations are always around. Pass it passive
traffic calming, , are they not? ?
Yes or no? Are they passive? Yes.
Our digital boards also recommended yes. Is there also
often engagement or requests for police to be out to,
Um um, study or collaborate with the residents?
?
Ah ah, ah, and city staff on the
particular roadway to try to address or
Get down to what the real issues are with motors
behavior. .
Yes. And were these done? I know the
answer to this. But for the public where these
done on Queen Frederica Constitution and this leg of Golden
Orchard, Yes. Okay. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Mr Chair. Thank you.
Councilor Fonseca counseled Asco. .
Thank you through the chair, and I just wanted
to speak actually to the report itself, and I
know just in terms of the way that it came
forward. . It's one that I know that are
Our team at the city. It's talk about challenging
role that they're in. It's trying to find that
right mix of finding road safety at the same time
as allowing traffic to pass etcetera literally trying to make
everybody happy and in an imperfect world, and it's
it's a real challenge definitely know that we see a
lot of it Safety committee. .
And also each of our offices.
Bar. Nana get an awful lot of calls.
I know that you know, from from the mayor's
office all the way through all of us and coming
up with these different things, so I just would
like to speak on behalf of
The work that's gone into this. It's it's never
taken lightly. I always know that when it comes
to our team
They're always saying that Let's try every other measure before
you go and get into that because it's such a
blunt instrument that that gets prescribed, , but
You know, it's also one that was as counselors.
We tend to know our communities pretty well because
we're engaging with them all the time. And these
are things that we do here and so
You know the work that's gone into this report.
I know for the streets and Ward one. I
wanted to say a profound thank you for that. .
Um, in terms of the work that has gone
in the survey results, I think also speak for
themselves in terms of what goes in, but you
know it's again imperfect, but at the same time,
if quite frankly, if everybody was doing the
speed limit
We wouldn't be going through all this and to begin
with, but unfortunately, that's just not the case
and a few people that I think we all probably
have saying, Why would you want to do this?
And they tend to be the worst offenders because
they just don't want to have these types of measures
in place. So at the appropriate time, myself
or whoever would move it, I'm I'm happy that
this is coming forward and that we're looking to get
this done in the spring season ahead. .
I just wanted to say thanks to staff for all
your work on this. Thank you. Councilor,
disco counselor. .
Thank you through the chair.
This is we have some of us knew folks here.
We've only been here 16 weeks now. 15
weeks. . I think we're in
And we haven't had a lot of opportunity to talk
about some of these issues. I want to take
a minute to really
Reaffirm our position, at least as a council and
for a number of new folks that we do believe
in the in the Vision, zero mandate and policy
of the city. .
Um, because at the end of the day,
we're talking about the lives and well being of our
residents, and it's completely preventable based on the actions
of our city and of its residents. .
And
The question that we're asking is how much are we
willing to be inconvenienced? ?
To protect those people. Certainly there are accidents that
are at the fault of cyclists or pedestrians, and
we need better education all around. .
But a quick look at the stats from the region
of peal shows that there were 327 deaths from collisions
in the last decade. . 17 cyclists 113 pedestrians. .
And then you look at the studies around traffic,
calming and approximate pedestrian survival rate. .
And I'll tell you, my partner. She's
Mhm better than me and so many ways and works
at sick kids emergency
And she will tell you their kid that shows up
at 30 kilometers an hour is going to make it
kid that gets hit at 40. Kilometers an hour
has a 60% chance. The kid that gets hit
at 50, kilometers an hour has a 20% chance
of survival. .
And they know that they know that coming in.
They know that coming into the emergency room that this
kid got hit by a car at 50 kilometers an
hour, which is easily where most people drive in
this city in residential neighborhoods. .
Is not going to make it.
So is that so inconvenient for us to slow down
that we think that this is something that we need
to we need to look past. . So
That's where I'm coming from. I've got young kids.
They're 8, 10 and 12 and certainly they
need to be more responsible in terms of how they
cross the street. .
And how they interact in their neighborhoods. And we
are trying to make safer neighborhoods. But at the
end of the day, sometimes a government um an
agency, whatever it is needs to come in and
say We need to wear seatbelts. We need to
impose traffic coming. We need to have a red
light cameras. We need to do these things for
the safety of our community, and they're not always
popular. .
But sometimes that's what we need to do.
And we're trying to find the best ways possible to
move forward so that we get buying from residents and
buying from the community to understand that we're doing this
as part of our priorities. If this is no
longer a priority, and we don't want to do
that, then we should debate that we should talk
about how we're willing to sacrifice. You know those
lives and those accidents because it's their own fault and
that they should be more careful when they're crossing the
street. .
But the inconvenience of having to slow down is just
too much for us to bear for that, If
that's the debate that people want to have that I'm
happy to have that, But I don't think that
what the city is trying to do is in any
way inappropriate and that they have learned quite a bit
in terms of what is and is not a useful
tool, and not every tool has to be a
speed bump. There are bollards. There are road
diets, , there are protected bike lanes. .
There are so many things that I like in my
neighborhood to where we have raised crosswalks in front of
schools, and this is an ongoing discussion. This
isn't the end of the beyond. And all of
traffic coming. This is how are we going to
continue to progress to find solutions to try and make
our roads as safe as possible? ?
I think this is entirely appropriate action for us to
take and for this council to endorse for our staff
who are consulting who are learning who are working with
experts to see what we can do in order to
reduce that because we look at the stats
And you think about all these people? There's there's
There's families behind these behind these stories and
You know, I wish we had an opportunity to
mark every single time Somebody passed away because of an
accident on the road. But not just that.
We have to think about all the accidents that don't
need to road dust as well. That don't lead
to fatalities. How many times are people getting maimed
and hit and they're injured? And then they have
years of recovery or permanently disabled. Because of that,
it's not just about the death is about how
are we making a safer, more sustainable, walkable
neighborhood everywhere and the fact that we have to retrofit
our city because our city wasn't built for that? ?
Is something that we're looking at right now. And
I think that's the courage that our council is taking
in order to do that that we've taken in the
past that we should continue to pursue moving forward.
Thank you. . Chair. .
Thank you, Councilor Federal and that was very,
very well said, and I really don't have anything
to add. So I appreciate you bringing that to
everybody's attention. And that's really some of the tough
decisions and the reason that we move forward with a
lot of these initiatives. So I certainly appreciate your
comments. I do not have anybody else on the
board to speak. So at this time, I
will. .

Okay. Thank you, folks. That's unanimous down
to 10.3 my way. . 2024 bus procurement counselor. .
Thank you through the chair to commissioner, right?
No issue with what we're talking about here. I
think this is obviously what we need to update the
service and to improve our fleet as we're moving forward.
I do want to ask a couple questions in
terms of our these, um, done with the
intent of future proofing our fleet with the right equipment
Are we looking at? Is it all the things
that we've looked at? ? A few weeks? ?
Ago when we were there.
And is there an opportunity to really imagine the future
needs that the service will need in terms of,
um, you know, expanded capacity. The cameras.
We were talking about the display boards, things
like that, and then I also want to ask
a little bit about maybe the opportunity to revisit the
hydrogen. .
Um, pilot that we were exploring before understanding that
we did not have a provincial partner come to the
table, but the federals partner did come to the
table and that, you know, not withstanding this
particular motion. If that's something we could potentially reopened
to explore, what would it cost for us to
meet him? ?
That pilot need without necessarily getting that provincial funding and
could go back to the to the feds to ask
for more as well because I think that that's worth
doing and worth exploring, especially as we're going to
continue to expand the fleet over at my way,
and assuming this again is just for existing service,
and not for necessarily expanded service. .
Three Mr Chair to Councilor Ted Hose. So yes,
Counselor. You're right. This is our fleet
replacement plan that outlined and through the program. There
was an opportunity for us to fast track our fleet
replacement program And at the time we submitted for Ah
hybrid electric Busses, and that's what's being procured for
2024 bus order. So there's 82 hybrid electric Busses
very similar to the bus that you are on the
other day. In fact, that's one of that
was one of their newest Busses that arrive from the
Last procurement.
So it will be very similar in nature. And
obviously, this would go through public tender process.
The actual bus manufacturer at this point is not determined,
but the general features that you saw on the
bus in terms of you know, the state of
the art municipal Transit bus. That's what we would
be procuring with this. .
I would just kind of note that as we we
are moving forward with our transition to to net zero
Bus fleet, And so this is part of our
journey. This is aligned with our climate change goals
and hits our targets as an organization with the 2025
bus order. We should be in a position to
start to procure battery electric Busses. And so I
would suspect next year when we come back with the
2025 bus procurement. .
Um, will be in better shape because we will
have charging capacity and some some charging capacity available at
our seven IQ location that we toured a few weeks
ago, so that would be a sort of our
first step into the the Battery Electric bus determined phase.
.
Your comment around the hydrogen pilot? Yeah, that
is something that we were quite optimistic for. You
know, hydrogen as a net zero bus is seen
as a valid uh, product for my way in
terms of its range battery electric Busses while they are
improving, have range issues, especially on the type
of charging that's done. So if there's a depot
charging that's done overnight, the bus can go out
for a certain amount of time. But that's dictated
by the life of the bad. .
Marie and the duty cycle of the bus has to
come back to get charged. .
It does add a layer of complexity to our route
and schedule planning for my way. .
Whereas the hydrogen bus has a much longer range and
can almost align with our traditional way of scheduling those
Busses. So you know, we did provide counsel
sort of just a quick email memo update saying Here's
the status of that program would be happy to sort
of maybe bring back a report and have a more
fulsome conversation here about the hydrogen project, the benefits
that it does provide for my way. .
And where some of those gaps are potentially how those
gaps could get filled. So we'd be happy to
bring back a report on on that. Thank you.
Commissioner yesterday was fortunate to be at the TRC
a project green over at the airport, and they're
working on their fleet as well in terms of hydrogen,
and I think there's an opportunity there. This
just another quick question. Commissioner around the old Busses
were replacing. These are all just diesel only Busses.
. I'm assuming
And if we did need to still use them to
expand existing services is that possible. .
Three. Mr Charity counselor Ted Hose. So,
yes, So the replacement Our staff from Fleet is
here. Daryn riding their senior manager and his team
that we can comment more about the status of our
fleet. But these are replacement Busses, and the
Busses that are being replaced are at the end of
their useful life. And so they need to be
retired. And they would go through a plan to
get rid of those Busses and and bring on these
new Busses. So we're spending quite a bit on
maintenance of those older Busses and it would be it's
time that they reach the end of the relation. .
All right. Thank you. Thank you. Councilor
Councilor Hornick. Thank you very much. Mr Chair.
Yeah, and Commissioner, right. I mean,
I know we've talked lately about the need for
a new bus depot that we're going to have coming
up in the near future. I just wanted to
have that opportunity to express maybe again about that project
and the need from our higher levels of government to
support that if you have a moment to speak to
that, , sure. .
Through Mr Chair to Councilor Hornick, as outlined in
the housing plan recently. We did kind of flag,
the the improvements that my way needs to make
in order to move more people around the city that
could result of as a result of that housing plan.
And so we did flag within that a new
electric transit gradient northwest Mississauga. .
And as our we're kind of at the point now,
where in order to substantially grow our freedom to
continue to invest in my we do need to make
that investment in new maintenance facilities and and to support
our transition to a net zero fleet. We need
to construct a electric transit garage that would primarily be
for electric Busses, , and that would allow us to
Grow and expand into a net zero transit fleet and
then come back and make retrofits to our existing transit
facilities to allow them to operate in this sort of
hybrid environment where you still need diesel fuel, But
you also need to have electric charges on site as
well. So it is part of our overall strategy
and overall growth program. It is an expensive asset
to build. You know, we did put a
very rough number of about $500 million on that facility.
.
Which in my experience, seeing some recent tenders across
the country coming in for similar types of facilities were
not too far off the range on that. So
it is a significant ask within our capital program and
one that we are going to need federal and provincial
support in achieving this transition to a net zero Transit
fleet, and I would just note that it's not
just Mississauga that's in this position. All fleets across
the country are in the same position where
You know they have traditional diesel Busses now moving into
hybrid diesel electric. Ultimately, battery, electric or
hydrogen, and all these transit organizations are going to
need to make those similar investments in their transit fleet.
So it is an ask that I know as
an organization, the Canadian Urban Transit Association in the
Ontario Public Transit Association is raising awareness on and the
continued need to invest in facilities to support
Public transit transition to a net zero fleet.
Thank you so much. Commissioner. I think it's
just important that you know when we have these big
asks, we take that opportunity to remind the public
who watch that we do have these big things out
there and it's great that you know, a new
facility will be able to position ourselves for those better
power sources that are more net zero Beit Hydrogen Electric,
etcetera. So thank you very much, and
I'll make sure we keep this on the agenda.
Right. . Thank you. .
Great points, counselor, Hornick and thanks for highlighting
that I don't see any other speakers on the board.
Councilor Pedro Can I ask you to move this
forward, , so moved by Councilor Tahoe recorded vote? ?
Thank you folks that has passed unanimously down to 10.8
joint use funding agreement. . Counselor Parish. .
Jody is smiling.
This has been worse than birthing five elephants.
I've never seen anything. Take this long.
The patients that Jodi exhibited is saint like
Occasionally got red in the face dealing with the staff
at the school. That was the problem. We
had the money in the bank. We had a
designs done. We did what would fit And if
you look at the diagrams, you'll see it's a
very tight location. Um, it's an elementary school
property on a
Deep down Crescent with
Just no access at all. The some
They're back in the dark.
Days allowed of secondary school to be built on an
elementary school site. Um, who shall remain unnamed,
, but did go to jail at one point
Um, so this has been a battle Royal and
it's not that we didn't want to do it.
It's not that we didn't do 25 drawings. It
was the principal kept saying. .
That she wanted six tracks. She wanted a dome.
I mean, look at the site. So
anyway, it is finally going through. Jody got
red in the face. Occasionally, I actually lost
my patients once or twice and blasted them. .
The guy who showed the most patients with Steph ship
Pinsky. He never lost it. He just would
get that smile on his face That said. .
I'm dealing with difficult people. I'm going to just
take deep breaths. Really Want to thank Flavia Ian
Sagna Lean. She is the president of the Student
council Parents there. . The student
Body parents.
She was at first under the spell of the staff
there. And once she figured out, um,
that she had a grade nine students that went through
four years with no track that could have had a
track. She came on our side hard and fast.
So this has been a really tough battle.
The separate board was a little difficult as well on
their half of the money. .
All they had to do was ask the province to
dip into the money that they accumulate from selling sites.
They didn't want to do that. I don't
know why. .
So I'm making a big deal out of this because
it was for five, , maybe years of fighting. .
And the sad part is they have fabulous kids.
There they come. They go to Ropa Rhapsody,
and they win everything all the time. They do
really well. Track and field. This is a
strength there. .
And they were practicing running on terrazzo floors in the
halls. .
They were practicing high jump in the parking lots on
pavement. .
And a lot of them got hurt and dropped out.
And there were kids that went through that system
that could have had a track five years ago.
So that's why I'm making a big deal out of
this. Jodi, I thank you, 100%.
You've been fantastic. I think Steph who's not here,
but we should carry him on our shoulders.
These listening probably, um and I think everybody who
had anything to do with this. This is just
a major accomplishment for Malton. .
And for the separate school and for the kids,
especially so I happily move this with great joy because
we never have to talk about it again. Thank
you. .
Thank you. Councilor Parish Councilor Birla just want to
congratulate Counselor Parish. I want to do something not
the same but similar at TL Kennedy. But I
don't know it's going to be like birthing 10 elephants
if you had five, because that's I don't know.
I don't know those size of this project.
It's pretty big, but what we're hoping to do.
There is much bigger and they never come to
pass. . But
Really well done, that you were able to do
it and we'll see how it goes and cooksville.
We'll look at all options to get revenue to thank
you. Councilor went from birthing elephants to really good
news story. So well done, counselor Paris and
I know you're happy to move this, so it's
moved by councilor Paris and it's a recorded vote. .
Thank you folks. That's unanimous as well. 10.9
expanded, , delegated authority and those council parish. .
No, I'm really pleased to see this report.
I just wanted a little clarification when it suggests that
rezoning doesn't have to come through council anymore that it
can be done through staff. Um, I assume
it applies to things like seniors, buildings, things
that are
That we as a group agree deserve him. Zito's
It wouldn't be other, obviously more political situation,
so I just want to double check that if there's
a seniors building or long term care building coming through
Obviously we'd be notified, but we wouldn't have to
go through all that rigmarole. .
Through the chair to the counselor. Yes, yes,
that's correct. So then, is it really
is changing the land use
Creating a new zone for that particular land and what
this really is doing outside of that through site plan
approval process. We have various agreements right now it's
silent to that for MZ does this would essentially just
give me the authority to do that for these M
said. . Oh, ,
Situations and and is it safe to presume that right
now it's it's long term care buildings. None of
us would have any objection to that. If there's
anything else that falls into that category would come back
to us with that. .
Through the chair to the counselor. So for the
M zero process typically what when somebody comes to us
and contemplates that we direct them to counsel and counsel
has a policy that you consider and usually involves things
like long term care, affordable housing and economic development
that you would
Generally consider and them Zito or support one. Beyond
that, If it's just housing project as an example,
it's not something counselors indicated. Support for okay.
Thank you very much, and I'm really delighted
to move this. Thank you. Great. Thank
you very much. Counselor. Paris. I don't
see anybody else on the board, so it is
moved by councilor perish and it's a recorded vote. .
Okay?
There we go. It is unanimous and we are
moving right along to matters pertaining to the region of
peel. .
Not seeing anybody. Okay? I don't know what
Crombie.
Just to let everyone know that we did do the
interviews for the overall yesterday and there will be a
recommendation coming to the to counsel out of Indian camera.
We spent a better part of the day giving
careful consideration to all the candidates, so I hope
you'll hope you'll appreciate a lot of work went into
the decision. The recommendation that's been made. Thank
you. .
Thank you, Madam Mayor Councilor
Thank you through the chair. Just wanted to comment
on our I believe our next meeting isn't for a
couple of weeks. . Um
Sorry. There's one tomorrow but in a couple of
weeks because we're skipping through March break, I know
that counselor Hornick and I are both going to have
motions to support some of our community members here at
council last week we voted in favor supporting the Coptic
Church and and some of their development charge issues.
The larger portion of that is going to be the
regional portion. And so I know that we're council
mornings can be looking for support for that. .
I have the Muslim Association of Canada School, which
is the largest Muslim school in Ontario, or possibly
in Canada, and they are looking for some support
as well. And we are going to the region
first, because it is the significantly larger piece of
the pie, um, and would appreciate council's consideration.
Mississauga counselors consideration when we go to the region
for that. .
Thank you.
Thank you for finding those. I don't see any
other counselors on the boards around a counselor, Enquiries,
counselor, But thank you very much, Mr
Chair. .
I've been contacted by a couple of residents who have,
, uh
Wildlife that have decided to inhabit. Uh
Their property. In one particular case. It's a
family of Fox's. What they've done is they have
contacted. Obviously, our animal services, folks who
I believe have said that we do not
Remove or play any role when the when the wildlife
is on private property, And that may very well
be the city policy. I guess my question through
you to commissioner right would be. Is this or
can we really look at that? I think there
might be some situations from time to time where the
onus only on the homeowner
When it might be broader in the neighborhood, depending
on the type of wildlife there is there that our
staff could actually be involved in, Um, taking
action, possibly relocation or removal, Obviously, in
a humane way, because I think we all agree
with you want it to be done. .
Humanely and not to, um, not to belittle
the private companies that do that, But I have
a little bit more faith in our staff that I
think I would in a private company doing taking the
action or doing the removal. So that's my first
inquiry. And then Mr Chair. I do have
one more quick one, but that's the first one.
. Thank you. .
Through you, Mr Chair to counselor but council,
But, yeah, you did summarize sort of the
general practice that animal service takes in terms of working
with residents around. It's more of an education and
awareness perspective in terms of they do have animals.
Let's say it's a fox den or something that's on
their private property ways to discourage that from happening and
ways to potentially get those foxes to or whatever animal
it is to move on on their own. .
Generally we don't go in and relocate animals from private
property. From that perspective, there are certain cases
where we do go in. If there's you know,
inside the building or there, they made their
way into the roof. Those types of things we
do take a different approach with that, And we
do to your comment often, Uh, you know,
help the residents utilized private relocation services in that
regard. .
But we would be happy to bring back a report.
That kind of speaks to our practice speaks to
a little bit about, you know, just firm
and awareness perspective, the provincial legislation around relocation.
There are some guidelines in place around distances that if
there is a relocation, one kilometer that the maximum
that can be relocated, , so in that situation often
Animals do find their way back. So it's good
that the resident you know, enables practices that discouraged
that type of, , you know, , um
Re homing or re accessing the property so we can
take that as direction counselor to work with their Animal
service team and come back with a better report that
outlines our current practice provincial regulations. And then if
we were to, maybe, perhaps change our practice
what That would mean from a from a resource perspective
so we can certainly take that direction. .
Okay. Thank you very much for that, and
I look forward to seeing that report back in due
course. .
The second item is everyone's favorite this time of year
because we've all got the calls and the emails.
And that, of course, is is windows and
snowplowing and other
Related issues. And I know previous councils have debated
the level of service what we can and can't do,
and I don't know whether the timing is right
for this new council to be re looking at it
again, but that last storm was particularly bad because
of the amount of ice and really solid end of
driveway. .
And sometimes sidewalks know that there is no way residents
can possibly be in a position to remove that even
talked to one person that my neighbor came over with
the snow. But the snow blower can't even deal
with that, because they're not. They're not built
to, you know, they're not Zambonis or other
ice ice oriented type machinery there, snowblowers and a
lot of people were simply not able to get out
of their driveways or walkways for many days and still
We're not going to get any thawing this week.
Either, and there are still people who have not
had been able to get their car out of the
driveway for for five days. Now, we're six
days since the storm last Friday, so I guess
through you Mr Chair to commissioner right again. I
don't know if you want to comment on that again,
, whether this is the right time to get another
Report or my colleagues here think it's appropriate for us
to re look at that issue again. I know
there's pros and cons and all this and obviously there's
cost. I actually got one email from a resident
said, , Raise my taxes. .
Just get just get this stuff off the end of
my driveway. I don't think I've ever read an
email or someone said, Raise my taxes. But
this could be an issue now that we need to
revisit in some way, shape or form because we
are getting way more comments back from our residents,
both by email and by phone, So I'll leave
that Mr. . Chair. . Thank you. .
Question. Do you want to make comment? Thank
you, Mr Charity Counselor. But so, counselor,
Um, yeah. You know what you said,
is correct. We did have a debate at
the previous council in 2020. When the current winter
maintenance contract was being decided, And at that time
we did procure a number of options to the tender.
One of those being wind rose and the price
that was presented to council was about $10.4 million annually.
.
For the cost of wind rose and so council decided
to omit that service level from the winter maintenance contract.
Um and but there was a request for us
to go back and re tender that again and come
back to this council with an update. So we
are in the process of doing that We are in
market right now for that additional service level. .
Um, and will likely be in a position to
take that back through a budget committee in the not
too distant future about the cost for that for that
price, So I would expect that $10.4 million because
it's not part of a winter maintenance contract to be
a lot higher than than what it was bid at
previously. I think the current estimate from staff was
around $15 million, but I wouldn't be surprised if
that cost came back a little bit higher, So
I just wanted to provide that context, but we
will be bringing back
A report as requested, outlining the cost of that
service level, and we can and council can have
that discussion again. .
In the not too distant future.
Thank you, Jeff.
Councilor Kovac. Thank you. And through you,
Mr Chair. I have a question about street sweeping.
It's quite general. Which is why I didn't
ask to have item 10.2 earlier held and for commissioner
right? ?
When we are sweeping
And we have a bicycle lanes and they're separated either
by Bullard's or whatever they might be separated by what
are we using to ensure that those
Lanes, get the sweeping as well.
And when there are not
Presumably or not, even presumably, there is debris
that will build up. How frequently are we checking
catch basins on arterial roads? ?
Would be kind of the second part to the question.
.
Three. Mr Charity counselor Kovac. So it's Scott
home is in the audience, so I'm going to
ask him to come down to give more. .
More detailed response and I could provide on your specific
questions. .
Thank you.
Thank you, Jeff. Through you, Mr Chair
to Councilor Kovac. We do have some other specialized
equipment that can win. Whether we put it on
a track this machine the machines that clear some of
our sidewalks. We can put a broom on there
to be able to clear them. We've been working
with our active transportation team to make sure that when
they are putting these sorts of
Um
Separated bike lanes that we've got the proper equipment available
to be able to maintain them through the summer as
well as the winter to be able to do that,
, so
We should be fine to be able to go through
the areas that have been designated as a separated bike
lanes to make sure that they're clear when the program
kicks off. .
Okay? And as usual, if there's ever a
situation where there are blockages and residents are concerned,
and the expressed that I'm sure you won't mind as
you've, you've always told us reach out to you
Let you know And you'll make sure that that gets
remedied so absolutely yes. .
Thank you, Councilor. Thank you, Scott.
And thank you to the team for all your hard
work over the last little while appreciated America, Crombie.
.
So two things. First off Thank you, Councilor.
But on the windrow issue, I have never
had more complaints. They come to me direct me
to directly. They are sending me videos of what
this wall of ice at the end of their driveway
looks like as as counselor but described as nothing that
anyone is going to shovel or a snow blower is
going to remove so other municipalities I understand are getting
this not having the same effect with their snowplowing. .
So I think it's time that we sit down and
look at them equipment again and what it would cost
and maybe it's evolved and won't cost so much And
maybe we can accommodate it. Even although I think
one of the reasons we couldn't accommodate as we can
store, it costs too much, and it wasn't
going to do the smaller roads and cold air sacs
and just the bigger boulevard. So if we could
look at it again, Jeff, I don't know
Maybe it this
This snowstorm, and the one was at last month.
No last month that one was bad, but
this one was horrible. It's just seems to be
the amount of snow and ice fell in such a
contracted period of time, and it was very heavy.
And then the rain started and it became ice
and then it froze. And it's just a nightmare.
It's worse than I've ever heard it in my
11 years here, and it's always been a problem.
.
But I can't. I don't even like to open
my inbox Right now. I honest to God.
I have forwarded a few of them to you.
But maybe it's something you can bring back and we
can have that discussion again about what the cost would
be and whether the equipment is evolved and we could
have accommodated etcetera if you want to make any comments.
.
Three Mr Chair to Tamir Crombie. Yes, Mayor
Crombie. So we are at market right now,
with a going to tender for a cost for wind
rose and we'll bring back a report. I believe
we're going to target Budget Committee because it would have
a budget impact and will outline the results of that
procurement in terms of what it means to provide Windrow
removal service. .
And answer all the questions that you've just flagged in
terms of equipment where it can be done. What
type of driveways can be done? What the cost
is and when it could be added to the contract,
which would likely be is so if council were
to decide Yes, , let's say later this year. .
You need time for the contractors to acquire the equipment.
So would likely be the fall of 2024 that
started that winter season where that service level could be
provided. But we will get into all that information
to go through all these complaints again next year season
because of the need for the contractors to it's been
a relatively warm
Winter, other than a couple of big, really
big dumps that we've had. So we were fortunate
up to a few weeks ago with the amount of
snow that we received this year. It was looking
like it was going to be a pretty mild winter.
From that perspective, and in the winter maintenance
teams. Well, very busy, certainly didn't have
to deal with the amount of snow that we typically
get. But that changed and as you flagged the
type of snowstorm that we got last week, the
temperature that there's no arrived in
Allowed for a very high accumulation quickly. But then,
as you've referenced with the temperature change to reign,
it became very heavy and quickly turned to ice.
So yeah, I can. I can I
can relate to the amount of windows that we received,
but also the impact that had on residents and
on their access to and from their driveways. Thank
you. So you know other municipalities are getting this
done and we're aware of it. .
People have moved in from other municipalities and said that
it was cleared previously. Why can't we do it?
And I wrote back to one of the residents
and said what it would be 1 to 1.5% on
your tax bill, and they wrote back that they
thought it might be worth it. So it's something
to look at. Because it was $10 million for
the newer counselors when we looked at it before,
you know, so something to look at is a
big cost. .
The other one is something that's been kind of brewing
in my in my head since the passing of our
former beloved mayor Hazel in just another way that we
can recognize her. Obviously, we have named the
library Central Library for her. But you know,
I've often wondered about how citizen of the years operated
out of the real estate board and her story Mississauga
News and volunteer of the year. .
Volunteer volunteer of the year. Out of the,
uh they're out of the Mississauga news, vice versa
and the real estate boards. We don't have any
word honoring residents here. So I thought, if
you could look at a hazel McCallion Spirit award,
if possible, and just think about what that would
look like, and you know, it doesn't have
to be maybe some sort of glass sculpture award. .
We have the glass studio across the street. But
what would that look like? I just asking staff
to think. Give that some thought. Maybe it's
something we could launch on Canada Day pick someone who
embodies Hazel Spirit and the hazel McCallion spirit or what
I like that idea lot and something that we can
present big on a larger stage without, you know,
,
Anyway, so I just
I was thinking about more recognition and tributes as the
weeks have gone by, and I thought I'd throw
that to staff to direct you to take a look
at it and bring it back Some suggestions to us
Looking at Rob for worth up there. Is he
nodding so we'll take that back and and come back
with a proposal. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, , Councilor Hornick. .
Well, I feel like we almost all need to
drop a loony in a swear jar for saying the
s word. Snow Snow, Right? Um,
counselor part you, Madam Mayor, You're all put
in a loony in the Yeah. I mean,
I think just kind of elaborate more on the debate.
I mean, I think we face the challenge
in the city where we have an aging population in
single detached homes, , right? ?
And it's creating a generational issue because you know,
people who were previously more able who could break down
those ice blocks are not able to as much anymore,
Right? So I think it is a challenge.
I guess my question for the commissioner nowhere out
to tender on this. .
There's sometimes when you look at it, and you're
like man, that's just the price living in Canada.
There's other times when you're like somebody who lives
on a four lane road, and they're getting two
lanes of windrow. .
Is an even steeper hill to climb. And I
wonder, Is there any differentiation that we can make
in the contract? ? Because
Look when drones stink, no matter where you are,
but there's also some where you look at and
you're like you're not just clearing a one lane of
traffic going out two lanes of traffic. That's an
even higher bar to have to do. Is there
any differentiation we can make about that? ? Scott? ?
While Scott's waiting to come down. I will say
I did take the time where I got a small
number of compliments on our snow clearing
It was small. I know it's rare, but
some very kind. People did compliment us and I
do make sure I pass those on to Scott and
his team. Because I know the differentiation of people
who send a compliment versus a complaint is is not
always the best. Scott, do you have a
thought? ?
Yes, through you, Mr Chair that counselor Hornak.
. Thank you for that. .
We didn't separate in the in the tender the procurement
that's out now the differentiating between
You know, two or three lane road that might
have some residential streets and just the regular residential.
It was more
Just how many dwellings do we actually have?
Um, And it's very difficult to do townhouse dwellings
because you've got nowhere to put the snow even if
we went out with the machines, , so
We will detail all that information for you something that
we can look at. But I haven't really had
a lot of complaints from like the people on Katara,
for instance, that we actually clear it's been
the people just on the residential streets that have been
the boisterous ones for this for this episode, so
we'll put it that way. But something we can
look at
Okay, I guess I had two other quick points.
One is also the other place where I had
sympathy as people in the bends of a road right?
And I know that it's a challenge, sometimes
to kind of
Get deeper into the curve of a street, depending
on how it's constructed. But again, you know,
when you're leaving several feet of snow, it
is that much harder on people and again. Sometimes
you have to say we are in Canada. But
there's sometimes you look at something on a video and
you're like, , Oh, , boy, , I
Yeah. Is there anything we can do a little
bit in our current on that Just getting into those
bends a little bit better through the chair to Councilor
Hornak. We do instruct the plows to try to
get as close to the curb as they can on
those. We call them the deep elbows where you've
got those wide turns that you have to do.
We also set up loader routes that we have loaders
go in afterwards and then clear those areas. .
So if you have any of your residents that maybe
we missed it that it's not on the map.
Let us know and we can make sure that we
get that added, , because we do have
About a dozen to 15 loaders in each one of
the yards that we have that are specifically to do
the deep elbows as well as clean up the courts.
Because, you know, we use the loaders
to clean up the courts and pal everything into the
middle. So if you do get those requests,
send them over to me, and I'll make sure
that we get them onto the roots. Perfect.
Thank you. . I guess last question I have was
Maybe this is more to Jeff and parking enforcement.
So in a couple of cases, one particular case,
, a resident saw that snow was coming. .
The streets were littered with cars. And so when
subsequently the plow comes around. It just can't get
down the road. Um, is there anything we
can be doing on the parking enforcement too? Because
you know, when we have a snow date,
we shouldn't be out there parking our cars, and
I know we make the announcements. But is there
anything especially with our possibly amped up by law that
will be able to do on that side of things?
?
Sure, sure. I'll tell field that one that
when the commissioner passes you the torch you take it.
So we work with our parking enforcement team to
try to help prevent that. We do have the
no parking 2 to 6 A.m.. When we are
in the winter event, we suspend the temporary parking
permits to try to help. We do have a
bit of a pilot going on in war 10 with
The one street parking only that has been working and
maybe not always working. . It's very difficult. .
If you don't have kind of a broad, no
parking through the winter for our vehicles to do any
kind of activity, , and it's not just
In any particular area. It's a citywide thing,
so we do try to work with our parking enforcement
teams. There's communications that our team has, as
we know we're getting into the residential areas are crews
and inspectors will actually go and and look into the
streets that we're getting ready to go into. .
And if we see some issues, try to let
them know, but they're not resource to be able
to do this as big as what we need to
across the city as well. But we do partner
with him as best we can to try to minimize
it because it adds extra expense and time for us.
.
If we have to go back because of parked cars
afterwards, people think if they park their car,
they're all we're not going to get the windrow.
But when we come back, guess what? You
know, we put the snow back in the in
the driveway. So or the neighbor next to them
ends up getting it And then we get the call,
because they they don't. They don't like having
that in their driveway because their neighbor park the car
in the street, , so
It's a challenge for us when we try to work
with our parking enforcement, friends as best we can,
and I know in from what I heard just
in Toronto. You know, In some cases,
they'll tell the car, especially, I think if
the plows completely blocked from getting onto a street,
maybe that is a right. We have to go
and what they do is they stick a big orange
flag on it. .
Like along with the parking ticket, and it's like
you better come get your car right now, um,
Otherwise it's getting hold. Is that anything we
could do if I mean look, I know you've
got a big city, but there's got to be
some times where, like you can't get the plow
down the road, and that's inconsistent, inconveniencing a
higher number of people, , right? ?
Three. Mr Charity counselor Hornick. So, yes,
certain as an example. Toronto does that a
lot more because of things like street cars as well.
So, Yeah, I was driving on Dundas
Street in Toronto on Saturday. And there was a
car parked blocking a street car, which is quite
and there was a tow truck on its way so
you can see the operation in process And so we
have done that in the past where we do tow
vehicles where it's not a level of service that we
provide across the city. It is, you know,
we have that available that sort of you know,
, and and an emergency type basis last
But it's not sort of a level of service that's
offered during winter events just from a resource perspective in
terms of management, managing that, that type of
demand. . Thank you so much. .
Thank you very much. Scott. I know it's
a hard winter. If I my colleagues, colleagues
indulge me one more minute. I have one last
question. This one is actually more to Jodi.
So this is about parks. And we have some
parks that are seasonal parks. . Um
Stay support, usually sports fields they get barred in
the winter. I have got a couple of examples
where people are saying during the summer months, there
are a few cars coming in, and the parking
lots are unlit. That's our current standard is to
not have them live. But cars are coming in
late at night, and things are being exchanged through
windows. I don't know, maybe trading hockey cards.
.
But I don't suspect that's the case. Um,
I guess is that something? We've had a report
on lately that we could look at the service level
of that Because I think in particular when we have
people, calling us out for activities that are repeat,
and I understand Yes, we can call peel
police. But peel police will deem that a very
low priority of response because it's not an actionable. .
Um, high risk situation is that something we could
look at or have we looked at recently? ?
Thank you through you. Chair. Maloney to Councilor
Hornick haven't specifically looked at parking lots. We do
have parking lots that are either maintained or not maintained
in the winter. The ones that aren't maintained in
the winter are generally gated where we have the P
gates and we close them off. But there are
some still that aren't maintained that don't have P.
Gates. .
And it really depends on whether we have access.
Um In some cases, we have parking agreements with
schools where we maintain certain parking lots, even though
it may not seem like the park is used,
But we have an access agreement with the school to
keep a parking lot open. So it's It's not
an easy yes or no answer, and I can't
say that since Covid. We went back and we
really looked at what facilities were open in the winter
time and so we opened. .
Tennis courts, and we opened some of our artificial
fields, and it sort of became a new level
of service. Once once covid restrictions were in place,
we didn't go back and close those all up
because the members of the community really liked access to
the parks more in for winter use, so I'd
have to look at the specific
Locations. But if it isn't a parking lot that
we can close down because we have another agreement,
we do work with peel regional police as well.
Or if it's a parking lot where we really just
need to look at getting some P gates in there
and closing it during off season. We can do
that as well. In particular lighting, I guess
is the challenge that the neighbors really would like to
see some lighting in the park because I know that's
not our standard on that kind of park, right?
I will. I will say lighting in the
park is a little bit like our speed hump issue
that
Everybody wants lighting in the park until the park is
Lit up and then they don't want lighting in the
park. So we have a standard on where we
light pathways and where we light parking lots and where
we don't and it and it is very site specific
because you know part of the sub tested. .
Kind of philosophy is if you light it, you're
encouraging people to use that area. Um and is
and is it really meant for
Use.
All night long, So we have to
Take a look at that. I'm sorry. I
can't give you a really simple, easy answer to
thank you so much to work with your office and
thank you to my colleagues for giving me a little
extra time. . They appreciate it. .
Unintended consequences. Counselor Birla
Thank you. I just had a interesting well,
several similar conversations. I just wanted to ask if
we have a policy citywide. So my residents are
telling me that given what's going on along here,
Ontario, the traffic through side streets and neighborhoods,
streets has increased significantly, , which I can understand. .
But then they also said that Toronto has in place
and I was surprised to hear this where they stop.
People who don't live in the neighborhood from going
in. And I don't know how you do that,
, like you sit there with
Ensure your idea. Do you live here? I
mean, I don't know how you would do that.
But I was also wondering. I mean,
these are all taxpayer paid roads. So how do
you stop someone from going in to use it as
a through cut
Some sensitive to you know the increased volume going through
certain neighborhoods, but also it's kind of curious.
Is this true that Toronto's doing this because they are
asking me now to look at ways to stop through
traffic going through? ?
Their neighborhoods.
Mr Charity counselor, Maryland. So you're like.
These are public roads, so technically, you can't
shut them down and provide access to only to residents.
Only you can put up signage and say local
traffic only as an example. But that's really not
really that enforceable because these are public roads and people
need to get around. And I would suggest that
you know. Yes. Yes, The Ontario construction
is
Impactful, and it is creating a lot of challenges
for residents that are along the corridor. And this
morning I was sitting at a table with someone who
is living off of your Ontario. We're having this
exact conversation. And so the fortunate part of it
is that it's temporary. But you know, as
we lived through that it's it's a concern. So
I don't want to dismiss Mishka diminish the concerns that
are being addressed. So if there are certain streets,
we can certainly have a look at a more
detailed review of
It. Does this road provide access to a different
corridor, and sometimes you know, you kind of
want traffic to disperse a little bit. Otherwise,
it's going to be significant congestion in certain areas so
but if it's if it's a court or local street,
maybe there is something we can do. So
I'd be happy to work with your office counselor on
any specific locations you have, and between metro links
and the city's LRT office. We can have a
look at our their mitigation measures that we can put
in place. .
Perhaps we could put up some additional signage. That's
a you know local traffic only, but to the
point earlier. You can't really, you know,
prevent people from utilizing that street. Thank you.
Thank you. . Councilor Parish. .
Yes, Um, on the wind, Rose.
We all want to go to heaven and no one
wants to die. As soon as you get into
the budget discussions, everybody pulls back from this and
I'm going to remind everybody about today's conversation. Because
we've got an aging population in Mississauga. We've got
a lot of seniors who were made housebound by wind
rose. .
Can't get out. Their kids live in Vancouver,
and they just they're stuck there until it melts.
And I was watching the snow blowers on my street.
And what was coming out of the end of
it wasn't snow. . It was water. .
Because it was so wet underneath, So I'm just
going to remind everybody because when we do budget,
the weather is usually better, and we don't have
complaints from people who are getting stuck. And then
we hear the amount it's going to cost and we
all go. Oh, my God, we'd love
to do this, but we can't afford it.
So front row remember today. .
Marked down the date we've been talking about. This
is 2006 when I was in council the first time
and it's never been affordable and you go through the
reports that we get are very extensive and very detailed
and take a lot of staff time and we all
go. We'd love to do it, but we
just can't afford it. So that's my little spiel
on that. And Brad, I agree with you
on wildlife. . Um
My office called. I have two foxes in my
backyard. .
They live under my wooden deck, and one of
them has mange so badly there is nothing left on
the tail No for and it shakes when it comes
out, Of course, my stupid Bulldogs chase it,
So they whip under that gazebo, and we
called because the one Fox is very sick, and
it's kind of sad for the kids in the neighborhood.
.
And didn't get much of a response. So I
think we have to start looking at the fact particularly
when you live close to ravines. You live close
to parks with some wild area in it. I
have coyotes. They don't come in my backyard.
They're afraid of my Bulldogs. I think, but
the foxes I have two of them. I have
a raccoon who's lived here in my backyard for three
years. .
And I now have a possum who looks adorable until
he opens his mouth. .
And you look at those teeth and it's like old
my God. Anyway, I think I'd like to
see that report that counselor but has asked for and
I might say in a city built along ravines in
the credit River, , we might have to look at
Doing something with wildlife just to be humane. Was
it Gandhi that said, the way you treat your
animals is the way you treat your people, and
I think we have to pay attention to this.
So I'm just supporting you, Brad. I think
it's a something we should be looking at. Thank
you. .
I think Brad appreciates that counselor.
Thank you through the chair. Um, first question,
um either city manager or corporate services in and
around support for our residents. Associations have had this
request from a number of our repair associations of which
everybody knows. I have many 14 very engaged associations
across war, too, And I believe counselor.
Tesco also has about a dozen
So, you know, certainly the South is very
engaged, and we love that they are asking for
some support, either to the community benefits program.
If you're registered group or something that could be offered
to residents associations specifically around insurance for boards. It
is one of their, um large expenses that they
do to be ensured. .
As and this could be community services. Apologies that
they would like the city to look into. And
I'd be interested in seeing if we could support our
residents Associations with board insurance. .
Thank you. Through you, Mr Chair. We
do have an insurance program as part of being a
registered group. I think what you're seeing is boards
who are wanting to get additional insurance. Um,
just because of some, you know, bad behavior
is going on in other areas, not in their
own board. . But
You know, a number of boards have been a
little bit more cognizant and wanting to increase insurance.
So we have you know our insurance provider and they
pay the premium through the city. So if there's
an additional amount that we can take a look at
that would be a premium that you know, and
they just pay. They just pay that. But
then they get all the benefits of you know certain
things for it, but it was a lot more
reasonable than individually having to go out. .
And secure that insurance for themselves like to see if
it would be affordable or not for the city to
potentially pay for that insurance as well for if they
had a certain amount of requirements that we want to.
I just want to look into it a bit
more would be appreciated. My second question is in
around this report that, um, unfortunately, came
out yesterday from the B C. Human Rights Commission.
.
On hate and discrimination in Canada and BC specifically But
this has been a theme since Covid started, um
483% 82% increase in anti Asian racism was reported yesterday.
.
400. That's five times.
That's unbelievable.
There was 115 increase in, uh, in black
racism as well. .
And that's very, very disturbing, and I was
going to say that in sort of announcements and that
we need to reaffirm our support for these communities.
But also I think we have an opportunity with the
amazing celebrations that our communications team has put on,
Um for black History month. The event this morning
for international women's Day was fantastic. .
And I think the city has a role to play
in promoting our diverse Ah, populations in the city
and over. I think 56% from the last census
showed that Mississauga residents are Asian or South Asian descent.
So I'd like to quickly ask Rob. I
know it wasn't part of the original celebrations schedule for
the city of Mississauga for this year, but is
there you know? Could we get a number or
an idea if
If we wanted to do something similar
Because it's been they've been such phenomenal events and sort
of your victim of your own success here Rob for
for doing such a good job for the city for
promoting these different landmark events that we have throughout the
year looking into what we could potentially do this year,
even if it's small to start off for for
Asian Heritage Month and South Asian Heritage Month, which
happens to be in May. .
Ah, through you, Mr. Chair to Councilor
Ted Hose. . Um
It's a bit of a tough one to answer in
terms of what we could do because we could do
a lot. We brought a report last year in
May two council recommending that we add to the traditional
events list International Women's Day National Day for truth and
Reconciliation, Black History month as well as pride and
that would join Remembrance Day it would join New Year's
Eve Levy, the mayor's levy Canada Day and a
couple of other events that we would do as events
that the city would do every year. .
At the same time, the city has a number
of other ways to recognize events of significance. Months
of significance. And so you'll see programming across the
community in terms of libraries does quite a bit of
that culture does quite a bit of that as well.
And so the report last year really spoke to
how do we better coordinate that across the city so
that we aren't
Missing anything that's of importance, but that we also
have some criteria around. You know what we're celebrating.
And so that report was approved, and we've
been implementing that and that the Black History month event
that took place this year was the first one that
the city itself has coordinated. The mayor's office in
the past has done them, and I think the
last couple of years they were virtual. So this
was the first in person, , one. .
Um, this morning's event. I'd like to take
credit for it. But I can't that was done
entirely by the mayor's office, so I don't want
credit where it's not due. But that was an
event that the city was hosting. We've also had
a number of internal events. Sherry, among others,
were on a panel yesterday, talking about International
Women's Day. .
So this was really our first foray without significant resources
being put behind it to do this, I would
suggest if we wanted to move forward with recognizing other
months other days that we take this back and maybe
take it to the newly established or soon to be
established anti racism, , discrimination and hatred committee
Have those conversations there and see what those recommendations would
be. I know other cities have grappled with this
and other cities have different ways of doing this,
and there is resource implications. So my concern is,
if we start down this path without a coordinated
approach that we could wind up, not really having
a criteria and sort of
Doing ad hoc events. So I'd like to go
back and have that conversation with the newly established committee
and then possibly bring back report with that said.
We do have the community recognition program, which is
open to all residents and all groups. And so
if anybody wants to raise a flag if they want
to have the clock tower lit, you know if
they want to talk to the libraries if they want
to talk to museums about some of this
I know that programming can be done. So I'm
thinking we can probably accommodate that in the short term
because may is coming up quickly. But in the
longer term, I think we'd want to have a
bigger conversation about which dates and events. Do we
recognize this corporation and what the resource implications of that
would be
Thank you, Rob and happy to do that and
move that when? When? Appropriate. Thank you.
.
Thank you, Councilor Fonseca.
Thank you, Hugh Chair. Um, I think
this question might be to Jody. I'm not certain,
um, in 2021 to help prevent diabetes in
the city of Mississauga City, joined the city's changing
diabetes. .
Program and also unveiled a stra and Mississauga Mississauga made
diabetes strategy. Um and I'm just wondering, uh,
I've had questions from a number of residents just
wondering if we are still on the timelines that were
presented the milestones that were presented back when we launched
the project. .
Um, with regards to am
Winter and spring public engagement happening this year in 2023.
.
And when will a, uh a report or,
um
Hmm. An update be brought back to council.
Thank you to you, Mr Chair. I'm happy
to provide some more information Councilor. I know a
number of things are ongoing and so specifically public engagement
in spring of two. If that was specific,
specific action item, we did a lot of work
in conjunction with the mayor's office and U T m
right. . So I think
There has been if that's the program you referring to?
There's been a lot of movement on some of
those areas. But if it's a specific action item
in the plan, , I think
That's the piece that will have to go back and
get more info and I'm happy to take it offline.
It's just a number of a number of residents
in light of different announcements that have been made you
TM was one partner as well as um, Trillium
Health partners, So I think that's where the questions
from community members have come from. So so I
don't need an answer necessarily today, but it's just
something that residents have flagged for me and also different
organizations. .
Ah as well. So thank you very much.
Um, And then just to follow up on the
don't want to belabor the winter maintenance, But I'm
I too am in support of taking another look at
it with regards to, , um not only the equipment
Um, that we we need to provide, Uh,
equitably. Uh, no matter what community in
the city, um, but also to look at
the service levels. So, um, Jeff,
you had mentioned that even if we do have a
report that comes back in
In the next couple of weeks or months that we
can look at that you're looking. You are saying
that we won't necessarily be able to deploy the equipment
if we were to make the decision to remove the
wind, rose, But could you also include in
that report? What can suggestions of what can be
done? ? Of course. .
It.
It will be at potentially at a cost. Um,
but what could be done in 2023 for this
for this winter coming forward? Um and that would
be. I had asked last week for report to
come back with regards to service levels in parks and
trails and connections to schools, but also is there
something that could be done to better align the service
levels for sidewalk clearing
Mm. Sidewalk clearing and also, um with regards
to, um how we collaborate with the region,
so I am not sure if we now clear all
regional roads. I'm under the understanding that the region
continues to clear Dixie. . I could be mistaken. .
But perhaps there are there's service level through coordination with
the region and co throwers referenced also by Scott.
Um, perhaps there's ways that we can through through
coordination. Look at the service levels with the equipment
that we do have right now. . I'm not sure
Um and, uh, also one other thing that
I did get quite a few emails, not only
this year, but last year and concerns from residents
that live along Blur Street and if we are moving
And I've had them in the past with from residents
that live up front on two or corner onto Rathburn
and pony trail, and this has been a as
a result of a vast moving forward towards planning for
integrated road projects. As you know, so if
that could be all part of the report that is
brought back obviously what the costs are. .
But what
Can potentially be done in 2023.
If we're not able to get and if we do
decide, and we're not able to get the the
windrow clearing equipment put in place for winter of 2023.
How else may we be able to support equitably?
All all road users, including pedestrians, those
with accessibility. Those are they're taking transit those that
are walking to school. .
Ah, um and so on and so forth.
Three. Mr Charity counselor Fonseca. So we've obviously
captured all your comments counselor and will will respond appropriately
in the winter maintenance report. Um, our focus
of the report was just on windows. But you've
asked us now they consider a number of other things
that we can take a look at in terms of
the regional service levels and give you the reconfirm that
breakdown between what the region of peel does. .
Versus what the city of Mississauga does from winter maintenance
perspective, and the city does perform services for the
region, and perhaps I'll seek clarification from the team
behind me on if you want that information now,
or would you want it in that report, but
maybe quickly, Helena Scott, just in terms of
the service at the region, appeal provides and and
we'll take all that information Councilor in factor that into
the report. .
I'm not sure there would be a lot of support
we could offer from a windrow perspective. You know,
in that short time frame between when council could
decide, Say it. Budget Committee you know,
in in
Let's say it's May or June. Whatever the date
works out to be, Um, and then that
winter season, you know, we do have our
windrow program Would that is a separate level of service,
And that's something that perhaps we could look at
that and see if there's an opportunity to expand that.
But that is a resource issue than maybe all
that. Scott Helen just comment on that piece,
And I'll just say that the Windrow program that we
have
Um and other counselors have referenced it for for seniors
or those with ability, ability, challenges that have
applied for that program there, Uh, the service
levels that we have currently and that we have supported
being 36 hours after the event is declared complete,
is just
I think it's just too much for for those that
have that have applied for that program. So there's
that. Potentially there's opportunity there for at least the
2023 winter season. Um and also with sidewalk clearing,
potentially if there's opportunity there and then increasing service
levels again. .
Within our trail and park system to to address requests
that have come from students, So I'm not sure
if Scott wants to comment really, really briefly or
Helen. So through chair Mahoney to Councilor Fonseca Scott
and I'll tag team. I'll do some of the
answers, and I'll pass the operational based ones more
to Scott. But Jeff mentioned earlier that we have
a procurement out right now. .
And there's actually three elements to that procurement. The
wind Roses one, but we're also looking for quotes
on sidewalk snow clearing across the city. Currently,
we only have priority routes. So we're looking for
the cost for sidewalk snow clearing citywide, So I
think that will address some of the questions that you
have raised this morning. Um and then the third
element is bicycle lane, , snow removal as well. .
And so that will be broken down in the report.
And, as Jeff has mentioned, all the
other questions that you've raised today will try to incorporate
in the report as well. But from an operations
perspective and coordination with the regional past that over to
Scott, Thank you, Helen through the charity counselor,
, Fonseca. .
At this time we do all the maintenance on Queensway
Catherine Winston Churchill That's part of the regional road. .
We are in conversation with them to pick up Dixie
below Queensway just because their resources their only yard is
copper road, which is it steals in the 4
10. .
So it becomes kind of challenging for them to get
all the way down here. This is why they
have access to do that. So we're working on
an updated agreement to include portions of Dixie. .
We work very closely. In fact, I had
a meeting with the region appealed Brampton and Kalinin counterparts.
We meet every month. People at my level
we have that discussion to talk about. .
How we're working together to make sure that we've got
those timelines in order. So we're keeping an eye
on that very closely to make sure that we're in
conversations they provide us updates similar to I do,
updates for your team and the rest of a lot
of people here at the city. They do the
same thing for us and our supervisor team, So
we know where everybody is and where we are to
make sure that we're coordinating. .
When it comes to getting equipment for the 2023 2024
season. If we get approval in June, it
will be a supply chain issue for any of those
equipments. If you've tried to even get a car
yourself, you know how long did it take?
So you can imagine this sort of specialist equipment?
That's why we're giving them that year and a half
to be able to make sure that they've got the
equipment in place before we start. .
The other piece of that If the Windrow program goes
through, we expect it's about 220 pieces of equipment
that we would need to do this program. I
don't have anywhere to put 220 pieces of equipment right
now. So we are in the works of making
sure that we've got the room. .
Same with the sidewalk to do the remainder of the
sidewalks. Um, that's about another 50 pieces of
equipment. I believe to be able to handle that.
So it becomes a capacity thing that we have
to make sure that we're ready both logistically operationally and
have staff supported to be able to, , um
I had those programs if council wishes us to add
them. .
Okay. Thank you. I appreciate that. If
there
If there's anything that could be done for the 2023
season, that would be wonderful, and I understand
the
The capacity or the the
The capacity issues and not having somewhere to store all
of the equipment in place. But thank you very
much. Thanks for everyone for clarifying. Thank thank
you, Councilor Franciscan. I assume Jeff when you
were in there, just trying to follow that.
Adding to the report a user pay type system for
wind. Rose. Is that what you were saying?
That could kind of add some information on how
that could work or
Sorry, Harry.
Remember, you know, like I think Councilor we
could look at when we present to the options will
present the cost to do the work. And then
it becomes a financial discussion in terms of is that
a tax a tax recovery? User recovery may be
even more difficult to achieve, But we can look
at different options and have that conversation that Budget Committee
appreciate that America Crumby
Thank you and I for neglected to add two things
to my inquiries, and I'll kick off announcements if
I may since I've seen to be the last person
on the board. .
Um, I should have said a big thank you
as well to the road clearing efforts that were done.
We don't have the equipment to do the windrow
so we don't so that's it to staff looking at
the committees. I met with the New Trucking Association
yesterday, and they are asking when with that might
get up and moving. If we have terms of
reference, yet we will be reporting back on that
in the next couple of weeks. .
Weeks. Okay, Very good. And then on
Friday, this is this crosses over between announcements and
inquiries. So, as you know, the peel
regional police is hosting along with the police board is
hosting a summit on car jackings and auto thefts.
And whereas I try to get everyone invited, they
kind of said they have limited space and I already
sent out the invites, but I will report back.
.
And the bigger issue is that they need the people
at the table. Who can make a difference like
the car manufacturers, insurers, the federal provincial government
border services, etcetera, so that's what will happen
on Friday. .
But as well, I'm wondering, looking at Rob
North up there. Look at our comms team.
If you'd be able to work with peel police to
maybe do a small education and communications campaign project on
car thefts and prevention tips on top vehicles being stolen
And what to do with your car is stolen.
Who you call obviously, , insurance and
And just to keep our residents informed and engaged.
Is that something we can look into? I did
talk about some prevention measures that
Peel regional police discussed when Councilor Mahoney and I were
at a community meeting on auto thefts and break ins,
etcetera, and they said something like a tin
box at the dollar store could go a long way
to put your keys in and little foil wrappers for
spare keys, etcetera. So I wonder if you
might think about little education campaign on what comes the
outcomes of the summit on the
Friday.
Through the chair to Mayor Crombie. We can take
a look at that. I think we should see
what the outcomes of our the of the summit are,
, Um
Certainly hot and really lean on, you know,
Peel police in terms of their information, and then
we can certainly push it out through all of our
channels. Thank you. Subject to council direction to
do something broader. You didn't see how are you
Didn't see Rob to Ortho approaching the podium. I
did, but he doesn't need to come down every
time we talk about communications, so we'll talk about
announcements now. Just a big thank you to everyone
involved this morning. . Such
To the front bench team here are champions are commissioners
who all joined us and to the councilors who were
able to make it to communications department. Corporate comms
who assisted my office. A big big Thank you
to Natasha. Mystery in my office who was a
real superstar this morning and I executed this thing flawlessly.
I know a lot of people help. But
Natasha was her brainchild. She found the guest speakers
who were so inspirational. I have to say this
is my favorite one. . We've had some great
Speakers in the past, but this was awesome.
So it just to acknowledge that the two were Lesley
Hampton and Inish Nabi, breakthrough fashion designer who joined
us and provided the keynote address. This is a
young woman that went to U T M, Our

Yeah, I think that's the one where her
designs and so she's just so great. And Brianna
Olson Tawana Kwaht, who was a jingle Dress dancer
also performed two beautiful dances. She was and also
talked about her story. .
The theme this year was embraced Equity, which encourages
all to take action towards a more gender equitable world,
where all the differences are valued, celebrated embraced
again. We invited all high school students and we
had, you know mentors from business in the community.
The school trustees are counselors who were able to
attend. . We had
Corum there, so it was a great, well
attended event. And, um so is my hope
that this becomes an even bigger and better events.
Tonight we're going to light the clock tower Purple for
IW Do so Happy International Women's Day and be sure
to embrace equity. .
On behalf of counselor merlot, and I was happy
Holi to everyone who is celebrating the Hindu in the
Hindu community for a memorable holy. I had the
opportunity to visit the Hindu Heritage Center on Monday night,
when you guys were hard at work at planning.
I was supposed to go to run Monday here,
but I have to say, because of the
Swedish event had to attend. I ran out of
time a little bit so it couldn't make it. .
But as you know, Holy is the Hindu festival
of colors celebrated by Hindus all over the world with
great enthusiasm, spreading chalk or colored powders, spreading
messages of love, respect and faith. So extend
our message of to all those celebrating Holi. .
Saturday, March 11th is the three year anniversary of
the National Day of observance of Covid 19 hard to
believe it's been three years since the WH O declared
covid 19 a global pandemic three years. So those
birthdays and those three years, counselor read. They
don't count, right. This was a blip gone.
.
So Dave observance for those who lost their lives,
as well as individuals who continue to deal with the
long term effects of the virus. I know some
folks and also let's extend a big thank you to
all the frontline healthcare workers and those healthcare heroes appeal
Public Health and Trillium health partners for the incredible support
they gave Mississauga and their sacrifice throughout the pandemic. .
Friendly reminder to everyone that you get to turn your
clocks forward on Saturday night because on Sunday, we
will be springing forward for daylight savings time. And
you gain an extra hour of sunlight. Maybe.
And one less extra hour of sleep, , though. .
Also like to take a moment to acknowledge a new
phenomenon. Mississauga Grade four student Mama Thieving off who
broke several world records in her hula hooping skills,
just nine years old Mammoth except three. Guinness World
Records for Hula Hooping. Let's get her in here
so we can pay tribute to her, , please. .
Give a certificate ready for her most hoops while spinning
most hops. Most people hop off, spinning a
hula hoop on one ankle in one minute 110 times
that was one of the records. She broke most
hula hoop rotations around knees while in a dancer pose
in 30 seconds, 62 times and most hula hoop
rotations around knees on in line skates, folks and
30 seconds. . 76 times. .
Let's congratulate this little phenomenon on her achievement and look
forward to meeting her. Let's try to get her

any competition for that, Because I know I'd fall
on my face anyways, onto announcements. Um,
you know, I want to thank the residents of
Jury Road and Caroline Road and and the adjoining roads
off that we had Monday night. What is the
start of a
Residents Association as a great turnout, you know about
50 people showed showing a lot of interest in starting
that, and this comes from a place you know,
as many residents associations have as a place of
challenge, , right? ?
The residents have been facing a number of break ins
and vehicle thefts in the area. And so they
feel very challenged in their community right now, and
they're doing the positive steps that it takes now,
to kind of address that so they've been forming a
neighborhood watch, and now we're onto the next step
of the residents Association. So it was great to
see a number of people willing to step up and
wanting to serve on that association, and I'm really
excited to work with them and bring that forward and
make sure we're putting our best foot forward for that
neighborhood. .
Both addressing the crime issues and you know the other
issues that occur in the neighborhood. .
And wanted to turn that negative into a positive,
So I just wanted to take the time to applaud
them and thank them for coming out. And,
uh And that's why I was missing from PDC because
I had my residence and I need to help him
out. .
So thanks very much. Thank you. Councilor Councilor
Federal

get the time. I know we all work incredibly
hard. .

continue getting older and I very much appreciate the time
to spend with them during the next March break,
and the city has a number of phenomenal events number
of them happening in war, too. If you

Mm.
Surreal read this, whereas the Minister Act 2001 is
amended, requires council passed a motion prior to closing
part of a meeting to the public. And whereas
the act requires that the motion states the act of
the holding of the closed meeting in general nature of
the matter to be considered at the closed meeting now,
therefore be it resolved that a portion of the
General Committee meeting to be held on March 8th 2023
shall be closed to the public to deal with the
