Moved by Councillor R. Chiarelli

Seconded by Councillor K. Hobbs

THAT the Rules of Procedure be waived, due to the fact that the next Council meeting is August 24, 2011 and the community is anxious to see a resolution to this matter, to consider the following motion:

WHEREAS in 2007, the Ward Councillor began meeting with Bells Corners businesses to address the decline of the Bells Corners business district and the result of these meetings was the identification of a series of initiatives, including the formation of a Bells Corners Business Improvement Area; and

WHEREAS a number of these initiatives have already been implemented and many are still to come; and

WHEREAS the unification of the main street of the Bells Corners strip from the split, two road names (Richmond/Robertson) into one single new road name was determined to be one desirable component supporting a number of these initiatives; and

WHEREAS one road name through the strip would allow businesses which currently front on the strip but have addresses which are officially on side streets (eg Northside, Stafford, Lynhar etc), to be readdressed onto the main strip and to receive a main street address; and

WHEREAS one road name would allow Bells Corners businesses to advertise simple street addresses instead of "landmark directions", something valuable especially when attempting to attract customers from outside the Capital who may not be familiar with the area; and

WHEREAS the matter, along with the series of proposed initiatives, was discussed at the BIA's Annual General meeting over one year ago; and

WHEREAS in May 2010 Council passed a motion opening up a public comment period on the proposed motion to unify the main street of the Bells Corners strip from the split, two road names (Richmond/Robertson) into one single new road name "Lloyd Francis", with such comment period lasting nearly a full year; and

WHEREAS emergency services supported the measure on the basis of reducing road name confusion, especially on the part of callers reporting emergencies who now make such calls on mobile phones and sometimes are not sure about the road on which they are located; and

WHEREAS through the course of the extended comment period, several city-wide news stories appeared in local print, radio and television media detailing the proposal and reminding residents of the opportunity to comment; affected parties along the strip were also surveyed; the City published ads in the Ottawa Citizen twice and in Le Droit offering residents the opportunity to be heard on the proposal; and the largest community association in Bells Corner held a public meeting on the matter a week before Planning Committee's consideration of the matter; and

WHEREAS the formal report recommending the name change was publicized in advance through the ward Councillor's newsletters and website; and

WHEREAS, through the course of the comment period several residents submitted comments, approximately one dozen appeared at committee and fewer than ten at the community meeting; and

WHEREAS on April 13, 2011, based on the feedback to date and the staff report, Council approved the recommendation renaming the strip "Lloyd Francis Blvd"; and

WHEREAS, following Council approval, residents and businesses submitted brand new and significant levels of input; and

WHEREAS the large majority of this input requested that Council change its position and adopt a position that would preserve the Robertson name on the main strip; and

WHEREAS Council wishes to continue and expand the official commemoration of John Robertson while, at the same time assisting in the revitalization of Bells Corners; and

WHEREAS the Ward Councillor joined with the former Mayor of Nepean to assemble a compromise that would help advance the goals associated with revitalizing the Bells Corners commercial strip; and

WHEREAS in consultation with other members of Council and staff and after much discussion, a compromise was reached involving the Francis family, the Roberston family, Emergency Services, the BIA and the Ward Councillor such that the compromise meets the central request of the overwhelming majority of Bells Corners residents and businesses as expressed through the period since the passing of the Council motion - that being the preservation of the Roberston name;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council, understanding that revisiting its April 13, 2011 decision will need to be approved by ¾ of those present and voting, approve that the split road through the Bells Corners strip, specifically Richmond Road from Baseline Road to the intersection of Richmond Rd and Richmond Rd at Robertson Rd be renamed to become an extension of Robertson Road whereby the entire main street from Baseline Road to Eagleson Road will be named Robertson Road in accordance with the compromise reached involving the Francis family, the Roberston family, Emergency Services, the former Mayor of Nepean, the BIA, the Ward Councillor and others; and the corresponding change to the Richmond Road Phase 2 (ACS2011-ICS-PGM-0113) also be made as a technical amendment; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT buildings on the main Bells Corners strip currently having frontage on Richmond Road or Robertson Road, but which have official addresses on side streets, be given the opportunity, with staff’s concurrence, to be readdressed with a main street, Robertson Road address;
