  That the Rules of Procedure be Suspended to consider the following motion as it is the last meeting before the summer legislative break. 
  WHEREAS during the convoy occupation in February of 2022 the MacDonald – Cartier Bridge south bound off ramp at Dalhousie Street was closed to all traffic; 
  WHEREAS this closure eliminated all commuter traffic who travel from the province of Quebec towards Highway 417 and who use Dalhousie Street to bypass King Edward Avenue to access Highway 417;
  WHEREAS staff have conducted origin/destination traffic studies in March 2022 which indicated that in the morning and afternoon rush-hour, 56% and 40%, respectively, of traffic use of the southbound off ramp to Dalhousie Street used Dalhousie to connect from MacDonald Cartier bridge to the Highway 417 on ramp at Nicholas Street;
  WHEREAS through conversations held with the Lowertown Community Association we have learned that this increase in traffic on Dalhousie Street has placed increased undue pressure on the residential areas of Lowertown;
  WHEREAS the Lowertown Community Association has written a letter to Councillor Fleury requesting that traffic in the AM period be restricted from travelling south on Dalhousie Street as a month-long pilot;
  WHEREAS the local Ward Councillor, Community Association, By-Ward Market BIA, Ottawa Markets and Traffic Services Staff met on 29 June 2022 to discuss concerns on increased traffic volume and traffic speeds on the residential portion of Dalhousie Street and there is a desire to work collaboratively to ensure that impacts of this pilot are properly captured and shared;
  WHEREAS the local Ward Councillor, Community Association,  are requesting that a pilot program be implemented with the intent to inform decisions that would bring relief to residential areas of Lowertown experiencing increased levels of traffic. 
  WHEREAS a one month pilot that would prohibit the southbound movement on Dalhousie Street and Boteler Street could be evaluated to determine all impacts of this closure;
  WHEREAS Traffic Services staff have completed a review of implications of the through prohibition on Dalhousie Street at Boteler Street and have indicated that the alternate routes of King Edward Avenue or Sussex Drive can accommodate the additional morning traffic that would be diverted from this through prohibition. 
  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that a pilot closure of southbound traffic be conducted during the month of August 2022 to place a morning time constraint on the use of the Southbound exit from the MacDonald Cartier bridge onto Dalhousie Street at Boteler Street only, between the hours of 6:30 and 9:30am;

  THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if at any time during the pilot period the Director of Traffic Services deems that the prohibition of the through traffic movement has unduly impacted traffic in the area, the Director shall have authority to remove the prohibition.  
  THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED if consensus is that there is merit to extend the prohibition, it will be extended until such a time that traffic services staff brings forward a report to Transportation Committee by the end of Q1 2023 with a recommendation to permanently implement the morning peak movement restriction.

Inquiries

27.1

Councillor M. Fleury (OCC 22-09)

The Tree Protection By-law took effect on January 1, 2021, and was developed in response to community feedback and recommendations for the City’s Urban Forest Management Plan. 
The intent is for the City to retain better, replace and renew the urban forest canopy. 
Specifically, under the Tree Protection By-law, one of the following protected trees cannot be injured or removed without a tree permit from the City:
•    All trees 10 cm or more in diameter at breast height on private properties within the urban area that are subject to a Planning Act application for Site Plan, Plan of Subdivision, or Plan of Condominium
Before and after enacting the new bylaw, residents, or myself, have caught developers cutting before obtaining a tree permit or having them reviewed for removal. 
In some cases, removal is suggested on a landscape plan, but the contractor or developer cuts before the permits are in hand. 
In Ward 12, we have caught this occurring through applications at the Committee of Adjustment and planning, and site plan applications are still in the approval stage. 
With a delicate and dwindling urban tree canopy, we can not have this continue to occur. The mature trees removed are either not replaced at all due to the proposed development or are replaced with a less desirable, smaller, or very young tree, which takes years to grow to maturity and offers the benefits of the mature tree lost. 
 
Questions:

1. What is the recourse when a tree is cut down before issuing a permit?
2. Is there a penalty for no permit? If not, why?
3. If suggested trees for removal are on a landscape plan, but the plan is not yet approved, what is the recourse for the removal, pre-approval?
4. What is the number of trees cut down, pre-permit issued to date, and what were the fines/compensation to the offender?
5. How effective has the new tree bylaw been in capturing “all trees 10 cm or more in diameter at breast height on private properties within the urban area that are subject to a Planning Act application for Site Plan, Plan of Subdivision, or Plan of Condominium?”
6. What is the recourse for a tree cut down on the private property that should be subject to the bylaw?
