WHEREAS the Province of Ontario has announced in the 2006 Budget that it is providing a one-time investment of $400 million to help municipalities primarily outside the Greater Toronto Area, with special emphasis on rural and northern communities, invest in municipal roads and bridges;

 

AND WHEREAS $33 million has been allocated to the City of Ottawa so that high priority projects can get underway as soon as possible in the upcoming construction season;

 

AND WHEREAS the numerous freeze-thaw cycles experienced this winter have contributed to accelerating the deterioration of the roads, some to the point where they have become nearly impassable due to the number of potholes and significant frost heaving;

 

AND WHEREAS the road network has reached a level of just over 20% that is now deemed to be in need of some form of rehabilitation, but that current funding levels provide less than 60 % of the funding necessary to maintain the road network;

 

BE IT RESOLVED that $10 million of the $33 million received from the Province be allocated immediately to road rehabilitation in order to address the roads that are in the worst condition this year and that the balance of the funds be the subject of future budget discussions.

 

 

Moved by Councillor P. Hume

Seconded by Councillor M. McRae

 

WHEREAS the Alta Vista Drive Residents Association (AVDRA) has been working diligently to ensure the thousands of cars that use Alta Vista Drive every day respect the speed limit;

 

AND WHEREAS the AVDRA are working with City Staff to commence an Area Traffic Management Plan for Alta Vista Drive that will work to curb aggressive driving;

 

AND WHEREAS research conducted by the AVDRA has demonstrated that, in other jurisdictions, photo radar is effective in ensuring that drivers respect the posted speed limit;

 

AND WHEREAS since the current Provincial legislation does not allow the use of photo radar on City streets the AVDRA approached the MPP for Alta Vista Drive – Premier Dalton McGuinty on the issue of the use of photo radar;

 

AND WHEREAS an Assistant to the Premier, Jackie Coquette, responding in an email to the concerns of the AVDRA with the following – “The Ministry will consider the use of photo radar on a case by case basis, at the request of municipalities. Therefore, your best course of action at this point is to lobby the City Council and ask them to approach the Ministry of Transportation with this request.”;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that, in accordance with the Direction from the Office of the Premier, City Council requests the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario to allow the use of photo radar on City streets such as Alta Vista Drive & McCarthy Road.
