RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Conseil approuve que l’on prenne connaissance du rapport sur l’examen par le personnel de la proposition d’Urbandale concernant le transport en commun rapide à la réunion conjointe du Comité des transports et du Comité du transport en commun le 7 novembre 2007.

 

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

At the Transportation Committee meeting held on October 3, 2007, the Rules of Procedure were suspended to consider the following motion brought forward by Councillor Cullen:

 

Whereas at its meeting of 12 September 2007 City Council directed staff to review the Urbandale Proposal for rapid transit in Ottawa and report back to Committee by October 2007 on the appropriateness of the corridors, recommendations on modifications of the corridors including expansion to Kanata and across the Strandherd Bridge to Barrhaven, and a timetable to undertake any additional or modifications of studies to implement such a network;

 

And whereas staff are currently reviewing in detail the proposal and its implications for the entire transit network and require further time to come forward with a well-researched analysis;

 

Therefore be it resolved that the report be received at a joint meeting of the Transit and Transportation Committees on November 7th.

 

At that time, the Committee unanimously approved the aforementioned Motion and agreed that it be forwarded to City Council for its consideration on 10 October 2007.

 

 

CONSULTATION

 

No consultation was undertaken because this motion was brought forward at the meeting for consideration.
