6. DELEGATIONS –
6.a. Bike Lanes – David Bergey Drive
Mr. M. El-Sharnouby addressed Council in opposition to the recommendation to install bicycle lanes
and prohibit parking on both sides of David Bergey Drive, listed as Clause 10 of the Community and
Infrastructure Services Committee report. He noted he is speaking on behalf the residents of 20
David Bergey Drive and 177 David Bergey Drive who are in opposition to the removal of on-street
parking. After his review of the City’s Traffic Calming Policy, his opinion is that City staff has not
followed the approved policy in making a recommendation for the installation of cycling lanes and to
prohibit on-street parking. He stated the Policy also requires 50% of the residents residing on the
street to be in favour of the traffic calming measures for the proposed measures to be implemented
and, in this case, indicated approximately 60% of the residents are in opposition to the prohibition of
on-street parking. Mr. El-Sharnouby reviewed the revised staff report, which states at peak times
there is an average of 7 cars parked on the street. He circulated photos commenting during peak
hours there are regularly in excess of 10 cars parked on the street. He further advised the Laurentian
Wetlands is a destination attraction where people park for several hours on David Bergey Drive,
adding to the congestion with other on-street parking. Mr. El-Sharnouby stated the installation of
cycling facilities and the removal of on-street parking would not improve the street’s traffic speeds.
He suggested speed cushions as a possible alternative to traffic calming on David Bergey Drive
rather than cycling facilities.
In response to questions, Mr. El-Sharnouby advised he is not in opposition to the installation of
cycling facilities if there was a way to maintain on-street parking as well. He further advised if on-
street parking was prohibited on David Bergey Drive, the closest on-street parking option available
would be in excess of 300m away from 20 David Bergey Drive.
Mr. J. Lopes addressed Council also in opposition to the recommendation to install bicycle lanes and
prohibit parking on both sides of David Bergey Drive. He indicated David Bergey Drive is a high-
density area with minimal availability for overflow parking. He expressed concerns with traffic speeds
on the street, noting speeds have been identified in excess of 80/kmh. He indicated the loss of on-
street parking may add to the concerns related to traffic.
In response to questions, Mr. K. Carmichael, Interim Director, Transportation Services, advised the
process for installation of cycling facilities differs from the Traffic Calming Policy as the Cycling
Master Plan is already approved. He indicated when facilities are being proposed, staff would notify
the residents regarding the implementation but would not actively seek feedback. He further advised
COUNCIL MINUTES
MAY 15, 2017 -83 - CITY OF KITCHENER
when streets have been identified for a traffic calming review it is always the preferred option to install
the cycling facilities in advance of the review as cycling lanes often change the traffic conditions. He
noted if cycling infrastructure was installed following the review, it may adversely impact the traffic
calming measures that were implemented. He further advised if the processes were reversed and the
traffic calming review was completed first, it may compromise staff’s ability to install the cycling
infrastructure after the completion of the review.
Questions were raised regarding the financial implications of installing a parking bay on David Bergey
Drive. Mr. Carmichael advised staff have confirmed with the Engineering Division an approximate
cost of $30,000. He indicated there would be additional costs for maintenance and snow removal,
also noting there is no funding available for the installation of a parking bay.
A motion was brought forward by Councillor B. Ioannidis, seconded by Councillor S. Marsh, to
approve Clause 10 of the Community and Infrastructure Services Committee report.
An amendment was brought forward by Councillor K. Galloway-Sealock, seconded by Councillor P.
Singh, to include an additional clause for the installation of a parking bay to accommodate 7 to 10
parking spaces in close proximity of 20 David Bergey Drive, to be funded one-third each through the
Cycling, Traffic Calming and Parks budgets.
Questions were raised regarding other possible funding sources for the parking bay. In response, Mr.
D. Chapman, Deputy CAO, Finance and Corporate Services, advised another possible funding
source could be Capital Contingency. He noted there is $180,000 allocated annually to this fund and
although staff would not recommend funding larger projects through the Capital Contingency, the
amount is modest and it may be appropriate.
The meeting then recessed at 8:44 p.m. and reconvened at 8:50 p.m., chaired by Mayor B. Vrbanovic
with all members present.
A motion was brought forward by Councillor K. Galloway-Sealock, seconded by Councillor S. Davey,
to defer this matter pending completion of the Region of Waterloo’s Ottawa Street South
Reconstruction project scheduled for 2018/2019, which includes the installation of cycling lanes that
may connect to those proposed for David Bergey Drive.
In response to questions, Mr. C. Goodeve, Manager Council and Committee Services / Deputy Clerk,
advised the deferral motion would take precedence over the motion to amend and would not be out of
order.

Seconded by Councillor S. Davey
