MOTIONS OF WHICH NOTICE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY GIVEN

MOTION

Moved by Councillor McKenney
Seconded by Mayor J. Watson

WHEREAS the City of Ottawa currently is providing encroachment permits to JADCO Inc. and Claridge Homes Inc. to facilitate their residential developments located at the intersection of Nepean Street and Metcalfe Street; and

WHEREAS as construction progresses to the next phase City staff have determined, in consultation with the Provincial Ministry of Labour, that in the interest of public safety a portion of Nepean Street between O’Connor and Metcalfe must be closed to all vehicular, cyclist and pedestrian traffic for approximately 18 months beginning this June to facilitate construction; and

WHEREAS to ensure that construction can continue City staff have worked with both proponents on a traffic mobility plan that includes turning a portion of Nepean Street to two-way traffic; and

WHEREAS the aforementioned change to two-way traffic will increase the probability of pedestrian/bike/vehicle conflict at the intersection of Nepean Street and the O’Connor Street bikeway, an intersection already of concern, as noted by a recent safety audit; and

WHEREAS upon the completion of these two residential towers staff believe that this intersection will require full signalization; and

 WHEREAS the cost of this signalization has been estimated to be approximately $450,000;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the General Manager of Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development be delegated the authority to enter into a cost-sharing agreement with JADCO Inc. and Claridge Homes Inc. with the upset limit of the City’s contribution being $250,000 funded by Right of Way, Heritage and Urban Design Services revenues; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT as part of City staff’s review of the Encroachment By-law currently underway that City staff review how to minimize the impact of temporary construction encroachments on all modes of mobility, including consideration to how pedestrian facilities are maintained throughout zero lot-line development.
