REPORT BACKGROUND Staff have been previously authorized by Council to proceed with funding applications for the following projects: • Road Rehabilitation (SCF) • Visart Street - Watermain Renewal and Sewer Separation • Rockland Road - Watermain Renewal and Sewer Separation (SCF) • Wentworth Street - Sewer Separation, Watermain and Sanitary Sewer Renewals (CWWF) 091 -3- • Chipman Hill — Sewer Separation Watermain and Sanitary Sewer Renewals (CWWF) • SCADA System (Revised CWWF) • McAllister Drive - Watermain Renewal (Revised CWWF) ANALYSIS As a result of recently announced funding approvals under the Small Communities Fund Program, adjustments to the 2018 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund and 2017/2018 General Fund (Transportation & Storm Categories) Capital Programs are required along with the necessary approvals. The confirmed cost shared funding under the SCF Program has provided an opportunity to include an additional project in the 2018 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program that is in need of being completed in short order and would otherwise not have been possible to complete. The new proposed project under the 2018 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Program is: • Thorne Avenue Wastewater Pumping Station $493,333 — Replacement of two pumps The confirmed cost shared funding under the SCF Program has provided an opportunity to increase the 2018 Asphalt Roadway Resurfacing and Curb & Sidewalk Renewal project (City share) by $593,334 to bring the City Share for this project to an amount of $3,678,334 which amount will still remain far below the recommended $5,000,000 City Share amount necessary to ensure the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is maintained at a proper level. The overall City Share total for the 2017/2018 General Fund Capital Program — Transportation and Storm Categories) will remain at the original amount approved by Council. The necessary adjustments to the 2018 Water & Sewerage Utility Fund and 2017/2018 General Fund (Transportation & Storm Categories) Capital Programs are highlighted in yellow on the attached documents. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The overall City Share component of the 2017/2018 Capital Programs will remain the same as originally approved by Common Council.

There are no restrictions on motor vehicle traffic, of any kind, on Spar Cove Road. All the years that I have resided on this street, I have not once seen a speeding ticket issued. Persons in their vehicles do not drive the speed limit, as there is not one posted, and vehicles tend to accelerate quite fast if coming down Spar Cove Road. Other areas of the city get special attention, such as speed bumps, reduce speed signs, flashing lights at crosswalks, police patrols, etc. The city needs to address these problems when it comes to Spar Cove Road. Here is a list of concerns and factors | have put together that affect the traffic and its speed: * Spar Cove Road isonly 2Ofeet wide. * There are noparking restrictions, and you can park oneither side ofthe street atany time ofthe day. * There are no street signs posted anywhere on the main street where residents reside. My recommendations to help this problem are: Putting up reduce speed signs to 40-SOKM or less. Installing speed bumps to control speeding. - To: Mayor and council of the City of Saint John Re: Evaluation of Saint John Transit Your Worship and council, The citizens of Saint John assumed the financial liability of public transit in the 1970's. Service has not improved despite vast sums of public money. The Saint John Transit "upgnade"ofadecade ago, butchered the remaining core bus service with callous disregard for pedestrian safety. They refuse to provide a customer service policy. The crucial first step for public transit in this city is the professional evaluation by transportation experts from outside the greater Saint John area.

We have been in communication with an American organization called Feeding the Hungry, who were going to provide boxes of groceries to be handed out during the festival, however there are issues with them crossing the boarder to help. We were wondering if the City of Saint John would be able to help in any way with providing non perishable foods or funding to go towards this event?

Of course, this is done by fostering and promoting investment in communities, which leads to additional jobs, which results in an increased population, which leads to the development of supporting retail, professional services, and activities. The number one reason for travel is to visit friends and family. So the larger the population, the more tourism you'll have. The second reason for travel is business. The more businesses you have, the more tourism you'll have based on their visitors. And with the success of those two drivers, your activities and attractions will bring in leisure visitors, making you a well-rounded destination as a place to live, work, and play. Here are the three reasons why tourism is the purest form of economic development: 1. People come, spend money and go home. If you attract the right visitors, you don't need more police and social services; they impact your infrastructure very little; yet they support your retail shops, restaurants, hotels, and get to know you as a community. If visitors like what they see and experience, they tell their friends via Facebook, Instagram and other social media sites. That's free marketing and a third -party endorsement. 2. Tourism is the front door to your non -tourism economic development. Any site selector, investor, or commercial real estate firm will arrive in your community, as what? A visitor. With quality of life leading economic development, tourism provides the marketing and visuals that promote the best you have to offer in terms of nightlife, downtown, your amenities such as trails and parks, and your activities. Tourism showcases your community as a very desirable place to not only visit, but in which to live and work. 3. Tourism is a downtown's best friend. The number one activity of visitors, in the world, is shopping, dining and entertainment in a pedestrian -friendly, intimate setting: your downtown. This is typically not the reason they visit, but it is their number one activity once they arrive. While local residents provide the sales so retailers break even, tourism can provide the profit margin. A great downtown, over time, can be an attraction in itself. Tourism and downtowns should be joined at the hip. Tourism is the purest form of economic development, but it is often seen as the ugly stepchild. Yet tourism is one of the fastest growing industries, can provide a quick return on your investment, and provides you with the marketing that showcases the best of what you have to offer.

As a Regional Facility, we provide a high standard of services to the communities we serve, The SJAC is poised to meet or exceed our expected targets in all our service areas. This is due to the hard work of the staff and volunteer board members, as well as the positive reputation we have developed with the public. • Installation of new exterior signage as part of an overall new marketing/visibility strategy. • Developing a sponsorship strategy through artsVest, that will allow us to develop a new revenue stream and develop closer relationships with the business community. The Carnegie Building was constructed in 1904 and after over 100 years, the sandstone is starting to deteriorate. This may become a safety issue for those in Peel Plaza who are walking close to the exterior of the building. I have consulted with local architect, Bob Boyce who estimates that repairs will need to be taken within the five years to stabilize the sandstone facing before it is too late. I realize that the funding for the repairs will need to come from the three levels of government and not just from the City. I am available to help with any grant applications that are necessary!! • The Saint John Arts Centre is alive and a vibrant part of the arts community in southern New Brunswick. • The Arts Centre is very good value and worth the continued support as a Regional Facility.

For presentation purposes, Segmented Budgeted Statement of Earnings are also shown for each the core utility and consumer products segments. Gross Margin - Electrical Operations Sales and purchases of electricity are forecasted based on actual volume information from the most recent 12 month period and efficiency experience from the most recent 2 year period available at the time the plan was prepared. The 2018 Budget is expected to see an increase in Electrical Operations Gross Margin of $141,000. Increasing the Gross Margin are the 1.77% average rate increase implemented on April 1, 2017, and an anticipated Gross Margin- Electrical Operations ($000's) Ln �D 0 0 0 N N N 2% average increase on April 1, 2018. Additional rate increases of 2% have been budgeted in each year of the plan. Actual changes to revenues and purchase rates will depend on wholesale power purchase costs and the specific sustainability needs of the Company in future years. Anticipated reductions in electrical sales volume during years two through ten of the plan are a provision for the estimated impact of new technologies, demographic changes and energy efficiency initiatives that may have an influence on sales and related energy purchases. Other Income Other Income is comprised mainly of revenue derived from water heater rentals, mini split heat pump rentals, street and rental light rentals, facilities rentals, customer connection and other collection charges, pole attachment fees and third -party work performed. Other non -electrical incomes are budgeted to increase by $426,000 in 2018. The major factors for this increase are the anticipated growth of 061 Other Income ($000's) Page 6 the mini split heat pump rental program and the projected April 01, 2018 2% rate increases on both water heater and lighting rental revenues, partially offset by an anticipated reduction of third -party billable storm assistance activity. Projected in the 10 year plan is continued growth for the mini split heat pump rental program and future rate increases of 2% annually on other rental charges. Operations, Maintenance and Administrative Expenses (OM&A) OM&A includes labour, equipment, materials, contracted services, depreciation, insurance, taxes and other costs related to operating, managing and maintaining the utility and distribution system. These expenses are forecasted to increase by $1.8 million over 2017 projected results in 2018. This change is primarily driven by increased equipment amortization related to investment in assets, increased cost of both short and long term employee benefit plans, increases to base compensation for employees, and the addition of two staff positions in support management initiatives and succession planning. Results beyond 2018 are influenced by inflationary provisions for wages, benefits and other expenses estimated to affect costs in the years 2019 through 2027 (see assumptions table page 18). Net Cash Earnings Net cash earnings are a measure of the Company's earnings adjusted for non-cash items including amortization and non-cash future employee benefit actuarial charges for pension and other post- retirement benefits. Net cash earnings for 2018 are budgeted at $7.1 million, a decrease of $374,000 from the projected 2017 result due to the cash impacts revenue and expense variances noted above. Earning projections for future years are significantly impacted by the forecasted growth of the mini split heat pump rental program while including the provision for reduced electrical sales volumes mentioned above. Net Cash Earnings ($000's) Page 7 Cash & Debt Position The Budgeted Statement of Cash Flows that projects the cash position of the Company at the end of each year shows a projected deficit ending cash balance in 2017 of $0.1 million. Saint John Energy is forecasting to rely on its current $10 million operating line of credit to finance the continued growth of the mini split heat pump program. A total of $15.7 million of borrowing from core utility operations has been projected in the years 2016 to 2022 by the consumer Ending Cash Balance ($000's) t� 00 al O -A N M Ln lD r� O O O O O O O O O O O N N N N N N N N N N N products division, at which point the mini split program becomes self-funded. Debt servicing costs on the net cash used/generated by the mini split rental program are charged internally to the consumer products division and credited back to core utility operations. The ten year plan includes investments in Property Plant and Equipment of $96.2 million ($11.6 million for 2018) which includes $25.8 million in mini split heat pump systems ($4.3 million for 2018). Sensitivity Analysis As with any budgeting process, there are estimates used that are based or depend on historical trending and time sensitive information. Actual results may be different or affected by unforeseeable circumstances. The following is an analysis of several of the largest items that could affect the actual outcomes for the 2018 financial year with their impact on the Budgeted Statement of Earnings: Gross Margin • 1% variations to sales volume change gross margin by approximately $183,000 • Revenue Accrual is assumed to have a zero effect (variance +/- $84,000 ten year avg.) • Other changes in weather patterns are assumed to be nominal, variances would have a similar affect to the sales volume sensitivity above Page 8 `O Operations and Maintenance Expense (including other revenues and expenses) Management has identified known or specific cost changes and has included assumptions for inflationary effects over the period of the plan for both Capital and Expense related costs as follows: • Planned installations of new mini split heat pump rental units of 1,200 in 2018 and 6,900 units over the ten year plan. A +/-10% variance in actual volumes would have an effect on net cash earnings of $32k in 2018 and $2.2M for the total of the 10 year plan. • Inflation on applicable expenses assumed at 1% per year. A +/-1% variance would have an $80,000 effect on earnings in the second year of the plan. • Employee Remuneration (dependent on actual complement). Base compensation increases are assumed to be 2% in 2018 for staff employees and 2.5% for unionized employees as per the collective bargaining agreement. Future years of the plan include an annual 2% base compensation increase for all employees. A +/- 1% change for all employees' results in an increase in expense of $84,000 in the first year of the plan. Other Post -Retirement Benefits Expense (OPEB) & Non-cash Pension Expense Other post-retirement benefit costs are anticipated to increase by 5% annually in the years 2019-2027. A 0.5% reduction in the discount rate used in the actuarial valuation of the liability would increase the non-cash expense in the first year of the plan in the amount of $592,000. A 1% variance in the forecasted cash benefit payments in the first year of the plan would result in an incremental cash outlay of approximately $7,300. Financing Costs Interest costs on Saint John Energy's operating line of credit utilized to fund the growth of the mini split heat pump rental program has been estimated to carry an interest rate of 3.25% in 2018 and rising gradually to 4.00% over the 10 year plan. A +/-1% variance to the interest rate assumption would have a $2,500 effect on earnings in the first year of the plan. Because actual experience will be different than the forecast, Saint John Energy's operational plans need to be flexible and dynamic enough to make adjustments throughout the year in order to achieve our commitment to meet or exceed the budgeted results. Management will undertake to make adjustments to this plan as necessary to achieve the strategic and financial Page 9 `[oya goals as outlined. Management will inform and/or seek Board approval where a material variance from this plan necessitates. Material Risks and Uncertainties In the normal course of operations, Saint John Energy's earnings and capital investments plans can vary due to changes in several factors. Information on some of the key factors that could potentially impact actual results from the forecast presented in the 10 year plan is provided below. Energy Conservation & Technological Advancements - While Saint John Energy is actively seeking new programs and services to encourage its customers to reduce demand and energy consumption, the market, demographics or technology advancements could drive customers to reduce consumption faster than the utility can transition. Alternative Heating Solutions (natural gas and propane) - The Saint John area currently has a significant percentage of electric space and water heating customers. Without offsetting economic or population increases, market share could be affected by the adoption of alternative solutions for these requirements. Electrical Sales/Purchase Volume - Saint John Energy, due to its significant percentage of electric space heating customers and the mix of demand and energy which forms the basis of its wholesale power purchase rates, can be subject to short-term swings in weather especially during seasonal transition periods. This can lead to fluctuations in cost which, given certain circumstances, may not be fully recovered in revenue from its customers. Electrical Purchase Costs — By legislation, only NB Power Corporation may sell electricity to a consumer or municipal distribution utility within the Province of New Brunswick except where the electricity supplied was generated within the territorial limits of the municipality and in compliance with the utilities distributed generation or net metering policies. As such, alternative supplies of electricity are limited within the territorial limits of Saint John. The majority of the utility's power purchase costs (its largest expense) are subject to the business decisions of NB Power Corporation and/or other Provincial authorities and policy setters. Page 10 `DIV Adverse Weather - extreme weather conditions such as ice storms and high winds can effect the utility's ability to maintain system reliability, safety and the security of its supply. In addition to customer inconvenience, these unplanned events can significantly add to the operational cost of the utility. Advanced Metering Infrastructure— a number of scenarios are being modeled as it relates to the potential introduction of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) which is expected to require $9 to $11 million of capital investment that is not contained in the current base plan at this time. An amount of $60,000 has been included in the 2018 plan to contract AMI industry experts to assist in project valuation and business plan development for a potential AMI deployment. The potential deployment could be financed through a combination of debt financing, cost savings, or revenue recovery. Carbon Costs — the implementation of climate change actions and associated potential cost of carbon legislation could materially impact power purchase costs over the 10 year plan. Until further clarity regarding the details of carbon pricing emerge from the federal and provincial governments and the actual impact on power purchase rates is known, Saint John Energy has forecasted annual increases of 2% to both power purchase costs and electrical sales revenue. Energy Generation — Saint John Energy has recently partnered with the Village of Perth Andover and City of Edmundson to pursue two renewable energy projects. Together, an application was made to be considered in a competitive process as part of the second phase of the NB Power LORESS program to build two wind generation farms. At this point, no amounts have been included in the 10 year plan related to future energy generation projects. West Side Water Hardness - The City of Saint John recently completed a change to the water system on the city's west side which has led to hard water concerns. This may result in premature failure of the elements in our water heater fleet, approximately 5,700 tanks. Measures have been taken to investigate how the composition of the water will affect the elements and proactive solutions to address the problem are being developed. The impact of this potential risk is undetermined at this time and as such has not been included in this plan. Page 11 R9L1 2018 Capital Expenditures Budget The following items represent the planned Capital Budget for 2018. These estimates include approximately 25% of the annual unionized labour/benefits payroll costs. For all major projects, approximately 10% has been added as contingency to the estimate to allow for potentially unidentified costs and/or cost escalation. 2018 Capital Expenditures Budget Amount Core Business Distribution Equipment 4,300,000 Overhead Conductors and Equipment 500,000 Boyaner Court Under Ground Conductor Upgrade 345,000 Three Phase Padmount Live Front Transformer Upgrades 326,000 Third Party Driven Historical Average 315,000 Bonita Avenue Underground Complete Phase 1 & Phase 2 227,500 Wood Pole Replacements 215,000 Underground Conductor System Upgrades 200,000 Michael Crescent Underground Conductor System Upgrades 200,000 Single Phase Meters 155,000 Phase 1- Golden Grove Road to Churchland Road Conductor Upgrade 150,000 Central Business District Upgrades 150,000 Circuit Rebuild on Lancaster Street 150,000 Vault & Manhole Upgrades 150,000 Installation of 40 Underground Residential Boxes 125,000 Single Phase Padmount Live Front Transformer Upgrades 116,000 Padmount Switch Replacement 80,000 4kV Conversion Completion 80,000 Saint Coeur Court Underground Upgrade 75,000 Complete Loyalist Lane conversion 60,000 Overhead Feeder Extensions Bayside Drive 60,000 Street Light Kiosk Installation Upgrades 55,000 Harbourview Subdivision Planned Carryover 50,000 Aquatic Center Switch Installation 50,000 Overhead Primary Conductor Relocations - Phase 1 50,000 Daniel Avenue& Bedell Street Conductor Upgrade 50,000 Rental Lighting 45,000 Hilyard Place Tech Cable Replacement 40,000 Metal Pole Replacements 40,000 Three Phase Padmount Transformer Upgrades 32,000 Single Phase Padmount Transformer Upgrades 30,000 Submersible Transformer Refurbishment 30,000 Customer Service Drop Upgrade - Phase 1 30,000 Metering Tanks 25,000 Page 12 `Nee 2018 Capital Expenditures Budget (continued) Amount Parkway Mall Loop Completion 25,000 12U6 Extension - Underground 15,000 Current Transformers 10,500 Irving Oil Limited Head Office 10,000 Three Phase Meters 10,000 McNamara Underground Upgrade Planned Carryover 9,000 Potential Transformers 6,500 Lynn Avenue Loop - 121-2 5,000 Metering Cabinets 2,500 Substation Equipment 642,429 Crown Street Substation Hardening 430,000 Oil Containment System at Milledgeville Substation 130,000 Substation Equipment Additions Unplanned 57,429 Milledgeville Transformer Protection Relay 25,000 Technology 545,750 Work Order & Mobile Work Management 150,000 CIS Customer Billing Software Upgrade 120,000 Disaster Recovery Site 70,000 Mailing Equipment 50,000 SJE Website Redesign 50,000 Desktop Computer Replacement Program 35,000 Replace Remaining Analog Cameras 25,000 Laptop Replacement Program 16,000 Engineering Color Plotter 15,000 Tablet & iPhone Replacements 7,000 Audio Visual Equipment 4,000 Scanners 3,750 System Technology 530,000 Grid Modernization 175,000 SCADA Upgrade to SmartVU/OSI 100,000 Outage Management System Technology Upgrades 95,000 SCADA Scout RTU Upgrade 70,000 SCADA DR Server 55,000 Substation Communication Upgrade 25,000 SCADA Status relays 10,000 Vehicles - Fleet Replacement Program 497,000 Various Tools 37,500 Buildings - Miscellaneous Building & Furniture Upgrades 20,000 Products and Services Mini Split Heat Pump Rental Program 4,320,000 Water Heaters ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 748,888 Grand Total 11,641,567 Page 13 `191-1 N 4--+ N U m N O �+ L.L .� Q ca � co � N f0 N V � N v % L f0 W ti 0 C i f0 W O C G1 E G) m N G1 C) (( N C O LO Q L() r N r N C LO c O_ r C N C 00 C L() C G� a C O C - C oc r C w c O � C O C C � (( O) r C LOr.

Base kWh Reduction 2019-2027 Sales reductions in the years 2019 thru 2027 estimated to total 4.95% of the base year kWh sales by 2027. The cumulative effect of this reduction on the 10 year plan is a reduction of $5.9M in revenue or $1.OM in gross margin. Purchase Demand Load Factor 2018-2027 Purchase demand load factor used in forecasting power purchase costs is based on average monthly demand factors over the previous two year period, as this is the only historical time frame available under our current co -incident peak billing structure.

Employee Compensation 2018-2027 Assumptions for the 2018 year were based on a known increase of 2.5% for the collective bargaining unit on April 01st 2018 and estimates for both inflationary (2%) and progression (varies) increases for staff on an individual basis. For future years beyond 2018, an annual 2% base compensation increase has been assumed. A 1% +/- variance to this assumption would result in an annual +/- $84k of employee compensation costs. Employee Benefits 2019-2027 Increases for both current and future employee benefits were assumed to increase by 5% annually beginning in 2019. A 1% +/- variance to this assumption would result in a +/- $24k annual change to employee benefit costs. Mini -split Heat Pump Rentals 2018-2027 Planned installations of new mini -split heat pump rental units of 1,200 units in 2018 and 6,900 units over the 10 -year plan. A +/- 10% variance in actual rental volumes would have a +/- $32k impact on 2018 net cash earnings and a +/- $2.2M impact over the 10 -year plan. General Inflation 2019-2027 In all cases where a previous assumption did not exist for a budgeted item (sales, employee compensation, benefits, etc.) a 1% general inflation assumption was used. A +/- 1% variance to this assumption would result in a +/- $80k change to forecasted annual net cash earnings.

These business processes are for the fulfillment of public needs in relation to: • Parking in general; • The establishment of a permanent coordinated system of parking facilities; • Parking planning, design, location and acquisition; • Maintenance, operation, ownership, leasing, in the capacity of lessor or lessee, land, buildings and facilities allocated to parking; To effectively and efficiently manage On and Off -Street Parking while supporting Municipal growth and priorities. Chair - Patricia Ellsworth Secretary Treasurer - Tim Peterson Members: Kay Gillis, Michael McGovern, Charles Bryant, David Duplisea, Donna Reardon 22 staff - comprised of Saint John Parking Commission staff and contract services members. Note: A change occurred Jan. 1, 2018 as the Saint John Parking Commission assumed the operation of Market Square Parking garage. Staff from prior service provider became SJPC employees. Saint John Parking Commission does not receive an operating subsidy from the City; There are two (2) revenue streams for the Saint John Parking Commission- - On -Street Parking: Net income generated by this business process is directly allocated to the City of Saint John. Saint John Parking Commission recoups a small fee for services. Off -Street Parking inclusive of the Peel Plaza Parking Garage. Note: 100% of this revenue stream is realized by the Saint John Parking Commission. Off- Street Parking as it relates to Market Square Parking Garage li§1.1 operates in a similar fashion to On -Street Parking, whereby the net income generated from the garage is directly allocated to the City of Saint John. SJPC recoups a small fee for services. For 2018, SJPC has no formal Cl projects planned. SJPC has purchased of 6 new Pay by Plate machines for St. Joseph's Hospital and will purchase 10 new machines which will be strategically located in high volume areas of the uptown. Implementation of these will provide an improved customer experience and reduce cost.

Through negotiations, SJPC has secured 190 new rentals committed from March until the end of October 2018. The revenue was not forecast and a welcomed event. • Identify strategic land use opportunities as it relates to the overall Growth Plan; • Align On -Street Parking enforcement with uptown business needs (Ex. On -street Overnight Parking); • Work toward On and Off street parking availability representation, electronically; • Performance Area Targets will continue to evolve as a result of Phase II of the Transportation Plan and through the Commission'(s) efforts in development of a multi-year Strategic Plan; • Purchase of 6 new Pay by Plate machines for St. Joseph's Hospital and 10 which will be strategically located in high volume areas of the uptown; • Implementation of Paymentus, which allows the public to setup a personal account to facilitate the online automated payments for Monthly parking; • Website enhancements to permit the ability to broadcast messages by Twitter and email simultaneously; • Assumed the management of the Market Square Parking Garage • Electronic representation of parking on and off street is now represented on our website; • Modification to the Traffic By-laws to increase the fine related to accessible parking. Today it is $75 and once approved by Council, the new fine will be $125, which is the maximum governed by the MVA. This aligns well with the recommendation put forward through the MoveSJ plan • It is noted through the IBI proposal that an opportunity exists to strategically expand upon the number of permits sold in specific lots. The SJPC has adopted this recommendation and is trialing it, in our Water Street Parking lot. • Possible closure of both the hourly/daily (100 spaces) and monthly portion (179 spaces) of the Water Street lot. This will be the result of the construction of the New Brunswick Museum. `§F:3 • Potential sale of the Canterbury Parking Garage. 22 hourly spaces and 25 monthly spaces • Adopt recommendations of IBI Transportation Plan — Phase II including Saint John Parking Strategy (Move SJ) and support Phase III go forward.

2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John 1 Introduction 1.1 Study Background The City of Saint John is preparing a transportation strategic plan (MoveSJ) that is being completed in three phases (research, plan development, and plan finalization). MoveSJ aims to quantify and recommend improvements to the transportation system over a 25 year horizon. The primary objectives of MoveSJ are to guide the growth of an integrated multi -modal transportation system, taking into account unique road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, public transit users, truckers, among others. MoveSJ also strives to provide a safe, efficient, and accessible network for all who live and work in the City of Saint John. As part of the project's second phase, this report summarizes the parking strategy. This task examines current parking operations and aims to accommodate Saint John's future parking needs. Exhibit 1.1 provides further details regarding the MoveSJ project framework.

A comprehensive survey of parking supply and demand was completed in 2000 with a future parking demand forecast completed in 2006, however many of the anticipated developments have not materialized. February 8, 2018 125 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John The parking strategy is divided into three primary tasks: Existing Conditions Review: review the City of Saint John's current parking operations using the supply and demand data collected as part of this study; Future Parking Demand Analysis: identify future parking needs by forecasting the Uptown Peninsula's future parking demand; and Parking Strategy Development: develop a parking strategy that: • Reviews the best practices of similar municipalities; • Examines Transportation Demand Management (TDM) initiatives as potential strategies to improve future parking operations; • Examines the existing Residential Zone Parking Permit Program; and • Identifies the impacts of on -street parking on street maintenance. 2 Existing Uptown Peninsula Parking Supply and Utilization 2.1 Parking Inventory The existing conditions parking supply and utilization study was conducted by Crandall Engineering, a civil engineering firm based out of Moncton and Saint John. Hourly parking demand counts were completed for on -street and off-street facilities on Thursday, June 22, 2017, Tuesday, June 27, 2017, and Wednesday, June 28, 2017 from 8 AM to 6 PM. The City of Saint John provided on -street and off-street parking inventories, which was confirmed during field observations. The existing parking inventory is summarized in Exhibit 2.1 and the Uptown Peninsula study area is presented in Exhibit 2.2. Exhibit 2.1: Parking Inventory February 8, 2018 126 Off -Street Municipal Hourly 148 Municipal Monthly 883 Municipal Monthly/Hourly 1,389 Municipal Off -Street Total 2,420 Private Monthly 1,306 Private Monthly/Hourly 810 Private Off -Street Total 2,116 Off -Street Total 4,536 On -Street Municipal Metered 695 Municipal Unmetered 575 On -Street Total 1,270 System Total 5,806 February 8, 2018 126 U i A Q cc cc L Q A 3 N t K W M r» LA 00 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John As displayed in Exhibit 2.1, the Uptown Saint John parking supply is comprised of 5,806 parking spaces divided in the following manner: 1,270 on -street parking spaces; 2,420 municipally owned off-street parking spaces; and 2,116 privately owned off-street parking spaces. There are 53 off-street parking lots (4,536 spaces) in the study area available to the general public; 28 lots are owned by the Saint John Parking Commission and 25 lots are privately owned. The on -street parking supply consists of 695 metered spaces and approximately 575 unmetered spaces. Unmetered spaces were generally found in the more residential areas where alternate side parking is in effect. 2.2 Seasonal Parking Adjustment Factor Parking patterns vary widely throughout the calendar year. For example, parking demand during the winter months is typically lower due to the cold weather and heavy snowfall which may deter people from visiting the Uptown core. Parking systems are generally designed to accommodate the 85th to 90th percentile peak annual parking demand. This ensures that the existing parking supply is able to accommodate all but the highest demand throughout the year. Parking systems are not designed to accommodate the highest demand, as it would result in a large portion of spaces being unfilled for the remainder of the year. To seasonably adjust the collected parking data, the City of Saint John provided monthly parking revenue data for 2016. Exhibit 2.3 shows the 2016 monthly parking revenues. Exhibit 2.3: 2016 Monthly Parking Revenues To determine the seasonal adjustment factor, the parking revenue collected the month the survey was conducted (June) was compared to the 90th percentile parking revenue ($117,118.90). Based on the assessment of 2016 monthly parking revenues, the June seasonal February 8, 2018 128 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John adjustment factor is 0.992. To calculate the seasonally adjusted parking demand, all collected parking demand was multiplied by the seasonal adjustment factor. 2.3 Parking Utilization Using the collected parking occupancy data, a complete review of the study area's existing parking utilization was undertaken (how much parking is used and when). Parking systems are considered "effectively full" at an occupancy of approximately 85%, depending on lot size and characteristics. This represents the point where finding a space is challenging for drivers, resulting in an increased likelihood of a driver having to search for an available parking space. Using the collected utilization data and the 85% effective capacity threshold, IBI Group identified the locations where parking operates near capacity, and where excess capacity is available. 2.3.1 On -Street Utilization Hourly parking counts were collected for all 695 metered spaces and 575 unmetered on -street parking spaces in the study area. Exhibit 2.4 illustrates the hourly on -street parking patterns during the weekday period. Exhibit 2.4: On -Street Parking Utilization 1400 Capacity = 1270 Spaces 1200 10 Demand at System} Peak E 800 = 685 (54%) �s cs 6000 s 2 :.i.. ; Time X011 °°°°°Unirieteredl 14Mlleteredl ITectal Can -Street Capacity Some observations from the on -street parking utilization results: Metered and unmetered spaces experienced similar demand throughout the day; Parking demand was sustained above 50% between 10 AM — 3 PM; and The maximum on -street parking demand occurred between 2 — 3 PM, where 691 spaces (54%) were occupied. Given that the on -street parking system operated below the effective capacity at all times, it is concluded that sufficient on -street parking opportunities are provided during weekdays.

Exhibit 2.5 illustrates the hourly off-street parking patterns during the weekday period.

Considering these results, the Uptown parking supply in 2017 is considered sufficient to accommodate the weekday parking demand at all times. While sufficient parking opportunities are provided system wide, individual lots and street segments are observed to operate near or at capacity. Exhibit 2.7 geographically displays the lot -by -lot and street -by -street parking utilization observed during the period of peak parking demand.

The CBD is bound by Union Street to the north, Sydney Street to the east, Duke Street to the south, and St. Patrick Street / Water Street to the west; • Out of the 94 on -street segments that were surveyed, 14 were observed to operate above 85% utilization during the system peak. This indicates that there are many on -street segments that are operating well below capacity; • Off-street lots that offer hourly parking have higher occupancies than those that offer monthly parking only. This suggests that additional monthly permits could potentially be sold without resulting in operational issues; and • Out of 54 lots, 5 were observed to operate above 85% utilization during the system peak. Many of the off-street lots are operating well below capacity. Based on industry research, the publically accepted walking distance between a parking space and the user's final destination ranges between 300 — 400 metres. While several lots and street segments are observed to operate above effective capacity, there are sufficient parking opportunities within walking distance to accommodate any excess demand. 2.3.4 Friday Evening Sensitivity Analysis A Friday evening survey was conducted for the restaurant district at 6 PM on September 8, 2017. The restaurant district is bounded by King Street to the north, Charlotte Street to the east, Duke Street to the south, and Water Street to the west. This survey included on -street and off- street facilities to assess how the Friday evening parking demand differs from regular weekdays. Exhibit 2.8 shows the study area for the Friday Evening survey.

Exhibit 2.9: Friday Evening Parking Utilization Comparison TOTAL ON -STREET 1 258 1 176 68% 1 137 1 53% 194 1 75% Some observations from the Friday evening survey: • Friday evening had the highest demand for on -street and off-street parking facilities, followed by the weekday peak period, then the weekday evening period; • Parking demand on Water Street, King Street, and the Canterbury/Princess Lot was higher during the weekday peak compared to Friday evening; • Parking demand on Canterbury Street, Germain Street, and the Canterbury Garage (Upper) were similar when comparing the weekday peak and Friday evening; • Parking demand on Prince William Street, Princess Street, and the Coast Guard Lot was higher during the Friday evening period compared to the weekday peak; and • During the Friday evening period, 3 on -street parking segments had utilizations of 100% or higher, indicating that illegal parking may be an issue. Saint John is recommended to consider increasing enforcement within the restaurant area during Friday evenings. Based on these findings and local knowledge, parking within the restaurant district is known to operate near effective capacity on Friday evenings. However, while not included within the sensitivity analysis, parking utilization is known to rapidly decrease as a function of distance from the restaurant district. Therefore, sufficient parking opportunities are anticipated to be available within publically accepted walking distance (300-400 meters) of the restaurant district to accommodate the excess demand.

February 8, 2018 135 11 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John 3 Future Uptown Peninsula Parking Demand Forecasting While the existing parking supply is sufficient to meet existing parking demand, the City of Saint John is anticipated to grow over the next 10 years. Given the expected growth, long-term planning is needed to ensure that the future parking demand can be accommodated. Future parking demand within the Uptown Peninsula is anticipated to be impacted by the following factors: • Parking demand growth due to population growth in the Saint John region; • Targeted personal vehicle modal split reduction (5% over the 10 year horizon); • New developments within the study area; and • Parking supply losses or gains. 3.1 Increased Activity of Existing Land Uses The Uptown core's future parking demand is anticipated to grow, even if there are no new developments within the study area. This occurs because the activity drawn by the existing land uses is anticipated to grow as a function of population growth outside the study area. The PlanSJ Municipal Plan (2011) provided population and employment growth forecasts over 14 and 21 year horizons. Using the growth data, an annual growth rate of 1.15% was calculated. It is assumed that an increase in population will result in a proportional increase in parking demand. Note that while population is a significant contributor to parking demand, parking demand growth is not directly proportional to population growth. For the purposes of this planning exercise, the estimated growth in demand is considered a conservative forecast. Saint John is recommended to monitor the parking situation moving forward and adjust the parking demand projections as necessary. Exhibit 3.1 presents the projected peak hour parking demand growth over the 10 year horizon period. Exhibit 3.1: Parking Demand Growth due to Increased Activity Parking demand within Uptown Peninsula is expected to grow by 414 vehicles over the 10 year analysis period due to city-wide growth. 3.2 Modal Split Reduction Based on the City of Saint John Municipal Plan (2011), there is a push to explore TDM initiatives aimed at promoting alternative modes of transportation, such as transit, cycling, and walking. In other words, there is a push to reduce the mode share of single occupancy vehicles, which is anticipated to reduce parking demand. No single occupancy vehicle modal split reduction target February 8, 2018 136 12 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John was specified, therefore a conservative TDM reduction of 5% was assumed over the 10 year analysis period. Exhibit 3.2 presents the projected peak hour parking demand reduction due to TDM over the 10 year horizon period. Exhibit 3.2: Parking Demand Reduction due to Modal Split Changes Assuming a 5% mode share reduction is achieved over the 10 year horizon, a parking demand decrease of 170 vehicles is anticipated compared to existing conditions. 3.3 Parking Supply Changes and New Developments within the Uptown Peninsula Study Area The increased activity of existing land uses and the modal split reduction of personal vehicles is anticipated to result in a net growth in overall parking demand across the entire Uptown study area. However, the impact of new developments and parking supply changes is anticipated to be localized to areas within close proximity to the new developments or parking supply changes. Therefore, a micro level assessment of each potential future development and parking supply change was undertaken to develop an understanding of the parking related impacts. Planned and anticipated future developments, and parking supply changes were determined through discussions with City staff. The developments and parking supply changes and their respective impacts is summarized in Exhibit 3.3. Exhibit 3.3: Planned/Anticipated Future Developments and Parking Supply Losses *Note: the parking supply estimates presented in Exhibit 3.3 are current as of December 2017 and are subject to change as project details are finalized and more developments are proposed. February 8, 2018 137 13 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John The Canterbury/Princess and Canterbury/Grannan lots are anticipated to be fully closed. Additionally, two new parking garages are proposed for the Uptown core. A 530 parking space JDI Garage and a 320 parking space Irving Oil Garage which is anticipated to replace the existing 125 parking space King Street East lot. Neither parking garage will be open to the general public. However, the JDI garage will serve JDI employees who are currently parking in municipal lots, which is anticipated to reduce the parking demand experienced by the affected lots. When reallocating the JDI employee parking demand to the new garage, it was assumed that 80% of the employees with permits were parked between 1-2 PM, due to the fact that not all employees are in the office on any given day. This assumption is considered a conservative estimate as a 100% assumption is not realistic and would further reduce the projected future parking demand. Considering the parking supply changes presented in Exhibit 3.3, parking demand was reallocated to lots that are within acceptable walking distance (300 — 400 metres) and operating under effective capacity. Parking demand was redistributed in the following manner: • Canterbury & Princess lot closure demand reallocated to the following lots: — Canterbury Street and Princess Street lot; — Port Saint John lot; and — Coastguard (Water Street) lot. • Canterbury & Grannan lot closure demand reallocated to: — Coastguard (Water Street) lot; — Brunswick Square garage; and — Trinity Royal lot. • King Street on -street parking conversion excess demand reallocated to: — Prince William Street; — Charlotte Street; and — Princess Street lot. • JDI Garage: demand reallocated to the JDI garage from the following lots: — Peters Street lot; — Paddock Street lot; — Price Edward Square lot; — Waterloo Street and Exmouth Street lot; — Duke Street and Sydney Street lot; — Sewell Street and Dorchester Street lot; and — Peel Plaza garage. • Irving Oil Garage: demand reallocated to: — Duke Street and Sydney Street lot; and — Peters Street lot. 3.4 Projected Uptown Parking Summary This section consolidates all parking supply and demand changes outlined in the previous sections, and examines the Uptown parking system's projected future performance. Exhibit 3.4 illustrates the projected future parking utilization during the period of peak demand.

OL hn rg i vr' 4-0 o b Q� rn (Y) 00 0 LL LL IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John In summary, the assessment of Saint John's future parking situation revealed the following: • During the period of peak demand, the Uptown parking system is projected to operate with a utilization of 62% utilization. Both on- and off-street parking systems are projected to operate below effective capacity; • The Coastguard (Water Street) lot (89%), Duke Street and Sydney Street lot (86%), Market Square Underground lot (87%), Sewell and Dorchester lot, (90%), St. Joseph's Hospital (103%), Sydney Street lot (99%), Trinity Royal (88%), Prince William Street lot (106%), and Water Street — Harbour Building lot (91 %) are projected to operate above effective capacity; • While several street segments and lots are projected to operate above effective capacity, there is sufficient parking supply within acceptable walking distance to accommodate any excess demand; and • Based on these results, the parking demand in the Uptown Peninsula is expected to increase compared to existing conditions, but still operate below capacity. A parking supply expansion is not considered necessary. This estimate is based on all known and potential redevelopment projects identified at the time this report was prepared, and is therefore subject to change as the details of these projects affecting the Uptown Peninsula's parking supply are finalized. 3.5 Coastguard Lot Closure Sensitivity Analysis Through discussions with City staff, potential plans for a major development were identified that if constructed, would replace the two Coastguard lots on Water Street. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to estimate the effects the development would have on local and system -wide parking operations. Currently, the Rear and Water Street Coastguard lots have capacities of 169 and 99 spaces, respectively for a total of 268 spaces. There is the potential to replace some of the lost parking spaces within the development, however as a worst case scenario, all 268 parking spaces are assumed to be lost. The proposed development is assumed to provide sufficient parking to meet the Saint John Zoning by-laws. In other words, the development is assumed to provide sufficient on-site parking to accommodate the generated parking demand. Similar to the redistribution of parking spaces in Section 3.3, existing parking demand from the two Coastguard lots were reallocated to lots within 300-400 metres with available capacity. Demand was reallocated to the following facilities: • St. Patrick Street lot; • Compark Union Street lot; • Union Street lot; • Smythe Street lot; and • Brunswick Square Garage. The two Coastguard lot closure sensitivity analysis revealed the following: During the period of peak demand, the Uptown parking system is projected to operate with 65% utilization. Both on- and off-street systems are anticipated to remain below capacity; and In addition to the lots previously identified Section 3.4, the following additional lots are projected to operate above effective capacity: February 8, 2018 140 16 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John • St Patrick's Street lot (91 %); • Union Street lot (93%); • Compark Union Street lot (86%); and • Smythe Street lot (86%). 4 Parking Strategy Development 4.1 Best Practices Review A best practices review was undertaken to draw upon experiences and standards that have been successfully established in the Maritimes and Ontario. Saint John's parking prices and fees, parking by-law regulations (vehicle and bicycle), and cash -in -lieu of parking policies are compared to those of other similarly sized municipalities. The following municipalities were selected: • City of Belleville (Ontario); • City of Brantford (Ontario); • City of Fredericton (New Brunswick); • City of Kingston (Ontario); • City of Moncton (New Brunswick); • City of Peterborough (Ontario); • City of Pickering (Ontario); • City of St. Catharines (Ontario); and • City of St. John's (Newfoundland). 4.1.1 On -Street Parking Limit Saint John's maximum on -street parking duration was compared to those of similar municipalities. The comparison results are presented in Exhibit 4.1. Exhibit 4.1: Maximum On -Street Parking Duration Comparison Belleville 2 Hours Brantford 2 Hours Fredericton 4 Hours Kingston 2 or 3 Hours Location Dependant Moncton 2, 4, or 12 Hours Location Dependant Peterborough 2 Hours Pickering 3 Hours St. Catharines 3 Hours St. John's 2 Hours Saint John 2 Hours February 8, 2018 141 17 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John In general, comparable municipalities allow on -street parking up to 2 or 3 hours. With the objective of maximizing turnover and the availability of on -street parking, Saint John is recommended to maintain the existing 2 hour parking limit. 4.1.2 Parking Rates To determine whether the current parking rates are appropriate, Saint John's hourly and monthly parking rates were compared with those of the similar municipalities. The hourly and monthly results are presented in Exhibit 4.2 and Exhibit 4.3, respectively. Several municipalities provide a range of parking prices, which vary depending on location. For these municipalities, the average parking prices were used. Exhibit 4.2: Hourly Parking Rate Comparison $2.07 $L5c $x..07 $0.50 $c.f As presented in Exhibit 4.2, Saint John's hourly parking rate appears to be in the middle range among comparable municipalities suggesting that the current $1.50 rate is appropriate. Hourly rates are observed to range between $1.00 and $1.75, with parking free in Pickering. Exhibit 4.3: Monthly Parking Rate Comparison r_RM RM 0� YQ �b r As presented in Exhibit 4.2, Saint John's hourly parking rate appears to be in the middle range among comparable municipalities suggesting that the current $1.50 rate is appropriate. Hourly rates are observed to range between $1.00 and $1.75, with parking free in Pickering. Exhibit 4.3: Monthly Parking Rate Comparison r_RM RM 0� OR, �b r As presented in Exhibit 4.3, Saint John's monthly parking rate appears to be the third highest among comparable municipalities, indicating that further monthly parking rate increases may not be appropriate in the immediate future. Note that parking is free in Pickering, while monthly February 8, 2018 142 18 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 - PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John parking rates in St. John's and Moncton are significantly higher than the other comparator municipalities. 4.1.3 Parking Fines Parking practices are regulated by the City of Saint John Zoning By-law (ZBL). Parking fines range from $20 for an expired parking meter/pay & display to $75 for parking in an accessible parking space without a permit. Exhibit 4.4 compares several common parking related violations in Saint John to those of the similar sized municipalities. Exhibit 4.4: Parking Fines Comparison With the exception of parking in an accessible space without a permit, Saint John's parking fines appear to be consistent with the other municipalities. Saint John is recommended to increase the fine associated with the accessible parking violation to $300 to match the best practices established in the comparator municipalities. It should be noted that Saint John has an incremental fine structure where the longer the ticket is unpaid, the larger the fine becomes. The parking fines shown for Saint John in Exhibit 4.4 reflects the initial fine. Incremental fines were not observed in any of comparator municipalities, but the structure is considered beneficial as it provides an incentive for fines to be paid sooner. Note that the maximum fine associated with an accessible parking violation is $100 (if paid after 30 days), which is still significantly lower than the accessible parking fines of the comparator municipalities. 4.1.4 Vehicle Parking Requirements Saint John's parking requirements, specified in Section 4.2 of the ZBL, were compared to those of similar sized municipalities. Residential, office, retail, and restaurant land uses were selected for the comparison as these land uses comprise the majority of the Uptown Saint John, and therefore form the most effective comparison. It should be noted that some municipalities specify different requirements for different zones. For these municipalities, the Downtown zone was selected for the comparison.

Exhibit 4.5 summarizes the comparison results. February 8, 2018 143 19 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 - PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John Exhibit 4.5: Parking Requirement Comparison The City of Saint John's parking requirements are generally observed to be consistent with the average of comparable municipalities. Note that to promote growth, Saint John grants a 20% parking requirement reduction to developments within designated Intensification Areas. The Uptown Peninsula study area is designated as an Intensification Area. Two notable examples are Fredericton where the parking requirements are significantly lower than the other comparator municipalities, and St. Catharines which provides a parking exemption for residential land uses within parts of the Downtown core. The parking exemption policy's objective is to promote new residential developments within select areas. Parking rates of 1.00 and 1.25 spaces per unit are in effect in all other areas for single unit dwellings and apartment buildings, which is in line with Saint John's requirements. Parking exemptions are not necessarily recommended for Saint John, but merely outlining some of the trends in other cities. St. Catharines might slightly modify this policy in the future, due to large growth projections. A growing trend among municipalities is the implementation of maximum parking requirements within the Downtown core, which sets a limit on the maximum number of parking spaces permitted per development. The maximum requirements are intended to serve as a TDM measure to control the Downtown core's parking supply. 4.1.5 Bicycle Parking Requirements The bicycle parking requirements highlighted in Section 4.5 of Saint John's ZBL were compared to those of other similar sized municipalities.

Exhibit 4.6 shows the bicycle parking requirements of each municipality. February 8, 2018 144 20 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John Exhibit 4.6: Bicycle Parking Requirement Comparison For non-residential land uses, Saint John's bicycle parking requirements are based on the number of vehicle spaces required. This practice is not recommended as limiting the number of bicycle spaces on the basis of vehicle parking is not desirable. In some cases, applications for vehicle parking requirement reductions are justified through the provision of additional bicycle parking spaces, suggesting an inverse relationship. Saint John is recommended to adopt bicycle parking requirements similar to Moncton and Pickering, where the requirement is based on gross floor area. As an initiative aimed at promoting alternative modes of transportation, Saint John could consider slightly increasing the existing residential bicycle parking requirement. Section 4.2 further explores transportation demand management (TDM) measures Saint John could consider adopting, such as the provision of shower and change facilities, and sheltered bicycle parking. 4.1.6 Shared Parking Shared parking involves the use of one parking facility by more than one land use. The practice aims to reduce the overall parking requirement by taking advantage of the respective land use's different parking demand patterns by time -of -day. For example, employment land uses traditionally experience a peak parking demand during weekday business hours while residential land uses peak during weekday evenings and weekends. Shared parking ensures that parking facilities are not designated for any particular user, but operate as a pooled parking resource. This strategy can be considered on a "micro" scale within a single mixed use development, or on a "macro" scale between several developments. Exhibit 4.7 shows the shared parking reductions of comparable municipalities.

This practice is not recommended as limiting the number of bicycle spaces on the basis of vehicle parking is not desirable. In some cases, applications for vehicle parking requirement reductions are justified through the provision of additional bicycle parking spaces, suggesting an inverse relationship. Saint John is recommended to adopt bicycle parking requirements similar to Moncton and Pickering, where the requirement is based on gross floor area. As an initiative aimed at promoting alternative modes of transportation, Saint John could consider slightly increasing the existing residential bicycle parking requirement. Section 4.2 further explores transportation demand management (TDM) measures Saint John could consider adopting, such as the provision of shower and change facilities, and sheltered bicycle parking. 4.1.6 Shared Parking Shared parking involves the use of one parking facility by more than one land use. The practice aims to reduce the overall parking requirement by taking advantage of the respective land use's different parking demand patterns by time -of -day. For example, employment land uses traditionally experience a peak parking demand during weekday business hours while residential land uses peak during weekday evenings and weekends. Shared parking ensures that parking facilities are not designated for any particular user, but operate as a pooled parking resource. This strategy can be considered on a "micro" scale within a single mixed use development, or on a "macro" scale between several developments. Exhibit 4.7 shows the shared parking reductions of comparable municipalities. February 8, 2018 145 21 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John Exhibit 4.7: Shared Parking Reduction Comparison The cities of Fredericton and Moncton have shared parking policies that grant a parking reduction if the proposed development is mixed use. This is not considered ideal as many land uses can experience peak parking demands at similar times, in which case reductions are not considered appropriate. Saint John could consider adopting a shared parking policy similar to the City of Pickering, where the granted shared parking reduction is based on land use, time -of - day, and day type (weekday or weekend). 4.1.7 Cash -In -Lieu Cash -in -lieu of parking is a policy used in many Canadian municipalities as a mechanism to address parking supply management. It can be used to: • Facilitate redevelopment where providing parking on-site is either too costly or difficult due to site configuration or condition (i.e. heritage); • Encourage shared or short-term parking strategies, discourage vehicle use, and encourage and potentially fund transit; • Intensify and re -urbanize Downtown cores (especially former surface lots); • Protect heritage buildings; and • Assure property owners that sufficient parking opportunities will be available. Cash -in -lieu of parking policies generally focus on a specific geographic area, often a Downtown core or an area that the municipality has targeted for intensification or redevelopment. These policies allow developers to pay cash as an alternative to providing the minimum number of parking spaces required by the Zoning By-law. The collected funds are placed in a parking reserve fund, and are normally used for the acquisition, improvement, and construction of municipally owned parking facilities. The construction of municipal parking through cash -in -lieu funds allows a municipality to own parking Downtown, and therefore control the parking supply and pricing, while supporting desired land uses. Cash -in -lieu is most commonly used for office developments, but is also seen in some municipalities for retail and residential buildings. Municipalities may build additional parking in order to encourage a mix of uses in the Downtown core and support economic development policies. February 8, 2018 146 22 Belleville - Brantford - Fredericton Outside the CBD, developments containing both residential and non-residential uses, qualifies for a 15% parking space reduction for the non-residential uses only Kingston - Moncton Mixed use developments qualify for a 10% parking requirement reduction Peterborough - Pickering The Zoning By-laws provide a shared parking reduction rate based on the land use, day type (weekday or weekend), and time of day St. Catharines - St. John's - Saint John - The cities of Fredericton and Moncton have shared parking policies that grant a parking reduction if the proposed development is mixed use.

February 8, 2018 146 22 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John The City of Saint John does not currently have a cash -in -lieu policy in place. Through consultation with comparable municipalities, cash -in -lieu rates were gathered and compared to guide the City of Saint John in proposing rates if there is interest to implement a cash -in -lieu policy. Exhibit 4.8 summarizes the results. Exhibit 4.8: Cash -in -lieu of Parking Rate Comparison As presented in Exhibit 4.8, approximately half of the consulted municipalities do not have a cash -in -lieu of parking policy. When assessing the rates of municipalities that currently have a policy, the cash -in -lieu rates range between $2,500 and $7,000 with an average rate of approximately $5,100. Through discussions with Brantford staff, current practices were determined to require each developer to work with City staff in determining an appropriate rate on a case by case basis. Brantford is currently reviewing its cash -in -lieu of parking policy and a set rate is expected in the near future. Many other large municipalities use a cash -in -lieu rate that represents approximately 50% of the costs to provide municipal parking, either in structures or surface lots. The rationale for this is due to the shared use nature of the municipal parking supply, where a single space is able to serve the parking needs of various land uses throughout the course of a day. Considering this best practice approach, an appropriate rate for Saint John will depend on the local context for constructing additional parking. This would require further investigation outside of this parking strategy study. 4.1.8 Monthly Off -Street Parking Permit Sales As observed during the parking utilization surveys, there is an opportunity to expand upon the number of permits sold at several off-street permit lots. Considering the target utilization of 85% and the observed peak weekday demand, it is estimated that up to 450-500 additional permits can be sold and distributed between the Uptown permit parking system. To err on the side of caution, the sale of additional permits is recommended to be increased in a phased manner to ensure that permits are not oversold. Following each phase, Saint John is recommended to monitor the resulting utilization prior to further releasing additional permits. February 8, 2018 147 23 Belleville - No current cash -in -lieu policy Brantford _ Cash -in -lieu rate determined on a case by case basis through discussion with city staff Fredericton $7,000.00 Kingston $4,904.70 Moncton $2,500.00 Peterborough $6,000.00 Pickering - No current cash -in -lieu policy St. Catharines - No current cash -in -lieu policy St. John's - Cash -in -lieu rate determined based on cost of constructing indoor parking in the area subject to the Downtown Parking Standard Saint John - No current cash -in -lieu policy Average $5101.18 As presented in Exhibit 4.8, approximately half of the consulted municipalities do not have a cash -in -lieu of parking policy.

Following each phase, Saint John is recommended to monitor the resulting utilization prior to further releasing additional permits. February 8, 2018 147 23 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John 4.2 Transportation Demand Management (TDM) TDM initiatives are used by municipalities to influence travel behaviour. This improves transportation system efficiency and helps manage parking demand by decreasing the volume of single -occupancy vehicles on roads and in parking lots. These initiatives take many forms, including policies, programs, services, and products to influence why, when, where, and how people travel. In Saint John, TDM measures can be applied to manage long-term parking demand, while supporting mobility to, from, and within the Uptown core. This section outlines different approaches that the City is currently employing and opportunities the City could consider implementing as part of this parking strategy. 4.2.1 Carpooling Currently, the City of Saint John does not run a dedicated carpool program within the Uptown core. However, informal carpool and parking and ride lots are located along Route 1 in the Rothesay and Quispamsis areas. Additionally, Saint John currently supports one key aspect of a carpool program — marketing and support — as part of the annual Commuter Challenge transportation challenge each June. This event celebrates active and sustainable transportation and rewards walking, cycling, carpooling/ride-sharing, taking transit and telecommuting, and has seen some of the highest participation in the province. For municipalities, the Carpool Incentive Programs Manual' recommends four core components for an effective carpool program including: An online carpool matching service There are many online tools for setting up a regular carpool. Prospective carpoolers enter their origin, destination, departure and arrival time, and whether they prefer to be a driver or passenger. The tool connects them with others making a same or similar trip. 2. Preferred carpool parking in parking lots Many municipalities have begun offering preferred carpool parking in major facilities to entice carpooling, including Calgary, Hamilton, and Ajax. These reserved spaces are located in popular parking lot locations such as near major entrances / exits and require groups to register to receive a special decal or permit. They are most effective near office employment uses, such as Downtown areas, which generate a large percentage of daytime peak trips. 3. Marketing and promotion Marketing and promotion to potential commuters is an important step in initiating a successful carpool program. Effective approaches include: • Posters and information signs posted at or near the carpool spaces; • A dedicated webpage that is search -engine optimized for users; • A postcard or handout that can be shared with major employers and businesses in the area; and • Internal communications with City staff who work in close proximity. 4. Incentives and rewards Direct or indirect financial incentives are a strong force to encouraging carpooling, especially in areas where parking is plentiful, free, or low-cost. Currently the City of Saint John runs the ' (US Environmental Protection Agency, 2005) February 8, 2018 148 24 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John Commuter Challenge to promote carpooling through events and incentives. Other possible incentives can include: • Reduced permit parking rates for carpoolers. Carpoolers must apply for a carpool permit and only vehicles displaying this permit are permitted to park in the designated carpool spaces; • Emergency parking day passes (e.g. 2 per month) for when carpoolers have to travel separately; • An Emergency Ride Home program that reimburses registered carpoolers in case of unexpected events that require a vehicle to deal with; • Monthly or quarterly giveaways (e.g. travel mugs, t -shirts, or gift cards); and • Coupon book for local restaurants and entertainment. 4.2.2 Cycling 4.2.2.1 Existing and Planned Bikeways On -road bicycle facilities are gradually being implemented on City streets as part of infrastructure renewal projects and other strategic initiatives. The most recent initiative was the completion of an on -road cycling route from the University/Hospital area to the Uptown. The route follows University Avenue, Millidge Avenue, Somerset Street, Churchill Boulevard, Visart Street, Adelaide Street, and Simonds Street to connect with Harbour Passage. This is an important AT connection in the City and was identified as a top priority in the 2010 Trails and Bikeways Strategic Plan. In addition to the Uptown -North End connection, designated on -road bicycle facilities can be found on sections of Manawagonish Road, Westfield Road, and Rothesay Road. Bike lanes in Saint John have been installed for several years, however these lanes are not linked together to form a defined route. With a large number of residents, institutions, and jobs within a 5 km distance of Uptown, providing a safe, connected, and year-round cycling network could help reduce vehicle and parking travel demand to the Uptown core. February 8, 2018 149 25 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John Exhibit 4.9: Existing Active Transportation Infrastructure 4.2.2.2 Bike Parking and Supporting Facilities The provision of adequate, safe, and convenient bike parking and supporting facilities are important to encourage cycling as a regular mode of transportation for residents, commuters, and visitors. Like automobile parking, there is a need for both short-term bike parking for visitors and long-term bike parking for residents and commuters. Short-term bicycle parking, also known as Type 2, is used for a few minutes to a few hours. They are available for public use and typically located in an easily accessible location, such as the entrance of the building. Some are sheltered, either by a building overhang or separate shelter, to provide some protection from the weather. Within Uptown Saint John, there are 7 locations where a bike ring is present, and 1 higher - capacity bike rack at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. This is something that can be improved. It is recommended that sufficient bicycle parking opportunities be provided near major destinations throughout the City as a whole, in addition to Uptown. The City should also examine expanding short-term bike parking to areas just outside of Uptown core, especially in areas that serve as a destination in the City, such as shopping malls, parks, and recreation centres/arenas. This should include installing covered and/or weather protected racks. Long-term bike parking, also known as Type 1, provides an enhanced level of security for bikes that are parked for longer periods of time. This type of parking includes controlled -access bike cages, bike rooms, and bike lockers. Accessing this type of parking requires an individual to "sign-up" for access with a key fob or access card. It would be beneficial to examine incorporating a Zoning By -Law requirement for land uses such as Offices, Apartment Buildings, Hospitals, and Major Transit Stations, where workers and residents can park their bikes for long periods of time. Similarly, the City could show leadership by installing a secure Uptown bike facility for its employees and nearby commuters. A number of municipalities have taken this approach, including the Cities of Hamilton, Mississauga, Kitchener, and Toronto. February 8, 2018 150 26 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John Similarly, providing dedicated showers and changing facilities enables cyclist commuters to rinse off and change out of their commuting gear before starting their day. The City could consider offering incentives to businesses that install cyclist showers and change facilities in large office employment developments, and could install them at all major City worksites. 4.2.2.3 Bike Sharing Not every person who enjoys cycling for exercise, recreation, and as a mode of transportation is able to cycle, due to not having their own bike available for use. A form of cycling infrastructure that exists in many municipalities including Toronto, Hamilton, and Ottawa is bike sharing. Bike sharing is ideal for short distance point-to-point trips within a city, and provides the ability for members to pick up a bicycle at any station and return it to any other bike station within the covered area. Bike sharing is useful for those who do not own their own bicycle, as well as those who use multiple modes of transportation to move around. The City of Saint John does not officially operate a commercial bike sharing program, however since 2014 there has been a successful bike sharing program operating out of the Crescent Valley neighbourhood, relying on donated bikes to be repaired and shared with residents who do not own a bike. It would be beneficial for the City to build on this success with expansion and support of a city-wide bike sharing program. 4.2.3 Public and Private Transit 4.2.3.1 Existing Service Saint John is served by a combination of local and regional buses. The terminal is served by: 22 regular routes operated by Saint John Transit. The route scheduling varies by line, but generally the main routes operate roughly every half hour on weekdays and Saturdays, and hourly on Sundays. The west -side, north and south routes operate roughly hourly on weekdays and Saturdays, and do not operate on Sundays. The east -side routes operate roughly every half-hour on weekdays and hourly on weekends. 3 Comex (express BRT service) operated by Saint John Transit, which operate to/from Hampton, Kennebecasis Valley, and Quispamsis during the weekday peak hours; and Coach bus service operates out of the Maritime Bus Terminal near Harbour Station in Uptown Saint John through Maritime Bus. Maritime Bus runs regular service to many destinations in the Maritime Provinces and into Quebec, including 4 trips/day service to Moncton, 3 trips/day service to Halifax, and daily service to Quebec City and Montreal. Current Saint John Transit fares are displayed in Exhibit 4.10.

In 2014, Enterprise Carshare launched in Sackville, the first such program in New Brunswick. This is an initiative that Saint John could consider investigating, as the City has a significant population of students and residents where travel to and from Uptown would be supported by car sharing. 4.3 Parking Outside the Uptown Core 4.3.1 Existing Residential Permit Program Parking outside of Saint John's Uptown Core is generally free. To aid local residents in finding parking opportunities where spaces are unavailable off-street, Saint John offers a Residential Zone Parking Permit Program. The program's intent is to reduce the competition for scare curbside space on residential streets by enforcing a two hour parking time limit while granting exemptions to residential permit holders. Any individual who does not have access to off-street parking and who resides within the designated area may apply for a residential parking permit. Permits cost $48.00 per year with temporary weekly permits available for $7.00. February 8, 2018 152 28 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John 4.3.2 Best Practices Review St. John's St. John's offers a residential permit program to Uptown residents who do not have access to off-street parking. Uptown residents can submit a complaint/request, which the City will investigate. If considered appropriate, local residents in close proximity of the requested area will be surveyed to determine whether they are in favour of the program. The program is only granted if the majority of the local residents are in favour. When the program is in effect, parking within the designated area is restricted to users displaying a valid residential parking permit. Note that residents are not guaranteed a parking space in -front of their residence. However, the program does prevent non-residents from occupying on -street parking spaces within the designated area. Moncton The City of Moncton offers residential parking permits to individuals living in close proximity to the Moncton Hospital to provide local residents with the ability to park in front of their homes. Permits are free of charge. Kingston Kingston offers local residents a parking program that provides permit holders an exemption to the 1 hour maximum limit on weekday mornings and afternoons. Permits are generally not required to park on -street during other times. Applicants must be a resident of the pre -defined permit area to be eligible, and permit holders may only park in the pre -defined areas. Permits do not guarantee a parking space and holders may not park on -street during snow events. In addition to the residential parking program, the City of Kingston offers an accessible parking program. Under the program, permit holders are provided with a designated on -street parking space in a location decided through consultation between City staff and the applicant. To be eligible, applicants must possess a provincially issued accessible parking permit and not have any parking at their residence. The registered vehicle is exempt from the time restrictions otherwise in effect and may park for a maximum of 72 hours. St. Catharines The City of St. Catharines offers residential parking permits at a cost of $40 for a 12 month term. Permit holders are exempt from maximum hourly restrictions when parked in a legal parking space, but are not exempt from time -of -day restrictions. For example, between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, on -street parking is permitted along Yates Street for a maximum of two hours. The residential parking permit allows permit holders to exceed this two hour parking limit. The residential permit program is valid city wide where "maximum time limit" or "residents only zones" are posted. The valid residential permit must be displayed in vehicle. Peterborough The City of Peterborough currently offers an overnight residential on -street permit program. Overnight permit parking is only available in areas where off-street, driveway, or laneway parking is unavailable and where 51 % of the affected residents support the program. The existing residential parking program is currently under review and subject to change. Pickering While not formally a residential permit program, the City of Pickering does grant requests to exempt individuals from the 3 hour parking limit under special circumstances such as out of town guests or driveway repairs. A maximum of 21 days per year is permitted to each individual. February 8, 2018 153 29 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John Other Comparator Cities The Cities of Fredericton, Belleville, and Brantford do not offer residential parking programs. 4.3.3 Programs for Consideration In addition to the current residential parking program, Saint John could consider adopting the following two programs: Residential Parking Only Program; and/or Accessible On -Street Permit Program. Residential Parking Only Saint John's residential permit parking program applies a balanced approach to parking. Local residents are provided with priority while visitors are still permitted to park, albeit for a controlled duration. An alternative program completely restricts on -street parking to users displaying a valid residential parking permit. This program is more suitable in locations where on -street parking is desired to be limited, or where the residential parking demand is projected to be very high, such as locations with student housing. Accessible On -Street Permit Program In addition to the residential on -street parking program, Saint John could consider adopting an on -street accessible parking program similar to the City of Kingston. Under the accessible on - street parking program, permit holders would be provided with a designated on -street parking space in a location decided through consultation between City staff and the applicant. On the question on whether accessible parking should be free, there are three reasons why it is not advised: Few Canadian cities offer completely free disabled parking. Those that do, or have special exemptions such as time limits are typically very large cities such as Toronto, Mississauga and Ottawa where the large parking supply can absorb the loss of parking revenue from free parking; The Ontario Ministry of Transportation has reported on the growing amount of disabled parking permit misuse in the province. Such misuse stems from using expired permits, transferring permits, using fake permits, and using permits when no longer required. Such misuse should not be rewarded with free parking; and One objective of accessibility is to achieve transportation equity wherever possible. This means the ability to those with accessibility limitations to park on and off street as conveniently as possible. Equity should not extend to free parking when the rest of the public pays. 4.4 Impacts of On -Street Parking on Street Maintenance 4.4.1 Existing Maintenance Practices To facilitate street maintenance (cleaning and snow removal), the City current employs two strategies, alternative side parking and temporary overnight snow ban. Alternate Side Parking Parking is permitted on the odd -number side of the street between the 1 st and 15th day of each month while parking is permitted on the even -numbered side between the 16th and last day of the month. This strategy allows the City to clean, remove snow, and maintain both sides of the street while providing continuous on -street parking opportunities. February 8, 2018 154 30 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John A changeover period exists between 6:01 PM to 12:00 AM on the 15th and last day of the month to provide on -street parkers a grace period and ensure a smooth transition. Temporary Overnight Snow Ban To provide crews an opportunity to clear the road network of snow, the City can issue a temporary overnight on -street parking ban on streets identified in Schedule Q of the Saint John Traffic By-law. The parking ban remains in effect between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM of the next day. During on -street parking snow bans, the City provides residents free parking opportunities in designated off-street lots throughout the Uptown core. Residents are permitted to park in these lots between 6:00 PM and 7:00 AM the following day. Overnight parking is permitted in the following lots during snow bans: • Princess Street and Canterbury Street lot; • Duke Street and Sydney Street lot; • Peters Street lot; • Carmarthen Street lot; • Mecklenburg Street lot; • Charlotte Street and Queen Street lot; and • Water Street lot. Residents may also park overnight in the Carleton -Sewell parking garage for $5.00 during snow bans. 4.4.2 Best Practices Review Belleville To facilitate snow clearing activities, the City of Belleville prohibits on -street parking between 1:00 AM and 6:00 AM on all city streets from November 2 to April 14 of the following year. Additionally, during a snowstorm, vehicles are not permitted to stop on any street between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM of the following day. Outside of the November 2 to April 14 winter restrictions, overnight parking is prohibited on all curbed streets. Brantford Similar to Saint John, the City of Brantford has adopted the alternating side of on -street parking policy. Parking is permitted on the one side of the street between the 1St and 15th day of each month while parking is permitted on the other side between the 16th and last day of the month. Brantford's policy differs from Saint John's with respect to the changeover period. Where Saint John provides a six hour changeover period between 6:01 PM to 12:00 AM, Brantford provides a 15 hour transition period between 9:00 PM and 12:00 (noon) of the following day. Additionally, to facilitate snow clearing activities, Brantford prohibits on -street parking on designated snow routes during snow bans. Fredericton Overnight parking within Downtown Fredericton is not permitted between 2:30 and 6:30 AM year round. Additionally, during winter months (December 1 to March 31), the overnight restriction is extended to 12:00 (midnight) and 7:00 AM to facilitate snow removal. The extended restriction is in effect regardless of the presence of snow. February 8, 2018 155 31 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John Kingston The City of Kingston has adopted the alternating side of on -street parking policy to facilitate street cleaning. Alternate side parking is only in effect on certain streets that are considered too narrow to support on -street parking on both sides. Parking is permitted on the one side of the street between the 1 St and 15th day of each month while parking is permitted on the other side between the 16th and last day of the month. Additionally, to facilitate snow clearing activities, Kingston prohibits on -street parking on all City streets from December 1 to March 31 between 1:00 AM and 7:00 AM. Moncton To facilitate snow clearing activities, Moncton prohibits on -street parking on all City streets from December 1 to April 15 between 12:00 (midnight) and 7:00 AM. Peterborough Peterborough has adopted the alternating side of on -street parking policy to facilitate street cleaning. Parking is permitted on the one side of the street between the 1St and 15th day of each month while parking is permitted on the other side between the 16th and last day of the month. To facilitate snow clearing activities, Peterborough prohibits on -street parking on all City streets from December 1 to April 1 between 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM. Additionally, when snow clearing operations are underway during a snowstorm, vehicles are not permitted to stop on any city street. Vehicles are permitted to park at any municipal off-street lot while winter parking restrictions are in effect. Pickering To facilitate snow clearing activities, Pickering prohibits on -street parking on all City streets from December 1 to April 15 between 12:00 (midnight) and 7:00 AM. St. Catharines Parking is prohibited on all Regional Roads between 2:00 AM and 6:00 AM year round. Additionally, parking in metered on -street spaces in the Downtown core is prohibited between 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM throughout the year. To facilitate snow clearing activities, St Catharines prohibits on -street parking on all City streets from December 1 to March 31 between 2:00 AM and 5:00 AM. St. Catharines publishes an annual fall street cleaning schedule online and simply encourages residents to refrain from parking on -street during the time street cleaners are scheduled in the neighbourhood. St. John's The City of St. John's annually posts a Downtown core street cleaning schedule online. Parking on streets scheduled to be cleaned is restricted during the nights specified. Street cleaning outside the Downtown core is not scheduled. To facilitate snow clearing activities, St. John's prohibits on -street parking on all City streets from the first Wednesday of January to early spring (exact dates published online) between 12:30 AM and 7:30 AM. 4.4.3 Practices for Consideration Saint John's existing street cleaning and winter road maintenance practices are determined to be similar to those of the reviewed comparator municipalities. February 8, 2018 156 32 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John Several municipalities employ a street cleaning strategy similar to Saint John's alternate side parking restriction strategy. However, Saint John could consider adopting a scheduled Uptown street cleaning strategy similar to St. John's. The existing alternate side parking restrictions would be maintained outside of the Uptown core while the restrictions would be rescinded within the core and a street cleaning schedule developed. This strategy would allow on -street parking on both sides of Uptown streets during the majority of the year, with on -street parking restricted during the short period while street cleaning efforts are underway. In the event the City adopts the scheduled Uptown street cleaning strategy, Saint John is recommended to maintain the alternate side strategy on streets considered too narrow to support parking on both sides. Snow clearing practices slightly vary between municipalities in terms of the start and end times, and the period during which the winter restrictions are in effect. The winter parking restrictions are ideally tailored to the local climate of each municipality, therefore Saint John's existing restrictions are recommended to be maintained. 5 Conclusions and Recommendations Based on the study findings, the following conclusions and recommendations are drawn: Existing Parking Supply and Demand Uptown Saint John parking supply is comprised of 5,806 parking spaces divided in the following manner: — 1,270 on -street parking spaces; — 21420 municipally owned off-street parking spaces; and — 21116 privately owned off-street parking spaces. The system wide peak hour occurs between 1-2 PM, with 3,398 of 5,806 spaces occupied (59% utilization). The on -street parking system peaks at 54% occupancy while the off-street system peaks at 61 % occupancy. Considering these results, the Uptown parking supply in 2017 is considered sufficient to accommodate the weekday parking demand at all times. While sufficient parking opportunities are provided system wide, individual lots and street segments are observed to operate near or at capacity. However, there are sufficient parking opportunities within acceptable walking distance (300 - 400m) to accommodate any excess demand. During Friday evenings within the restaurant district, parking demand exceeds the peak demand observed during the typical weekday operations. However, based on local knowledge, parking utilization is known to rapidly decrease as a function of distance from the restaurant district. Sufficient parking opportunities are anticipated to be available within the publically accepted walking distance. Future Parking Projections Future parking demand within the Uptown Peninsula is anticipated to be impacted by the following factors: — Parking demand growth due to population growth in the Saint John region (1.15% growth per year, or 12.2% over the 10 year horizon); — Targeted personal vehicle modal split reduction (5% over the 10 year horizon); February 8, 2018 157 33 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John — New developments within the study area; and — Parking supply losses or gains. • Future parking demand in the Uptown Peninsula is expected to increase compared to existing conditions, but still operate below effective capacity. During the period of peak demand, the Uptown parking system is projected to operate with a utilization of 62% utilization. Both on- and off-street parking systems are projected to operate below effective capacity. • In the event a potential development replaces on the two existing Coastguard lots, the Uptown parking system is projected to operate with a utilization of 65%. Both on -street and off-street parking systems are anticipated to remain below effective capacity. • Similar to existing conditions, individual lots and street segments are projected to operate near or at capacity. However, sufficient parking opportunities are anticipated to available within acceptable walking distance (300 - 400m) to accommodate any excess demand. • Recommendation: Based on these results, a parking supply expansion is not considered necessary. Parking Strategies • In general, comparable municipalities allow on -street parking up to 2 or 3 hours. — Recommendation: With the objective of maximizing turnover and the availability of on -street parking, Saint John is recommended to maintain the existing 2 hour parking limit. • Based on a review of similar municipalities, Saint John's hourly and monthly parking rates appear to be appropriate. — Recommendation: No immediate rate increases are necessary. • With the exception of parking in an accessible space without a permit, Saint John's parking fines appear to be consistent with the other municipalities. — Recommendation: Saint John is recommended to increase the fine associated with the accessible parking violation to $300 to match the best practices established in the comparator municipalities. • The City of Saint John's parking requirements are generally observed to be consistent with the average of comparable municipalities. — Recommendation: No changes are considered necessary. • Recommendation: For non-residential land uses, Saint John is recommended to adopt bicycle parking requirements similar to Moncton and Pickering, where the requirement is based on gross floor area rather than the number of vehicle spaces required. • Recommendation: Saint John could consider adopting a shared parking policy similar to the City of Pickering, where the granted shared parking reduction is based on land use, time -of -day, and day type (weekday or weekend). • Recommendation: Saint John could consider adopting a cash -in -lieu rate that represents approximately 50% of the costs to provide municipal parking, either in structures or surface lots. This would require further investigation outside of this parking strategy study. February 8, 2018 158 34 IBI GROUP FINAL REPORT CITY OF SAINT JOHN TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIC PLAN PHASE 2 — PARKING STRATEGY Prepared for City of Saint John As observed during the parking utilization surveys, there is an opportunity to expand upon the number of permits sold at several off-street permit lots while remaining below the effective capacity threshold. It's estimated that up to 450-500 additional permits can be sold. — Recommendation: Saint John is recommended to increase the numbers of permits sold in the appropriate lots. A phase approach is recommended where the number of permits sold is increased incrementally in small amounts. This will prevent overselling. Recommendation: Improve upon existing TDM measures to promote alternative modes of transportation. Potential TDM measures include carpooling, cycling, transit, and carshare. Saint John's residential permit parking program applies a balanced approach to parking. Local residents are provided with priority while visitors are still permitted to park, albeit for a controlled duration. Recommendation: Additional residential permit parking programs Saint John could potentially adopt include: — Residential parking only: completely restricts on -street parking to users displaying a valid residential parking permit; and — Accessible On -Street Permit Program: accessible permit holders would be provided with a designated on -street parking space in a location decided through consultation between City staff and the applicant. Saint John's existing street cleaning and winter road maintenance practices are determined to be similar to those of the reviewed comparator municipalities. — Recommendation: Saint John could consider adopting a scheduled Uptown street cleaning strategy similar to St. John's. The existing alternate side parking restrictions would be maintained outside of the Uptown core while the restrictions would be rescinded within the core and a street cleaning schedule developed. This strategy would allow on -street parking on both sides of Uptown streets during the majority of the year, with on -street parking restricted during the short period street cleaning efforts are underway. Snow clearing practices slightly vary between municipalities in terms of the start and end times, and the period during which the winter restrictions are in effect. • Recommendation: The winter parking restrictions are ideally tailored to the local climate of each municipality, therefore Saint John's existing restrictions are recommended to be maintained.

Known as MoveSJ, the plan is examining all facets of transportation in Saint John with the aim of developing strategic, long-term recommendations for multi -modal mobility over a 25 -year period. As illustrated in Exhibit 1.1 below, the study is being conducted in three phases: Research, Plan Development, and Plan Finalization. This report, part of the MoveSJ's second phase, forms the second part of the Transit Strategy, which is establishing a vision for the provision of future transit service in Saint John.

The transit system review examined the current state of transit in Saint John and identified strengths and opportunities to improve the system in the short-term. This report builds on the findings of the system review to provide a long term vision for Saint John Transit. It also outlines a long term service strategy for the system to achieve the vision. While the vision considers the system as a whole, the service strategy identifies components of the system and recommends actions to improve them and achieve the vision. The service strategy is the foundation for rebuilding the system after the challenging funding outlook in the short term. February 8, 2018 165 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John 1.3 Report Structure This report is structured in four sections to provide long term direction for the system. • Section 2 provides a long term vision and goals, which forms the strategic framework for this report; • Section 3 presents a service strategy for the system, identifying a hierarchy of services and a future investment allocation that can be used to achieve the long term vision; • Section 4 describes supporting guidelines for the service strategy, and supporting strategies for the system as a whole, including performance monitoring; and • Section 5 outlines an implementation plan with a focus on the actions to prioritize in the short term, and resources required over the long term. February 8, 2018 166 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John 2 Strategic Framework 2.1 Context Challenging Geography The city's development over time has resulted in various outlying low-density and rural settlement areas within the municipal boundaries. As a result, Saint John Transit has routes connecting small, sparsely populated rural communities to trip generators in and around the city centre. In addition, the growth of suburbs in Kings County (including Hampton, Quispamsis and Rothesay) has resulted in high travel demand between these areas and Saint John. Since 2007, Saint John Transit has been providing peak period service on three routes to connect suburban residents to Uptown Saint John. The system's outward expansion limits its ability to improve services both in the core and outlying areas. Worsening Performance Since 2010, ridership has declined 21 %, while the amount of service has decreased by 18%. Inflation-adjusted operating costs have dropped by 13% over this time, meaning that the hourly cost to operate the service has increased. These trends reflect a transit system in need of a renewed vision and substantial restructuring. An Information Vacuum There is presently minimal quantitative information about the performance of specific routes, or even the transit system as a whole. This, in turn, makes it very difficult to monitor and improve service provision. Improvements will only be possible in an environment in which senior management is aware of performance trends to ensure service provision matches customer needs. Funding Uncertainty Saint John is facing a budget shortfall that will require transit to make budget cuts over the next three years. This document provides a framework to invest in the system's core services while exploring innovative options to ameliorate the impact of the cuts. This should put the system in a position to rebuild services in the long term. 2.2 Vision In 2011, the City of Saint John completed a comprehensive study to develop a new Municipal Plan that will provide direction for the growth and development of Saint John forward to 2040. The Municipal Plan, known as PlanSJ, was undertaken with considerable community engagement and captures the aspirations of citizens for the City's future. The PlanSJ Vision is to achieve a more urban focused City by prioritizing the transformation of key neighbourhoods through new investment, population and growth. In support of that Vision, PlanSJ aspires to develop and maintain a balanced transportation system that meets the needs of all community members. Providing guidance towards achieving this strategic direction is the primary purpose of MoveSJ, which provides long term recommendations for multi -modal mobility. The implementation of both plans would result in a more walkable and transit -oriented Saint John, where residents can enjoy the amenities of their city without having to rely on personal vehicles. Being cognizant of the role of transit in achieving this vision, Council identified "accessible, reliable and cost effective public and active transportation" as one of its 2016 — 2020 priorities. February 8, 2018 167 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John Despite the commitment to achieving these goals for Saint John's land use and transportation systems, the city faces various challenges in their implementation. As the city's population shifts towards the surrounding suburbs and becomes more dispersed within the municipal boundaries, the outcome is a decline in the tax base and higher costs to the municipality for the provision and maintenance of services. This leaves the City of Saint John with few options to maintain its municipal budget. For Saint John Transit, which relies on the City for a significant portion of its operating and capital costs, this presents a significant challenge. The system previously faced budgetary constraints that led to service cuts in 2011 and 2012, and has yet to recover from the ensuing ridership decline. Nevertheless, transit continues to play a significant role in improving quality of life by providing access to opportunity. Given the challenges faced by Saint John Transit, the long term vision is to stabilize core services and provide mobility and choice for residents with an efficient and cost-effective transit system. 2.3 Goals To achieve the vision, four main goals have been identified. These goals will guide the service strategy and inform the performance monitoring framework. The goals for the transit system are: • Stabilize Core Services: Given the uncertainty in short term funding, Saint John Transit will focus on stabilizing its core services, ensuring that an effective level of service forms the foundation for the system's rebuilding efforts in the long term. • Mobility and Choice: Saint John Transit will provide access to opportunities for residents who choose not to drive, or are unable to drive. Transit will provide an alternative to driving for residents of the city to encourage a shift towards a more sustainable community and improve the quality of life of residents. • Efficient: Saint John Transit will create a hierarchy of services that allows for performance standards and targets that are suited to the type of service. It will provide more direct services to connect major trip generators, and explore innovative options to provide a base level of mobility connecting neighbourhoods to services. • Cost -Effective: Saint John Transit will monitor the performance of existing services and establish guidelines to inform investment into the system. The service guidelines will be used to prioritize between competing demands for service provision. These goals support the overarching vision for the City of Saint John established in PlanSJ, to renew and stabilize the urban core, while recognizing the needs of strategic improvements in the suburban and rural developments. They pave the way for a service strategy that focuses on improvements to core services and explores innovative options to serve outlying areas prevalent in the City of Saint John. February 8, 2018 168 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John 3 Service Strategy The City of Saint John is currently experiencing a budget shortfall and, as a result, Saint John Transit is faced with cutting $500,000 from its budget annually over the next three years. The magnitude of these cuts means that service will have to be reduced—likely by a substantial margin. If it is assumed that all savings are derived from service cuts, applying Transit's current average hourly operating cost of $95.65 yields an annual service reduction of 5,200 revenue vehicle hours until 2020. Exhibit 3.1 shows the revenue vehicle hours between 2005 and 2017, as well as the projected revenue vehicle hours considering these proposed service cuts. By 2020, the system will have faced a 16% reduction in service hours, down to approximately 82,000 revenue vehicle hours. Exhibit 3.1 Revenue Vehicle Hours: 3 -Year Forecast 130K 120K 110K 0 2 M.

This service strategy is therefore designed to stabilize core services in order to ensure that the system is in a position to rebuild its services following the period of funding cuts. To achieve this, the service strategy takes a two-pronged approach: Maintain existing service levels in core areas with some rationalization and enhancement where land uses and travel patterns are supportive of transit; and Explore new options to provide basic mobility to sparsely populated and outlying areas. By taking into account the constrained resources of the system, travel needs, and demographic trends, the service strategy provides a basis for future investment into the system. 3.1 Hierarchy of Service In densely populated areas with many destinations, frequent service that directly connects major trip generators can be cost-effective, efficient and more competitive with other modes of transportation. In sparsely populated areas, there is still a need for basic mobility but frequent, direct routing and adequate coverage cannot be achieved without substantial cost implications. To provide mobility and choice, Saint John Transit should aim to establish a hierarchy of efficient and complementary services with distinct standards and performance targets unique to the services tiers. February 8, 2018 169 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John A hierarchy of service is proposed to help facilitate service planning. Routes can be classified into tiers based on level of service and service area. The link between land use and transportation is a strong determinant in the effectiveness of transit, influencing the community structure, route alignment and in turn, ridership. By creating a service hierarchy that appreciates this relationship, the long term transit vision can be achieved. The service tiers identified in Exhibit 3.2 are designed to support the land uses and functions of their service coverage areas. They are also designed to be complementary, such that users can benefit from any combination of the services to meet their travel needs. Their accompanying service guidelines, identified in Section 4.1, are useful for performance monitoring and can be a tool to manage public expectations for the system. Exhibit 3.2: Proposed Service Hierarchy Frequent Transit Network The frequent transit network will build on some of the existing high performance routes, increasing frequency to make connections to local feeder services more predictable. It will provide frequent service to major trip generators including Uptown Saint John, UNB, and the Regional Hospital. The frequent transit network can be served by standard buses, and articulated buses when warranted by capacity (e.g. at peak). Local Services The local services will primarily connect residential areas to the frequent transit network and to local trip generators, including neighbourhood institutions and local commercial areas. Local services will provide coverage to residential areas that may not have densities that are supportive of frequent service, but are still likely to experience some transit demand. Local services can be served by standard or light duty buses where demand is lower. Targeted Services Serving low density areas with fixed routes means the costs of operating each run is often unsustainably high, particularly given the limited opportunities to increase ridership. Despite these challenges, a base level of mobility is needed for these communities to ensure equity, access to opportunities and choice for residents. The Targeted Services category is proposed to serve these areas with alternative forms of public transportation other than fixed route service. These services can generally be characterized as either fully demand -responsive transit services or hybrid flexible transit services, as described below: February 8, 2018 170 Frequent Transit Network . Trunk -lines connecting to major trip generators • Operating in the core areas of the City which have many trip generators, and higher densities. • Routes should be direct and frequent • Minimum 15 -minute headways Local Services . Feeder routes primarily connecting residential areas to major trunk lines or local trip generators (institutions, commercial areas) • Routes focus on increased coverage to residential areas over frequency to increase ridership • Headways can range between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on demand Targeted Services . Flexible/demand responsive transit options to connect people in very low density areas to main trunk lines Frequent Transit Network The frequent transit network will build on some of the existing high performance routes, increasing frequency to make connections to local feeder services more predictable. It will provide frequent service to major trip generators including Uptown Saint John, UNB, and the Regional Hospital. The frequent transit network can be served by standard buses, and articulated buses when warranted by capacity (e.g. at peak). Local Services The local services will primarily connect residential areas to the frequent transit network and to local trip generators, including neighbourhood institutions and local commercial areas. Local services will provide coverage to residential areas that may not have densities that are supportive of frequent service, but are still likely to experience some transit demand. Local services can be served by standard or light duty buses where demand is lower. Targeted Services Serving low density areas with fixed routes means the costs of operating each run is often unsustainably high, particularly given the limited opportunities to increase ridership. Despite these challenges, a base level of mobility is needed for these communities to ensure equity, access to opportunities and choice for residents. The Targeted Services category is proposed to serve these areas with alternative forms of public transportation other than fixed route service. These services can generally be characterized as either fully demand -responsive transit services or hybrid flexible transit services, as described below: February 8, 2018 170 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John Demand -Responsive Transit: Also known as dial -a -ride service, this operating model responds directly to passenger requests for transportation. These services are typically used to provide a base level of mobility in sparsely populated areas, or can supplement conventional transit by providing first and last mile service for fixed route transit. This service is typically provided by small vans or contracted taxis in well -delineated areas for the same fare as the fixed -route network. Passengers must pre -arrange their trip, which is then scheduled by a dispatcher. Vehicles are typically dispatched such that rides are shared between passengers. Flexible Transit: This is a hybrid service model that are not fully demand responsive or fixed route. Flexible transit routes enable lower service coverage in low-density, low -demand areas—particularly those that lie between areas of higher demand. These services are characterized by one or more of the following': Route and point deviation: Regularly scheduled routes that deviate from their path to serve demand within a defined zone; Demand -responsive connector: Vehicles that operate on a demand -response basis within a certain zone with defined connection points to the fixed -route network; Request stops: Regularly scheduled routes that serve a limited numbers of undefined stops along the route; – Flexible zones and route segments: Regularly -scheduled routes that operate in demand -responsive mode along certain segments or in pre -defined zones. Technology is playing an increasingly important role in the provision of demand -responsive and flexible transit service. Traditionally, these services have been arranged through telephone calls to a dispatcher who schedules the trip manually or with the aid of scheduling software. As a result of this interaction, travellers are typically required to provide substantial advance notice when booking their trips. However, the emergence of Transportation Network Companies (Ober, Lyft, etc.) and other similar service providers has drastically improved the efficiency of the dispatching process. Vehicles are routed in real-time in response to passenger requests without a dispatcher, increasing convenience to the rider and reducing costs to the transit service provider. The application of this type of technology to public transportation is still very new, with limited examples currently in operation within Canada. The most prominent example is Innisfil, Ontario, which has been in partnership with Uber to provide subsidized transit service since May 2017. It has been found to be a less costly alternative to fixed route transit, with a $5.70 subsidy per ride according to initial estimates. Service is provided 24 hours/day, 7 days/week with an average wait time of 10 minutes from trip request to pick up. 3.2 Future Service Hours Given the funding outlook in the next three years, a key element of the service strategy will be rebuilding services to achieve the long term vision of the system and match the anticipated population growth of the service area. To assist in the rebuilding process, service planning needs to be predictable over time, which requires setting a longer-term target for investment to 2031. The target should take into account anticipated changes in population, as well as the vision and goals of the system. Three options are described below that can be used to facilitate the service planning process. Option A maintains the 2020 level of investment, leaving the revenue vehicle hours the same even as population changes. This option will likely not yield any significant increase in ridership, and will not meet the goals of the transit system to provide ' Transit Cooperative Research Program Report 140: A Guide for Planning and Operating Flexile Public Transportation Services February 8, 2018 171 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John mobility and choice. This scenario targets approximately 82,000 service hours in 2031. • Option B ties investment in revenue vehicle hours to changes in population, with per capita investment reverting to 2017 levels. This scenario focuses on rebuilding the service following the 3 -year period of budget cuts, and represents a 3% annual increase in revenue vehicle hours into 2031. With this level of investment, the frequent transit network as well as improvements to local services can be developed, and targeted services can be expanded. This scenario targets approximately 118,000 service hours in 2031. • Option C increases investment in revenue vehicle hours to match the per capita investment of peer systems. While the current investment in revenue vehicle hours is fairly low, after the forecasted cuts, the system will have a significant funding gap in comparison to peer systems. To reach a similar level of per capita improvements, a 7% increase annual increase in revenue vehicle hours into 2031 will be required. This level of investment will allow for expansion in the frequent transit network and local services. If warranted by demand, additional routes for each service tier and more service areas for flexible services can be explored. This scenario targets approximately 158,000 service hours in 2031. Exhibit 3.3 illustrates the three funding options in terms of additional revenue vehicle hours into 2031. It also shows historic investment in the system, dating back to 2005, and the forecasted revenue vehicle hours over the next three years of service cuts.

PlanSJ forecasts a decrease in the city's population until 2016, followed by a 17% increase by 2031. A majority of the decline to date has been experienced in the urban core, while residential growth is dispersed in rural settlement areas and suburban communities outside the February 8, 2018 172 8 t m 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 —•—Actual Revenue Vehicle Hours --- 2018 - 2020 Forecasted Revenue Vehicle Hours Option A - Maintain Current Investment (as of 2020) Option B - Rebuild Per Capita Investment to 2017 Level Option C - Increase Per Capita Investment to Peer Levels Option B is the recommended target service hours for various reasons.

Option B provides a more moderate approach to increasing service by matching growth to population. This prevents a scenario where the system's growth significantly outpaces demand. Given the vision of the transit strategy, investment in the system will need to be strategic, maintaining and enhancing services to the core which has the highest employment base, while anticipating the impact the aging population and shift toward more rural and suburban settlement patterns will have on travel demand. Strong transit services in the urban core also improve the quality of life there, and may allow more people to age in place, or attract new residents. February 8, 2018 173 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John 4 Supporting Strategies The following strategies should be implemented to work toward achieving the goals of the vision. They have been selected because they: • Outline measures to evaluate the performance of the system to ensure stable core services; • Provide guidelines for coverage and access, improving mobility and choice; • Establish targets to match service to demand ensuring efficient operations; and • Identify performance metrics which are the basis for a cost-effective prioritization of investments. 4.1 Service Guidelines Service guidelines have been developed based on the service hierarchy identified in the service strategy, in alignment with the transit vision and direction of PlanSJ to support a shift towards more efficient transit. It should be noted that these guidelines represent targets against which to design future services rather than strict rules. Complete adherence to these guidelines may not be possible within the funding environment available currently or in the future. 4.1.1 Service Coverage and Access Transit coverage and access is largely determined by land use and the built form. The service strategy is designed to provide a base level of mobility for all residents; however, coverage will vary by service tier. 85% of households and employment should be within a 500m distance of the frequent transit network and the local services, or within a defined catchment area of the targeted services. The catchment area of the targeted services will be determined by their design. An additional measure of access for the targeted services can include minimizing average wait time between trip requests and pick up. Stop spacing for the fixed route services is determined by these coverage guidelines, however it should also aim to balance access for passengers with operational needs. Bus stops along the frequent transit network should be spaced sufficiently far apart to maintain operational efficiency while providing access to major trip generators. A consistent stop spacing regime, with stops about 300 to 400 metres apart on average should be employed. Some exceptions to this spacing might be considered where there are limited trip generators. Route alignment and stop spacing for local services will aim to maximize coverage and access to bus stops along the pedestrian network. The stop spacing along these routes will be less regular than along the frequent transit network as it will be primarily dictated by the street network itself. The average stop spacing should be in the range of 250 to 300 metres. Depending on the design of the targeted services, bus stop infrastructure would be minimal. It would likely be limited to major pick up or drop off areas, as service would primarily be door-to-door. Trips within the catchment area could be door-to- door, and trips outside the catchment area could be completed by transferring to the frequent transit network or the local network at major terminals, where stops or drop off areas would be required. Exhibit 4.1 summarizes the proposed coverage and accessibility guidelines by service tier. February 8, 2018 174 10 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John Exhibit 4.1 Service Coverage and Access Guidelines 'As identified in Schedule A of Plan SJ These service coverage and access guidelines can also be used to inform whether service to new developments is warranted. If new developments occur within existing fixed route coverage areas, stop spacing should be reviewed to ensure that the service coverage and access guidelines are met. If developments occur outside of existing fixed route service areas, and defined catchment areas for targeted services, they should be reviewed for inclusion in a target service catchment before reviewing whether to expand fixed route services. 4.1.2 Levels of Service Level of service for a transit route is reflected by the service span, frequency of the route, and standard vehicle load. In keeping with the service strategy identified in Section 3.1, the long term goal for level of service can be distinct for each service tier as identified below. Span of Service The Frequent Transit Network should operate for 18 hours a day, starting at 6:00 a.m. on weekdays; 16 hours a day, starting at 7:00 a.m. on Saturdays, and 12 hours a day starting at 7:00 a.m. on Sundays and statutory holidays. The Local Services should operate for 16 hours a day, starting at 6:00 a.m. on weekdays; 15 hours a day, starting at 7:00 a.m. on Saturdays, and 12 hours a day starting at 7:00 a.m. on Sundays and statutory holidays. The span of Targeted Services, although designed to be flexible in nature, will vary by design and availability of vehicles. At a minimum, however, services should be available over the same span is that offered for Local Services. These service spans are consistent with the peer systems and most small- to mid-sized systems in Canada. However, they can be reviewed based on demand and resources to consider late evening service on Sundays and statutory holidays, and late night service on Fridays and Saturdays. Frequency of Service The Frequent Transit Network should operate every 15 minutes on weekdays, and 30 minutes on weekends; if demand warrants it and resources are available, 15 minute headways on weekends can be explored in the long run. The Local Services frequency can vary by time of day and day of week. At peak periods on weekdays, the goal should be to provide half hour headways for the high performing routes. Headways should be hour-long otherwise, unless warranted by demand. On weekends and statutory holiday buses can operate hourly unless demand warrants it. February 8, 2018 175 11 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John Targeted Services are designed to be responsive to demand, and as such will not have any specific frequencies. Rather than use frequency as a measure of level of service, the aim should be to minimize wait times between trip requests and pick up. These frequencies are similar to current frequencies, with the exception of those on the frequent transit network. The main routes currently have effective 15 minute service on weekdays until 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. where their routes overlap with routes 5, 6, 7, 8 — so there is an opportunity for rationalization when implementation is considered. Vehicle Standard Load It is recommended that the maximum passenger load per bus should not exceed the following guidelines: Weekday peak periods — on average, not exceeding 130% of the seated capacity or 50 passengers on a 12 metre bus All other times — on average, not exceeding 100% of the seated capacity or 37 passengers on a 12 metre bus On average, the maximum load on a bus should not repeatedly exceed 130% of the rated seating capacity of the bus regardless of time period. When the vehicle loading repeatedly reaches the above levels, consideration should be given to reduce the headways, add extra buses, or introduce limited -service routes to supplement the main service. 4.2 Performance Monitoring and Evaluation This section identifies performance metrics to measure the effectiveness of the service. It also identifies the technology, data needs, and collection strategies needed to evaluate the performance metrics. Finally, it outlines management reporting requirements and periodic monitoring of the system to ensure the system is on its way to meet the goals and long term vision. 4.2.1 Performance Metrics Performance metrics ensure that service guidelines are met, and that the system meets the needs of its users as well and its long term vision and goals. The performance metrics selected balance the needs of the users and operators of the system, as well as the community as a whole. The metrics defined below for each service tier can be used to identify when corrective action may be required. Service Utilization measures the rate of trips per revenue service hour. Service utilization gives an indication of whether the system is meeting capacity. Automatic Passenger Counters (APC) or traditional ride counts are required to collect the boarding and alighting activity. Schedule Adherence can be measured by the on-time performance of the system — i.e. how closely arrival and departure times conform to the published schedules. This is particularly important for transfer -heavy system such as Saint John, as the on-time performance affects ability to make transfers for users, and system reliability for operators. Current industry standard defines early arrival as more than 1-5 minutes before the scheduled time, and late arrival as more than 3-5 minutes after the scheduled time. Early departure is defined as 1 minute or more before the scheduled departure time, and late departure is defined as more than 5 minutes after the departure time. Saint John should aim for the industry standard in schedule adherence, or better, due to the system's heavy transfer activity. February 8, 2018 176 12 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John Because of the demand responsive nature of the targeted services, the service utilization measure should be used in conjunction with a measure of the rides per capita in the defined catchment area to more accurately evaluate the effectiveness. Ridership for the targeted services can be measured manually. Cost Recovery: The revenue/cost (R/C) ratio indicates the percentage of operating costs which are recovered from revenues (farebox revenues plus revenue from advertising, charters, etc.). In 2016, Saint John Transit's R/C ratio was 47% --well above its peer group average of 37%. A higher R/C ratio discourages transit use through higher fares and/or reduced service levels, which hinders the attractiveness of transit. A lower R/C ratio would permit service levels to be improved which could encourage more transit use. Although service expansion would require increased municipal investment on transit, these impacts could be minimized through careful planning and efficient operations and increased ridership. It is proposed that Saint John Transit strive to achieve a cost recovery ratio consistent with its peers (37%). Exhibit 4.2 shows the targets by service tier for the performance metrics identified above. These targets should be refined during service plan reviews and re-evaluated with any changes to the system. Exhibit 4.2 Performance Targets by Service Tier i Service Utilization Productivity (Rides per Service Hour) Peak Service 30 20 3 Offpeak/Evening Service 20 10 Schedule Adherence (Target % of buses meeting the on- 95% time performance standard) Cost Recovery Operating revenues/ Operating costs 37% *Service Utilization measures for targeted transit will vary by the design of the system and vehicle types. Performance should be reviewed in conjunction with the rides per capita of the defined service area. 4.2.2 Technology In order to measure the performance of the system based on the performance metrics identified, Saint John Transit will need to identify data collection strategies best suited to the system, as well as invest in technology. Data will be needed to measure schedule adherence and service utilization. Automatic Passenger Counters (APC) are the industry standard for collecting ridership data. APCs provide route ridership data, which gives the average boarding, alighting, and passenger load information for each run. Passenger boarding and alighting information can also be collected by stop, and travel time for each route segment is available. Saint John Transit currently has 10 buses with passenger counters, representing about a quarter of its fleet. Until the whole fleet is equipped with passenger counters, it is recommended that these buses should travel along every part of every route repeatedly to collect base level data on route performance. Additionally, manual ride counts should be undertaken to validate the accuracy of the APC counts. In some instances—particularly on low -ridership routes—APCs are known to over-estimate ridership because of incorrect counting of strollers, wheelchairs, or operators entering/exiting vehicles at terminal February 8, 2018 177 13 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John locations. However, these inaccuracies can be accounted for by comparing APC statistics to manual counts and adjusting reported APC counts going forward. In addition to APCs, Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) systems can be considered to provide accurate vehicle tracking for on -road monitoring of buses. Collecting this type of data can have immediate impacts on system performance, in addition to the benefits for the performance monitoring process: it provides on -road supervisors with real-time information to identify issues. 4.2.3 Management Reporting In addition to the performance metrics identified in Section 4.2.1, which provide different targets for each service tier, the performance of the system as a whole should also be monitored and evaluated for management reporting purposes. The system -wide data can be reviewed overtime to understand system trends, and as a benchmarking tool for comparison to the performance of peer systems. These measures are already currently collected for CUTA reporting purposes and include: • Cost Recovery (Revenue/Cost Ratio) • Revenue Vehicle Hours per Capita • Annual Ridership, which can also be provided by route and by fare type • Service Utilization — including fleet utilization The measures outlined above, as well as those in Section 4.2.1, should be easily accessible by decision makers. To inform decision makers, it may be useful to provide monthly reports outlining unscheduled maintenance and revenue information by fare type. Information such as on-time performance and ridership by route can be provided over longer intervals to better identify trends. 4.2.4 Service Plan Reviews Regular service plan reviews of a transit system are important to ensuring that the system meets the needs of residents and aligns with the city's growth patterns. In addition, they present an opportunity for independent appraisal of the system to review performance. Service plan reviews differ from annual service plans, which are informed by service guidelines and are a tool to implement the recommendations of the service plan reviews by allocating budgets and revenue service hours on an annual basis. Service plan reviews are typically conducted at 5 year intervals in order to provide medium-term, tactical direction. If the service plan recommends changes, a 5 -year interval is an appropriate amount of time to allow them to take effect before evaluating them. Service plan reviews are also a good opportunity to outline capital plans and projects, as well as review fares and other revenue streams. The service plan review process is an opportunity to check in with the long term goals of the system to ensure that the system is moving in the right direction. As the community served changes, the process is an opportunity to re-examine service and performance guidelines to ensure they're still relevant. 4.3 Organizational Collaboration Transit operations are supported by various City functions, and as such, collaboration is necessary to ensure efficient service delivery. Some city processes that can improve the transit operations and access for users include: Working with City roadway maintenance services to: February 8, 2018 178 14 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John — Prioritize snow removal on transit routes; and — Create a process for communication anticipated road closures, construction, and other potential disruptions to transit operations. Collaboration with City GIS Division to develop a new system map, in addition to the existing individual route maps, to improve access for passengers. Improving bus stop facilities by: — Working with City community planning service to create processes for the provision of passenger amenities at bus stops, including lighting, shelters, and benches through the development process; — Developing a program to improve bus stop accessibility as well as sidewalk connections to stops; and — Working with City sidewalk maintenance services to prioritize maintenance and snow removal on pedestrian links connecting to bus stops, and at bus stops. Working with City by-law and traffic enforcement to ensure regulations are being followed (e.g. no stopping or parking in bus stop zones, Yield to Bus laws etc.) to ensure ease of transit operations. Working with City growth and community development services to explore opportunities for transit priority measures (e.g. HOV/bus lanes, signal priority etc.) in Primary Corridors to improve schedule adherence. 4.4 Transit Supportive Development The key benefit of transit supportive development is that it helps transit to function efficiently. When transit is efficient, it can be competitive with driving and support growth while alleviating congestion. PlanSJ includes various transit supportive development policies aimed at making the provision of transit in Saint John efficient. It does so by being cognizant of the impact land use decisions and the built form have on the effectiveness of transit. It encourages growth to be directed at neighbourhood intensification areas in both urban and suburban areas to ensure appropriate densities and mixed land uses — both of which are supportive of transit. It also designates Primary Corridors where the adjacent land uses are supportive of improving transit ridership, and the corridors are designed with transit needs in mind. Transit supportive street design features may include HOV or bus lanes, turn restrictions, and parking and stopping restrictions along routes. In addition, pedestrian friendly features such as wide sidewalks, benches, and pedestrian level lighting should be encouraged to connect to bus stops. PlanSJ also encourages street layouts that facilitate effective transit operations for new developments, as well as connectivity for pedestrians and active transportation between adjoining neighbourhoods. February 8, 2018 179 15 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John 5 Implementation Plan This section outlines service directions for the short, medium and long term to develop the hierarchy of service. It also identifies the resources and investment required for each service tier to meet mode share targets and a timeline for investment. 5.1 Short Term Focus Areas Due to forecast budgets reduction over the next three years, short term recommendations focus on maintaining core services and finding opportunities to implement flexible transit. The work done in the service review and the service guidelines identified in Section 4.1 help to establish which services are part of the core of the system, and which can be candidates for flexible transit options. Exhibit 5.1 outlines the changes recommended in the service review at a route level, while Exhibit 5.2 highlights areas of Saint John for potential service expansion and service reduction. The opportunities for improvements outlined in Exhibit 5.1 can be explored through annual service plans and the service plan review process. As noted in the Transit Strategy's first phase report, dedicated planning staff and software for scheduling work will facilitate these processes. Exhibit 5.1 Service Review Key Route by Route Findings The candidate routes for Targeted Services (12, 25, 32) are selected based on their reported performance and by the rides per capita in each traffic zone according to the 2015 Household Travel Survey and 2011 Census. These routes represent approximately 6% of annual service hours and may be eligible for rationalization. However, due to the absence of up to date performance information, they should be further studied by staff to examine the feasibility of replacing them with flexible transit.

These routes represent approximately 6% of annual service hours and may be eligible for rationalization. However, due to the absence of up to date performance information, they should be further studied by staff to examine the feasibility of replacing them with flexible transit. February 8, 2018 180 16 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John Exhibit 5.2: Short -Term Focus Areas for Transit Expansion and Rationalization 0 February 8, 2018 181 17 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John 5.2 Service Directions Frequent Transit Network Short Term Goal: Service should be maintained for the routes comprising the frequent transit network, and alignment can be reviewed to ensure the routes are direct while meeting recommended coverage guidelines. Long Term Goals: To achieve minimum 15 minute headways and provide timed transfers to local services at major terminals. Improvements to bus stops should be considered to limit dwell times at high demand stops (e.g. level and all -door boarding). To operate on corridors with transit supportive features (e.g. HOV/transit lanes, transit signal priority) Local Services Short Term Goal: Current services should be maintained on high -performing local routes, and opportunities to increase coverage or rationalize redundant service in low ridership areas should be explored Long Term Goals: To provide more coverage than the frequent transit network, which focuses on direct routing. To provide 30 to 60 minute headways with timed transfers that are easy to understand to and from the frequent transit network. Bus stops should be easily accessible along the pedestrian network and passenger amenities (shelters, lighting, benches etc.) should be provided at stops to make transit more attractive. Targeted Services Short Term Goal: Saint John Transit can explore the option of flexible transit on a pilot basis to serve some of their low performing fixed routes — particularly those serving outlying areas. The service can be designed to partner with local taxis, or Saint John Transit can operate it with smaller community buses. Long Term Goals: Serve low density outlying areas with flexible services that connect to fixed -route services. Minimize wait times between trip requests and pick up, and minimize travel time. Use flexible services to explore expansion into new service areas. February 8, 2018 182 18 IBI GROUP REPORT SAINT JOHN TRANSIT LONG TERM VISION Prepared for the City of Saint John 5.3 Resource Requirements The preferred investment scenario identified in Section 3, Option B, recommends rebuilding services to the 2017 per capita spending levels. In 2020, after the budget cuts, the system will be operating with approximately 82,000 annual service hours. The Option B target is approximately 118,000 hours, an increase of 36,000 by 2031. This represents an additional 3,300 hours to the system annually. Exhibit 5.3 is a summary of the conceptual operating characteristics of the 2031 network on weekdays and weekends. This summary does not include the Comex routes, which require approximately 4,500 service hours annually. This scenario requires approximately 98,500 annual service hours, with 68,500 annual hours for the frequent transit network, and 30,000 annual hours for the local services. The remaining 20,000 service hours (i.e. approximately $200,000) can be used toward providing targeted services. With this allocation, the frequent transit network can be comprised of 5 routes with 30 to 40 minute cycle times, 15 minute headways on weekdays, and 30 minute headways on weekends and statutory holidays. The Local services can be comprised of 7 routes with 30 to 60 minute cycle times. 3 of the 7 routes can have 30 minute headways at peak on weekdays. This also allows Saint John Transit to maintain route 33 as an express service operating during peak periods. On weekends and statutory holidays, the local services can operate with hour long headways. This allocation allows some route realignment, to streamline the frequent transit network routes and to increase coverage on the local service routes. A review of route alignments should be conducted to ensure coverage and access guidelines are met. The number of 40 -foot buses required to operate the 2031 system is reduced, due to the reduction in fixed routes. This scenario requires 21 buses for peak period services, plus a 20- 25% spare ratio, for a total of 27 buses. While this is fewer than the system currently operates, Saint John Transit may opt to operate their target services and will need to acquire the appropriate fleet for that purpose. Exhibit 5.3 2031 Conceptual Network Operating Characteristics Summary February 8, 2018 183 19 2018 ABC Written Submission Template To operate a first class Conference Centre comparable to other centres of its size in North America. To be an economic driver for the community. The facility functions as a venue in which to host meetings, conventions & special events and as a hub to host a broad range of events for the local community. Hilton Saint John manages the Centre on behalf of the City of Saint John. Hotel Management report to both the 'Greater Saint John Regional Facilities Commission' and to the 'Saint John Trade & Convention Centre Oversight Committee'. Provides employment for up to 90 people during peak events. The Centre operates within a budget approved by the 'Greater Saint John Regional Facilities Commission' The Centre's primary revenue streams are : a) meeting room rentals b) food and beverages sales c) audio visual / power / broadband Planned upgrades for 2018 within the centre are rolling out on schedule. Ice machines are being upgraded, and other kitchen equipment enhancements will be made to complete refurbishment of the kitchen space. LED lighting will be installed in foyer to align with other LED conversions in much of the rest of the centre. All revenue and expense numbers are shared with both the Regional Facilities commission and the TCC Oversight Committee at various times throughout the year. After the first trimester, the operation is on track to budget and expectations for the year. The first trimester of 2018 has been a bit soft as the larger events for the year are concentrated in May — November. Revenues are down slightly to budget but expenses have been mitigated and centre is operating in line to budgeted contribution. The softer numbers were anticipated as there were no large April events as in 2016 and 2017 (Telus Cup and ECMAs). In 2017, for every $1 invested in the TCC, $12 were distributed within the community. Delegates in Saint John for events spent more than $1,000,000 in local restaurants and over $600,000 in local shops. Attendees to conventions often extend their stays to experience more of our destination. In some cases, delegates have made the choice to relocate to Saint John after having such a positive introduction through their convention experience. Throughout 2018, the team at the Trade and Convention Centre will continue to be ambassadors for the city, selling the venue, the experience and the lifestyle that is Saint John. The Saint Awesome brand really resonates in the convention market and team Saint John — comprised of Discover Saint John, the TCC, the Hilton and the Delta — has very high visibility at national and international events. Regularly the team punches above it's weight as evidenced by wins such as World Under 17 Hockey, Canada 55 games and Skate Canada. For the balance of the year, the TCC has a very robust slate of events including the first ever World Cannabis Congress, Canadian Architects, Canada 55 Games and World Under 17 Hockey. Hilton uses a guest satisfaction surveys to assess Trade Centre guest feedback. Based on first trimester results, the centre has seen significant gains in scores for service delivery and satisfaction. Focus will continue on these key metrics to ensure best success for the operation. In 2017 the centre played host to a wide variety of events from Gymnastic competitions to ECMAs; National Dart Tournaments to travelling reptiles and everything in between. 2018 is shaping up to be more of the same with events of all sorts. 2018's events will drive similar spin off into local businesses to ensure the viability and vibrancy of our uptown core. • Need to keep product fresh, relevant and competitive with new centres in Halifax and `E:11 Moncton coming online. Fredericton now has a hotel connected to their facility as well. • Need to ensure pedway system is maintained and accessible to guests with varying mobility as this is a key competitive advantage for Saint John. • Need to ensure escalator and elevator infra structure within Market Square is maintained as recent unplanned outages have created considerable challenges to operation and accessibility. The Trade and Convention is a key economic driver in the city generating an average of over $2,000,000 in ancillary event attendee spending annually. It ensures viability for many business operators within the uptown area and beyond, enhancing the vibrancy of the uptown life style. The visitors the TCC attracts bring new money into our region and are a target market for potential new residents or entrepreneurs for our city. *Objective is to have each written submission no longer than three (3) pages in length. `E:1•'1 COUNCIL REPORT M&C No. M&C 2018 - 169 Report Date May 29, 2018 Meeting Date June 04, 2018 Service Area Transportation and Environment Services His Worship Mayor Don Darling and Members of Common Council SUBJECT: 2018 Lifeguard Service OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. HeadL4 City Manager Marc Doucet Michael Hugenholtz m I Jeff Trail RECOMMENDATION Your City Manager recommends that Common Council award the 2018 Lifeguard Services contract to the Canada Games Aquatic Centre, and further, that the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. REPORT The City of Saint John provides lifeguard services seven days per week from late June until Labour Day at the Dominion Park, Lily Lake, Fisher Lakes and Little River Reservoir beaches. The Canada Games Aquatic Centre (CGAC) has successfully provided these services for multiple contracts in the past, most recently for the 2015 to 2017 seasons. The CGAC has submitted a proposal to continue providing these services for the 2018 season. Considering the experience and qualifications of the CGAC's management and lifeguard staff, the City Parks and Recreation management staff are confident in the abiliy of the CGAC to execute another year of lifeguarding services. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The total cost to provide the necessary lifeguarding services as contemplated in this report will be $163,506 plus HST. liDN -2 - This is an expenditure which has been included in the 2018 General Fund Operating Budget. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES — MATERIALS MANAGEMENT Materials Management have reached out to the marketplace in order to identify if there was interest from other service providers and have found that, at this time, the CGAC are the only enterprise prepared to undertake this endeavor. As such, Materials Management have reviewed this report and are in agreement with the recommendation. ` IYA Ttie city or saint jobm PROCLAMATION WHEREAS: The Friday before Father's Day, many workplaces and individuals will "go plaid" in support of the one in seven men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. HeadCity Manager Rachel Van Wart A Poffenroth /J Hamilton Jeff Trail RECOMMENDATION Your City Manager recommends that Common Council direct one or more of the Officers appointed and designated by Council for the enforcement of the Saint John Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures By-law, to arrange for the demolition of the buildings at 11 Saddlebrook Court (PID# 55207369) and 51 Saddlebrook Court (PID# 55207385), in accordance with the applicable City purchasing policies. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to advise Council that Notices to Comply were issued under Part 13 of the Local Governance Act for the buildings at 11 and 51 Saddlebrook Court. The hazardous conditions outlined in the Notices have not been remedied by the owner within the required time frame and staff is looking for authorization from Council to arrange the demolition of the buildings. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION N/A REPORT Inspections of the property at 11 Saddlebrook Court, PID# 55207369, have revealed there is one building on the premise; a three-storey, single family, wood framed building with attached garage. Staff first became aware of the NOW -2 - property's vacancy in June 2015. Inspection of the property at 51 Saddlebrook Court, PID# 55207385, have revealed there is one building on the premise; a three-storey, single family, wood framed building with attached garage. Staff first became aware of the property's vacancy in April 2012. The properties are located in the City's East Side in a rural residential zone. Both buildings are a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of being open, vacant, by reason of dilapidation and by reason of unsoundness of structural strength. For the reasons described in the attached Inspection Reports, two Notices to Comply (one for each PID) were issued on April 17, 2018 and were posted to both buildings on April 18, 2018 as per section 132(3) of the Local Governance Act that outlines acceptable methods of service. The Certificate of Registered Ownership for the buildings lists the New Brunswick Minister of Finance as the registered owner for both properties, due to a tax sale. The notices were served via registered mail on April 20, 2018. The Notices provided the owner with 30 days to remedy the conditions at the properties. During this time no appeal was formally requested. Compliance inspections were conducted on May 22, 2018 which revealed that the conditions which gave rise to the Notices have not changed since the Notices were issued. Attached for Council's reference are the Notices to Comply that were issued and the affidavits attesting to service on the owner via posting. Also included are photographs of the buildings. The Local Governance Act indicates that where a Notice to Comply has been issued arising from a condition where a building has become a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of dilapidation or unsoundness of structural strength, the municipality may cause the building to be demolished. As required in the Act a report from an engineer is attached to each Notice, forming part of the issued Notice to Comply, and provides the evidence to the buildings' vacancy, dilapidation, unsoundness of structural strength and resulting hazard to the safety of the public. A copy of the letters advising of the Common Council Hearing date and affidavits are attached; they were posted to the front of the buildings on May 24, 2018 and sent to encumbrances and owner via registered mail. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT Enforcement of the Saint John Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures By-law aligns with Council's Vibrant, Safe City priority. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES As is written in the Local Governance Act that a municipality must commence in the proceedings of remedial action, approval of Common Council is required prior to starting demolition activities at the properties. Total cost of the PIM] -3 - demolition work is approximated at $10,000 per building and will take about 2-4 weeks before it is complete. Staff will seek competitive bidding in accordance with the City's purchasing policy and the cost of the work will be billed to the property owner. If the bill is left unpaid, it will be submitted to the Province with a request for reimbursement. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS The City Solicitor's Office provided ownership verification by obtaining the Certificates of Registered Ownership for the properties. Additionally, the City Solicitor's Office registered the Notices to Comply with Service New Brunswick's Land Registry.

Inspection Date: March 9, 2018 Inspection Conducted by: Rachel Van Wart, EIT Introduction Inspections of the property at 11 Saddlebrook Court, PID# 55207369 have revealed that there is one building on the premise (the `Building"); a three-storey, wood framed single family home with attached garage. In 2010, a building permit was obtained to construct a single family dwelling and was subsequently cancelled in January 2013 due to incomplete construction. Staff first became aware of the property's vacancy in April 2012, when construction was halted and the site abandoned, and began standard enforcement procedures. In May 2012, the City of Saint John Common Council closed the street. In June 2013, an Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures Land Gazette Notice was placed on Service New Brunswick Land registry system. In July 2017, the property went up for tax sale and is currently owned by the Province of New Brunswick Minister of Finance. Title has not yet been transferred to the Province of New Brunswick Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, which would be typical practice in a tax sale situation. The property is located in an undeveloped subdivision in the City's East Side in a rural residential zone. The Building is a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of being open, vacant, by reason of dilapidation and by reason of unsoundness of structural strength. Discussion The Building is not in compliance with the Saint John Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures By-law, By-law Number M-30, and amendments thereto (the `By-law"). Unsightly Premise Conditions Subsection 131(1) of the Local Governance Act states: No person shall permit premises owned or occupied by him or her to be unsightly by permitting to remain on any part of such premises (a) any ashes, junk, rubbish or refuse; (6) an accumulation of wood shavings, paper, sawdust or other residue of production or construction; (c) a derelict vehicle, equipment, machinery or the body of any part of a vehicle equipment or machinery, or (d) a dilapidated building. 1. There is an accumulation of junk, rubbish, and refuse on the property. These items include, but are not limited to; discarded construction material such as vinyl siding, vapour barrier, 2x4s, oriented strand board (OSB), doors and broken glass. The aforementioned accumulation of junk, rubbish, and refuse is unsightly. locations has sustained damage in the form of many small holes. There is blue graffiti on the exterior of the Building in numerous locations in addition to the interior of the Building. All windows and doors to the Building are broken with glass broken and removed. On the left side of the Building in the attic area, one piece of 4x8 sheathing, house -wrap and vinyl siding has been removed, exposing the attic area to the elements. The rear deck of the Building has had approximately 5 rows of decking removed. In addition, broken deck guards have been removed, some of which remain hanging with protruding nails. The rear stud wall, sheathing and siding of the attached double -garage has been removed. In addition, half of the stud wall on the right side of the attached garage has also been removed. Soffit on the front of the Building has been removed. The interior of the Building has been completely vandalized, with gyproc, 2x4s, wiring, insulation and vapor barrier completely covering the floor of the first storey. Vacant and Unoccupied Subsection 131(2) of the Local Governance Act states: No person shall permit a building or other structure owned or occupied by the person to become a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of being vacant or unoccupied. The Buildings is a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of being vacant or unoccupied for the following reasons: 1. The Building continues to be found open during routine inspections. Buildings in dilapidated condition and left unsecured from public entry can attract vandalism, arson and criminal activity. This abandoned Building is located in a secluded location and continues to attract vandals. There are two police reports on file. The first, dated May 2014, details an open front door. The second, dated September 2014, details broken windows. The Building is accessible from all sides, as the garage door, front door, windows and some stud walls have all been removed. As the construction of the Building was never completed, there is no power or water to the Building. 2. There is a higher risk of a fire event occurring at the property since it is known to the public that the Building is vacant and because it has been left open and abandoned for a number of years. The Building is adjacent to a rural residential neighborhood on Morrison Road. 3. There is a concern for emergency personnel safety and access to the Building in the event an emergency situation. The City of Saint John Common Council closed the street in May 2012, therefore winter weather could cause difficulties for emergency services attempting to access the Building. The interior water -damaged conditions of the Building pose a hazard to emergency personnel safety and others who may be inside in the event of a fire or other emergency. The water damage to building components could restrict the movement or cause injury to emergency personnel should they need to gain entry to the structure. Dilapidated Building Conditions Subsection 131(3) of the Local Governance Act states No person shall permit a building or other structure owned or occupied by +l,e „e..�,..,, a,. t_..._—�— — �----_� �_ moi_ .• .. .. ... _ 1. Discarded construction debris and vandalized portions of the Building litter the property and pose safety concerns for those entering the Building. Broken glass is scattered around every window. Broken deck guards have been removed and remain hanging from the rear deck with protruding nails. In addition various wooden pieces remain lying around the perimeter of the Building with protruding nails. Vinyl siding has been removed from the Building and damaged in numerous locations. Further pieces of siding could blow off the Building in high winds. The rear stud load bearing wall, sheathing and siding of the attached double -garage has been removed. In addition, half of the stud wall on the right side of the attached garage has also been removed. These missing components of the Building render the structure hazardous and susceptible to failure. The soffit on the front of the Building has been removed and remains hanging. 2. The interior of the Building has been completely vandalized, with gyproc, 2x4s, wiring, insulation and vapor barrier completely covering the floor of the first storey. These conditions pose a tripping hazard to those who may enter the Building. In addition, due to the longevity of exposure to the elements, portions of the flooring system may be water damaged and compromised. Structurally Unsound Building Conditions Subsection 131(3) of the Local Governance Act states No person shall permit a building or other structure owned or occupied by the person to become a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of dilapidation or unsoundness of structural strength. The Building is a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of unsoundness of structural strength for the following reasons: 1. Complete wall assemblies have been removed from the structure of this Building, causing structural unsoundness. The rear stud load bearing wall, sheathing and siding of the attached double -garage has been removed, leaving an unsupported span of approximately 15ft. In addition, half of the stud wall on the right side of the attached garage has also been removed. 2. Due to the longevity of exposure to the elements with open windows and doors, the integrity of the structure has been compromised and water'damage will only continue to deteriorate the structure. From an open window in the basement, the first floor OSB appears to be water damaged as it is saturated and showing colour change, indicative of mould.

In 2010 a building permit was obtained to construct a single family dwelling and was cancelled in October 2012 due to incomplete construction. Staff first became aware of the property's vacancy in April 2012, when construction was halted and the site abandoned, and began standard enforcement procedures. In May 2012, the City of Saint John Common Council closed the street. In June 2015, an Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures Land Gazette Notice was placed on Service New Brunswick Land registry system. In July 2017, the property went up for tax sale and is currently owned by the Province of New Brunswick Minister of Finance. Title has not yet been transferred to the Province of New Brunswick Department of Transportation and Infrastructure, which would be typical practice in a tax sale situation. The property is located in an undeveloped subdivision in the City's East Side in a rural residential zone. The Building is a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of being open, vacant, by reason of dilapidation and by reason of unsoundness of structural strength. Discussion The Building is not in compliance with the Saint John Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures By-law, By-law Number M-30, and amendments thereto (the "By-law"). Unsightly Premise Conditions Subsection 131(1) of the Local Governance Act states: No person shall permit premises owned or occupied by him or her to be unsightly by permitting to remain on any part of such premises (a) any ashes, junk, rubbish or refuse; (b) an accumulation of wood shavings, paper, sawdust or other residue of production or construction; (c) a derelict vehicle, equipment, machinery or the body of any part of a vehicle equipment or machinery, or (d) a dilapidated building. 1. There is an accumulation of junk, rubbish, and refuse on the property. These items include, but are not limited to; discarded construction material. The aforementioned accumulation of junk, rubbish, and refuse is unsightly. pieces lying on the nearby ground, some with protruding nails. The sheathing that remains attached to the Building is discoloured and water damaged. There are ripped pieces of house -wrap hanging from the Building, in addition to pieces scattered around the property. Studs have been removed in the rear wall of the attached garage and basement wall on the left side of the Building. Plastic vapour barrier is hanging and torn inside the Building. Pink insulation also hangs off the rear wall of the Building and is discarded in the basement. The entrance to the split -entry is not complete, with missing stairs, however the entrance landing is visibly sloped and unsound. At the time of the March 9, 2018 inspection, the main floor of the Building was covered with snow. Birds have taken shelter in the basement of the Building with numerous nest resting on the wooden beam. Vacant and Unoccupied Subsection 131(2) of the Local Governance Act states: No person shall permit a building or other structure owned or occupied by the person to become a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of being vacant or unoccupied. The Buildings is a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of being vacant or unoccupied for the following reasons: 1. The Building continues to be found open during routine inspections. Buildings in dilapidated condition and left unsecured from public entry can attract vandalism, arson and criminal activity. This abandoned Building is located in a secluded location and continues to attract vandals. The Building is accessible from all sides, as OSB has been removed exposing stud walls. As the construction of the Building was never completed, there is no power or water to the Building. 2.

The Building is adjacent to a rural residential neighborhood on Morrison Road. 3. There is a concern for emergency personnel safety and access to the Building in the event an emergency situation. The City of Saint John Common Council closed the street in May 2012, therefore winter weather could cause difficulties for emergency services attempting to access the Building. The interior water -damaged conditions of the Building pose a hazard to emergency personnel safety and others who may be inside in the event of a fire or other emergency. The water damage to building components could restrict the movement or cause injury to emergency personnel should they need to gain entry to the structure. Dilapidated and Structurally Unsound Building Conditions Subsection 131(3) of the Local Governance Act states No person shall permit a building or other structure owned or occupied by the person to become a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of dilapidation or unsoundness of structural strength. The Building is a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of dilapidation and ,.r-,....,,,*, -I Ir-- +U- is not water tight, the flooring systems could fail under load should individuals attempt to enter the Building, causing personal injury. The front entrance landing is sloped and unsound. With prolonged exposure to weathering, wood framing lumber will warp and twist. 2. The stud walls that have been removed by vandals impact the structural integrity of the Building. Studs have been removed in the rear wall of the attached garage and basement wall on the left side of the Building. 3. Discarded construction material could cause injury to those entering the property, in addition to construction material that may blow off the Building in high winds. OSB with protruding nails remain lying around the property.
