UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Delegation: Wm. Allen re: Sidewalk Policy
The Committee discussed at length the views of the residents concerning the
established sidewalk policy especially as it related to Pineneedle Drive.
It was noted by the Director of Public Works that significant changes in the
vertical and horizontal alignment of the sidewalk have been carried out in
the field to accommodate the topography and vegetation. The boulevard in
one instance has been reduced from the standard eleven feet to two feet, and
other adjustments to the boulevard width are proposed in specific areas.
The cross fall of the s i dewa 1 k has been adjusted so that there will be a
slope away from the curb rather than the normal 2% slope towards the curb.
The fact that the sidewalk serves a social function and forms part of an
overall community of benefit to the immediate and surrounding area was
brought to light. The provisions of the subdivision agreement which
requires the installation of sidewalk on the street, that the subject street
does form part of an urban area with a standard urban street configuration
approved were mentioned in the discussion. The need to maintain consistency
with Council's policy, enforced on a fair and reasonable basis over a period
of time was identified.
It was mentioned that the policy itself should be the issue and not just its
application on this particular street and that if a review were to be
carried out, same would have to address the broad sidewalk installation
question and the various factors put forward by the residents in their
presentation.
#31 Moved by Councillor Timpson Seconded by Councillor McKenzie
THAT staff be directed to reevaluate the existing Town policy
respecting sidewalks in light of the comments made by the
delegation and that no action be taken on the sidewalk installation
on Pineneedle Drive until a review of the policy has been
undertaken.
