Full RecordingRevise Active Transportation Plan and the Town's Road Designs - Councillor Rogers
Council voted to refer the Active Transportation Network Plan back to a Committee of the Whole meeting for detailed review and discussion on specific design approaches.
"Councillor Rogers argued that the Active Transportation Network Plan (ATNP) implied high-cost projects ($11 million) based too heavily on cycling, lacked integration with new provincial housing density impacts (sidewalks), and that Council needed a detailed workshop (COW) to scrutinize specific designs (bi-directional lanes, concrete barriers) before staff implemented projects. Staff confirmed that design options would return to Council before funding approval, but the motion was supported by a slim majority, ensuring the plan is revisited at COW."
Formal MotionPassed
"THAT the Active Transportation Network Plan and Town's road designs be brought forward to a future Committee of the Whole meeting to discuss bi-directional bicycle lanes, multiuse paths, and concrete cycling barriers."
