Mr. Kurt Fry addressed Council in opposition to the implementation of a one -year pilot project to permit parking on boulevards as well as a change in on- street parking enforcement practices, listed as Clause 11 on the Community and Infrastructure Services Committee report. He indicated that it was his understanding that the City was actively encouraging residents to switch to alternative modes of transportation. He expressed concern that the proposal to no longer enforce the over -night on- street parking regulations would perpetuate the status quo of Kitchener being a car - centric COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 15, 2013 -74- CITY OF KITCHENER community. He added that there are no curbs in his neighbourhood, and on- street parking typically causes damages to the front lawns in this area. He requested that Council not support the proposed changes to the City's parking regulations and enforcement practices. On motion by Councillor K. Gal loway - Sealock, seconded by Councillor S. Davey, Clause 11 of the Community and Infrastructure Services Committee report was brought forward for consideration. Councillor P. Singh expressed concerns with allowing parking on the boulevard portion of the driveway apron, as outlined in Paragraph 1 of Clause 11. He stated that the current regulations governing parking are not applied equitably across the City, citing that parking on both sides of a road is permissible on certain streets; while prohibited on others. He commented that those regulations were enacted to address issues specific to those areas. He indicated that the issues necessitating the proposed changes pertain primarily to the lack of parking on the narrow lots that were developed from 1994 to 2004. He noted that those lots are most prevalent in Ward 5 and suggested that it might be preferable to only implement this aspect of the pilot project in that area of the City. Mr. S. Turner, Director of Enforcement, advised that while the proposed pilot project could be applied to just one area, this kind of piecemeal approach would not indicate whether the measures could be viably implemented City -wide. He commented that Enforcement staff receives complaint calls regarding a lack of parking from across the City. He suggested if Council decided to undertake this in only one area it might be prudent to defer implementation to allow time for staff to identify candidate locations and consult the Ward Councillors. He added that regardless of the geographic area to which this is applied, the proposed changes would require amendments to the existing parking regulation by -law. He noted that as boulevard parking would only be permitted from December 1st to March 30th, the amendments would need to be enacted prior to that time. Councillor K. Galloway - Sealock spoke to the importance of undertaking the proposed pilot project, noting that it would provide options to people who have guests that may need to park overnight. She added that parking on the boulevard portion of the driveway apron would only be permitted during the winter months and the vehicle must be fully encompassed on the paved portion of the boulevard. She commented that if it was the will of Council to implement the pilot project in only one area, then she would be open to having it undertaken in Ward 5. A motion was brought forward by Councillor P. Singh, seconded by Councillor F. Etherington, to amend Paragraph 1 of Clause 11 of the Committee report to limit boulevard parking to the geographic area defined as Ward 5 Councillor Galloway - Sealock brought forward an amendment to Councillor Singh's motion, which was accepted as friendly, to have the pilot project only apply to the residential roadways in Ward 5. Councillor Singh's motion, as amended, was then voted on and Carried Unanimously by all members present, on a recorded vote. At the request of Councillor S. Davey, it was agreed to amend the wording of Paragraph 3 of Clause 11 directing staff to report back on the feasibility of a formalized parking exemption process to replace the phrase "that may include" with the word "including" on -line reporting. Councillor Singh questioned the possibility of incorporating a review of the City's overall parking regulations strategy, as part of the report that will be provided on a formalized parking exemption process. Mr. Turner advised that it was staffs' intent to report back on the results of the pilot project and the feasibility of a formalized parking exemption process in approximately one year. Mr. M. May, Deputy CAO — Community Services, responded further that as part of the City's overall customer service strategy, work will be undertaken this year to develop an e- services strategy. He cautioned Council that undertaking the review proposed by Councillor Singh as it would most likely require a capital funding allocation, which should be considered in comparison with the other services that Council may wish to pursue as part of the e- services strategy. He stated that a considerable amount of staff time would be needed to develop a comprehensive parking regulation strategy, which could not be viably pursued without a significant increase in resources within the Enforcement Division. He noted that on -line parking exemption strategy would be brought back in conjunction with the e- services strategy. COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 15, 2013 -75- CITY OF KITCHENER Each Paragraph of Clause 11 of the Community and Infrastructure Services Committee report was then voted on separately on recorded votes.

Mayor Zehr noted that an interested party was in attendance with respect to the notice of motion regarding the proposed closure of the Canada Post facility at the Market Square, listed as Item 8 a) under New Business. Councillor F. Etherington gave notice that he would introduce a motion at the meeting this date objecting to the proposed closure of the postal outlet at the Market Square; thereby, resulting in the only Downtown postal outlet being located at the Shoppers Drug Mart on King Street West. He stated that accordingly, he was requesting that correspondence be sent to Canada Post as well as local area Members of Parliament (MPs) protesting the proposed closure. Mayor Zehr pointed out that there are two standard methods with which correspondence of this nature is distributed, being: a copy of the resolution is forwarded by the Office of the City Clerk to the respective parties; or, the resolution is sent along with a cover letter from the Office of the Mayor and Council. He indicated that subject to Councillor Etherington's motion being approved, he would be willing to draft a cover letter and distribute the requested correspondence. Moved by Councillor F. Etherington Seconded by Councillor P. Singh "WHEREAS Canada Post is currently warning customers that the Downtown Kitchener postal outlet at Market Square is being considered for closure; and, WHEREAS Canada Post is currently requesting feedback on the potential closure; and, WHEREAS hundreds of individuals and corporate customers make use of postal boxes and other postal services at the Market Square outlet; and, WHEREAS the main postal outlet in the Downtown core has, in past years, moved from Duke Street to Gaukel Street and King Street East before opening at Market Square; and, WHEREAS a municipality the size of the City of Kitchener merits having a post office location in its Downtown core; and, WHEREAS the proposed closure would result in the only Downtown postal outlet being located at the Shoppers Drug Mart on King Street West, during a time when huge efforts are being made to renew and improve the core; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that correspondence be sent to Canada Post as well as local area Members of Parliament (MPs) objecting to the proposed closure of the postal outlet at the Market Square." Carried. COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 15, 2013 -76- CITY OF KITCHENER Moved by Councillor K. Gal loway-Sea lock Seconded by Councillor S. Davey "That the report of the Community & Infrastructure Services Committee be adopted." A motion was brought forward by Councillor J. Gazzola, seconded by Councillor Y. Fernandes, to defer Clause 3 of the Committee report to the April 22, 2013 Community and Infrastructure Services Committee meeting to allow for a discussion as to the necessity of decreasing the speed limit on Huron Road Bridge from 50 km /hr. to 40 km /hr. In response to questions, Ms. P. Houston, Deputy CAO — Infrastructure Services, advised that the proposed speed reduction was being recommended to ensure consistency with the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code special provisions for low volume roads, with single lane bridges. Councillor Gazzola's motion to defer Clause 3 of the Committee report to the April 22, 2013 Community and Infrastructure Services Committee meeting was then voted on and was Carried. Councillor Gazzola requested that Clause 6 of the Committee report be voted on separately. A motion was brought forward by Councillor J. Gazzola, seconded by K. Galloway - Sealock, to refer the first phase of the sharrows installation related to the Bicycle Friendly Downtown Initiatives to the April 29, 2013 Council meeting, as outlined in Clause 9 of the Committee report. Questions were raised as to whether the proposed referral would prevent the sharrows from being installed in time for BikeFest on May 26, 2013. Ms. Houston advised that Transportation Services staff have indicated that even with the proposed referral, the sharrows should still be able to be installed within the established timeframe. Councillor Gazzola's motion to refer the first phase of the sharrows installation related to the Bicycle Friendly Downtown Initiatives to the April 29, 2013 Council meeting was then voted on and Carried Unanimously by all members present. In reference to Clause 10 of the Committee report, Councillor Galloway - Sealock advised that additional information was received indicating that it would be premature to implement the School Zone 40 km /hr. Speed Limit Pilot Project on Parkvale Drive and Woodbine Avenue, as the full road network is not yet in place in this school area. A motion was brought forward by Councillor P. Singh, seconded by K. Gal loway - Sealock, to amend Clause 10 of the Committee report to provide for the installation of two flashing beacons at MacKenzie King Public School on Natchez Road as part of the School Zone 40 km /hr. Speed Limit Pilot Project. Councillor Singh advised that installing flashing beacon controls at that location, would allow for additional information to be garnered as part of the Pilot Project with respect to the effectiveness of those types of control measures. Councillor Singh's amendment was then voted on and was Carried. The Community and Infrastructure Services Committee report was then voted on Clause by Clause Clause 3 — Carried, as amended.
