New snow routes
Council agreed to add several more designated snow routes, including McKinley Beach, North Clifton Road and the South Mission. Snow routes are designated areas that are typically more challenging for snow removal due to elevation, road width, numerous cul-de-sacs, etc. Within a designated snow route, an on-street parking ban may be issued during a significant snowfall. Snow routes already exist on Dilworth Mountain, Black Mountain, Kirschner Mountain, the Ponds and Wilden-Magic Estates.
Parks funding
A new development cost charge, paid by developers to offset some of the infrastructure expenditures incurred to service new growth, was approved by Council to support parks development. Read the full report here.
Doyle Avenue redevelopment
Council received an update on the redevelopment plan for the former downtown RCMP detachment site at 350 Doyle Avenue. Staff are reviewing proposals received through the Request For Proposals process and staff will recommend a preferred proponent to lead the redevelopment of the site for Council consideration at an in-camera meeting in November. The successful proponent is expected to be announced in early 2020. Read the full report here.
Council meeting schedule
Council approved its meeting schedule for 2020, which includes 33 Monday meetings and 18 public hearings. Council agreed to look at additional public hearing dates should the need arise.
