17. Committee of the Whole
17.1 Declaration of the Local State Emergency Southern Peninsula
The Fire Chief / Director Saint John Emergency Measures Organization advised on the
necessity for declaring a local state of emergency for the Southern Peninsula due to the
extreme snowfall to enable the necessary snow plowing and snow removal to move
safely and have accessibility for fire and police apparatus. A 24 / 7 snow ban for 7 days
in the designated area is required to adequately address the snowfall accumulation and
forthcoming snowstorms. Parking can be made available to the affected residents at
Peel Plaza and other designated City parking lots.
On motion of Deputy Mayor Rinehart
Seconded by Councillor McAlary
RESOLVED that a State of Local Emergency is hereby declared
with respect to the following area of the City of Saint John, referred to as the Southern
Peninsula and more particularly described as follows: beginning at the intersection of the
northern sideline of Union Street with the western sideline of St. Patrick Street thence
proceeding southwardly to the intersection of St. Patrick Street and Water Street, thence
in a southwardly direction along the western sideline of Water Street to its intersection
with Broad Street, thence in a eastwardly direction along the southern sideline of Broad
Street to its intersection with Crown Street, thence in a north - eastwardly direction along
the eastern sideline of Crown Street to its intersection with Union Street, thence
westward along the northern sideline of Union Street to the place of beginning, together
with all public streets located south of Broad Street.
The nature of the emergency is the unusual amount of snow lying on the public rights of
way within the area in question and the additional significant snowfall now occurring and
anticipated to occur later this week with the resulting impairment of the City's ability to
deal with the plowing and removal of such snow which significantly compromises the
timely delivery of emergency services to persons and property in the aforesaid area."
WHEREAS in order to maintain public safety and enable access for emergency vehicles,
the City of Saint John has at its Common Council meeting of February 2, 2015 declared
a State of Local Emergency in the Southern Peninsula as the result of current heavy
snow accumulation and anticipated further accumulation in the next several days
together with the need to have accessibility for public safety, all pursuant to the
Emergency Measures Act SNB 2011 c.147; and
WHEREAS the Southern Peninsula includes all areas identified in the aforesaid
Declaration adopted by Common Council earlier this date February 2, 2015; and
WHEREAS the purpose of the declaration is to support more effective snowplowing,
push back and removal; therefore it is hereby resolved that a 24/7 on- street parking ban
is hereby imposed in the Southern Peninsula. This means that no vehicle may be parked
on City streets within that area. Any vehicle parked on such streets will be towed at the
owner's expense commencing at noon on February 3, 2015 subject to the following
provision: as streets within the Southern Peninsula are cleared of snow so as to permit
parking thereon in the assessment of the Deputy Commissioner of Transportation and
Environment for the City that assessment will be communicated to the public and
parking on such streets will be permitted in accordance with applicable bylaws; and
FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that the City Manager is hereby directed to communicate
to the public the aforesaid declaration of the State of Local Emergency and the
associated parking ban together with alternative parking arrangements, by the following
means: news release, paid advertising, City website, Twitter, Facebook ads, Facebook,
Sentinel, email notification, media briefing and any other means he believes to be
efficacious. Information regarding available off - street parking will be provided in a news
release to follow.
