[0:01] waiting for council and the mayor. So I would
[0:03] like to call this meeting to order General Committee for
[0:06] March. 8th 2023 will start with our indigenous land
[0:11] statement. We acknowledge the lands which constitute the present
[0:15] day city of Mississauga as being part of the treaty
[0:18] and traditional territory of the Mississauga of the credit First
[0:21] nation. .
[0:22] Holding the Shoni.
[0:23] Confederacy that here on when dot and Wyandotte nations.
[0:27] We recognize these peoples and their own ancestors as peoples
[0:30] who inhabited these lands Since the time immemorial, the
[0:34] city of Mississauga is home to many global indigenous peoples
[0:38] as a municipality, the city of Mississauga is actively
[0:41] working towards reconciliation by confronting our past. .
[0:44] And our present providing space for the indigenous peoples within
[0:48] their territory to recognize and uphold their treaty rights and
[0:51] to support indigenous peoples. We formally recognize the animals
[0:55] to be origins of our name and continue to make
[0:58] Mississauga a safe place for all indigenous peoples. .
[1:03] Can I have an approval of the agenda this morning,
[1:05] counselor? Temerloh. Thank you all in favor
[1:08] that is carried. Do we have any declarations of
[1:10] conflict of interest? ?
[1:12] Seeing none. Can I have a mover of the
[1:15] minutes of the previous meeting? Councilor Fonseca, Thank
[1:18] you all in favor that is carried
[1:21] Presentations. We do not have any of this morning
[1:24] deputation Zweiri have one on item. 10.1 Mr.
[1:28] Dan Anderson resident
[1:31] Mr Anderson. The floor is yours.
[1:42] Absolutely.
[1:49] Dan Anderson. Good morning to the chair and other
[1:53] council members hope there'll be some flexibility on time,
[1:57] but maybe not necessary primarily as a war to resident
[2:02] I'm here to address Agenda item. 10 1 10.1,
[2:05] in which commissioner writers requesting your approval for the
[2:07] funding of roadway modifications, particularly speed bumps for various
[2:12] words. .
[2:13] The agenda report, however, does not disclose the
[2:16] proposed number of speed bumps for each roadway. .
[2:19] But it should, in the same way that proposed
[2:22] numbers are disclosed for new stop signs and raised crosswalks.
[2:25] The reason is the specifics are important, for
[2:28] example, the specifics and that are in agenda.
[2:30] 10.1 indicate that the funding request is not consistent with
[2:35] the number of speed bumps. . Um
[2:38] That are implied by the voting of word to residents
[2:41] for two roads, Bronze, Grover and or Road.
[2:44] It's unfortunate Counselor schedules. Not here, Um,
[2:48] , slide number seven. .
[2:50] But I sent him a copy of my comments.
[2:53] So
[2:54] I had a time.
[2:55] The, um for Brahms Grove Road.
[3:00] The voting implied.
[3:02] As in this display here is road safety is compromised
[3:06] Option of four speed bumps. .
[3:08] And one additional stop sign.
[3:11] As a related consideration. The illustrated location for these
[3:15] four speed bumps is somewhat problematical and may have distorted
[3:19] the voting. Three speed bumps were placed adjacent to
[3:23] a vacant hydro right of way on the right and
[3:27] the arrows shown suggests relocating one of those to the
[3:30] middle section flanked by homes. .
[3:33] And that should be done in the context of a
[3:34] compromise solution. .
[3:37] The only forced choice option otherwise for residents
[3:41] Who wanted at least one speed bump in that section,
[3:44] where a lot of the homes are was that
[3:47] they were essentially told If you want one, you
[3:50] have to vote for 10 instead of four, so
[3:52] some would have that would have distorted the voting slide
[3:56] number eight for or road. The voting implied the
[4:00] bottom section. .
[4:03] Of the slide, which shows a compromise option of
[4:05] three speed bumps. .
[4:06] And two additional stop signs.
[4:09] As can be seen here. There is a fully
[4:11] fenced industrial section, and the picture at the top
[4:16] makes that more clear, fully fenced industrial section all
[4:19] along the southern side of the road, so no
[4:22] pedestrians cross that road. .
[4:24] And related to this. In a separate 2022 survey
[4:28] provided to interim councilor Pat Mullen. .
[4:31] 80% of all the residents on or a road identified
[4:35] that they wanted only
[4:37] To speed bumps and two additional stop signs.
[4:40] But the only compromise option provided was three speed Watch,
[4:45] , which which isn't materially different. .
[4:48] The top section isn't directly relevant today but shows that
[4:51] prior request last year to obtain funding for 12 speed
[4:55] bumps and asserting that there was 63% support. .
[4:59] But that was because the residents weren't informed about what
[5:03] was being proposed predominantly enough to give that kind of
[5:07] a result, and there was a similar nondisclosure for
[5:10] Bronze Grove Road. .
[5:13] That was partially offset because prior to the end of
[5:15] the voting period, , they discovered did not
[5:18] Non disclosure at least hundreds of people did enough to
[5:22] change what happened. .
[5:24] Now there's two summary video links on slide number two,
[5:27] and they provide further background on what then led
[5:30] to a re vote because of these problems. .
[5:32] For the residents for Brahms girlfriend in Park Royal in
[5:36] general, but these ones were the most materially affected.
[5:40] .
[5:41] Now slide number five.
[5:43] This one helps to clarify the understanding about why the
[5:49] compromise options. .
[5:50] I know that the level of support for the compromise
[5:53] options of four speed bombs since three speed bumps now
[5:57] whether it's for a maximum number of speed bumps.
[5:59] That's what you want, or if you don't want
[6:01] any or anything in between, when none of the
[6:04] options that are available gets more than 50%. .
[6:08] Then the individuals at the extreme.
[6:11] Would reasonably be assumed to take a default to the
[6:14] next closest option. .
[6:16] If you do that, In the case of Bronze
[6:18] Grove, you had end up with 100% of the
[6:21] people who voted supporting the compromise option, not 5100%.
[6:26] .
[6:27] Um with regards to or road there's to compromise options.
[6:31] 62% would take the one with three speed bumps.
[6:34] The question is how that compares with what's in
[6:38] the agenda. 10.1 information provided to you instead of
[6:42] four speed bumps for Brahms Grove. It's saying 10
[6:45] speedboats. .
[6:47] And it's saying there's 56% support.
[6:49] Which makes no sense, and I'll explain how that
[6:52] happened. .
[6:53] Because the support is actually
[6:56] 26% and even that is overstated for our road.
[7:01] The agenda. 10.1 says that
[7:05] Support for six speed bumps. Not three is 61%.
[7:09] . But the facts are
[7:11] That the support is no higher than 30%.
[7:15] Now slide number six.
[7:18] This is a little bit heavy. I hope some
[7:20] people had a chance to review it. First going
[7:22] left to right. The columns are the number of
[7:24] speed bumps. .
[7:26] The number of residents voting percentage voting for the different
[7:30] options. .
[7:32] And you can see 26% that voted for 10 speed
[7:37] bumps. .
[7:38] Not 50 some percent and 30% for six speed bumps.
[7:42] .
[7:43] And then the second last column is the compromise option.
[7:48] And as you can see, the 100% is
[7:49] if as these people at the extremes moved to a
[7:52] compromise position
[7:54] And then the sixth one. We probably don't need
[7:56] to get into it. So what happens if you
[7:58] simply ignore people that don't want speed bumps? ?
[8:02] Now, as noted the percentage support used to justify
[8:05] 10.1. .
[8:06] Relies upon this issue of as you can see the
[8:10] start of the 56% in the 61% of the total
[8:14] in the second quarter and the second box column. .
[8:17] All that represents is the number of people that said
[8:20] yes to traffic coming. However, they define traffic
[8:24] calming. .
[8:26] But
[8:27] But they certainly didn't support what commissioner right is proposing.
[8:31] And that raises a fundamental question. That is.
[8:33] There is a mandate that's been expressed by his
[8:35] operations demonstrated by his operations and demonstrated by the funding
[8:40] request, , And it's this
[8:42] If residents support traffic, calming.
[8:45] Then it is not their business. How many speed
[8:47] bumps we install? I believe they're actually operating without
[8:51] understanding. The question is whether or not collectively Council
[8:54] has given them that as a mandate because it completely
[8:57] contradicts the notion that residents are voting for things. .
[9:01] Assuming that's not the mandate and the agenda. 10.1
[9:04] funding request should be modified. .
[9:06] For those roads and instead reflect the compromise options implied
[9:09] by the voting of residents. Now, all kinds
[9:13] All councilors want to have a good working relationship with
[9:16] commissioner right. .
[9:18] And at the same time they want to demonstrate respect
[9:21] for the views of residents. So for purposes of
[9:24] agenda 10.1 to avoid unnecessarily created an awkward situation for
[9:29] our new war to councilor of intellectual and for other
[9:33] councilors as they prepare to ask questions and decide how
[9:36] to vote on agenda 10.1. .
[9:38] It would be helpful procedurally. If the chair Councilor
[9:42] Mahoney might give commissioner right the opportunity to first identify
[9:47] the council members whether he was receptive to modifying his
[9:50] proposal for those two proposal for those two roadways. .
[9:54] In order in order to be consistent with the voting
[9:56] results. Commissioner right could identify the council members the
[10:01] approximate financial effect of such modifications. I expect it's
[10:03] not very material, , and it's less of anything. .
[10:06] Then all the council members would have the opportunity of
[10:09] being able to simultaneously support commissioner rights request for funding
[10:14] and also respect the vote by war to residents now
[10:18] have modified my intended addendum comments to instead address a
[10:23] specific example with regards to slide nine. .
[10:28] Slide nine is referencing other wards. I'm going to
[10:30] give you an example. And I'm not positive on
[10:32] the details of this at all. But in Ward
[10:35] three, for example, and that came to mind
[10:37] partly because Queen Frederica Street when I looked at what
[10:40] was in the 10.1 agenda, had a very I
[10:43] think was 51% or 53%, , something like that. .
[10:46] So I took that as an example and try to
[10:49] find information, though it's been deleted from the website.
[10:52] .
[10:53] And, um, you may find that there's hundreds
[10:56] of residents are angry about what ends up happening because
[10:59] they don't know what's going to happen similar to what
[11:01] happened in the war to prior to interim councilor Pat
[11:05] Mullen, , arranging for a revote. .
[11:08] The information may not have been disclosed to Ward three
[11:10] residents about what was going on. In the case
[11:13] of Golden Archerd, for example, there's no options.
[11:16] .
[11:17] Provided that suggests that the letter they received did not
[11:21] disclose the number of proposed speed bonds and the Web
[11:24] page link that was provided to them also does not
[11:27] disclose it. . The commentary. . The links
[11:30] The only place that appears in a tab. No
[11:32] reference is made to the tab. So that's what
[11:35] happened in war. Two presidents didn't have a clue
[11:38] what was happening. If you go down the Web
[11:39] page route, it's suggesting there's a survey and it's
[11:43] suggesting that there is going to be a
[11:46] Community meeting, and that's not what happened.
[11:49] So it seems unreasonable for an uninformed group of people
[11:52] to be making a decision may continue for a bit.
[11:55] I would encourage you to wrap up. It
[11:57] has been a full force. Um, presentation in
[11:59] a full 10 minutes. Sounds good, and I
[12:03] don't know of similar concerns apply elsewhere to other awards,
[12:06] But you know, the other things I was
[12:11] going to mention, are things that should be done.
[12:13] .
[12:13] I think there should be explicit provisions for disclosure in
[12:17] the surveys in the funding requests in what's on the
[12:22] website, all kinds of things, and once voting
[12:26] has taken place. Residents should be able to access
[12:28] online versions right now. It's deleted for not for
[12:31] the award to stuff
[12:33] Because cancer Ted, I don't think has come to
[12:36] a settled agreement with the commissioner. .
[12:38] But I think for others have been deleted. And
[12:42] I think that's because of a policy that an agreement
[12:44] between the counselors. Anderson, can you please wrap
[12:47] up, sir? And this is my final point.
[12:49] Other than returning to what I originally asked about
[12:52] war, , too. .
[12:53] I think counselors Karen Ross and others had an agreement.
[12:58] .
[12:58] For council purposes that councilors could not would not oppose
[13:03] whatever they wanted to do with gas tax funds. .
[13:06] At a council meeting regardless of what residents say and
[13:10] I think that's fundamentally wrong for council. Thank you.
[13:13] .
[13:13] Thank you, sir. I will go to the
[13:14] board Councilor Maria
[13:18] I just was curious about one question. Can we
[13:20] just go back to Brahms Grove Road? Your slide
[13:24] on Brahms. . Grover Brahms Grove. . Sure. .
[13:29] Ah, probably true. You just passed it.
[13:31] Yes, , I'm sorry. .
[13:35] Sorry. What was the question? No, not
[13:38] this one, the next one, the next one
[13:40] or wrote
[13:41] Where you had the numbers of people. Oh,
[13:43] sure, sure. There. These are all I
[13:46] wanna do. Clarify was when you come to 56%.
[13:50] There's no double counting right? So we don't
[13:52] have
[13:53] In the 26% people who are
[13:57] Because people who want 10 presumably also good with four,
[14:01] so all I wanted to make sure was there
[14:03] is no double count. I just agree with that.
[14:05] I'm just asking staff, though. Is there
[14:07] any double counting or there is no double counting. .
[14:11] Three chairman Tony the counselor, Djamila So as an
[14:15] example, counselor in terms of Bronze Cove. The
[14:17] way the survey was set up is that it initially
[14:20] opens up with a broad question. Do you support
[14:24] traffic coming in your neighborhood? And it's almost like
[14:27] a yes no kind of response. And as an
[14:30] example in that 1 56% of the respondents said,
[14:33] Yes, , we support traffic, , calming. .
[14:35] So then that that group of people then goes on
[14:37] to the next phase of the survey, which then
[14:39] presents a few options for them to vote on. .
[14:42] And then what staff do is compiled the results of
[14:44] that vote, and in the in the example of
[14:47] bonds Grove, it was option one that received the
[14:49] most support from the people that supported traffic coming. .
[14:53] And then we take that information. And then we
[14:55] work with the ward councilor to lay that out and
[14:57] then to come up with a plan for traffic coming
[15:00] for that neighborhood, So that's really in general how
[15:03] that process worked. So just so I understand because
[15:06] I did a similar one on Paisley. But I
[15:08] think we did a little bit differently. As I
[15:10] just want to understand our 56% of the people who
[15:14] live on that street wants some kind of speed bumps,
[15:17] not traffic coming, but speed bumps. Would
[15:20] that be correct? ?
[15:21] So out of the amount of responding So an example
[15:26] on bonds. Grove 205 households completed the survey.
[15:30] So that's not saying everyone completed the survey. And
[15:32] of those respondents, 56% said, yes to traffic
[15:36] calming. .
[15:37] But what percentage of the streets said Yes to traffic
[15:40] coming. We typically don't measure the overall we only
[15:44] go with the response rate. So the people that
[15:47] so people that don't respond at all Don't get counted
[15:50] into the response. So it's either so that we
[15:52] get the responses back. So we surveyed the whole
[15:54] street. Right this case. We got 205 households
[15:58] and out of that response. We then take that
[16:00] percentage. Fair enough. 56% of the 206 wanted
[16:04] speed bumps, not traffic coming. That's what I'm
[16:06] trying to understand. .
[16:07] So that it was because what we're proposing is not
[16:10] just speed bumps. There is a mix of stop
[16:12] signs raised raised. .
[16:14] Pedestrian crossings and speed traffic calming. So the question
[16:17] was broad. Is it do you support traffic coming
[16:19] on your street? And then if the answer was
[16:21] Yes, then the detail goes in and sort of
[16:24] the next part of the survey, which was option
[16:26] one or option two. And then we looked at
[16:28] the response from that part of the survey to come
[16:30] back to the council and present that information and work
[16:33] towards a plan. . So it is possible that
[16:38] Of the 206. Not a majority want speed bumps,
[16:42] but they're okay with other parts of speed traffic
[16:45] coming right, But we haven't drilled down to because
[16:48] speed bumps tend to be very divisive. And it's
[16:50] of course, up to individual ward councilors. What
[16:53] I know Councilor Mahoney had one where 100% of the
[16:56] street wanted the speed bumps until they didn't want them.
[17:00] So and I have had the same issue on
[17:03] Paisley where you do surveys and then people wake up
[17:05] later. So it is something I mean, it's
[17:07] an interesting point. .
[17:08] And at what point do you say?
[17:10] It's warranted technically. So it's a safety issue versus
[17:14] do people wanted on their streets. . So I
[17:17] I'm still not clear, though. Looks like we
[17:20] don't have a number for speed bumps. We have
[17:23] a number for traffic, calming and a buffet or
[17:27] menu of items that people are saying yes, but
[17:29] the most contentious ones tend to be speed bumps.
[17:32] So maybe going forward. We need to look at
[17:35] that. Thank you. Thank you, Councilor Councilor
[17:38] Fonseca. .
[17:39] Thank you, Hugh chair, no questions to the
[17:42] delegate or two staff, but since War three was
[17:45] named, I just want to make it very clear.
[17:49] . Um, , that
[17:52] In all the instances in Ward three where there has
[17:55] been a request from residents in the community for traffic,
[17:59] , calming, , Um, , I have
[18:04] Went through a process with the residents in the community.
[18:09] .
[18:10] And with staff.
[18:12] To have a very, very fulsome understanding. Uh
[18:18] and, , um
[18:20] Study of the the roadway where the residents in that
[18:26] neighborhood
[18:28] Have inquired about traffic coming calming, including speed bumps,
[18:35] and that has included not only the initial,
[18:41] um communication out to the community, which goes through
[18:46] through, , um, , staff
[18:49] Ah, along with multiple multiple community meetings, Um,
[18:56] virtual in person down to the point where I
[19:01] have, , actually, , uh
[19:04] Divided the sections of the road into three or four
[19:09] parts. . Uh and had, , um
[19:14] In some cases along about beaches as an example,
[19:17] that roadway is almost three kilometers long. I put
[19:21] out I think over 9000 letters I had, , uh
[19:28] Perhaps 10 community meetings. Uh and then I also
[19:33] engaged the Rockwood Homeowners Association. . Ah, ,
[19:38] In particular to that neighborhood and in further further study
[19:44] of the roadway, So just to be clear because
[19:49] you said in your remarks that the community was not
[19:52] engaged in more three, sure making, making it
[19:55] clear that in all because you reference Ward three. .
[20:00] I just wanted to make it clear that in all
[20:03] the cases ah in, uh in Ward three,
[20:07] where the request has come from the community for some
[20:13] form of traffic coming to be put on the roadway,
[20:16] , I have ensured and exhausted. .
[20:19] Pretty much all avenues with regards to communicating, uh,
[20:24] to the community about the traffic coming and at
[20:27] the end of the day
[20:29] We have to make a decision at some point as
[20:31] to whether or not um
[20:33] The technical experts and the proposal that is being put
[20:36] in place is going to be right for that roadway.
[20:39] . But I did want to clarify. . Ah
[20:43] Factually that I have had many meetings. And if
[20:46] you would like the details of that you can contact
[20:48] my office. Thank you very much, Mr.
[20:51] Anderson. This isn't a debate. I think you've
[20:54] been given your 10 minutes. I'd like to just
[20:55] go through the council so they can do that.
[20:57] And I think you understand, clarify One part give
[21:01] you 10 minutes to to to do it, And
[21:04] this is an opportunity for council. We're not going
[21:06] back and forth debate. We're trying to address the
[21:09] The issues in like councilor speak as you were given
[21:11] the opportunity Counselor Parish. .
[21:15] Yes. I haven't had any bad experiences like you
[21:18] were. Everybody wanted them, Then nobody wanted them.
[21:20] I'm just curious. Um, we used to
[21:23] have temporary ones that you could throw across the road
[21:26] and see if people want to change their minds.
[21:29] Do we still have those? ?
[21:31] Three Mr Charity Counselor Parish we had We don't use
[21:34] them as much anymore. But they were when we
[21:36] first started getting into the business of traffic coming now
[21:38] that there are quite a few within the city,
[21:41] it's easier for us to demonstrate Go to the street,
[21:43] and you can see the insulation that's in place.
[21:45] So we try and get out of the amount
[21:47] of labor that's involved in installation and then removing it
[21:50] later on. We tend not to use the temporary
[21:53] ones as much, but it is. It is
[21:54] an available option. I just wanted to know that.
[21:56] . Thank you. .
[21:57] Thank you, Councilor just for clarification. I did
[22:00] have one that had 100% in them when they were
[22:02] put in something like them. It's the unintended consequences
[22:04] As we deal with and quite a regular basis.
[22:06] Councilor Hong Thank you through the chair, and I
[22:11] want to thank the resident for coming in today and
[22:13] sharing his concerns. We've spoken a number of times
[22:17] about this did want to apologize for being late.
[22:20] We were at the International Women's Day event, and
[22:23] I was
[22:23] Speaking with the number of residents, students from Clark's
[22:26] in high school and Lauren Park High School who are
[22:28] very engaged and amazing young women who want to be
[22:33] involved in our city, and actually, we're talking
[22:35] about some of the challenges of of speeding and safety
[22:39] issues along Brahms Grove and Lauren Park Road, which
[22:43] we have a number of measures there. .
[22:45] Um, I do acknowledge that I think it is
[22:49] something that has come up quite a bit in the
[22:51] in the in the ward. I know. Previous
[22:54] counselors have emphasized this and I think it's appropriate.
[22:59] It's our Vision zero mission to prevent these incidents from
[23:05] happening in our communities. .
[23:07] And we know for the most part. It is
[23:09] our own residents and neighbors who are who are facing
[23:12] these problems, and there are the ones who are
[23:14] likely also facing the consequences for speeding. .
[23:20] We will be debating this later. And so I'm
[23:22] happy to engage further on traffic coming in general,
[23:25] when we're when we get to the to the item
[23:28] on the agenda. I do want to acknowledge that
[23:31] it is just where the chair said it is not
[23:34] just not really a back and forth debate here,
[23:36] but, um, that you do have a legitimate
[23:40] point. . In acknowledging that there are residents who are
[23:43] Um, not in favor that we should consider as
[23:47] part of the mathematics around, Um, numbers and
[23:51] the types of traffic coming that we do employ,
[23:54] but I think we've learned a lot and I think
[23:57] the department has done a good job of receiving that
[24:01] feedback and calculating what would be appropriate. .
[24:06] Measures moving forward. Not every calming measure is a
[24:09] speed bump. Not every solution is a bollard and
[24:13] you know there are road diets. There's so many
[24:15] tools that we have in our toolbox that I know
[24:17] the city staff are eerily exploring, and I look
[24:22] forward to, uh to them continuing to do that,
[24:25] , in this instance in our area. .
[24:27] Um, chair I'm happy to move my residence deputation.
[24:31] .
[24:32] Thank you, Councilor Ted Joe and very well said,
[24:35] and I think we all do agree. It's
[24:37] not a perfect science or an easy solution. We
[24:39] do try to communicate as best as we possibly can.
[24:41] With residents to gauge supporter or non support.
[24:45] I will just speak as I do have one on
[24:48] this 10.1 as well in Ward eight that I have
[24:51] engaged with the residents and another one that I got
[24:53] 100% support from from the residents and have had some
[24:56] public meetings and consultations so
[24:59] I certainly appreciate you coming forward, Mr Anderson and
[25:02] welcome to stick around when 10.1 comes forward and listen
[25:05] to the debate, So the deputy and his moved
[25:07] by councilor to go all in favor. .
[25:09] That is carried. Thank you.
[25:13] Moving on to public question. Period. Madam clerk.
[25:16] . Do we have a
[25:19] On the same subject matter. We have Athena Tag
[25:22] ado from more three Athena's online. Okay, thank
[25:25] you. I will read the blurb here for public
[25:28] question. Period pursuant to section 58 of the Council
[25:31] procedure by law. 0044-20 to two as amended General
[25:37] Committee may grant permission to remember of the public to
[25:39] ask a question of General Committee with the following provisions
[25:42] one. .
[25:43] Questions may be submitted to the clerk at least 24
[25:46] hours prior to the meeting. .
[25:48] To a person is limited to two questions and much
[25:51] must pertain specific items on the current agenda, and
[25:54] the speaker will state which item the question is related
[25:57] to
[25:58] Three. The total speaking time shall be five minutes
[26:01] maximum per speaker unless extended by the mayor or the
[26:04] chair and for any response, not provided at the
[26:08] meeting will be provided in the format of a written
[26:12] I ran out of room here.
[26:19] 12. I think you get the gist. My
[26:23] page cut off. So response. Thank you.
[26:27] I don't have response in my by the Chanda. .
[26:30] Um, is the resident online?
[26:34] Okay? Yes, I am. Good morning.
[26:36] Good morning. .
[26:38] Yes, Before I begin, I would like to
[26:40] clarify counter Fonseca's comments with respect to Ward three.
[26:44] She did respectfully count to everyone. It counts with
[26:49] reference to the Rockwood area and two about beaches.
[26:52] And today I
[26:54] I will be addressing the Applewood Heights area of war,
[26:58] three of which the three streets are noted in
[27:01] today's traffic Common report, So the sees that the
[27:05] questions please survey results of respondents for Constitution at 53%
[27:11] and Queen Federica at 51% are very close difference between
[27:15] respondents who are in favor. .
[27:17] Of and who oppose this traffic comic proposal and with
[27:21] the undecided respondents, the actual percentage differences even less.
[27:25] .
[27:26] For Constitution Boulevard from the 100 responded to this combined
[27:31] survey with Queen Federica. The difference between yesterday.
[27:34] No around the side is only six people for Queen
[27:38] Federica from the 100 respondents again to the combined service
[27:41] with constitution. The difference is only two respondents.
[27:45] The question of why the online survey for these two
[27:47] roadways was combined on one survey has been asked city
[27:51] staff and waiting for their response. .
[27:53] It is requested that because of the small differences in
[27:56] respondents and which are not most of the community as
[28:00] well as the fact that the city survey was combined
[28:02] for both Constitution and Queen Federica during the summer months
[28:06] of July and August, only better review be taken
[28:09] to reconsider the traffic kami speed humps for these two
[28:12] streets before any staff recommendation is made. The question
[28:16] is, can the roadways of Queer Constitution Boulevard and
[28:19] Queen Federica not included in today's recommendation for approval? ?
[28:23] All due to the very close results and the results
[28:26] for additional consideration by city staff for community feedback be
[28:30] made. .
[28:32] Question number two for the Golden Orchard traffic calming proposal
[28:36] from floor Street to Dixie. The total responders were
[28:39] 27 from this 18 in favor and nine opposing the
[28:44] speed up placement for this area. There were issues
[28:48] of delays in postal delivery this past year, and
[28:51] there are residents who have both on and off quote
[28:53] an orchard who would be impacted and who did not
[28:56] know about this plan nor able to successfully complete the
[28:59] online survey. . These may be the reason
[29:02] As as to the low responsible. Only 27 completed
[29:05] surveys from that community for this proposal. .
[29:09] And the question is considering the above local issues.
[29:12] Can the Golden Orchard proposal from floor to Dixie not
[29:16] be included in today's recommendation? And because we considered
[29:19] what request for feedback from this community, both in
[29:23] paper and all my surveys be made available to residents
[29:26] who live on and off court an orchard before any
[29:29] decisions are recommended on how to proceed. And please
[29:33] just add after hearing the deputation by resident Don Anderson
[29:37] on traffic, , calming for all road
[29:39] It appears that similar concerns are shared by residents and
[29:42] other wards were results, as provided in today's traffic
[29:45] Common report show 60 about 61%, or less higher
[29:51] standard of approval is needed for proposed roadways to be
[29:54] recommended, as are for other roadways presented in today's
[29:57] report of 80% or higher the same measure, or
[30:01] at least approval from a minimum of 75% of respondents
[30:05] is requested to be used for all
[30:07] Traffic calming world with recommendations that are being considered as
[30:11] well. More direct information to the community is needed,
[30:15] as well as attention to timing and availability of
[30:17] surveys and how survey questions are addressed. And simply
[30:21] to add that there were no community meetings whatsoever held
[30:25] for these particular three world ways in that war,
[30:28] three in the applewood area. Thank you very much,
[30:31] , and I look forward to the responses. .
[30:35] Thank you.
[30:37] Very much for your, um deputation counselor. Fonseca
[30:42] to thank you through you chair. Perhaps we should
[30:46] just move 10.1 forward. .
[30:49] Seeing what I was. We're having discussions or no,
[30:51] I'm happy to if it's the will a council
[30:53] as everybody Okay with moving 10.1 forward in favor,
[30:57] okay, it has moved forward and we can discuss
[30:59] 10.1 now. .
[31:00] Okay? And I guess with regards to the questions
[31:05] that Athena raised, they were to staff. So
[31:09] if staff can clarify the those questions, and then
[31:12] I have a couple of follow up questions. .
[31:17] Three, Mr Chaired a council for Sega and ask
[31:18] Colin Patterson to come forward to give more detail about
[31:21] the surveys. But in general counselor the surveys as
[31:23] you're aware, we're follow our traditional process. And
[31:26] I think the deputy and raised questions in terms of
[31:29] the percentage of overall support, and that's something that
[31:33] outlined in the report today is we are recommending traffic,
[31:37] , calming. .
[31:37] To a counselor to Joe's point, really around the
[31:39] notion of vision zero and road safety, So that's
[31:41] our primary function is that the councilor Ward Councilor is
[31:44] aware and staff everywhere of concerns that have come forward
[31:47] with speeding in these neighborhoods and in absence of redesigning
[31:51] the whole street traffic calming is is an easy approach
[31:53] for us to retrofit a street to slow vehicles down
[31:57] and to provide a safer environment. So that's our
[31:59] overall objective. Responding to our direction around Vision zero
[32:03] and so, with our survey responses, we are
[32:05] looking for support for traffic coming from the
[32:07] Unity.
[32:08] It was raised earlier that these are sometimes every you
[32:13] know, after the traffic coming device goes in.
[32:15] There is feedback that some people don't like it there.
[32:18] Dr is disrupted, But that is the intention
[32:21] is that people don't have the same access to the
[32:23] street. They did in terms of being able to
[32:25] speed or go at the speed that they desire.
[32:27] So we are looking for support from the community and
[32:30] we're open. .
[32:31] And wish to be transparent in our process, and
[32:33] hence, the report today outlines all of the streets
[32:36] that were recommending traffic calming be installed on so with
[32:40] that, Mr Chair. I think I'll turn it
[32:41] over to college talk more specifics about the survey in
[32:44] that area. .
[32:46] Good morning through the chair to cancel Fonseca with respect
[32:50] to why we combine multiple roadways into one survey.
[32:55] The simple answer is often we want to receive feedback
[32:58] from the same group of residents on the on both
[33:00] projects. So in the case of Constitution and Queen
[33:03] Fredricka, , the same neighborhood residents are asked. .
[33:07] Both questions whether they support traffic coming on Constitution and
[33:11] Queen Frederica, and that is in the case of
[33:13] that survey. It was, I believe the entire
[33:17] neighborhood, not just the residents that were on that
[33:19] street, so there's often a much different opinion,
[33:23] depending on where that response comes from the residents who
[33:25] live on these roadways who are dealing with the consistent
[33:29] speeding concerns and aggressive driving. .
[33:31] Are often a little bit more supportive than some residents
[33:34] that may live elsewhere in the neighborhood and don't have
[33:36] to deal with the the, uh, driving behavior
[33:41] on those roadways. With respect to the timing of
[33:44] those surveys they were issued. I believe late spring
[33:48] and carried on into the summer. I believe both
[33:52] surveys were extended for that reason to make sure that
[33:55] we accommodated any and all feedback that we could receive
[33:59] from the public. . So
[34:01] Even after those surveys, the date closes. We
[34:05] will not discount any feedback that's received, if if,
[34:08] at any point in time, residents of those
[34:11] neighborhoods want to provide feedback. We will collect that
[34:14] in summarize, and it would be reflected in the
[34:17] numbers in the report. .
[34:18] I should also clarify that all of the information related
[34:23] to the quantity of devices proposed types the locations it's
[34:28] always posted on the city's website for anyone who has
[34:31] questions about what exactly is being proposed, and where
[34:34] that might be. .
[34:38] Councilor for the secret Anything further, So that was
[34:42] one of my questions with regards to the posting of
[34:44] the actual Ah
[34:47] Proposed design.
[34:49] Of of traffic calming. Ah, you answered that
[34:54] and just to clarify with regards to Queen Fredricka Constitution
[34:59] and this leg of Golden Orchard. .
[35:04] The first step in the process is
[35:06] For when, when a when a request or a
[35:09] concern comes from residents is to is for staff to
[35:14] go out and US speed study on the roadway and
[35:19] the first recommendations are always around. Pass it passive
[35:25] traffic calming, , are they not? ?
[35:28] Yes or no? Are they passive? Yes.
[35:31] Our digital boards also recommended yes. Is there also
[35:37] often engagement or requests for police to be out to,
[35:44] Um um, study or collaborate with the residents?
[35:48] ?
[35:48] Ah ah, ah, and city staff on the
[35:51] particular roadway to try to address or
[35:56] Get down to what the real issues are with motors
[35:59] behavior. .
[35:59] Yes. And were these done? I know the
[36:03] answer to this. But for the public where these
[36:06] done on Queen Frederica Constitution and this leg of Golden
[36:10] Orchard, Yes. Okay. Thank you very much.
[36:13] Thank you, Mr Chair. Thank you.
[36:14] Councilor Fonseca counseled Asco. .
[36:18] Thank you through the chair, and I just wanted
[36:20] to speak actually to the report itself, and I
[36:23] know just in terms of the way that it came
[36:26] forward. . It's one that I know that are
[36:31] Our team at the city. It's talk about challenging
[36:36] role that they're in. It's trying to find that
[36:38] right mix of finding road safety at the same time
[36:43] as allowing traffic to pass etcetera literally trying to make
[36:48] everybody happy and in an imperfect world, and it's
[36:51] it's a real challenge definitely know that we see a
[36:53] lot of it Safety committee. .
[36:56] And also each of our offices.
[36:59] Bar. Nana get an awful lot of calls.
[37:02] I know that you know, from from the mayor's
[37:04] office all the way through all of us and coming
[37:07] up with these different things, so I just would
[37:10] like to speak on behalf of
[37:13] The work that's gone into this. It's it's never
[37:16] taken lightly. I always know that when it comes
[37:19] to our team
[37:21] They're always saying that Let's try every other measure before
[37:24] you go and get into that because it's such a
[37:26] blunt instrument that that gets prescribed, , but
[37:31] You know, it's also one that was as counselors.
[37:34] We tend to know our communities pretty well because
[37:37] we're engaging with them all the time. And these
[37:39] are things that we do here and so
[37:42] You know the work that's gone into this report.
[37:45] I know for the streets and Ward one. I
[37:47] wanted to say a profound thank you for that. .
[37:51] Um, in terms of the work that has gone
[37:52] in the survey results, I think also speak for
[37:57] themselves in terms of what goes in, but you
[38:00] know it's again imperfect, but at the same time,
[38:03] if quite frankly, if everybody was doing the
[38:06] speed limit
[38:07] We wouldn't be going through all this and to begin
[38:09] with, but unfortunately, that's just not the case
[38:13] and a few people that I think we all probably
[38:15] have saying, Why would you want to do this?
[38:18] And they tend to be the worst offenders because
[38:20] they just don't want to have these types of measures
[38:21] in place. So at the appropriate time, myself
[38:25] or whoever would move it, I'm I'm happy that
[38:29] this is coming forward and that we're looking to get
[38:31] this done in the spring season ahead. .
[38:34] I just wanted to say thanks to staff for all
[38:36] your work on this. Thank you. Councilor,
[38:39] disco counselor. .
[38:41] Thank you through the chair.
[38:44] This is we have some of us knew folks here.
[38:48] We've only been here 16 weeks now. 15
[38:51] weeks. . I think we're in
[38:52] And we haven't had a lot of opportunity to talk
[38:55] about some of these issues. I want to take
[38:57] a minute to really
[38:59] Reaffirm our position, at least as a council and
[39:03] for a number of new folks that we do believe
[39:07] in the in the Vision, zero mandate and policy
[39:09] of the city. .
[39:10] Um, because at the end of the day,
[39:12] we're talking about the lives and well being of our
[39:15] residents, and it's completely preventable based on the actions
[39:21] of our city and of its residents. .
[39:24] And
[39:25] The question that we're asking is how much are we
[39:27] willing to be inconvenienced? ?
[39:29] To protect those people. Certainly there are accidents that
[39:32] are at the fault of cyclists or pedestrians, and
[39:36] we need better education all around. .
[39:39] But a quick look at the stats from the region
[39:41] of peal shows that there were 327 deaths from collisions
[39:46] in the last decade. . 17 cyclists 113 pedestrians. .
[39:51] And then you look at the studies around traffic,
[39:54] calming and approximate pedestrian survival rate. .
[39:58] And I'll tell you, my partner. She's
[40:02] Mhm better than me and so many ways and works
[40:06] at sick kids emergency
[40:08] And she will tell you their kid that shows up
[40:10] at 30 kilometers an hour is going to make it
[40:12] kid that gets hit at 40. Kilometers an hour
[40:14] has a 60% chance. The kid that gets hit
[40:17] at 50, kilometers an hour has a 20% chance
[40:20] of survival. .
[40:22] And they know that they know that coming in.
[40:24] They know that coming into the emergency room that this
[40:26] kid got hit by a car at 50 kilometers an
[40:28] hour, which is easily where most people drive in
[40:30] this city in residential neighborhoods. .
[40:32] Is not going to make it.
[40:35] So is that so inconvenient for us to slow down
[40:39] that we think that this is something that we need
[40:41] to we need to look past. . So
[40:44] That's where I'm coming from. I've got young kids.
[40:46] They're 8, 10 and 12 and certainly they
[40:48] need to be more responsible in terms of how they
[40:50] cross the street. .
[40:51] And how they interact in their neighborhoods. And we
[40:54] are trying to make safer neighborhoods. But at the
[40:56] end of the day, sometimes a government um an
[41:00] agency, whatever it is needs to come in and
[41:02] say We need to wear seatbelts. We need to
[41:04] impose traffic coming. We need to have a red
[41:07] light cameras. We need to do these things for
[41:09] the safety of our community, and they're not always
[41:12] popular. .
[41:12] But sometimes that's what we need to do.
[41:15] And we're trying to find the best ways possible to
[41:18] move forward so that we get buying from residents and
[41:21] buying from the community to understand that we're doing this
[41:23] as part of our priorities. If this is no
[41:26] longer a priority, and we don't want to do
[41:27] that, then we should debate that we should talk
[41:29] about how we're willing to sacrifice. You know those
[41:32] lives and those accidents because it's their own fault and
[41:35] that they should be more careful when they're crossing the
[41:37] street. .
[41:38] But the inconvenience of having to slow down is just
[41:40] too much for us to bear for that, If
[41:42] that's the debate that people want to have that I'm
[41:44] happy to have that, But I don't think that
[41:47] what the city is trying to do is in any
[41:50] way inappropriate and that they have learned quite a bit
[41:53] in terms of what is and is not a useful
[41:55] tool, and not every tool has to be a
[41:57] speed bump. There are bollards. There are road
[41:59] diets, , there are protected bike lanes. .
[42:02] There are so many things that I like in my
[42:04] neighborhood to where we have raised crosswalks in front of
[42:06] schools, and this is an ongoing discussion. This
[42:10] isn't the end of the beyond. And all of
[42:12] traffic coming. This is how are we going to
[42:14] continue to progress to find solutions to try and make
[42:18] our roads as safe as possible? ?
[42:20] I think this is entirely appropriate action for us to
[42:24] take and for this council to endorse for our staff
[42:27] who are consulting who are learning who are working with
[42:30] experts to see what we can do in order to
[42:32] reduce that because we look at the stats
[42:36] And you think about all these people? There's there's
[42:38] There's families behind these behind these stories and
[42:42] You know, I wish we had an opportunity to
[42:44] mark every single time Somebody passed away because of an
[42:47] accident on the road. But not just that.
[42:49] We have to think about all the accidents that don't
[42:52] need to road dust as well. That don't lead
[42:53] to fatalities. How many times are people getting maimed
[42:56] and hit and they're injured? And then they have
[42:59] years of recovery or permanently disabled. Because of that,
[43:02] it's not just about the death is about how
[43:04] are we making a safer, more sustainable, walkable
[43:07] neighborhood everywhere and the fact that we have to retrofit
[43:09] our city because our city wasn't built for that? ?
[43:12] Is something that we're looking at right now. And
[43:14] I think that's the courage that our council is taking
[43:17] in order to do that that we've taken in the
[43:18] past that we should continue to pursue moving forward.
[43:21] Thank you. . Chair. .
[43:23] Thank you, Councilor Federal and that was very,
[43:26] very well said, and I really don't have anything
[43:28] to add. So I appreciate you bringing that to
[43:31] everybody's attention. And that's really some of the tough
[43:33] decisions and the reason that we move forward with a
[43:35] lot of these initiatives. So I certainly appreciate your
[43:39] comments. I do not have anybody else on the

[48:32] We need a new for
[48:35] Councilor Hornet moved it.
[48:41] Okay. Thank you, folks. That's unanimous down
[48:43] to 10.3 my way. . 2024 bus procurement counselor. .
[48:49] Thank you through the chair to commissioner, right?
[48:52] No issue with what we're talking about here. I
[48:54] think this is obviously what we need to update the
[48:58] service and to improve our fleet as we're moving forward.
[49:03] I do want to ask a couple questions in
[49:05] terms of our these, um, done with the
[49:08] intent of future proofing our fleet with the right equipment
[49:16] Are we looking at? Is it all the things
[49:18] that we've looked at? ? A few weeks? ?
[49:19] Ago when we were there.
[49:21] And is there an opportunity to really imagine the future
[49:26] needs that the service will need in terms of,
[49:30] um, you know, expanded capacity. The cameras.
[49:34] We were talking about the display boards, things
[49:36] like that, and then I also want to ask
[49:38] a little bit about maybe the opportunity to revisit the
[49:43] hydrogen. .
[49:43] Um, pilot that we were exploring before understanding that
[49:48] we did not have a provincial partner come to the
[49:51] table, but the federals partner did come to the
[49:53] table and that, you know, not withstanding this
[49:57] particular motion. If that's something we could potentially reopened
[50:01] to explore, what would it cost for us to
[50:03] meet him? ?
[50:05] That pilot need without necessarily getting that provincial funding and
[50:09] could go back to the to the feds to ask
[50:11] for more as well because I think that that's worth
[50:13] doing and worth exploring, especially as we're going to
[50:16] continue to expand the fleet over at my way,
[50:19] and assuming this again is just for existing service,
[50:22] and not for necessarily expanded service. .
[50:25] Three Mr Chair to Councilor Ted Hose. So yes,
[50:28] Counselor. You're right. This is our fleet
[50:30] replacement plan that outlined and through the program. There
[50:34] was an opportunity for us to fast track our fleet
[50:36] replacement program And at the time we submitted for Ah
[50:42] hybrid electric Busses, and that's what's being procured for
[50:46] 2024 bus order. So there's 82 hybrid electric Busses
[50:50] very similar to the bus that you are on the
[50:52] other day. In fact, that's one of that
[50:53] was one of their newest Busses that arrive from the
[50:56] Last procurement.
[50:57] So it will be very similar in nature. And
[50:59] obviously, this would go through public tender process.
[51:02] The actual bus manufacturer at this point is not determined,
[51:04] but the general features that you saw on the
[51:06] bus in terms of you know, the state of
[51:08] the art municipal Transit bus. That's what we would
[51:10] be procuring with this. .
[51:12] I would just kind of note that as we we
[51:14] are moving forward with our transition to to net zero
[51:19] Bus fleet, And so this is part of our
[51:21] journey. This is aligned with our climate change goals
[51:24] and hits our targets as an organization with the 2025
[51:28] bus order. We should be in a position to
[51:30] start to procure battery electric Busses. And so I
[51:33] would suspect next year when we come back with the
[51:35] 2025 bus procurement. .
[51:37] Um, will be in better shape because we will
[51:39] have charging capacity and some some charging capacity available at
[51:44] our seven IQ location that we toured a few weeks
[51:47] ago, so that would be a sort of our
[51:49] first step into the the Battery Electric bus determined phase.
[51:53] .
[51:54] Your comment around the hydrogen pilot? Yeah, that
[51:58] is something that we were quite optimistic for. You
[52:01] know, hydrogen as a net zero bus is seen
[52:05] as a valid uh, product for my way in
[52:08] terms of its range battery electric Busses while they are
[52:11] improving, have range issues, especially on the type
[52:16] of charging that's done. So if there's a depot
[52:18] charging that's done overnight, the bus can go out
[52:21] for a certain amount of time. But that's dictated
[52:23] by the life of the bad. .
[52:24] Marie and the duty cycle of the bus has to
[52:26] come back to get charged. .
[52:28] It does add a layer of complexity to our route
[52:30] and schedule planning for my way. .
[52:33] Whereas the hydrogen bus has a much longer range and
[52:36] can almost align with our traditional way of scheduling those
[52:39] Busses. So you know, we did provide counsel
[52:43] sort of just a quick email memo update saying Here's
[52:45] the status of that program would be happy to sort
[52:47] of maybe bring back a report and have a more
[52:49] fulsome conversation here about the hydrogen project, the benefits
[52:54] that it does provide for my way. .
[52:57] And where some of those gaps are potentially how those
[52:59] gaps could get filled. So we'd be happy to
[53:00] bring back a report on on that. Thank you.
[53:03] Commissioner yesterday was fortunate to be at the TRC
[53:06] a project green over at the airport, and they're
[53:10] working on their fleet as well in terms of hydrogen,
[53:14] and I think there's an opportunity there. This
[53:18] just another quick question. Commissioner around the old Busses
[53:21] were replacing. These are all just diesel only Busses.
[53:24] . I'm assuming
[53:25] And if we did need to still use them to
[53:27] expand existing services is that possible. .
[53:30] Three. Mr Charity counselor Ted Hose. So,
[53:32] yes, So the replacement Our staff from Fleet is
[53:36] here. Daryn riding their senior manager and his team
[53:38] that we can comment more about the status of our
[53:40] fleet. But these are replacement Busses, and the
[53:43] Busses that are being replaced are at the end of
[53:45] their useful life. And so they need to be
[53:47] retired. And they would go through a plan to
[53:51] get rid of those Busses and and bring on these
[53:53] new Busses. So we're spending quite a bit on
[53:56] maintenance of those older Busses and it would be it's
[53:59] time that they reach the end of the relation. .
[54:01] All right. Thank you. Thank you. Councilor
[54:03] Councilor Hornick. Thank you very much. Mr Chair.
[54:06] Yeah, and Commissioner, right. I mean,
[54:07] I know we've talked lately about the need for
[54:09] a new bus depot that we're going to have coming
[54:11] up in the near future. I just wanted to
[54:13] have that opportunity to express maybe again about that project
[54:16] and the need from our higher levels of government to
[54:18] support that if you have a moment to speak to
[54:19] that, , sure. .
[54:21] Through Mr Chair to Councilor Hornick, as outlined in
[54:24] the housing plan recently. We did kind of flag,
[54:27] the the improvements that my way needs to make
[54:31] in order to move more people around the city that
[54:34] could result of as a result of that housing plan.
[54:37] And so we did flag within that a new
[54:39] electric transit gradient northwest Mississauga. .
[54:42] And as our we're kind of at the point now,
[54:45] where in order to substantially grow our freedom to
[54:47] continue to invest in my we do need to make
[54:50] that investment in new maintenance facilities and and to support
[54:53] our transition to a net zero fleet. We need
[54:57] to construct a electric transit garage that would primarily be
[55:01] for electric Busses, , and that would allow us to
[55:04] Grow and expand into a net zero transit fleet and
[55:08] then come back and make retrofits to our existing transit
[55:11] facilities to allow them to operate in this sort of
[55:14] hybrid environment where you still need diesel fuel, But
[55:18] you also need to have electric charges on site as
[55:20] well. So it is part of our overall strategy
[55:23] and overall growth program. It is an expensive asset
[55:27] to build. You know, we did put a
[55:29] very rough number of about $500 million on that facility.
[55:32] .
[55:32] Which in my experience, seeing some recent tenders across
[55:36] the country coming in for similar types of facilities were
[55:39] not too far off the range on that. So
[55:41] it is a significant ask within our capital program and
[55:44] one that we are going to need federal and provincial
[55:46] support in achieving this transition to a net zero Transit
[55:50] fleet, and I would just note that it's not
[55:53] just Mississauga that's in this position. All fleets across
[55:55] the country are in the same position where
[55:58] You know they have traditional diesel Busses now moving into
[56:03] hybrid diesel electric. Ultimately, battery, electric or
[56:06] hydrogen, and all these transit organizations are going to
[56:09] need to make those similar investments in their transit fleet.
[56:12] So it is an ask that I know as
[56:14] an organization, the Canadian Urban Transit Association in the
[56:17] Ontario Public Transit Association is raising awareness on and the
[56:21] continued need to invest in facilities to support
[56:24] Public transit transition to a net zero fleet.
[56:28] Thank you so much. Commissioner. I think it's
[56:29] just important that you know when we have these big
[56:31] asks, we take that opportunity to remind the public
[56:33] who watch that we do have these big things out
[56:36] there and it's great that you know, a new
[56:37] facility will be able to position ourselves for those better
[56:40] power sources that are more net zero Beit Hydrogen Electric,
[56:43] etcetera. So thank you very much, and
[56:45] I'll make sure we keep this on the agenda.
[56:46] Right. . Thank you. .
[56:48] Great points, counselor, Hornick and thanks for highlighting
[56:50] that I don't see any other speakers on the board.
[56:53] Councilor Pedro Can I ask you to move this
[56:55] forward, , so moved by Councilor Tahoe recorded vote? ?
[57:03] Thank you folks that has passed unanimously down to 10.8
[57:07] joint use funding agreement. . Counselor Parish. .
[57:13] Jody is smiling.
[57:15] This has been worse than birthing five elephants.
[57:19] I've never seen anything. Take this long.
[57:23] The patients that Jodi exhibited is saint like
[57:28] Occasionally got red in the face dealing with the staff
[57:32] at the school. That was the problem. We
[57:34] had the money in the bank. We had a
[57:36] designs done. We did what would fit And if
[57:39] you look at the diagrams, you'll see it's a
[57:41] very tight location. Um, it's an elementary school
[57:46] property on a
[57:48] Deep down Crescent with
[57:50] Just no access at all. The some
[57:56] They're back in the dark.
[57:57] Days allowed of secondary school to be built on an
[58:00] elementary school site. Um, who shall remain unnamed,
[58:04] , but did go to jail at one point
[58:07] Um, so this has been a battle Royal and
[58:12] it's not that we didn't want to do it.
[58:13] It's not that we didn't do 25 drawings. It
[58:16] was the principal kept saying. .
[58:18] That she wanted six tracks. She wanted a dome.
[58:21] I mean, look at the site. So
[58:23] anyway, it is finally going through. Jody got
[58:26] red in the face. Occasionally, I actually lost
[58:28] my patients once or twice and blasted them. .
[58:31] The guy who showed the most patients with Steph ship
[58:34] Pinsky. He never lost it. He just would
[58:36] get that smile on his face That said. .
[58:39] I'm dealing with difficult people. I'm going to just
[58:41] take deep breaths. Really Want to thank Flavia Ian
[58:45] Sagna Lean. She is the president of the Student
[58:48] council Parents there. . The student
[58:51] Body parents.
[58:52] She was at first under the spell of the staff
[58:57] there. And once she figured out, um,
[59:00] that she had a grade nine students that went through
[59:03] four years with no track that could have had a
[59:05] track. She came on our side hard and fast.
[59:08] So this has been a really tough battle.
[59:11] The separate board was a little difficult as well on
[59:14] their half of the money. .
[59:16] All they had to do was ask the province to
[59:19] dip into the money that they accumulate from selling sites.
[59:21] They didn't want to do that. I don't
[59:23] know why. .
[59:24] So I'm making a big deal out of this because
[59:27] it was for five, , maybe years of fighting. .
[59:30] And the sad part is they have fabulous kids.
[59:33] There they come. They go to Ropa Rhapsody,
[59:37] and they win everything all the time. They do
[59:40] really well. Track and field. This is a
[59:42] strength there. .
[59:43] And they were practicing running on terrazzo floors in the
[59:46] halls. .
[59:48] They were practicing high jump in the parking lots on
[59:51] pavement. .
[59:53] And a lot of them got hurt and dropped out.
[59:55] And there were kids that went through that system
[59:58] that could have had a track five years ago.
[1:00:01] So that's why I'm making a big deal out of
[1:00:03] this. Jodi, I thank you, 100%.
[1:00:05] You've been fantastic. I think Steph who's not here,
[1:00:09] but we should carry him on our shoulders.
[1:00:10] These listening probably, um and I think everybody who
[1:00:14] had anything to do with this. This is just
[1:00:16] a major accomplishment for Malton. .
[1:00:19] And for the separate school and for the kids,
[1:00:22] especially so I happily move this with great joy because
[1:00:28] we never have to talk about it again. Thank
[1:00:31] you. .
[1:00:33] Thank you. Councilor Parish Councilor Birla just want to
[1:00:36] congratulate Counselor Parish. I want to do something not
[1:00:40] the same but similar at TL Kennedy. But I
[1:00:43] don't know it's going to be like birthing 10 elephants
[1:00:46] if you had five, because that's I don't know.
[1:00:48] I don't know those size of this project.
[1:00:50] It's pretty big, but what we're hoping to do.
[1:00:52] There is much bigger and they never come to
[1:00:54] pass. . But
[1:00:55] Really well done, that you were able to do
[1:00:57] it and we'll see how it goes and cooksville.
[1:01:00] We'll look at all options to get revenue to thank
[1:01:06] you. Councilor went from birthing elephants to really good
[1:01:08] news story. So well done, counselor Paris and
[1:01:10] I know you're happy to move this, so it's
[1:01:11] moved by councilor Paris and it's a recorded vote. .
[1:01:20] Thank you folks. That's unanimous as well. 10.9
[1:01:24] expanded, , delegated authority and those council parish. .
[1:01:30] No, I'm really pleased to see this report.
[1:01:33] I just wanted a little clarification when it suggests that
[1:01:37] rezoning doesn't have to come through council anymore that it
[1:01:40] can be done through staff. Um, I assume
[1:01:42] it applies to things like seniors, buildings, things
[1:01:45] that are
[1:01:46] That we as a group agree deserve him. Zito's
[1:01:50] It wouldn't be other, obviously more political situation,
[1:01:53] so I just want to double check that if there's
[1:01:57] a seniors building or long term care building coming through
[1:02:01] Obviously we'd be notified, but we wouldn't have to
[1:02:03] go through all that rigmarole. .
[1:02:07] Through the chair to the counselor. Yes, yes,
[1:02:10] that's correct. So then, is it really
[1:02:12] is changing the land use
[1:02:14] Creating a new zone for that particular land and what
[1:02:20] this really is doing outside of that through site plan
[1:02:24] approval process. We have various agreements right now it's
[1:02:29] silent to that for MZ does this would essentially just
[1:02:33] give me the authority to do that for these M
[1:02:35] said. . Oh, ,
[1:02:36] Situations and and is it safe to presume that right
[1:02:40] now it's it's long term care buildings. None of
[1:02:42] us would have any objection to that. If there's
[1:02:45] anything else that falls into that category would come back
[1:02:48] to us with that. .
[1:02:50] Through the chair to the counselor. So for the
[1:02:52] M zero process typically what when somebody comes to us
[1:02:56] and contemplates that we direct them to counsel and counsel
[1:03:00] has a policy that you consider and usually involves things
[1:03:06] like long term care, affordable housing and economic development
[1:03:10] that you would
[1:03:11] Generally consider and them Zito or support one. Beyond
[1:03:16] that, If it's just housing project as an example,
[1:03:19] it's not something counselors indicated. Support for okay.
[1:03:23] Thank you very much, and I'm really delighted
[1:03:25] to move this. Thank you. Great. Thank
[1:03:27] you very much. Counselor. Paris. I don't
[1:03:28] see anybody else on the board, so it is
[1:03:30] moved by councilor perish and it's a recorded vote. .
[1:03:36] Okay?
[1:03:40] There we go. It is unanimous and we are
[1:03:43] moving right along to matters pertaining to the region of
[1:03:47] peel. .
[1:03:51] Not seeing anybody. Okay? I don't know what
[1:03:55] Crombie.
[1:03:56] Just to let everyone know that we did do the
[1:03:59] interviews for the overall yesterday and there will be a
[1:04:03] recommendation coming to the to counsel out of Indian camera.
[1:04:08] We spent a better part of the day giving
[1:04:11] careful consideration to all the candidates, so I hope
[1:04:14] you'll hope you'll appreciate a lot of work went into
[1:04:17] the decision. The recommendation that's been made. Thank
[1:04:19] you. .
[1:04:21] Thank you, Madam Mayor Councilor
[1:04:24] Thank you through the chair. Just wanted to comment
[1:04:27] on our I believe our next meeting isn't for a
[1:04:30] couple of weeks. . Um
[1:04:32] Sorry. There's one tomorrow but in a couple of
[1:04:34] weeks because we're skipping through March break, I know
[1:04:37] that counselor Hornick and I are both going to have
[1:04:41] motions to support some of our community members here at
[1:04:46] council last week we voted in favor supporting the Coptic
[1:04:50] Church and and some of their development charge issues.
[1:04:53] The larger portion of that is going to be the
[1:04:55] regional portion. And so I know that we're council
[1:04:59] mornings can be looking for support for that. .
[1:05:01] I have the Muslim Association of Canada School, which
[1:05:05] is the largest Muslim school in Ontario, or possibly
[1:05:08] in Canada, and they are looking for some support
[1:05:11] as well. And we are going to the region
[1:05:12] first, because it is the significantly larger piece of
[1:05:16] the pie, um, and would appreciate council's consideration.
[1:05:20] Mississauga counselors consideration when we go to the region
[1:05:23] for that. .
[1:05:24] Thank you.
[1:05:25] Thank you for finding those. I don't see any
[1:05:29] other counselors on the boards around a counselor, Enquiries,
[1:05:32] counselor, But thank you very much, Mr
[1:05:36] Chair. .
[1:05:37] I've been contacted by a couple of residents who have,
[1:05:41] , uh
[1:05:42] Wildlife that have decided to inhabit. Uh
[1:05:46] Their property. In one particular case. It's a
[1:05:49] family of Fox's. What they've done is they have
[1:05:53] contacted. Obviously, our animal services, folks who
[1:05:57] I believe have said that we do not
[1:06:00] Remove or play any role when the when the wildlife
[1:06:04] is on private property, And that may very well
[1:06:07] be the city policy. I guess my question through
[1:06:10] you to commissioner right would be. Is this or
[1:06:14] can we really look at that? I think there
[1:06:18] might be some situations from time to time where the
[1:06:23] onus only on the homeowner
[1:06:25] When it might be broader in the neighborhood, depending
[1:06:28] on the type of wildlife there is there that our
[1:06:33] staff could actually be involved in, Um, taking
[1:06:37] action, possibly relocation or removal, Obviously, in
[1:06:42] a humane way, because I think we all agree
[1:06:44] with you want it to be done. .
[1:06:46] Humanely and not to, um, not to belittle
[1:06:52] the private companies that do that, But I have
[1:06:55] a little bit more faith in our staff that I
[1:06:57] think I would in a private company doing taking the
[1:07:01] action or doing the removal. So that's my first
[1:07:04] inquiry. And then Mr Chair. I do have
[1:07:05] one more quick one, but that's the first one.
[1:07:08] . Thank you. .
[1:07:09] Through you, Mr Chair to counselor but council,
[1:07:11] But, yeah, you did summarize sort of the
[1:07:13] general practice that animal service takes in terms of working
[1:07:15] with residents around. It's more of an education and
[1:07:19] awareness perspective in terms of they do have animals.
[1:07:22] Let's say it's a fox den or something that's on
[1:07:24] their private property ways to discourage that from happening and
[1:07:28] ways to potentially get those foxes to or whatever animal
[1:07:31] it is to move on on their own. .
[1:07:33] Generally we don't go in and relocate animals from private
[1:07:36] property. From that perspective, there are certain cases
[1:07:39] where we do go in. If there's you know,
[1:07:41] inside the building or there, they made their
[1:07:44] way into the roof. Those types of things we
[1:07:46] do take a different approach with that, And we
[1:07:49] do to your comment often, Uh, you know,
[1:07:53] help the residents utilized private relocation services in that
[1:07:58] regard. .
[1:07:59] But we would be happy to bring back a report.
[1:08:01] That kind of speaks to our practice speaks to
[1:08:04] a little bit about, you know, just firm
[1:08:05] and awareness perspective, the provincial legislation around relocation.
[1:08:09] There are some guidelines in place around distances that if
[1:08:13] there is a relocation, one kilometer that the maximum
[1:08:16] that can be relocated, , so in that situation often
[1:08:20] Animals do find their way back. So it's good
[1:08:22] that the resident you know, enables practices that discouraged
[1:08:26] that type of, , you know, , um
[1:08:28] Re homing or re accessing the property so we can
[1:08:32] take that as direction counselor to work with their Animal
[1:08:34] service team and come back with a better report that
[1:08:36] outlines our current practice provincial regulations. And then if
[1:08:41] we were to, maybe, perhaps change our practice
[1:08:43] what That would mean from a from a resource perspective
[1:08:45] so we can certainly take that direction. .
[1:08:49] Okay. Thank you very much for that, and
[1:08:50] I look forward to seeing that report back in due
[1:08:53] course. .
[1:08:54] The second item is everyone's favorite this time of year
[1:08:58] because we've all got the calls and the emails.
[1:09:01] And that, of course, is is windows and
[1:09:03] snowplowing and other
[1:09:06] Related issues. And I know previous councils have debated
[1:09:09] the level of service what we can and can't do,
[1:09:12] and I don't know whether the timing is right
[1:09:15] for this new council to be re looking at it
[1:09:18] again, but that last storm was particularly bad because
[1:09:22] of the amount of ice and really solid end of
[1:09:26] driveway. .
[1:09:27] And sometimes sidewalks know that there is no way residents
[1:09:31] can possibly be in a position to remove that even
[1:09:35] talked to one person that my neighbor came over with
[1:09:37] the snow. But the snow blower can't even deal
[1:09:40] with that, because they're not. They're not built
[1:09:42] to, you know, they're not Zambonis or other
[1:09:44] ice ice oriented type machinery there, snowblowers and a
[1:09:49] lot of people were simply not able to get out
[1:09:53] of their driveways or walkways for many days and still
[1:09:57] We're not going to get any thawing this week.
[1:10:00] Either, and there are still people who have not
[1:10:02] had been able to get their car out of the
[1:10:04] driveway for for five days. Now, we're six
[1:10:07] days since the storm last Friday, so I guess
[1:10:11] through you Mr Chair to commissioner right again. I
[1:10:15] don't know if you want to comment on that again,
[1:10:18] , whether this is the right time to get another
[1:10:21] Report or my colleagues here think it's appropriate for us
[1:10:26] to re look at that issue again. I know
[1:10:29] there's pros and cons and all this and obviously there's
[1:10:31] cost. I actually got one email from a resident
[1:10:34] said, , Raise my taxes. .
[1:10:36] Just get just get this stuff off the end of
[1:10:39] my driveway. I don't think I've ever read an
[1:10:40] email or someone said, Raise my taxes. But
[1:10:43] this could be an issue now that we need to
[1:10:45] revisit in some way, shape or form because we
[1:10:47] are getting way more comments back from our residents,
[1:10:53] both by email and by phone, So I'll leave
[1:10:55] that Mr. . Chair. . Thank you. .
[1:10:59] Question. Do you want to make comment? Thank
[1:11:01] you, Mr Charity Counselor. But so, counselor,
[1:11:04] Um, yeah. You know what you said,
[1:11:06] is correct. We did have a debate at
[1:11:08] the previous council in 2020. When the current winter
[1:11:12] maintenance contract was being decided, And at that time
[1:11:15] we did procure a number of options to the tender.
[1:11:18] One of those being wind rose and the price
[1:11:21] that was presented to council was about $10.4 million annually.
[1:11:24] .
[1:11:24] For the cost of wind rose and so council decided
[1:11:28] to omit that service level from the winter maintenance contract.
[1:11:32] Um and but there was a request for us
[1:11:34] to go back and re tender that again and come
[1:11:37] back to this council with an update. So we
[1:11:39] are in the process of doing that We are in
[1:11:42] market right now for that additional service level. .
[1:11:46] Um, and will likely be in a position to
[1:11:49] take that back through a budget committee in the not
[1:11:52] too distant future about the cost for that for that
[1:11:55] price, So I would expect that $10.4 million because
[1:11:59] it's not part of a winter maintenance contract to be
[1:12:02] a lot higher than than what it was bid at
[1:12:05] previously. I think the current estimate from staff was
[1:12:08] around $15 million, but I wouldn't be surprised if
[1:12:11] that cost came back a little bit higher, So
[1:12:12] I just wanted to provide that context, but we
[1:12:15] will be bringing back
[1:12:16] A report as requested, outlining the cost of that
[1:12:20] service level, and we can and council can have
[1:12:22] that discussion again. .
[1:12:23] In the not too distant future.
[1:12:26] Thank you, Jeff.
[1:12:29] Councilor Kovac. Thank you. And through you,
[1:12:33] Mr Chair. I have a question about street sweeping.
[1:12:36] It's quite general. Which is why I didn't
[1:12:38] ask to have item 10.2 earlier held and for commissioner
[1:12:44] right? ?
[1:12:45] When we are sweeping
[1:12:48] And we have a bicycle lanes and they're separated either
[1:12:51] by Bullard's or whatever they might be separated by what
[1:12:54] are we using to ensure that those
[1:12:57] Lanes, get the sweeping as well.
[1:13:00] And when there are not
[1:13:03] Presumably or not, even presumably, there is debris
[1:13:06] that will build up. How frequently are we checking
[1:13:09] catch basins on arterial roads? ?
[1:13:12] Would be kind of the second part to the question.
[1:13:15] .
[1:13:17] Three. Mr Charity counselor Kovac. So it's Scott
[1:13:20] home is in the audience, so I'm going to
[1:13:21] ask him to come down to give more. .
[1:13:24] More detailed response and I could provide on your specific
[1:13:28] questions. .
[1:13:28] Thank you.
[1:13:30] Thank you, Jeff. Through you, Mr Chair
[1:13:32] to Councilor Kovac. We do have some other specialized
[1:13:35] equipment that can win. Whether we put it on
[1:13:38] a track this machine the machines that clear some of
[1:13:40] our sidewalks. We can put a broom on there
[1:13:42] to be able to clear them. We've been working
[1:13:44] with our active transportation team to make sure that when
[1:13:47] they are putting these sorts of
[1:13:49] Um
[1:13:50] Separated bike lanes that we've got the proper equipment available
[1:13:54] to be able to maintain them through the summer as
[1:13:56] well as the winter to be able to do that,
[1:13:58] , so
[1:13:59] We should be fine to be able to go through
[1:14:01] the areas that have been designated as a separated bike
[1:14:04] lanes to make sure that they're clear when the program
[1:14:06] kicks off. .
[1:14:07] Okay? And as usual, if there's ever a
[1:14:10] situation where there are blockages and residents are concerned,
[1:14:14] and the expressed that I'm sure you won't mind as
[1:14:17] you've, you've always told us reach out to you
[1:14:20] Let you know And you'll make sure that that gets
[1:14:23] remedied so absolutely yes. .
[1:14:27] Thank you, Councilor. Thank you, Scott.
[1:14:29] And thank you to the team for all your hard
[1:14:31] work over the last little while appreciated America, Crombie.
[1:14:34] .
[1:14:34] So two things. First off Thank you, Councilor.
[1:14:38] But on the windrow issue, I have never
[1:14:41] had more complaints. They come to me direct me
[1:14:43] to directly. They are sending me videos of what
[1:14:46] this wall of ice at the end of their driveway
[1:14:48] looks like as as counselor but described as nothing that
[1:14:51] anyone is going to shovel or a snow blower is
[1:14:53] going to remove so other municipalities I understand are getting
[1:14:57] this not having the same effect with their snowplowing. .
[1:15:01] So I think it's time that we sit down and
[1:15:03] look at them equipment again and what it would cost
[1:15:05] and maybe it's evolved and won't cost so much And
[1:15:08] maybe we can accommodate it. Even although I think
[1:15:10] one of the reasons we couldn't accommodate as we can
[1:15:12] store, it costs too much, and it wasn't
[1:15:14] going to do the smaller roads and cold air sacs
[1:15:17] and just the bigger boulevard. So if we could
[1:15:19] look at it again, Jeff, I don't know
[1:15:21] Maybe it this
[1:15:24] This snowstorm, and the one was at last month.
[1:15:28] No last month that one was bad, but
[1:15:30] this one was horrible. It's just seems to be
[1:15:32] the amount of snow and ice fell in such a
[1:15:35] contracted period of time, and it was very heavy.
[1:15:38] And then the rain started and it became ice
[1:15:41] and then it froze. And it's just a nightmare.
[1:15:44] It's worse than I've ever heard it in my
[1:15:45] 11 years here, and it's always been a problem.
[1:15:48] .
[1:15:48] But I can't. I don't even like to open
[1:15:51] my inbox Right now. I honest to God.
[1:15:53] I have forwarded a few of them to you.
[1:15:55] But maybe it's something you can bring back and we
[1:15:58] can have that discussion again about what the cost would
[1:16:01] be and whether the equipment is evolved and we could
[1:16:03] have accommodated etcetera if you want to make any comments.
[1:16:06] .
[1:16:06] Three Mr Chair to Tamir Crombie. Yes, Mayor
[1:16:09] Crombie. So we are at market right now,
[1:16:11] with a going to tender for a cost for wind
[1:16:15] rose and we'll bring back a report. I believe
[1:16:18] we're going to target Budget Committee because it would have
[1:16:21] a budget impact and will outline the results of that
[1:16:23] procurement in terms of what it means to provide Windrow
[1:16:27] removal service. .
[1:16:28] And answer all the questions that you've just flagged in
[1:16:30] terms of equipment where it can be done. What
[1:16:33] type of driveways can be done? What the cost
[1:16:35] is and when it could be added to the contract,
[1:16:38] which would likely be is so if council were
[1:16:41] to decide Yes, , let's say later this year. .
[1:16:44] You need time for the contractors to acquire the equipment.
[1:16:46] So would likely be the fall of 2024 that
[1:16:50] started that winter season where that service level could be
[1:16:52] provided. But we will get into all that information
[1:16:56] to go through all these complaints again next year season
[1:16:58] because of the need for the contractors to it's been
[1:17:03] a relatively warm
[1:17:06] Winter, other than a couple of big, really
[1:17:08] big dumps that we've had. So we were fortunate
[1:17:11] up to a few weeks ago with the amount of
[1:17:13] snow that we received this year. It was looking
[1:17:15] like it was going to be a pretty mild winter.
[1:17:16] From that perspective, and in the winter maintenance
[1:17:19] teams. Well, very busy, certainly didn't have
[1:17:22] to deal with the amount of snow that we typically
[1:17:24] get. But that changed and as you flagged the
[1:17:26] type of snowstorm that we got last week, the
[1:17:30] temperature that there's no arrived in
[1:17:31] Allowed for a very high accumulation quickly. But then,
[1:17:35] as you've referenced with the temperature change to reign,
[1:17:37] it became very heavy and quickly turned to ice.
[1:17:40] So yeah, I can. I can I
[1:17:42] can relate to the amount of windows that we received,
[1:17:45] but also the impact that had on residents and
[1:17:49] on their access to and from their driveways. Thank
[1:17:52] you. So you know other municipalities are getting this
[1:17:55] done and we're aware of it. .
[1:17:56] People have moved in from other municipalities and said that
[1:17:59] it was cleared previously. Why can't we do it?
[1:18:01] And I wrote back to one of the residents
[1:18:03] and said what it would be 1 to 1.5% on
[1:18:06] your tax bill, and they wrote back that they
[1:18:08] thought it might be worth it. So it's something
[1:18:10] to look at. Because it was $10 million for
[1:18:13] the newer counselors when we looked at it before,
[1:18:17] you know, so something to look at is a
[1:18:19] big cost. .
[1:18:20] The other one is something that's been kind of brewing
[1:18:23] in my in my head since the passing of our
[1:18:25] former beloved mayor Hazel in just another way that we
[1:18:29] can recognize her. Obviously, we have named the
[1:18:31] library Central Library for her. But you know,
[1:18:34] I've often wondered about how citizen of the years operated
[1:18:38] out of the real estate board and her story Mississauga
[1:18:42] News and volunteer of the year. .
[1:18:45] Volunteer volunteer of the year. Out of the,
[1:18:47] uh they're out of the Mississauga news, vice versa
[1:18:49] and the real estate boards. We don't have any
[1:18:52] word honoring residents here. So I thought, if
[1:18:55] you could look at a hazel McCallion Spirit award,
[1:18:58] if possible, and just think about what that would
[1:19:01] look like, and you know, it doesn't have
[1:19:03] to be maybe some sort of glass sculpture award. .
[1:19:06] We have the glass studio across the street. But
[1:19:09] what would that look like? I just asking staff
[1:19:11] to think. Give that some thought. Maybe it's
[1:19:13] something we could launch on Canada Day pick someone who
[1:19:17] embodies Hazel Spirit and the hazel McCallion spirit or what
[1:19:20] I like that idea lot and something that we can
[1:19:23] present big on a larger stage without, you know,
[1:19:26] ,
[1:19:27] Anyway, so I just
[1:19:28] I was thinking about more recognition and tributes as the
[1:19:31] weeks have gone by, and I thought I'd throw
[1:19:33] that to staff to direct you to take a look
[1:19:36] at it and bring it back Some suggestions to us
[1:19:40] Looking at Rob for worth up there. Is he
[1:19:42] nodding so we'll take that back and and come back
[1:19:46] with a proposal. Thank you. Thank you.
[1:19:48] Thank you, , Councilor Hornick. .
[1:19:52] Well, I feel like we almost all need to
[1:19:54] drop a loony in a swear jar for saying the
[1:19:56] s word. Snow Snow, Right? Um,
[1:20:01] counselor part you, Madam Mayor, You're all put
[1:20:03] in a loony in the Yeah. I mean,
[1:20:06] I think just kind of elaborate more on the debate.
[1:20:08] I mean, I think we face the challenge
[1:20:10] in the city where we have an aging population in
[1:20:13] single detached homes, , right? ?
[1:20:15] And it's creating a generational issue because you know,
[1:20:19] people who were previously more able who could break down
[1:20:22] those ice blocks are not able to as much anymore,
[1:20:25] Right? So I think it is a challenge.
[1:20:27] I guess my question for the commissioner nowhere out
[1:20:29] to tender on this. .
[1:20:31] There's sometimes when you look at it, and you're
[1:20:33] like man, that's just the price living in Canada.
[1:20:35] There's other times when you're like somebody who lives
[1:20:38] on a four lane road, and they're getting two
[1:20:42] lanes of windrow. .
[1:20:45] Is an even steeper hill to climb. And I
[1:20:47] wonder, Is there any differentiation that we can make
[1:20:50] in the contract? ? Because
[1:20:52] Look when drones stink, no matter where you are,
[1:20:54] but there's also some where you look at and
[1:20:55] you're like you're not just clearing a one lane of
[1:20:57] traffic going out two lanes of traffic. That's an
[1:21:00] even higher bar to have to do. Is there
[1:21:03] any differentiation we can make about that? ? Scott? ?
[1:21:06] While Scott's waiting to come down. I will say
[1:21:08] I did take the time where I got a small
[1:21:10] number of compliments on our snow clearing
[1:21:13] It was small. I know it's rare, but
[1:21:15] some very kind. People did compliment us and I
[1:21:18] do make sure I pass those on to Scott and
[1:21:19] his team. Because I know the differentiation of people
[1:21:22] who send a compliment versus a complaint is is not
[1:21:25] always the best. Scott, do you have a
[1:21:27] thought? ?
[1:21:27] Yes, through you, Mr Chair that counselor Hornak.
[1:21:29] . Thank you for that. .
[1:21:31] We didn't separate in the in the tender the procurement
[1:21:34] that's out now the differentiating between
[1:21:37] You know, two or three lane road that might
[1:21:39] have some residential streets and just the regular residential.
[1:21:42] It was more
[1:21:43] Just how many dwellings do we actually have?
[1:21:45] Um, And it's very difficult to do townhouse dwellings
[1:21:49] because you've got nowhere to put the snow even if
[1:21:51] we went out with the machines, , so
[1:21:53] We will detail all that information for you something that
[1:21:57] we can look at. But I haven't really had
[1:21:58] a lot of complaints from like the people on Katara,
[1:22:01] for instance, that we actually clear it's been
[1:22:05] the people just on the residential streets that have been
[1:22:09] the boisterous ones for this for this episode, so
[1:22:12] we'll put it that way. But something we can
[1:22:14] look at
[1:22:15] Okay, I guess I had two other quick points.
[1:22:17] One is also the other place where I had
[1:22:19] sympathy as people in the bends of a road right?
[1:22:21] And I know that it's a challenge, sometimes
[1:22:24] to kind of
[1:22:25] Get deeper into the curve of a street, depending
[1:22:27] on how it's constructed. But again, you know,
[1:22:29] when you're leaving several feet of snow, it
[1:22:33] is that much harder on people and again. Sometimes
[1:22:35] you have to say we are in Canada. But
[1:22:38] there's sometimes you look at something on a video and
[1:22:40] you're like, , Oh, , boy, , I
[1:22:42] Yeah. Is there anything we can do a little
[1:22:44] bit in our current on that Just getting into those
[1:22:47] bends a little bit better through the chair to Councilor
[1:22:49] Hornak. We do instruct the plows to try to
[1:22:52] get as close to the curb as they can on
[1:22:53] those. We call them the deep elbows where you've
[1:22:55] got those wide turns that you have to do.
[1:22:58] We also set up loader routes that we have loaders
[1:23:01] go in afterwards and then clear those areas. .
[1:23:03] So if you have any of your residents that maybe
[1:23:06] we missed it that it's not on the map.
[1:23:08] Let us know and we can make sure that we
[1:23:10] get that added, , because we do have
[1:23:13] About a dozen to 15 loaders in each one of
[1:23:16] the yards that we have that are specifically to do
[1:23:18] the deep elbows as well as clean up the courts.
[1:23:21] Because, you know, we use the loaders
[1:23:22] to clean up the courts and pal everything into the
[1:23:23] middle. So if you do get those requests,
[1:23:26] send them over to me, and I'll make sure
[1:23:28] that we get them onto the roots. Perfect.
[1:23:30] Thank you. . I guess last question I have was
[1:23:34] Maybe this is more to Jeff and parking enforcement.
[1:23:37] So in a couple of cases, one particular case,
[1:23:39] , a resident saw that snow was coming. .
[1:23:42] The streets were littered with cars. And so when
[1:23:45] subsequently the plow comes around. It just can't get
[1:23:48] down the road. Um, is there anything we
[1:23:51] can be doing on the parking enforcement too? Because
[1:23:53] you know, when we have a snow date,
[1:23:54] we shouldn't be out there parking our cars, and
[1:23:56] I know we make the announcements. But is there
[1:23:58] anything especially with our possibly amped up by law that
[1:24:02] will be able to do on that side of things?
[1:24:04] ?
[1:24:06] Sure, sure. I'll tell field that one that
[1:24:07] when the commissioner passes you the torch you take it.
[1:24:10] So we work with our parking enforcement team to
[1:24:15] try to help prevent that. We do have the
[1:24:18] no parking 2 to 6 A.m.. When we are
[1:24:20] in the winter event, we suspend the temporary parking
[1:24:23] permits to try to help. We do have a
[1:24:25] bit of a pilot going on in war 10 with
[1:24:28] The one street parking only that has been working and
[1:24:33] maybe not always working. . It's very difficult. .
[1:24:36] If you don't have kind of a broad, no
[1:24:38] parking through the winter for our vehicles to do any
[1:24:42] kind of activity, , and it's not just
[1:24:44] In any particular area. It's a citywide thing,
[1:24:47] so we do try to work with our parking enforcement
[1:24:49] teams. There's communications that our team has, as
[1:24:52] we know we're getting into the residential areas are crews
[1:24:55] and inspectors will actually go and and look into the
[1:24:58] streets that we're getting ready to go into. .
[1:25:00] And if we see some issues, try to let
[1:25:02] them know, but they're not resource to be able
[1:25:05] to do this as big as what we need to
[1:25:07] across the city as well. But we do partner
[1:25:10] with him as best we can to try to minimize
[1:25:13] it because it adds extra expense and time for us.
[1:25:16] .
[1:25:16] If we have to go back because of parked cars
[1:25:19] afterwards, people think if they park their car,
[1:25:21] they're all we're not going to get the windrow.
[1:25:23] But when we come back, guess what? You
[1:25:25] know, we put the snow back in the in
[1:25:27] the driveway. So or the neighbor next to them
[1:25:30] ends up getting it And then we get the call,
[1:25:31] because they they don't. They don't like having
[1:25:34] that in their driveway because their neighbor park the car
[1:25:37] in the street, , so
[1:25:38] It's a challenge for us when we try to work
[1:25:40] with our parking enforcement, friends as best we can,
[1:25:43] and I know in from what I heard just
[1:25:45] in Toronto. You know, In some cases,
[1:25:47] they'll tell the car, especially, I think if
[1:25:50] the plows completely blocked from getting onto a street,
[1:25:52] maybe that is a right. We have to go
[1:25:53] and what they do is they stick a big orange
[1:25:55] flag on it. .
[1:25:56] Like along with the parking ticket, and it's like
[1:25:58] you better come get your car right now, um,
[1:26:01] Otherwise it's getting hold. Is that anything we
[1:26:03] could do if I mean look, I know you've
[1:26:06] got a big city, but there's got to be
[1:26:08] some times where, like you can't get the plow
[1:26:10] down the road, and that's inconsistent, inconveniencing a
[1:26:13] higher number of people, , right? ?
[1:26:15] Three. Mr Charity counselor Hornick. So, yes,
[1:26:18] certain as an example. Toronto does that a
[1:26:20] lot more because of things like street cars as well.
[1:26:22] So, Yeah, I was driving on Dundas
[1:26:24] Street in Toronto on Saturday. And there was a
[1:26:27] car parked blocking a street car, which is quite
[1:26:30] and there was a tow truck on its way so
[1:26:32] you can see the operation in process And so we
[1:26:35] have done that in the past where we do tow
[1:26:36] vehicles where it's not a level of service that we
[1:26:39] provide across the city. It is, you know,
[1:26:41] we have that available that sort of you know,
[1:26:43] , and and an emergency type basis last
[1:26:45] But it's not sort of a level of service that's
[1:26:47] offered during winter events just from a resource perspective in
[1:26:49] terms of management, managing that, that type of
[1:26:51] demand. . Thank you so much. .
[1:26:53] Thank you very much. Scott. I know it's
[1:26:54] a hard winter. If I my colleagues, colleagues
[1:26:57] indulge me one more minute. I have one last
[1:26:59] question. This one is actually more to Jodi.
[1:27:01] So this is about parks. And we have some
[1:27:04] parks that are seasonal parks. . Um
[1:27:08] Stay support, usually sports fields they get barred in
[1:27:11] the winter. I have got a couple of examples
[1:27:14] where people are saying during the summer months, there
[1:27:17] are a few cars coming in, and the parking
[1:27:19] lots are unlit. That's our current standard is to
[1:27:21] not have them live. But cars are coming in
[1:27:24] late at night, and things are being exchanged through
[1:27:26] windows. I don't know, maybe trading hockey cards.
[1:27:29] .
[1:27:29] But I don't suspect that's the case. Um,
[1:27:33] I guess is that something? We've had a report
[1:27:35] on lately that we could look at the service level
[1:27:37] of that Because I think in particular when we have
[1:27:40] people, calling us out for activities that are repeat,
[1:27:43] and I understand Yes, we can call peel
[1:27:45] police. But peel police will deem that a very
[1:27:48] low priority of response because it's not an actionable. .
[1:27:51] Um, high risk situation is that something we could
[1:27:53] look at or have we looked at recently? ?
[1:27:56] Thank you through you. Chair. Maloney to Councilor
[1:28:00] Hornick haven't specifically looked at parking lots. We do
[1:28:03] have parking lots that are either maintained or not maintained
[1:28:06] in the winter. The ones that aren't maintained in
[1:28:08] the winter are generally gated where we have the P
[1:28:12] gates and we close them off. But there are
[1:28:14] some still that aren't maintained that don't have P.
[1:28:18] Gates. .
[1:28:19] And it really depends on whether we have access.
[1:28:23] Um In some cases, we have parking agreements with
[1:28:26] schools where we maintain certain parking lots, even though
[1:28:29] it may not seem like the park is used,
[1:28:31] But we have an access agreement with the school to
[1:28:34] keep a parking lot open. So it's It's not
[1:28:37] an easy yes or no answer, and I can't
[1:28:40] say that since Covid. We went back and we
[1:28:43] really looked at what facilities were open in the winter
[1:28:47] time and so we opened. .
[1:28:48] Tennis courts, and we opened some of our artificial
[1:28:51] fields, and it sort of became a new level
[1:28:54] of service. Once once covid restrictions were in place,
[1:28:58] we didn't go back and close those all up
[1:29:00] because the members of the community really liked access to
[1:29:04] the parks more in for winter use, so I'd
[1:29:07] have to look at the specific
[1:29:09] Locations. But if it isn't a parking lot that
[1:29:12] we can close down because we have another agreement,
[1:29:15] we do work with peel regional police as well.
[1:29:19] Or if it's a parking lot where we really just
[1:29:21] need to look at getting some P gates in there
[1:29:23] and closing it during off season. We can do
[1:29:26] that as well. In particular lighting, I guess
[1:29:28] is the challenge that the neighbors really would like to
[1:29:31] see some lighting in the park because I know that's
[1:29:32] not our standard on that kind of park, right?
[1:29:34] I will. I will say lighting in the
[1:29:36] park is a little bit like our speed hump issue
[1:29:39] that
[1:29:39] Everybody wants lighting in the park until the park is
[1:29:43] Lit up and then they don't want lighting in the
[1:29:45] park. So we have a standard on where we
[1:29:48] light pathways and where we light parking lots and where
[1:29:51] we don't and it and it is very site specific
[1:29:55] because you know part of the sub tested. .
[1:29:58] Kind of philosophy is if you light it, you're
[1:30:01] encouraging people to use that area. Um and is
[1:30:06] and is it really meant for
[1:30:08] Use.
[1:30:09] All night long, So we have to
[1:30:11] Take a look at that. I'm sorry. I
[1:30:12] can't give you a really simple, easy answer to
[1:30:15] thank you so much to work with your office and
[1:30:17] thank you to my colleagues for giving me a little
[1:30:19] extra time. . They appreciate it. .
[1:30:20] Unintended consequences. Counselor Birla
[1:30:25] Thank you. I just had a interesting well,
[1:30:28] several similar conversations. I just wanted to ask if
[1:30:32] we have a policy citywide. So my residents are
[1:30:35] telling me that given what's going on along here,
[1:30:38] Ontario, the traffic through side streets and neighborhoods,
[1:30:42] streets has increased significantly, , which I can understand. .
[1:30:46] But then they also said that Toronto has in place
[1:30:50] and I was surprised to hear this where they stop.
[1:30:53] People who don't live in the neighborhood from going
[1:30:57] in. And I don't know how you do that,
[1:30:58] , like you sit there with
[1:31:00] Ensure your idea. Do you live here? I
[1:31:02] mean, I don't know how you would do that.
[1:31:03] But I was also wondering. I mean,
[1:31:05] these are all taxpayer paid roads. So how do
[1:31:08] you stop someone from going in to use it as
[1:31:11] a through cut
[1:31:12] Some sensitive to you know the increased volume going through
[1:31:15] certain neighborhoods, but also it's kind of curious.
[1:31:17] Is this true that Toronto's doing this because they are
[1:31:20] asking me now to look at ways to stop through
[1:31:23] traffic going through? ?
[1:31:26] Their neighborhoods.
[1:31:28] Mr Charity counselor, Maryland. So you're like.
[1:31:31] These are public roads, so technically, you can't
[1:31:33] shut them down and provide access to only to residents.
[1:31:37] Only you can put up signage and say local
[1:31:39] traffic only as an example. But that's really not
[1:31:42] really that enforceable because these are public roads and people
[1:31:45] need to get around. And I would suggest that
[1:31:47] you know. Yes. Yes, The Ontario construction
[1:31:51] is
[1:31:52] Impactful, and it is creating a lot of challenges
[1:31:55] for residents that are along the corridor. And this
[1:31:57] morning I was sitting at a table with someone who
[1:31:59] is living off of your Ontario. We're having this
[1:32:01] exact conversation. And so the fortunate part of it
[1:32:04] is that it's temporary. But you know, as
[1:32:06] we lived through that it's it's a concern. So
[1:32:08] I don't want to dismiss Mishka diminish the concerns that
[1:32:11] are being addressed. So if there are certain streets,
[1:32:13] we can certainly have a look at a more
[1:32:15] detailed review of
[1:32:16] It. Does this road provide access to a different
[1:32:19] corridor, and sometimes you know, you kind of
[1:32:21] want traffic to disperse a little bit. Otherwise,
[1:32:23] it's going to be significant congestion in certain areas so
[1:32:27] but if it's if it's a court or local street,
[1:32:29] maybe there is something we can do. So
[1:32:31] I'd be happy to work with your office counselor on
[1:32:33] any specific locations you have, and between metro links
[1:32:36] and the city's LRT office. We can have a
[1:32:38] look at our their mitigation measures that we can put
[1:32:40] in place. .
[1:32:41] Perhaps we could put up some additional signage. That's
[1:32:43] a you know local traffic only, but to the
[1:32:45] point earlier. You can't really, you know,
[1:32:47] prevent people from utilizing that street. Thank you.
[1:32:51] Thank you. . Councilor Parish. .
[1:32:54] Yes, Um, on the wind, Rose.
[1:32:56] We all want to go to heaven and no one
[1:32:58] wants to die. As soon as you get into
[1:33:01] the budget discussions, everybody pulls back from this and
[1:33:05] I'm going to remind everybody about today's conversation. Because
[1:33:09] we've got an aging population in Mississauga. We've got
[1:33:12] a lot of seniors who were made housebound by wind
[1:33:15] rose. .
[1:33:16] Can't get out. Their kids live in Vancouver,
[1:33:19] and they just they're stuck there until it melts.
[1:33:22] And I was watching the snow blowers on my street.
[1:33:25] And what was coming out of the end of
[1:33:26] it wasn't snow. . It was water. .
[1:33:28] Because it was so wet underneath, So I'm just
[1:33:31] going to remind everybody because when we do budget,
[1:33:34] the weather is usually better, and we don't have
[1:33:36] complaints from people who are getting stuck. And then
[1:33:40] we hear the amount it's going to cost and we
[1:33:42] all go. Oh, my God, we'd love
[1:33:44] to do this, but we can't afford it.
[1:33:45] So front row remember today. .
[1:33:49] Marked down the date we've been talking about. This
[1:33:52] is 2006 when I was in council the first time
[1:33:55] and it's never been affordable and you go through the
[1:33:59] reports that we get are very extensive and very detailed
[1:34:02] and take a lot of staff time and we all
[1:34:04] go. We'd love to do it, but we
[1:34:06] just can't afford it. So that's my little spiel
[1:34:08] on that. And Brad, I agree with you
[1:34:11] on wildlife. . Um
[1:34:13] My office called. I have two foxes in my
[1:34:16] backyard. .
[1:34:17] They live under my wooden deck, and one of
[1:34:20] them has mange so badly there is nothing left on
[1:34:23] the tail No for and it shakes when it comes
[1:34:26] out, Of course, my stupid Bulldogs chase it,
[1:34:28] So they whip under that gazebo, and we
[1:34:31] called because the one Fox is very sick, and
[1:34:34] it's kind of sad for the kids in the neighborhood.
[1:34:36] .
[1:34:36] And didn't get much of a response. So I
[1:34:39] think we have to start looking at the fact particularly
[1:34:43] when you live close to ravines. You live close
[1:34:45] to parks with some wild area in it. I
[1:34:49] have coyotes. They don't come in my backyard.
[1:34:51] They're afraid of my Bulldogs. I think, but
[1:34:54] the foxes I have two of them. I have
[1:34:56] a raccoon who's lived here in my backyard for three
[1:34:58] years. .
[1:34:59] And I now have a possum who looks adorable until
[1:35:01] he opens his mouth. .
[1:35:03] And you look at those teeth and it's like old
[1:35:05] my God. Anyway, I think I'd like to
[1:35:08] see that report that counselor but has asked for and
[1:35:11] I might say in a city built along ravines in
[1:35:15] the credit River, , we might have to look at
[1:35:17] Doing something with wildlife just to be humane. Was
[1:35:21] it Gandhi that said, the way you treat your
[1:35:24] animals is the way you treat your people, and
[1:35:26] I think we have to pay attention to this.
[1:35:28] So I'm just supporting you, Brad. I think
[1:35:30] it's a something we should be looking at. Thank
[1:35:32] you. .
[1:35:35] I think Brad appreciates that counselor.
[1:35:39] Thank you through the chair. Um, first question,
[1:35:43] um either city manager or corporate services in and
[1:35:46] around support for our residents. Associations have had this
[1:35:50] request from a number of our repair associations of which
[1:35:53] everybody knows. I have many 14 very engaged associations
[1:35:58] across war, too, And I believe counselor.
[1:36:01] Tesco also has about a dozen
[1:36:03] So, you know, certainly the South is very
[1:36:06] engaged, and we love that they are asking for
[1:36:11] some support, either to the community benefits program.
[1:36:13] If you're registered group or something that could be offered
[1:36:17] to residents associations specifically around insurance for boards. It
[1:36:22] is one of their, um large expenses that they
[1:36:25] do to be ensured. .
[1:36:27] As and this could be community services. Apologies that
[1:36:31] they would like the city to look into. And
[1:36:34] I'd be interested in seeing if we could support our
[1:36:36] residents Associations with board insurance. .
[1:36:40] Thank you. Through you, Mr Chair. We
[1:36:42] do have an insurance program as part of being a
[1:36:46] registered group. I think what you're seeing is boards
[1:36:50] who are wanting to get additional insurance. Um,
[1:36:54] just because of some, you know, bad behavior
[1:36:57] is going on in other areas, not in their
[1:37:00] own board. . But
[1:37:01] You know, a number of boards have been a
[1:37:03] little bit more cognizant and wanting to increase insurance.
[1:37:06] So we have you know our insurance provider and they
[1:37:08] pay the premium through the city. So if there's
[1:37:12] an additional amount that we can take a look at
[1:37:16] that would be a premium that you know, and
[1:37:18] they just pay. They just pay that. But
[1:37:19] then they get all the benefits of you know certain
[1:37:22] things for it, but it was a lot more
[1:37:23] reasonable than individually having to go out. .
[1:37:26] And secure that insurance for themselves like to see if
[1:37:29] it would be affordable or not for the city to
[1:37:32] potentially pay for that insurance as well for if they
[1:37:35] had a certain amount of requirements that we want to.
[1:37:38] I just want to look into it a bit
[1:37:39] more would be appreciated. My second question is in
[1:37:43] around this report that, um, unfortunately, came
[1:37:47] out yesterday from the B C. Human Rights Commission.
[1:37:50] .
[1:37:50] On hate and discrimination in Canada and BC specifically But
[1:37:56] this has been a theme since Covid started, um
[1:38:01] 483% 82% increase in anti Asian racism was reported yesterday.
[1:38:08] .
[1:38:09] 400. That's five times.
[1:38:11] That's unbelievable.
[1:38:13] There was 115 increase in, uh, in black
[1:38:17] racism as well. .
[1:38:19] And that's very, very disturbing, and I was
[1:38:21] going to say that in sort of announcements and that
[1:38:24] we need to reaffirm our support for these communities.
[1:38:27] But also I think we have an opportunity with the
[1:38:30] amazing celebrations that our communications team has put on,
[1:38:34] Um for black History month. The event this morning
[1:38:38] for international women's Day was fantastic. .
[1:38:41] And I think the city has a role to play
[1:38:44] in promoting our diverse Ah, populations in the city
[1:38:48] and over. I think 56% from the last census
[1:38:51] showed that Mississauga residents are Asian or South Asian descent.
[1:38:56] So I'd like to quickly ask Rob. I
[1:38:58] know it wasn't part of the original celebrations schedule for
[1:39:03] the city of Mississauga for this year, but is
[1:39:06] there you know? Could we get a number or
[1:39:09] an idea if
[1:39:10] If we wanted to do something similar
[1:39:12] Because it's been they've been such phenomenal events and sort
[1:39:15] of your victim of your own success here Rob for
[1:39:18] for doing such a good job for the city for
[1:39:20] promoting these different landmark events that we have throughout the
[1:39:25] year looking into what we could potentially do this year,
[1:39:28] even if it's small to start off for for
[1:39:31] Asian Heritage Month and South Asian Heritage Month, which
[1:39:34] happens to be in May. .
[1:39:37] Ah, through you, Mr. Chair to Councilor
[1:39:39] Ted Hose. . Um
[1:39:40] It's a bit of a tough one to answer in
[1:39:42] terms of what we could do because we could do
[1:39:44] a lot. We brought a report last year in
[1:39:47] May two council recommending that we add to the traditional
[1:39:51] events list International Women's Day National Day for truth and
[1:39:55] Reconciliation, Black History month as well as pride and
[1:39:59] that would join Remembrance Day it would join New Year's
[1:40:02] Eve Levy, the mayor's levy Canada Day and a
[1:40:06] couple of other events that we would do as events
[1:40:08] that the city would do every year. .
[1:40:10] At the same time, the city has a number
[1:40:12] of other ways to recognize events of significance. Months
[1:40:16] of significance. And so you'll see programming across the
[1:40:19] community in terms of libraries does quite a bit of
[1:40:22] that culture does quite a bit of that as well.
[1:40:25] And so the report last year really spoke to
[1:40:28] how do we better coordinate that across the city so
[1:40:30] that we aren't
[1:40:32] Missing anything that's of importance, but that we also
[1:40:34] have some criteria around. You know what we're celebrating.
[1:40:37] And so that report was approved, and we've
[1:40:39] been implementing that and that the Black History month event
[1:40:42] that took place this year was the first one that
[1:40:44] the city itself has coordinated. The mayor's office in
[1:40:47] the past has done them, and I think the
[1:40:49] last couple of years they were virtual. So this
[1:40:50] was the first in person, , one. .
[1:40:52] Um, this morning's event. I'd like to take
[1:40:55] credit for it. But I can't that was done
[1:40:56] entirely by the mayor's office, so I don't want
[1:40:59] credit where it's not due. But that was an
[1:41:01] event that the city was hosting. We've also had
[1:41:04] a number of internal events. Sherry, among others,
[1:41:06] were on a panel yesterday, talking about International
[1:41:09] Women's Day. .
[1:41:10] So this was really our first foray without significant resources
[1:41:15] being put behind it to do this, I would
[1:41:17] suggest if we wanted to move forward with recognizing other
[1:41:20] months other days that we take this back and maybe
[1:41:25] take it to the newly established or soon to be
[1:41:27] established anti racism, , discrimination and hatred committee
[1:41:31] Have those conversations there and see what those recommendations would
[1:41:34] be. I know other cities have grappled with this
[1:41:37] and other cities have different ways of doing this,
[1:41:41] and there is resource implications. So my concern is,
[1:41:45] if we start down this path without a coordinated
[1:41:47] approach that we could wind up, not really having
[1:41:50] a criteria and sort of
[1:41:52] Doing ad hoc events. So I'd like to go
[1:41:56] back and have that conversation with the newly established committee
[1:41:59] and then possibly bring back report with that said.
[1:42:03] We do have the community recognition program, which is
[1:42:06] open to all residents and all groups. And so
[1:42:08] if anybody wants to raise a flag if they want
[1:42:11] to have the clock tower lit, you know if
[1:42:13] they want to talk to the libraries if they want
[1:42:15] to talk to museums about some of this
[1:42:17] I know that programming can be done. So I'm
[1:42:19] thinking we can probably accommodate that in the short term
[1:42:22] because may is coming up quickly. But in the
[1:42:24] longer term, I think we'd want to have a
[1:42:26] bigger conversation about which dates and events. Do we
[1:42:29] recognize this corporation and what the resource implications of that
[1:42:32] would be
[1:42:34] Thank you, Rob and happy to do that and
[1:42:36] move that when? When? Appropriate. Thank you.
[1:42:39] .
[1:42:39] Thank you, Councilor Fonseca.
[1:42:42] Thank you, Hugh Chair. Um, I think
[1:42:45] this question might be to Jody. I'm not certain,
[1:42:50] um, in 2021 to help prevent diabetes in
[1:42:57] the city of Mississauga City, joined the city's changing
[1:43:02] diabetes. .
[1:43:03] Program and also unveiled a stra and Mississauga Mississauga made
[1:43:09] diabetes strategy. Um and I'm just wondering, uh,
[1:43:15] I've had questions from a number of residents just
[1:43:18] wondering if we are still on the timelines that were
[1:43:22] presented the milestones that were presented back when we launched
[1:43:27] the project. .
[1:43:28] Um, with regards to am
[1:43:31] Winter and spring public engagement happening this year in 2023.
[1:43:37] .
[1:43:38] And when will a, uh a report or,
[1:43:42] um
[1:43:43] Hmm. An update be brought back to council.
[1:43:50] Thank you to you, Mr Chair. I'm happy
[1:43:53] to provide some more information Councilor. I know a
[1:43:56] number of things are ongoing and so specifically public engagement
[1:44:01] in spring of two. If that was specific,
[1:44:03] specific action item, we did a lot of work
[1:44:06] in conjunction with the mayor's office and U T m
[1:44:09] right. . So I think
[1:44:11] There has been if that's the program you referring to?
[1:44:13] There's been a lot of movement on some of
[1:44:16] those areas. But if it's a specific action item
[1:44:19] in the plan, , I think
[1:44:22] That's the piece that will have to go back and
[1:44:24] get more info and I'm happy to take it offline.
[1:44:26] It's just a number of a number of residents
[1:44:29] in light of different announcements that have been made you
[1:44:32] TM was one partner as well as um, Trillium
[1:44:37] Health partners, So I think that's where the questions
[1:44:40] from community members have come from. So so I
[1:44:43] don't need an answer necessarily today, but it's just
[1:44:46] something that residents have flagged for me and also different
[1:44:50] organizations. .
[1:44:51] Ah as well. So thank you very much.
[1:44:55] Um, And then just to follow up on the
[1:44:57] don't want to belabor the winter maintenance, But I'm
[1:45:00] I too am in support of taking another look at
[1:45:05] it with regards to, , um not only the equipment
[1:45:09] Um, that we we need to provide, Uh,
[1:45:14] equitably. Uh, no matter what community in
[1:45:19] the city, um, but also to look at
[1:45:21] the service levels. So, um, Jeff,
[1:45:25] you had mentioned that even if we do have a
[1:45:28] report that comes back in
[1:45:31] In the next couple of weeks or months that we
[1:45:34] can look at that you're looking. You are saying
[1:45:37] that we won't necessarily be able to deploy the equipment
[1:45:43] if we were to make the decision to remove the
[1:45:46] wind, rose, But could you also include in
[1:45:49] that report? What can suggestions of what can be
[1:45:53] done? ? Of course. .
[1:45:54] It.
[1:45:55] It will be at potentially at a cost. Um,
[1:45:59] but what could be done in 2023 for this
[1:46:02] for this winter coming forward? Um and that would
[1:46:06] be. I had asked last week for report to
[1:46:09] come back with regards to service levels in parks and
[1:46:13] trails and connections to schools, but also is there
[1:46:17] something that could be done to better align the service
[1:46:20] levels for sidewalk clearing
[1:46:23] Mm. Sidewalk clearing and also, um with regards
[1:46:29] to, um how we collaborate with the region,
[1:46:33] so I am not sure if we now clear all
[1:46:39] regional roads. I'm under the understanding that the region
[1:46:42] continues to clear Dixie. . I could be mistaken. .
[1:46:46] But perhaps there are there's service level through coordination with
[1:46:51] the region and co throwers referenced also by Scott.
[1:46:55] Um, perhaps there's ways that we can through through
[1:46:59] coordination. Look at the service levels with the equipment
[1:47:03] that we do have right now. . I'm not sure
[1:47:06] Um and, uh, also one other thing that
[1:47:14] I did get quite a few emails, not only
[1:47:19] this year, but last year and concerns from residents
[1:47:23] that live along Blur Street and if we are moving
[1:47:28] And I've had them in the past with from residents
[1:47:32] that live up front on two or corner onto Rathburn
[1:47:37] and pony trail, and this has been a as
[1:47:40] a result of a vast moving forward towards planning for
[1:47:45] integrated road projects. As you know, so if
[1:47:49] that could be all part of the report that is
[1:47:52] brought back obviously what the costs are. .
[1:47:55] But what
[1:47:56] Can potentially be done in 2023.
[1:48:02] If we're not able to get and if we do
[1:48:04] decide, and we're not able to get the the
[1:48:06] windrow clearing equipment put in place for winter of 2023.
[1:48:11] How else may we be able to support equitably?
[1:48:15] All all road users, including pedestrians, those
[1:48:20] with accessibility. Those are they're taking transit those that
[1:48:24] are walking to school. .
[1:48:27] Ah, um and so on and so forth.
[1:48:33] Three. Mr Charity counselor Fonseca. So we've obviously
[1:48:36] captured all your comments counselor and will will respond appropriately
[1:48:41] in the winter maintenance report. Um, our focus
[1:48:43] of the report was just on windows. But you've
[1:48:45] asked us now they consider a number of other things
[1:48:47] that we can take a look at in terms of
[1:48:49] the regional service levels and give you the reconfirm that
[1:48:53] breakdown between what the region of peel does. .
[1:48:55] Versus what the city of Mississauga does from winter maintenance
[1:48:58] perspective, and the city does perform services for the
[1:49:01] region, and perhaps I'll seek clarification from the team
[1:49:04] behind me on if you want that information now,
[1:49:06] or would you want it in that report, but
[1:49:09] maybe quickly, Helena Scott, just in terms of
[1:49:11] the service at the region, appeal provides and and
[1:49:14] we'll take all that information Councilor in factor that into
[1:49:17] the report. .
[1:49:18] I'm not sure there would be a lot of support
[1:49:20] we could offer from a windrow perspective. You know,
[1:49:24] in that short time frame between when council could
[1:49:27] decide, Say it. Budget Committee you know,
[1:49:29] in in
[1:49:30] Let's say it's May or June. Whatever the date
[1:49:32] works out to be, Um, and then that
[1:49:35] winter season, you know, we do have our
[1:49:36] windrow program Would that is a separate level of service,
[1:49:40] And that's something that perhaps we could look at
[1:49:42] that and see if there's an opportunity to expand that.
[1:49:45] But that is a resource issue than maybe all
[1:49:48] that. Scott Helen just comment on that piece,
[1:49:50] And I'll just say that the Windrow program that we
[1:49:54] have
[1:49:55] Um and other counselors have referenced it for for seniors
[1:50:00] or those with ability, ability, challenges that have
[1:50:05] applied for that program there, Uh, the service
[1:50:09] levels that we have currently and that we have supported
[1:50:13] being 36 hours after the event is declared complete,
[1:50:19] is just
[1:50:21] I think it's just too much for for those that
[1:50:23] have that have applied for that program. So there's
[1:50:28] that. Potentially there's opportunity there for at least the
[1:50:31] 2023 winter season. Um and also with sidewalk clearing,
[1:50:37] potentially if there's opportunity there and then increasing service
[1:50:41] levels again. .
[1:50:43] Within our trail and park system to to address requests
[1:50:48] that have come from students, So I'm not sure
[1:50:51] if Scott wants to comment really, really briefly or
[1:50:54] Helen. So through chair Mahoney to Councilor Fonseca Scott
[1:50:59] and I'll tag team. I'll do some of the
[1:51:00] answers, and I'll pass the operational based ones more
[1:51:03] to Scott. But Jeff mentioned earlier that we have
[1:51:06] a procurement out right now. .
[1:51:08] And there's actually three elements to that procurement. The
[1:51:11] wind Roses one, but we're also looking for quotes
[1:51:15] on sidewalk snow clearing across the city. Currently,
[1:51:18] we only have priority routes. So we're looking for
[1:51:21] the cost for sidewalk snow clearing citywide, So I
[1:51:24] think that will address some of the questions that you
[1:51:27] have raised this morning. Um and then the third
[1:51:29] element is bicycle lane, , snow removal as well. .
[1:51:33] And so that will be broken down in the report.
[1:51:35] And, as Jeff has mentioned, all the
[1:51:37] other questions that you've raised today will try to incorporate
[1:51:40] in the report as well. But from an operations
[1:51:42] perspective and coordination with the regional past that over to
[1:51:45] Scott, Thank you, Helen through the charity counselor,
[1:51:47] , Fonseca. .
[1:51:48] At this time we do all the maintenance on Queensway
[1:51:51] Catherine Winston Churchill That's part of the regional road. .
[1:51:54] We are in conversation with them to pick up Dixie
[1:51:58] below Queensway just because their resources their only yard is
[1:52:02] copper road, which is it steals in the 4
[1:52:04] 10. .
[1:52:05] So it becomes kind of challenging for them to get
[1:52:07] all the way down here. This is why they
[1:52:08] have access to do that. So we're working on
[1:52:10] an updated agreement to include portions of Dixie. .
[1:52:13] We work very closely. In fact, I had
[1:52:15] a meeting with the region appealed Brampton and Kalinin counterparts.
[1:52:19] We meet every month. People at my level
[1:52:22] we have that discussion to talk about. .
[1:52:23] How we're working together to make sure that we've got
[1:52:26] those timelines in order. So we're keeping an eye
[1:52:29] on that very closely to make sure that we're in
[1:52:31] conversations they provide us updates similar to I do,
[1:52:34] updates for your team and the rest of a lot
[1:52:37] of people here at the city. They do the
[1:52:39] same thing for us and our supervisor team, So
[1:52:41] we know where everybody is and where we are to
[1:52:44] make sure that we're coordinating. .
[1:52:46] When it comes to getting equipment for the 2023 2024
[1:52:50] season. If we get approval in June, it
[1:52:52] will be a supply chain issue for any of those
[1:52:55] equipments. If you've tried to even get a car
[1:52:57] yourself, you know how long did it take?
[1:52:59] So you can imagine this sort of specialist equipment?
[1:53:02] That's why we're giving them that year and a half
[1:53:04] to be able to make sure that they've got the
[1:53:06] equipment in place before we start. .
[1:53:08] The other piece of that If the Windrow program goes
[1:53:12] through, we expect it's about 220 pieces of equipment
[1:53:16] that we would need to do this program. I
[1:53:19] don't have anywhere to put 220 pieces of equipment right
[1:53:22] now. So we are in the works of making
[1:53:25] sure that we've got the room. .
[1:53:27] Same with the sidewalk to do the remainder of the
[1:53:30] sidewalks. Um, that's about another 50 pieces of
[1:53:33] equipment. I believe to be able to handle that.
[1:53:36] So it becomes a capacity thing that we have
[1:53:38] to make sure that we're ready both logistically operationally and
[1:53:42] have staff supported to be able to, , um
[1:53:45] I had those programs if council wishes us to add
[1:53:48] them. .
[1:53:49] Okay. Thank you. I appreciate that. If
[1:53:52] there
[1:53:53] If there's anything that could be done for the 2023
[1:53:55] season, that would be wonderful, and I understand
[1:53:58] the
[1:53:59] The capacity or the the
[1:54:03] The capacity issues and not having somewhere to store all
[1:54:06] of the equipment in place. But thank you very
[1:54:08] much. Thanks for everyone for clarifying. Thank thank
[1:54:11] you, Councilor Franciscan. I assume Jeff when you
[1:54:13] were in there, just trying to follow that.
[1:54:14] Adding to the report a user pay type system for
[1:54:17] wind. Rose. Is that what you were saying?
[1:54:18] That could kind of add some information on how
[1:54:20] that could work or
[1:54:22] Sorry, Harry.
[1:54:23] Remember, you know, like I think Councilor we
[1:54:27] could look at when we present to the options will
[1:54:30] present the cost to do the work. And then
[1:54:33] it becomes a financial discussion in terms of is that
[1:54:35] a tax a tax recovery? User recovery may be
[1:54:39] even more difficult to achieve, But we can look
[1:54:41] at different options and have that conversation that Budget Committee
[1:54:45] appreciate that America Crumby
[1:54:47] Thank you and I for neglected to add two things
[1:54:51] to my inquiries, and I'll kick off announcements if
[1:54:53] I may since I've seen to be the last person
[1:54:55] on the board. .
[1:54:56] Um, I should have said a big thank you
[1:54:59] as well to the road clearing efforts that were done.
[1:55:02] We don't have the equipment to do the windrow
[1:55:04] so we don't so that's it to staff looking at
[1:55:07] the committees. I met with the New Trucking Association
[1:55:10] yesterday, and they are asking when with that might
[1:55:13] get up and moving. If we have terms of
[1:55:15] reference, yet we will be reporting back on that
[1:55:18] in the next couple of weeks. .
[1:55:20] Weeks. Okay, Very good. And then on
[1:55:23] Friday, this is this crosses over between announcements and
[1:55:26] inquiries. So, as you know, the peel
[1:55:29] regional police is hosting along with the police board is
[1:55:32] hosting a summit on car jackings and auto thefts.
[1:55:36] And whereas I try to get everyone invited, they
[1:55:39] kind of said they have limited space and I already
[1:55:41] sent out the invites, but I will report back.
[1:55:43] .
[1:55:44] And the bigger issue is that they need the people
[1:55:47] at the table. Who can make a difference like
[1:55:49] the car manufacturers, insurers, the federal provincial government
[1:55:53] border services, etcetera, so that's what will happen
[1:55:56] on Friday. .
[1:55:58] But as well, I'm wondering, looking at Rob
[1:56:00] North up there. Look at our comms team.
[1:56:02] If you'd be able to work with peel police to
[1:56:05] maybe do a small education and communications campaign project on
[1:56:09] car thefts and prevention tips on top vehicles being stolen
[1:56:14] And what to do with your car is stolen.
[1:56:16] Who you call obviously, , insurance and
[1:56:19] And just to keep our residents informed and engaged.
[1:56:22] Is that something we can look into? I did
[1:56:24] talk about some prevention measures that
[1:56:28] Peel regional police discussed when Councilor Mahoney and I were
[1:56:31] at a community meeting on auto thefts and break ins,
[1:56:35] etcetera, and they said something like a tin
[1:56:38] box at the dollar store could go a long way
[1:56:40] to put your keys in and little foil wrappers for
[1:56:43] spare keys, etcetera. So I wonder if you
[1:56:45] might think about little education campaign on what comes the
[1:56:50] outcomes of the summit on the
[1:56:52] Friday.
[1:56:55] Through the chair to Mayor Crombie. We can take
[1:56:57] a look at that. I think we should see
[1:56:58] what the outcomes of our the of the summit are,
[1:57:01] , Um
[1:57:02] Certainly hot and really lean on, you know,
[1:57:04] Peel police in terms of their information, and then
[1:57:07] we can certainly push it out through all of our
[1:57:09] channels. Thank you. Subject to council direction to
[1:57:12] do something broader. You didn't see how are you
[1:57:14] Didn't see Rob to Ortho approaching the podium. I
[1:57:17] did, but he doesn't need to come down every
[1:57:18] time we talk about communications, so we'll talk about
[1:57:21] announcements now. Just a big thank you to everyone
[1:57:24] involved this morning. . Such
[1:57:26] To the front bench team here are champions are commissioners
[1:57:30] who all joined us and to the councilors who were
[1:57:33] able to make it to communications department. Corporate comms
[1:57:36] who assisted my office. A big big Thank you
[1:57:39] to Natasha. Mystery in my office who was a
[1:57:42] real superstar this morning and I executed this thing flawlessly.
[1:57:46] I know a lot of people help. But
[1:57:48] Natasha was her brainchild. She found the guest speakers
[1:57:52] who were so inspirational. I have to say this
[1:57:54] is my favorite one. . We've had some great
[1:57:56] Speakers in the past, but this was awesome.
[1:57:58] So it just to acknowledge that the two were Lesley
[1:58:01] Hampton and Inish Nabi, breakthrough fashion designer who joined
[1:58:05] us and provided the keynote address. This is a
[1:58:08] young woman that went to U T M, Our
[1:58:11] girl who dresses, big names and every award show
[1:58:14] in the US and the Golden Globes, etcetera.
[1:58:17] A lot of local celebrities like the
[1:58:20] E U E Entertainment tonight. Folks where her talk?
[1:58:25] Yeah, I think that's the one where her
[1:58:27] designs and so she's just so great. And Brianna
[1:58:31] Olson Tawana Kwaht, who was a jingle Dress dancer
[1:58:35] also performed two beautiful dances. She was and also
[1:58:39] talked about her story. .
[1:58:42] The theme this year was embraced Equity, which encourages
