Hello,
The Saint John Human Development Council has applied to a Federal funding stream in order to conduct
24 hour point in time count of the homeless population in Saint John on behalf of the Community
Council on Homelessness (CCH). The CCH is a group of community organizations and government
departments who work to support the homeless and at -risk populations, for more information on the
CCH visit, sjhomelessness.wordpress.com. While the application has been submitted, it has been
requested that we provide a letter of support from the city in support of our application to conduct a 24
hour point in time count of the homeless population.
The count must take place in the first 60 days of the New Year, and will be done in conjunction with
point in time counts taking place in Moncton and Fredericton. The activity is research driven and will
provide our community, and in particular those who support and respond to issues faced by the
homeless and at risk of homelessness populations, with a better understanding of homeless issues in
our city. Our results will be included in a national study, as many communities across Canada will be
participating in the same research activity using a shared methodology, and the results will also be made
available at the local level.
We are not asking for funding or in -kind support for this event, although we anticipate working with our
community police officers at the time of the count. We simply need the cities acknowledgment and
general support for the event.
Thank you for your consideration,

Subject: Point in Time Count
To whom it may concern,
I am writing you today to offer the City's support towards the Human Development Council's
application for funding to conduct a 24 hour point in time count of the homeless population in
Saint John.
We look forward to receiving data to better understand homelessness in Saint John, with the
caveat that the point in time count is entirely research- driven, conducted in a respectful manner
while upholding the dignity of all those involved.
Sincerely,
Mayor Mel Norton

Mayor Norton and Members of Common Council:
Saint John has a concentration of specific and stubborn literacy issues.
Canada, as a whole, is falling behind the OEDC group in adult literacy and New Brunswick is second from
the bottom in Canada even though our spending on education per child is equal to the national average.
New Brunswick has 56% of Anglophone adults and 64% Francophone adults reading below level 3, the
ability to read and comprehend a training manual. We continue to feed this statistic by failing to
address poor literacy scores during early childhood. UNB's Dr. Doug Willms confirms that first we 'Learn
to Read' and then 'Read to Learn' and if children do not read at grade level by the end of Grade 2 their
future academics and their future employment is extremely jeopardized. Long term research indicates
that 60% of children who do not read at grade level by Grade 2 mature into adults who will rely on
some form of social assistance. Imagine the cost to government, for business and the impact on New
Brunswick's economic development. A skilled and educated workforce is absolutely critical to growing
the economy of New Brunswick.
I am a Co -Chair of Achieve Literacy Greater Saint John, a committee representing Saint John business,
Elementary Literacy Friends Inc., the Business Community Anti - Poverty Initiative, PALS and the local
school district. Our mandate summarized is to ensure that the right resources and strategies are in place
from Kindergarten to Grade 2 to ensure 90% of Grade 2 children are reading at grade level.
I am requesting an opportunity for us to present to the Mayor and Council the following:
• Achieve Literacy Greater Saint John mandate
• Report on what we have accomplished
• Strategies for moving forward
Please advise a date and time that would be possible for us to present to the Mayor and Council.
Thank you,

Dear Mayor and Council,
My nephew rents from the Deblys ,an apartment in Uptown and another cousin rents one on Prince
Edward Street and they are terrible buildings.
When you drive by Deblys off Ashburn Drive area it looks a mess -No pride in the city at all.] do not think
our city dollars should go in any way to a company that has no pride in Saint John and that runs such run
down buildings and businesses. Please stop accepting contracts from the Deblys.

Mr. Mayor and Councillors,
Thank you for welcoming Public Health to present to you on the benefits of the
City of Saint John becoming a Breastfeeding - Friendly Community. Our
expectations were exceeded when His Worship signed the pledge immediately
after the presentation. We are very pleased that council has decided to commit
to promoting and normalizing breastfeeding, an act which enhances the
wellbeing of all its citizens.
We would like to offer on -going support to you in your efforts to fulfill the
commitments outlined in the breastfeeding community pledge. If you would
like additional information or resources, including print materials for municipal
buildings, please let us know.
We would also like to help recognize and promote the City of Saint John as being
a Breastfeeding - Friendly Community. You are now listed in Government of New
Brunswick's Provincial Directory -
http: / /www2.0b.ca / content/ dam/ gnb / Departments/ h-
s /Pdf /en /HealtheT�ple/ BFI/ friendlyplaces /SaintjohnSouthWest.pdf - and we
would like to include you in a new breastfeeding campaign that is being
launched this month.
As part of Public Health's social awareness initiative Breastfeed Anywhere, we
will be placing life -sized cut outs of local breastfeeding mothers in various
locations in Saint John. The goal is to help normalize breastfeeding in our
community and gather support from the public by encouraging them to take
photos (selfies) with the images and share to social media at #BreastfeedHereNB.

We would like to arrange a photo op with Mayor Mel Norton and one of the
breastfeeding cut outs. We would then ask the Mayor to share his "selfie" to the
City of Saint John's social media accounts to demonstrate support and highlight
the City as being a Breastfeeding - Friendly Community.
Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to working with you
further.

Re: $50,000 Investment
On October 23, 2011, the City of Saint John invested $50,000 for a term of 4 years at an
interest rate of 3 %. The investment will complete its term on October 23, 2015. The
interest earned for the four year period is $6,275.44.
The City of Saint John has five options regarding this investment:
a) Withdraw the investment with interest earned; $56,275.44
b) Withdraw the interest only and re- invest the principal for another term
C) Donate the interest earned and re- invest the $50,000
d) Re- invest principal and interest for another term
If you have any questions for me please do not hesitate to ask. Of course, I favor option c)
as this always allows us to leverage more lending by building our reserve.
This September we celebrated our 15th Annual General Meeting. I've enclosed this year's
Annual Report for your review. Our impact includes more than 4000 people building skills
in financial literacy and enterprise development. Over 100 business launched, 150 people
back to work and much more. We are also just starting to build the Social Enterprise Hub
where enterprising non - profits, micro - enterprises and social enterprises will co- locate to
scale innovative and entrepreneurial solutions for poverty reduction.
I look forward to our continued partnership in building a strong and vibrant Saint John.
Sincerely,

Executive Report
The Loan Fund started this Fiscal year with a bang, hosting the Social Enterprise
Dialogue in April 2014. It followed another great International Women's Day
gathering in March. A significant achievement; back to back conferences with
close to 400 people gathered over the two events. We brought in some great
sponsors and worked with a great partner, the Pond Deshpande Centre. Our
very own Learning Exchange won the pitch competition pitching their work
with Voila and Stone Soup, two social enterprises transitioning people to work.
This was a fitting kick off to the year as we gathered more steam around social
enterprise development, signing a contract with the Learning Exchange later in
the year to develop social enterprise awareness and skills as part of a five year
project to scale work already started in their WorkLinks program. They also
play a key role in moving the Social Enterprise Hub closer to start up. During
the year we were able to bring on another host of sponsors thanks to Gerry
Pond, Christina Fowler and Mandy Burke Evans. Its clear this project has legs
and will become a foundation for more creativity and entrepreneurship in our
sector.
An important horizon was met this year, that of Enterprising Women, a busi-
V
ness development training program for women which had been funded by the
Canadian Women's Foundation for five years. Besides funding the program,
Q
the Foundation also supported capacity building by funding annual skill build-
ing conferences that many of our staff participated in. Multi-year funding plus
capacity building is unique and exactly what is required to foster innovation
and strengthen the sector. eXcel, the coaching program that sintered eW, also
wound down after 3 years of funding from Status of Women. A proposal to the
CWF earned us a transitional year of funding to pilot a new enterprise develop-
O
ment program that merges micro and social enterprise modules with new
.�p
thinking in business modelling.
V
We would be remiss not to speak of the wonderful seven year partnership with
the Urban Core Support Network in which we were contracted to help develop
and facilitate Power Up to more than 200 courageous women. It was an honor
and we applaud the launch of the Women's Empowerment Network which will
deliver this program going forward.
cri
•
As we closed this year out we are very happy to have the United Way make the
L
decision to support our upcoming year, one which will see us review our loans
program to enhance outcomes, where we will pilot new programming for both
micro and social enterprise development, expand our Black Book Expense

Tracker, and of course, build the Social Enterprise Hub. As always, we want to

push ourselves to do more and better as we build an enterprising culture for
poverty reduction.

Loans
The Loan Fund received 129 inquiries in Fiscal 2015 with the bulk of the requests com-
ing for urgent housing, personal items and arrears. Most of these requests we cannot
answer because the loan does not create a margin of income for improving the individ-
ual's situation, and as it follows, they would not have the capacity to repay the loan. In
these cases we refer individuals to organizations like the Salvation Army, Romero
House, Fresh Start , Outflow and others. We did disburse ten loans during the year
totalling close to $6,000; six were income generating and four for housing. Overall
we've disbursed over $412,000 in loans over the years, of that, more than 53% have
been repaid. While its gratifying we've had a lot repaid, we have written off 31 %. Can
we do better? And can we find new opportunities to move more capital and help more
people? We have begun a process to answer those very questions. We are reviewing
the Loans Program, and as part of that we will be consulting with past borrowers who
have been both successful and not so successful. We will look at new markets, especia
ly the growth of the social enterprise sector.
loan support is key
21 5
The purpose of our loans is specifically to help individuals go after opportunity to improve
their situation. We want to see an improvement in income and assets. Many adults in Cana-
da struggle through the financial and emotional trauma of separation and divorce, and then
4—)
must work hard to rebuild. Genevieve Sweigard found herself there and reached out for
V
help.
She came to the Loan Fund as she transitioned herself and her son to better housing. Provid-
ing both rent and a full damage deposit is challenging for anyone on a budget. We helped;
twice, in fact. She had to move from her first apartment due to mold, but was determined to
find adequate housing for herself and her son. She prevailed and found something within her
budget and repaid her loan in half the time. Stability provided opportunity.
"The Loan Fund helped with the loans, but just as important was Joe's support and our talks
about financing and budgeting," explains Genevieve. "As a single parent the support has
been invaluable, and where my son and I are today is a direct result of the support I got at
the right time from the Loan Fund."
Genevieve works in the insurance industry now, is going for her driver's permit and as she
says, she's "on track for home ownership in five years."

Social Enterprise
Development Dialogue
2014
The Saint John Community Loan Fund, in association
with the Pond - Deshpande Centre, co- hosted the
second annual Social Enterprise Development Dia-
logue in Saint John. This event aims to foster collab-
oration and innovation in the social enterprise eco-
system by bringing together key players from all
sectors.
The 2014 event was held over 2 days and included
mentor minutes, a pitch competition, round tables,
speakers, workshops and panel discussions on a
range of topics in social entrepreneurship.
Close to 200 people participated in the event, from
all the Atlantic Provinces as well as Toronto and
Boston. Local social enterprises and B -Corps
provided services, including Taco Pica Restaurant,
Red Rover Cider, Voila Cleaning Services. The Loan
Fund, along with a few other lucky participants,
received graphic notes from the event created by
Scott McAfee (pictured top right).

The Loan Fund has embarked on a five year project with the Saint John Learning Exchange to build social enterprises in \NorkUnks
Saint John. The idea will be promoted through 'social enter-
prise 101' sessions, followed by intensive training to build
sound business models and business plans for financing.
Making connections to build a stronger worldorce
The goal is to launch 5 -6 new enterprises similar to Voila
Cleaning Services and Stone Soup Catering. Social enterprises
can help transition individuals to work and eventually scale L
and generate income for the non - profits that launch them. 0
The Saint John Learning Exchange will be closely evaluating N
the outcomes as they build a social return on investment 0
model for this work. The Loan Fund is pleased to be partner- 0
ing with such an enterprising non - profit!

The Social Enterprise Hui
We broke ground! The Loan Fund did some exploratory
excavation last fall to better understand the rock for-
mation and project the cost for foundation work and
budget for future construction. It also helped build en-
thusiasm to recruit more financing for the project.
,101
The Hub will scale the impact of the Loan Fund and partner- -�
ing organizations. Bringing creativity and collaboration to a
priority neighbourhood, it will also house micro - enterprises
launched through Loan Fund program and continue to lev-
erage social enterprise development.
Key sponsors that helped get the ball rolling included the
Regional Development Corporation, Sir James Dunn Foun-
dation and Gerry Pond. They helped bring on the Sisters of
Charity, Great West, Saint John Real Estate Association, Pe-
ter Buckley, Gregor Hope, Easy Klean, and Wyndham. And
as we started Fiscal 2016 Frank McKenna, TD Bank, McCain
Foundation and ACOA joined to make building possible this
coming year.
Our tenant partners include the Atlantic Coastal Action Pro-
gram, Human Development Council, SJ Learning Exchange,
Pond Deshpande Centre, Dione Cosmetics, Voila Cleaning
and Stone Soup. Interested in joining the Hub? Call us!

nterprising Women

WOMEN'S
Nine groups of female entrepreneurs have graduated from the Enterprising Women Program FOUNDATION
since 2009. These women have achieved a range of personal and professional milestones, are
building their assets and working toward their economic independence. A number of these
graduates have created exciting and important businesses that are leading innovation in our
city and beyond.
After five years of delivery, Enterprising Women was put on hold to take time to analyze the
0—
data, review results, and renew the program. Melanie Vautour, who helped develop and then
C_
delivered eW since the very beginning, moved on to become the Director of Development for a
V�
YWCA in Saint John. Her impact on the eW program and the Loan Fund will continue to inform

Women, sales were low. I had no real plans, no credit, no savings
and we were living month to month."

Enterprising Women helped her gain confidence in herself and her product

"After learning how to treat my business like a real business, it is thriving. My work is in over 60 stores in three coun-
tries!" Her designs are trendsetting and she is on the cusp of scaling up her business once again.
But it isn't just her business that's flourishing. "I have a much nicer apartment in a safer area, an office and studio
space that I rent, savings in the bank and I have finally established good credit." Way to go, Monica! 8

Early in the delivery of Enterprising Women (eW) it became apparent that outcomes for pro -
500 gram graduates would be greatly impacted by providing one -on -one coaching and peer support.
eXcel was introduced and the women entrepreneurs gained access to 2 years of coaching, peer
networking, workshops and special events.
0 After 3 years of eXcel, the Status of Women funding ended and the Canadian Women's Founda-
Nlion released its report, along with outcomes for eW. It was clear that the two programs are
0 necessarily intertwined. The coaching , peer supports and continued learning opportunities

Money Matters is a financial literacy program. It helps participants to better manage
their money, and to be more aware of their spending habits. There are five modules to
the program, with each module being delivered one morning or afternoon per week.
The modules are assets, budgeting, consumerism, banking and credit. Participants learn
about needs and wants, how to avoid impulse buying, how to create their own personal
budget, and how to make their dollars stretch!
Money Matters uses "The Black Book ", a tool that was created by the Loan Fund to help
people track their purchases and discover where they're spending their money. The in-
formation and realizations gained from this exercise can be very empowering for partici-
pants.
Money Matters has been delivered at numerous partner organizations, including high
schools, throughout the Saint John area. Hundreds of people participate and complete
either the full program or a partial program. It is life- changing for anyone to learn to
better manage their money!

A$$ETS
A$$ETS (Acquiring Savings & Skills for Employment, Training and Self- sufficiency) is a full
year program that helps individuals build skills and provides support in areas such as
personal asset mapping, goal setting and employment preparation. Participants also
build financial assets through the Loan Fund's matched savings, which offers 3:1 match-
ing with deposits they make into a joint account held at the credit union. Participants
can access up to $960 to acquire assets if they save the maximum every month.
This year the program also integrated personal wellness skills, with classes on healthy
eating, work life balance, handling stress, and a session at the grocery store with a dieti-
cian to learn more about eating healthy on a budget.
In January of 2014 a new group of 10 women started the A$$ETS program. The program
was a great success with the graduation taking place in December at the Phoenix Dinner
Theatre. All of the six participants who graduated achieved both short -term and long-
term goals. One graduate is in the beginning stages of self - employment and has already
made a profit from her business. Four others are employed full time while another grad-
uate passed her GED on her first attempt and will be attending NBCC in September.

Jamie, a single parent and a graduate of the 2014 A$$ETS pro-
gram, is a great example of what working hard and never giv-

She learned that saving, even small amounts, can really add
up. She saved each month and received the maximum
amount from the Loan Fund for matched savings. Jamie used
her $960 to improve her living accommodations.
She is currently employed full time and is being considered for
a promotion at her job. With her new savings mindset devel-
oped in the ASSETS program, and her full time job, Jamie was
able to purchase a vehicle for her family.

In 2008, the Urban Core Support Network (UCSN) conceived of a 10
week program to provide women in priority neighbourhoods with
the opportunity for personal growth, self- discovery, skill building,
and networking. The Loan Fund was contracted by UCSN to help
develop the modules and deliver the program. We have done that
for the last seven years!
This comprehensive program has acted as a springboard for women
in identifying their next steps in life. Throughout the 10 weeks
women set goals, develop community projects, learn about diversi-
ty and explore other topics such as politics, communication and fi-
nancial literacy. Many women move on to employment, other edu-
cational opportunities and programs, or become engaged in their
community.
This year, Power Up had 30 graduates of whom; 11 are employed;
three went on to further training /education; and two have taken
the path of volunteering. This brings the total graduates to 227 and
the completion of Power Up 19, 20 and 21!
New Beginnk ir,
The Women's Empowerment Network
"Body Mapping" allows participants
to explore different aspects of who
they are. This exemplifies the kind of
creativity that has made Power Up
such a success.

' EMF04, As Fiscal 2015 came to an end, the Women's Empowerment Network launched as a new chari-
"0 table organization that evolved from the UCSN. This means the Loan Fund celebrates the end of
an era of delivering Power Up with UCSN. The Women's Empowerment Network will now deliv-
er the Power -Up program in house.
The Loan Fund is proud to have been a part of Power Up over the years, and of the strong part-
nership with UCSN and the new WEN under the great leadership of Brenda Murphy. Strong fa-
cilitators have delivered and helped develop Power Up over the years. Vicki Cosgrove, the Loan Fund staff who
delivered Power Up for the last five years has moved on to WEN with the Power Up Program. We will miss her.
Before Vicki, it was Cindy Bishop who worked hard in developing the first iteration of Power Up. It's a testament
to the program's relevance that it has grown to a best practice in Canada. And the Loan Fund continues to work
with WEN on the development of a manual that will be available to others in Canada to purchase and deliver
Power Up in their communities.
Please continue to follow the successes of Power Up through the Women's Empowerment Network, as they carry
forward this amazing opportunity for women to grow personally and to lead change in their communities.

Subject: Road Repair Policy
Background:
As Council is aware, there has been much dissatisfaction of late with respect to the timely completion of
asphalt resurfacing and water cut reinstatements. In 2015 one company was engaged to perform both these
services on behalf of the City. It is late in October and all of the work is still not complete or up to date.
In order to prevent similar situations next year, and subsequent years, I would like to propose that the City
examine its contract specifications, and expectations, in relation to asphalt work. As an example, is it
possible to place stricter time limits on the overall completion of the work, strict time limits on the period of
time between milling a street and resurfacing that same street, and stricter time limits on repairing water
and sewer cut reinstatements.
Motion:
That the City Manager be directed to examine the procurement parameters and requirements respecting
asphalt street repairs and that the recommendations be presented to Council prior to calling new contracts
for this work in 2016.

RECOMMENDATION
Your City Manager recommends that Common Council:
1.Provide its support for the Trans Canada Trail route through Saint John as detailed in this report
to NB Trails, the Trans Canada Trail organization and the Provincial Department of Transportation
& Infrastructure, and
2.Refer the Trans Canada Trail route installation and maintenance costs to the 2016 (and beyond)
General Fund Operating budget for consideration.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purposes for this report are to describe to Common Council how City staff propose to
implement the Trans Canada Trail (TCT) through Saint John, request support for the TCT route on
behalf of external stakeholders and to advise on the costs of implementation and maintenance
for future budgeting purposes.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
Click here to enter any previous rele ;-ant resolution.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
The proposed TCT in Saint John aligns with recommendations of the City's Trails
& Bikeways Strategic Plan. Five priority arterial connections are identified in the
plan and the TCT would complete two of them (an Uptown to Rockwood Park
connection and a Manawagonish to Douglas connection). The two priorities
being achieved are also referenced as recommendations in the Parks &
Recreation Strategic Plan (PIaySJ) and in PlanSJ as Policies TM -10 and TM -16.
37
-z-
The TCT and the already implemented Campus Harbour Connection Bike Route
would form a west to east and north to south active transportation arterial
spine. These two spines would intersect on Harbour Passage near Simonds
Street. The Campus Harbour Connection route achieved one of the five priorities
in the Trails & Bikeways Strategic Plan meaning three of the top five active
transportation priorities would be achieved with completion of the TCT.
REPORT
BACKGROUND
There is a national goal of connecting the three coasts of Canada with a 24,000
KM Trans Canada Trail (TCT) by Canada's 150th birthday in 2017. The TCT has
the opportunity to run through Saint John. The TCT will connect to the west at
the end of the Westfield Road in Grand Bay - Westfield and to the east on
Rothesay Road in Rothesay.
ANALYSIS
Transportation Mode Served
Many portions of the TCT in Canada are off -road and accessible to all modes of
active transportation (AT). In Saint John, the TCT will need to be mainly on street
Right -of -Ways given lack of ownership of connected lands elsewhere. The TCT in
the city would primarily be focused on the cycling form of AT. Some streets
along the route lack sidewalks. Capital investment in future years could be
considered for pedestrians with the goal of someday having the TCT in Saint John
fully accessible to all AT modes. For 2017, focusing on a continuous cycling route
is a realistic goal.
The Route
The route of the TCT through Saint John is in draft final format and includes 48
km of cycling facilities. The route is shown on a map attached to this report. It
starts on the Westfield Road, continues to Bay Street, Manchester Avenue,
Manawagonish Road, Main Street West, Simms Corner, Bridge Road, Reversing
Falls Bridge, Douglas Avenue, Chesley Drive, Bentley Street, Harbour Passage
from Bentley /Chesley to Station Street, Station Street, City Road, across the
Highway 1 pedestrian bridge at Stanley Street, Wright Street, Gooderich Street,
Mount Pleasant Avenue, through Rockwood Park, Ashburn Road, and continues
to Rothesay Road. The TCT would split in one section with eastbound cyclists
using Chesley Drive and westbound cyclists using Bentley Street and Douglas
Avenue.
-3
A lot of thought and input was incorporated into the draft final route. The route
generally takes a direct path west to east and incorporates a portion of Harbour
Passage and Rockwood Park, being two of the city's premier recreational assets
and safer off -road options.
A couple of challenges were unable to be addressed for 2017. First, the TCT
grazes the South Central Peninsula (SCP) on Station Street and City Road. Staff
would have preferred to incorporate more of the SCP if a direct path was
possible and if the vision for Harbour Passage to continue around the SCP was
realized. A "loop" of the TCT through the peninsula can be incorporated in the
future. Second, there are some roads incorporated into the TCT that are not as
ideal as others for cycling such as Westfield Road, Rothesay Road, Simms Corner
and the Reversing Falls Bridge but use of these roads could not be avoided.
Types of Cycling Facilities Used
The TCT through the city would use a combination of bike lanes (9.7 KM), shared
vehicle /cycling lanes (32.1 KM), off -road trails (5.6 KM), and short lengths of
single file vehicle /cycling lanes. A diagram showing the differences between the
on- street cycling facilities is attached to this report. A combination of guidelines
of the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) and the Provincial
Department of Transportation & Infrastructure (DTI) along with engineering
judgement and available road width were considered in deciding which facilities
would be used along the route.
Signing and Painting Plan
The locations of traffic control devices and wayfinding signs along the TCT in
Saint John are fully designed. TAC guidelines were used for the traffic control
devices and TCT guidelines were used for the wayfinding signs. In total 71 sign
poles, 296 signs or tabs, 436 painted Share Lane symbols, 35 painted Bike Lane
symbols, and 9.7 KM of painted Bike Lane lines are estimated to be required.
Road Diet Concept
Common Council may recall that when the Campus Harbour Connection Bike
Route was implemented in 2013, portions of Somerset Street and Millidge
Avenue were converted from four vehicle lanes to three vehicle lanes and
dedicated bike lanes. This cost effective traffic calming solution is known as a
`road diet'.
Staff investigated the feasibility of implementing a similar 'road diet' solution on
Station Street and City Road. Initial assessment of vehicle volumes proved
promising and a more detailed traffic impact analysis and functional layout plan
was completed. The solution remained viable after the detailed analysis but
Capital investment to narrow the traffic islands at the City /Station /Garden

-4-
intersection are necessary. The investment was referred to the General Fund
Capital Program for prioritization. The detailed analysis was also provided to the
DTI for approval given both Station Street and City Road are Provincial Highways.
For the interim, wider shared vehicle /cycling lanes along the curb with the
existing four lane cross- section would be incorporated on these two streets.
Through recent consultations, it was suggested Chesley Drive also be considered
for a road diet and dedicated bike lanes. A detailed analysis would be planned
for 2016 but again for the 2017 TCT completion timeline, shared vehicle /cycling
lanes with the existing cross - section are planned.
Route Naming
Various sections of the TCT have unique names. The Fundy Trail is a local
example. A portion of the original TCT that included the west side of Saint John
to the Reversing Falls Bridge was called the Saint John River Trail because it
followed the Saint John River to that point. Extending this name to the east may
not make sense given it separates from the river.
There is an opportunity to revisit the name of the TCT in Saint John including
placing the name on the planned wayfinding signs. Staff is proposing to seek
ideas from the community over the winter and bring a recommendation back to
Council.
TCT Plan Approval
The Provincial DTI as well as the NB Trails are seeking municipal support for the
identified TCT route through Saint John this Fall. A letter from NB Trails is
attached to this report that includes this request. Staff is seeking Council's
support through this report.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
Initial implementation of the TCT through Saint John for 2017 would be relatively
inexpensive given no roadway or trail upgrades are required. The Trans Canada
Trail organization would fund a portion of the installation costs including 100% of
the costs of the TCT wayfinding signs and 50% of the poles for the wayfinding
signs. The remaining costs would be the responsibility of the City of Saint John.
A total of $32,000 would need to be added to the 2016 Pedestrian & Traffic
Management Service operating budget to implement the TCT. Annual
maintenance costs of $24,300 would need to be incorporated into future year
Pedestrian & Traffic Management Service operating budgets. A breakdown of
the estimated installation and maintenance costs are included as an appendix to
this report.
.N
5-
Capital investment to enhance the TCT in Saint John would be proposed in future
year General Fund Capital Programs and would be coordinated with scheduled
road work along the route.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
Stakeholder input has been incorporated into the design of the TCT in Saint John.
Saint John Cycling, the City's Parks & Public Spaces division, Uptown Saint John,
Waterfront Development and representatives from NB Trails have been given
opportunity to help shape the chosen route.

BY email to: Tim.O'Reilly @saint ohn.ca
Dear Mr. O'Reilly,
RE: PROPOSED TRANS CANADA TRAIL ROADWAY CONNECTION THROUGH THE
CITY OF SAINT JOHN
In 2017 we will celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary of Confederation and, with your help,
the full connection of the Trans Canada Trail (TCT). Once connected the trail will span nearly
24,000 kilometres; connecting 845 municipalities and linking to more than 15,000 other
Canadian communities.
In New Brunswick, over 59% of the proposed 944 - kilometre Trail route is complete This
route encompasses some of the most spectacular scenery in all of Canada. In order to achieve
connection by 2017 the New Brunswick Trail Council Inc. is working hard to develop various
greenway, waterway and roadway connections in New Brunswick.
Within the boundaries of the City of Saint John the TCT is being proposed as a route
connection using existing roads. Discussions have taken place with the New Brunswick
Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DTI), regarding the use of provincial
roadway. DTI has indicated their support, in principle, of the use of portions of provincial
roadway as trail connectors provided the municipality is in agreement with the proposed
route. Once DTI has reviewed & commented on segments of roadway proposed for use as
trail connectors TCT wayfmding signage will be installed along these roadways where
deemed appropriate by DTI.
This letter is a formal request for Saint John to indicate support for the proposed TCT route
which travels through your city. The table below and the attached map show the proposed
route. By providing your support through a council resolution or formal letter, the TCT route
will be one step closer to being fully connected and your city will become a part of this
national Trail.

Roadway connections can provide excellent opportunities for residents and visitors to safely
enjoy the TCT while exploring the local area, neighbourhoods and attractions. Since roadway
connections use existing infrastructure they provide a sustainable route that helps to promote
active living and transportation as well as access to historical, cultural and natural treasures.

Trans Canada Trail in New Brunswick.

COUNCIL REPORT

#2015 -22.3
Report Date
October 20, 2015
Meeting Date
October 26, 2015
Service Area
Legislative Services
His Worship Mayor Mel Norton and Members of Common Council
SUBJECT: Task Force on Economic Development
OPEN SESSION
This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council
AUTHORIZATION
Primary Author Commissioner /Dept. Head City Manager
Phil Ouellette
RECOMMENDATION
Common Council is advised to receive and file this report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Manager's Office is leading a Task Force on Economic Development
(TFED), which is tasked with articulating the City of Saint John's return on its
economic development investment. A scope of work has been developed
associated with the review, and the four City- funded economic development
agencies continue to be engaged within the process. Initial findings suggest that
there are various opportunities to enhance economic development integration
and efficiencies in Saint John. This report provides insight to Common Council on
the current direction of the Task Force, which will be submitting official
recommendations to Council in late November 2015.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
On August 17th, 2015, Common Council adopted the following resolution:
"RESOLVED that the City Manager be directed to provide a report and
recommendations to Council with respect to the submitted report from
Conrod Strategic Business Consulting entitled Saint John Economic
Development Agency Review; and further the report shall address the
concerns raised by members of Council and the comments from the
consultant."
M
sa
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This report falls under the Economic Health umbrella of Saint John Common
Council's 2012 -2016 Priorities, including the following two items:
"Implement clear and consistent internal processes to facilitate
investment and development in Saint John while maintain City standards
that align with Plan SJ;"
"Deliver an integrated approach to economic development."
REPORT
BACKGROUND
The City Manager's Office is leading the Task Force on Economic Development
(TFED), comprised of the Executive Director, Commissioner of Strategic Services
and Commissioner of Growth and Community Development Services, to respond
to Common Council's resolution requesting a report and recommendation on the
City of Saint John's investment into economic development. A scope of work has
been developed to manage the efforts of TFED, which highlights desired
outcomes, responsibilities and risks (please see attachment).
On November 23rd, 2015, Common Council should expect a report from TFED
with recommendations on the following six items:
(1) City's economic development objectives;
(2) measuring economic development success;
(3) co- location consideration;
(4) responding to duplication and overlap;
(5) internal and external governance alternatives; and finally,
(6) implementation plan.
INITIAL INVESTIGATION
The ability of TFED to bring forward substantiated recommendations is
dependent on the support and guidance of the economic development expertise
within the agencies. Staff is pleased to report that the agencies have
demonstrated a commitment to support this exercise and help support the
development of sustainable recommendations. While the agencies have
submitted valuable feedback over the past weeks, there are also the findings
from several separate economic development - related investigations and /or
reviews that have occurred in Saint John over the past years.
One area of particular interest is the examination of the City of Saint John's
(Common Council and City staff) role in the management, expertise and
leadership of economic development, which may include the consideration of
65
am
those economic development functions that are better suited within City Hall
and those better suited in a corresponding agency.
There is also a need to examine how the existing and future economic
development activities respond and inform the City of Saint John's long -term
priorities, including, but not limited to: Plan SJ, Council Priorities, corporate
strategic plan, asset management, 5-year capital plans.
In terms of the identification of possible efficiencies in the delivery of economic
development, the Task Force has received feedback from the agencies on areas
of overlap and duplication as well as possible co- location. There is particular
focus on identifying total agency expenditures on communications and
marketing and possible alternatives to enhance cooperation and effectiveness in
this area. While there are minimal office lease- related barriers to possible co-
location, there remains the need to consider the full -gamut of benefits and
downfalls in partial or full co- location of the agencies.
NEXT STEPS
TFED will be drafting initial findings in the coming weeks and sharing it with the
four City- funded economic development agencies for feedback. In addition, a
workshop will be facilitated between the agencies and city staff to more
thoroughly examine some of the important questions outlined in the Task
Force's scope of work. One objective of the workshop will be to collect feedback
on what high -level economic development objective should the City of Saint
John be expecting as a result of its investment into economic development. Once
workshop feedback is collected and analyzed, TFED will finalize its
recommendations and implementation plan for Council's consideration.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The City currently invests approximately $2 million annually to finance economic
development functions that fall under the mandates of four separate economic
development agencies, each reporting to a separate board of directors. In recent
years, the City of Saint John has experienced lackluster tax base growth which
draws into question the return on investment for its financial commitment.

RISKS
In terms of major risks associated with the work of TFED, there are a few immediate concerns that are
noteworthy, including:
Development Risks —Task Force on Economic
Time — There are very ambitious deadlines, and it will be important to focus -in on the most valuable and
relevant matters in order achieve desired timelines.
Engagement — While the recommendations of TFED are yet to be defined, there is a potential for
incremental, organizational and /or transformational change, which will require the continued
engagement of all stakeholders and partners.
Funding — The City has yet to determine the parameters of the 2016 budget (i.e. unconditional grant, tax
base growth), which may have direct implications on the scope of TFED's work and recommendations.
Communication — In order to collect accurate and valuable data from stakeholders in this process, it is
important to create an environment that invites honest discussion amongst key stakeholders.
Legal —The Task Force recommendations should respect the legal relationship the City has with each
economic development agency, as they report to separate boards of directors, who are in turned tasked
with the oversight and management of each agency.

SUBJECT. Winter On- Street Parking — Amendment to the Traffic By -Law
OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION
This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council.
AUTHORIZATION
Primary Author
City Solicitor
City Manager
Melanie Tompkins
John L. Nugent
Jeff Trail
RECOMMENDATION
That council give first and second reading to the attached amendment to the
Traffic By -Law related to Winter On Street Parking.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In order to eliminate the existing winter on street parking restriction and
implement a new Winter On- Street Parking scheme, Council must amend the
Traffic By -Law. The attached amendment repeals the provision of the by -law
that currently prohibits parking on all streets in the City, except those listed in
Schedule "R ", between midnight and 7 a.m. for the months of December,
January, February and March every year. The amendment also repeals Schedule
"R ", and introduces a new scheme whereby the overnight parking is prohibited
only on those days when the Commissioner has declared a snow ban. The by-
law sets out the condition upon which the Commissioner may declare a snow
ban: he may do so when he determines to deploy all of his operating snow
removal equipment to remove or move the snow that is expected to accumulate
on the streets of the City based on an Environment Canada weather forecast for
the day for which the snow ban is to be declared. The by -law also provides that
the Commissioner must declare the snow ban no later than 3:45 p.m. on the day
on which the snow ban is declared and his decision must be made available to
the public via local radio stations, City website and social media and a message is
to be placed on a telephone line which is to be maintained by the Commissioner
for snow removal information purposes. The only exception to the new snow
ban scheme are those streets listed in Schedule "Q'. Those streets are covered
by the South Central Peninsula Snow Ban Scheme, which remains intact in the
by -law.
71
Spa
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
At its meeting of July 20, 2015, Council resolved that the City:
1) Endorse in principle Option 6 [Overnight Parking Ban for the Entire City
Except the South Central Peninsula] and 8(b) as described in this report;
2) Direct the City Manager to report back to Common Council prior to October
15, 2015 with an implementation plan for Options 6 and 8(b) that would
include the required amendments to the City's Traffic By -Law,
communicating the planned regulation changes to the public, developing a
protocol of communicating parking bans to the public and enhanced
coordination protocol between snow clearing operation supervisors and the
Saint John Police Force;
3) Direct the City Manager to request the Province of New Brunswick consider
amending section 113(5) of the Provincial Motor Vehicle Act such that
parking restrictions for the purpose of snow clearing can be achieved at any
time without installing traffic control devices (signs).
Fi�:L��x�l[�I�CH►�h�l�Pi�
The attached amendment will allow Council to implement a winter on street
parking restriction linked directly to snowfall, thereby also allowing citizens to
park in the street during the winter when snow removal operations are not
taking place.
REPORT
The City draws its authority to regulate the parking of vehicles on streets from
section 113 of the Motor Vehicle Act. Pursuant to subsection 113(1), a
municipality may make by -laws to regulate the standing and parking of vehicles.
The Motor Vehicle Act goes on to say at subsection 113(4) that no provision of a
by -law of a municipality is effective until the traffic control device [a sign] giving
notice of the local traffic regulation is placed on or at the entrance to the street
affected by the by -law. Subsection 113(5) specifies that the requirement to post
signs does not apply to provisions of a by -law prohibiting parking between the
hours of midnight and 7 a.m. of the following day for the purpose of snow
removal.
The attached amendment prohibits the parking of vehicles between the hours of
midnight on the day the snow ban is declared and 7 a.m. of the following day for
the purpose of snow removal, in line with the requirements of the Motor Vehicle
Act.
72
am
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The City Manager addressed the service and financial outcomes in his most
recent report considered by Common Council at its meeting held on October 13,
2015.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
The City Solicitor's office worked with the Traffic Division to develop the
amendment, to ensure that it properly reflects Council's intention.
Subsection 113(2) of the Motor Vehicle Act provides that no provision of a by-
law of a municipality affecting the use of a provincial highway is valid or effective
until the municipality has applied for and obtained from the Registrar of Motor
Vehicles, written notice of the Registrar's approval of the by -law. Since this by-
law amendment impacts all streets within the City of Saint John, including
provincially designated highways, the approval of the Registrar will be required
before the by -law amendment is valid and effective.
A copy of the draft by -law has already been sent to the Registrar for his review
and approval.
ATTACHMENTS
An amendment to the Traffic By -Law in proper translated form repealing the
existing subsection 5(9) of the by -law and related Schedule "R" which currently
govern the winter on street parking restrictions and replacing that section with a
new subsection 5(9) setting out a winter on street parking restriction scheme
based on snow removal operations.
