AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Kevin Loughery / Chris Roberts Kevin Fudge / Ian Fagan John Collin RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Common Council award the purchase of six (6) Sedans - Intermediate All -Wheel -Drive (AWD) vehicles at a total cost of $135,684.00 plus HST to Loch Lomond Mitsubishi. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The city is committed to rationalization of fleet and equipment and the corresponding reduction of the fleet size. The target of the Fleet Utilization project is to remove $300,000 in annual operating costs through standardized vehicle specifications and will allow for a closer standardization of the fleet. This standardization will then assist with further reductions of between 13 and 17 units in phases two and three of the project. The City's Fleet Services Division is to seeking approval to replace seven (7) total existing units with six (6) new units which have either reached or are approaching the end of their useful service lives or with an expiring lease. The City's Fleet Services Division continues to move towards more multi -use / multi -purpose vehicles that can be utilized across service areas and for multiple service needs; as people vehicles, equipment vehicles and tool box vehicles. The specifications of this vehicle allow for cross -utilization. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION Not applicable. 011 -2- REPORT The City manages a fleet of approximately 28 sedans utilized by the City of Saint John, Saint John Fire and Saint John Water. Each year, the City's Fleet Services Division works with various City departments and commissions to identify and replace vehicles which have reached the end of their useful service lives. The purpose of this report is to make recommendations to award the latest tendered vehicles and/or equipment which require Common Council approval. The City currently has approximately 78 vehicles and equipment past their optimal replacement point (ORP, a calculation based on the age of a vehicle, the odometer reading, overall condition and maintenance cost) and this year, vehicles (some of which are the least reliable and most expensive to maintain) will be replaced through the City's procurement processes. The six (6) Sedans- Intermediate All -Wheel -Drive (AWD) vehicles in this recommendation are to replace seven (7) units; 009, 350, P-102, P-105, P-202, P- 207 and P-210. $.,t5,000.00 $.,to,000.00 Lifetime Last Three Years 0RI"I J L: L: P TOYOTA FORD CHEN COMPASS CAMRY F4..115M SE NQ"'idl".id AWID HYBRID $1.5,72.1.24 $1.9,036.47 $28,336.68 $22,055.57 $8,9 '1.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This report aligns with Council's Priority for Valued Service Delivery, specifically as it relates to investing in sustainable City services and municipal infrastructure. SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES This purchase is a planned replacement of existing fleet equipment, approved in the 2020 capital budget. The funds specifically are provided for in the general fleet reserve and water fleet reserve, funded from the respected operating budgets. INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS A public tender call was issued on July 16, 2020 and closed on July 28, 2020. Two (2) companies responded to the tender call by submitting bids. The results are as follows (excluding HST): COMPANY'NAME TENDER; PRICE' Loch Lomond Mitsubishi $22,614.00 Dobson Chrysler Dodge $31,651.50 *Exclusive of HST Staff of Materials Management have reviewed the tenders and have found them to be complete and formal in every regard.

ATTACHMENTS None COUNCIL REPORT M&C No. 2020-212 Report Date August 11, 2020 Meeting Date August 17, 2020 Service Area Transportation and Environment Services His Worship Mayor Don Darling and Members of Common Council SUBJECT: Illegal Dumping OPEN OR CLOSED SESSION This matter is to be discussed in open session of Common Council. AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Tom McGrath Michael Hugenholtz John Collin RECOMMENDATION Your City Manager recommends Common Council receive this report for information. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Saint John actively investigates approximately 100 incidents of "illegal dumping" within the City each year. "Illegal Dumping", "Unsightly Premises", and "Litter" all involve the act of placing unwanted materials on either City property or private lands and in varying degrees. These issues are brought to the attention of City Staff a number of different ways, both by other internal staff or via citizen complaint. For the purpose of this report, we will discuss how these complaints are handled, which City Department has jurisdiction, what City by- laws are involved, the remedies available under those by-laws, and the general processes involved in having the issues rectified . PREVIOUS RESOLUTION N/A REPORT "Illegal Dumping" is the generic term used to describe instances where individuals have placed unwanted items on either City owned property, the City right-of-way (ROW) or on private property. These items could include household refuse, old furniture, cars or car parts, litter, demolition material, old appliances, etc... Often the term "Illegal Dumping" is used to describe instances of dumping !II -2- on City land and the City ROW which is usually cleaned up by Municipal Operations staff at the taxpayer's expense. Acts of "Litter" are related to City property, but on a much smaller scale and are also cleaned up by Municipal Operations staff at the taxpayer's expense. Issues regarding this behavior on private property is often referred to as "Unsightly Premises" which is enforced by Growth and Community Development Services and is cleaned up by either the property owner or City staff at the owner's expense. The City currently has three existing by-laws under which "illegal dumping" could possibly be addressed. The term "illegal dumping" is not defined or used in any of these documents specifically, however, there is language present that refers to the issues that represent "illegal dumping". They are as follows; • M-2: A By-law for the Storage, Collection and Disposal of Solid Waste in the City of Saint John (Solid Waste By-law) • M-30: A By-law Respecting Unsightly Premises and Hazardous Buildings and Structures within the City of Saint John (Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures By-law) • M-24, By-law Prohibiting the Throwing or Depositing of Litter in the City of Saint John (Litter By-law) Municipal Operations staff enforce the Solid Waste By-law and the Litter By-law. Growth and Community Development Services staff enforce the Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures By-law. Solid Waste BV-law (M-2) This by-law governs how the City deals with residential solid waste. There are also provisions that spell out the requirements and responsibilities of commercial entities as it relates to solid waste. The act of "Illegal Dumping" is referenced in section 8(1) of the by-law. It states, ":..no person shall dispose of or cause to be disposed of any solid waste on any private or public lands within the city other than an approved disposal site." This by-law is enforced by Council appointed By -Law Enforcement Officers ("Officers"). Currently, there are two Officers that actively enforce this by-law (the Solid Waste Supervisor and the Solid Waste Operations Manager). The referenced section allows Officers to investigate dumping issues related to City land and ROW's with relative ease. Under this by-law, private property issues are typically related to issues dealing with how commercial entities store their garbage and/or issues that arise due to the improper storage of refuse. The intent of this section and the authority of the Officer under this by-law does not allow this by-law to effectively enforce, investigate, and rectify issues related to "illegal dumping", as it relates to private property. :1 -3- "Illegal Dumping" that occurs on City lands requires the commencement of an investigative process. Once the City is notified of the issue, the Officer will perform a site visit and review photos to determine the extent of the dumping that has occurred. An attempt is made to determine the identity of the offender. In most cases, there is no evidence to determine this with any degree of certainty. If the material appears to have originated from an adjacent and/or nearby property, staff will attempt to contact that property owner and engage them in a conversation regarding the issue. In some cases, the offender will take ownership and agree to remove the dumped materials from City property. Unfortunately, there are many instances where a responsible party cannot be located. In these instances, Staff will be tasked with cleaning up the area and incurring all associated costs. The current Solid Waste By-law is under review to bring it up to date with the provisions of the Local Governance Act. Once updated, the City will be able to impose Administrative Penalty Notices by issuing a Penalty Notice to parties that have been identified as being non -compliant with the by-law. The updated penalty will reflect a minimum fine of $250.00 and a maximum fine of $2,100.00. If the fine is not paid, the City has the option to prosecute by laying an Information in Provincial Court. In all cases, City staff will attempt to engage property owners and create dialogue in an effort to change their behavior and avoid repeat instances of illegal dumping. This has proven successful in many instances. Every situation is different and often requires several hours of investigation to identify a potential offender. Many times the offender conducting the illegal dumping cannot be identified. Some situations can be rectified within a matter of hours. While others may take days or even weeks. Unfortunately, the longer the process takes, the greater the chance the illegally dumped items become a risk to the environment and that the dumping site grows. Depending on the circumstances, the risk may be too great and a decision may be made to deal with the issue as swiftly as possible. Thus abandoning the search for the offender and having City staff perform the clean up at the cost of the tax payer. Litter By-law (M-24) This by-law governs issues related to littering on public streets and sidewalks. The language of the by-law does allow it to be associated with the generic "illegal dumping" circumstances noted previously. However, the intent of this by-law is to deal with much smaller, less significant issues of refuse being deposited on City lands such as City streets, sidewalks and green spaces. In addition, there is no present process in place to administer any type of penalty under this by-law. Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures By—law (M-30) The Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures By-law governs an owner having items on their property that are, under the Local Governance -4- Act, considered to be unsightly. This could include junk, rubbish or refuse, derelict vehicles or vehicle parts and scraps of wood or other by-products of construction. This by-law does not apply to unsightly items on City property or public property. Enforcement of illegal dumping through the unsightly premises by-law is not ideal as the property owner is the one responsible to remedy the violation regardless of whether or not they are the offender. Often times when illegal dumping is reported on private property, the Community Standards Officer will make the owner aware of the unsightly items and work with them to have the property cleaned up. If the owner does not clean-up the property, the City has the ability to issue a Notice to Comply to the owner and if the unsightly items remain on the property, the City staff has the ability to seek authorization from Council to arrange for the cleanup of the property and send the bill to the owner. If the owner doesn't pay the bill, the City can apply to the Province to be reimbursed for the cleanup costs. Conclusion The issue of unwanted garbage and refuse being dumped on a property can be dealt with, at times, by either the Solid Waste By-law or the Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures By-law. Enforcement of these by-laws remains challenging and requires dedicated resources to support. While the focus for the next two years is likely to remain on the City's overall financial sustainability, staff will continue to explore ways to streamline enforcement and to educate the public on the impacts of illegal dumping in the community, including through the reinstatement of the Community Standards Program.

Walkable, bike able, accessible neighbourhoods attract people, jobs and development. Making active transportation accessible improves the lives of residents. Real-estate listings with high walkability scores, on average, have a higher value than similar properties with lower walkability scores. The City of Vancouver reviewed the impact of a recent active transportation corridor project and found that residents near the corridor lived healthier, more active lifestyles after the project was completed. The Sonoran Institute also found that proximity to trails ranked in the top 5 reasons people chose to live where the live - higher than the school system, healthcare, cost of housing and wages. Saint John Cycling and the Coastal Link Trail have identified eight shovel ready active transportation projects that will transform our city. Their proposal has been reviewed by Saint John area MLAs, community stakeholders and shared with the public for their input. I wish to thank Saint John Cycling for their leadership in particular Mr. Nick Cameron, who has invested countless hours on behalf of our community. While I sponsor this motion and fully support the projects, it is Saint John Cycling that deserves full credit. Of the 8 potential projects identified, five are part of the Coastal Link Trail and five are road diets. The Coastal Link Trail is a tremendous opportunity for our tourism industry, which businesses have endorsed and council endorsed at the April 23rd 2019 meeting. Road diets present a significant cost savings for tax payers and will improve road safety for all users including motorist, cyclists and pedestrians. The proposed projects were identified by reviewing planning documents adopted by council, including the Saint John Trails and Bikeways Strategic Plan (2010), PlanSJ (2011), PlaySJ (2012), MoveSJ Phase 2 (2018) and the Central Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan (2019). The time for action on this file has arrived. (PO - SAINT JOHN P.O. Box 1971 Saint Jahn, NB Canada E2L 4L1 I www.saintjohn.ca I C.R 1971 Saint Jahn, N.-B. Canada. E2L 4L1 Federal funding programs are moving very fast. In order to take advantage of these opportunities, it is crucial that council identifies active transportation as an infrastructure priority in order to meet tight deadlines, which are now accelerated by the pressures of COVID-19. In fact a new program was announced by the federal government on August 13, 2020. Clarifying details and the application process, would be part of the due diligence process. In 2020 the CSJ total capital budget was 25 million dollars with more than 5 million dollars being invested in roads, curbs and sidewalks. It is time for Active transportation to be prioritized and resourced. Common council and the city staff have been focused on Growth and sustainability, throughout their term on council. This means investing differently and positioning the city to thrive, economically, socially and culturally. This project has the potential to change the narrative in our city, assign the necessary resources to quality of life investments and enhance our brand as a great place to live, work and play. Simply put, these investments make sense, will help improve citizen's health, enhance our ability to move throughout the city safely, reduce costs and help us spur growth activities. It is the sponsors understanding that projects and funding can be met with some challenges; however it is the endorsement of council and direction to staff that I'm looking for, that active transportation is a priority, that we want to see these projects move ahead and appreciate that some flexibility might be required, as funding availability and streams become more clear. Motion: In accordance with the City of Saint John Capital Budget Policy, direct the City Manager, working with city staff and Saint John Cycling, to prepare a business case and presentation for the Finance committee in September. Furthermore, that the finance committee make its recommendation back to council for final deliberations in the month of September.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner/Dept. Head City Manager Benn Purinton J Hamilton /A Poffenroth John Collin RECOMMENDATION RESOLVED, that the buildings located at 149 Broad Street, PID# 00000604, are to be demolished as they have become a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of dilapidation; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that said buildings are to be demolished as they have become a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of unsoundness of structural strength; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that one or more by-law enforcement officers appointed and designated underthe Saint John Unsightly Premises and Dangerous Buildings and Structures By-law are hereby authorized to arrange for the demolition, in accordance with the applicable City purchasing policies. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to advise Common Council that a Notice to Comply was issued under Part 13 of the Local Governance Act for the buildings located at 149 Broad Street. The hazardous conditions outlined in the Notice have not been remedied by the owner within the required time frame and staff is looking for authorization from Council to arrange for demolition of the buildings. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION N/A `tell] -2- REPORT Inspections of the property at 149 Broad Street have revealed that there are two buildings on the premise; a single -storey shed located at the rear of the property and a large three -storey, brick housing complex constructed in the late 1800s. The property is currently assessed at $32,000. Staff first became aware of the property's vacancy in December 2013 and began standard enforcement procedures. The property is located in an urban centre residential neighborhood in the City's South Central Peninsula. The buildings are a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of being vacant, by reason of dilapidation and by reason of unsoundness of structural strength. For the reasons described, a Notice to Comply was issued in August 2017 and provided the owner with 60 days to remedy the conditions at the property. The owner appealed the Notice to Comply; an appeal hearing took place in September 2017. The Appeal Committee granted an extension with a number of conditions and intermittent deadlines to be met. These conditions included a project completion deadline of January 31, 2019. Only interior demolition was performed during this time. In hopes of seeing the late 1800s building be rehabilitated, staff has worked with the owner as well as various potential buyers since the expiration of the Appeal Decision deadline. Multiple extensions have been granted but have not resulted in progress towards the repair of the property. A summary of these discussions and actions on the file is explained further below. Following expiration of the Appeal Decision deadline, the owner was notified that City staff would recommend demolition at the March 25, 2019 Common Council Meeting. On March 22, 2019, staff was informed that there was a sale agreement in place, with a closing date of July 31, 2019. City staff decided to withdraw the Council Report to give the new buyer an opportunity to repair the property. Staff provided the buyer with conditions to be met prior to and after the sale in order to prevent further enforcement action. Many of the conditions were not met and the sale did not take place on the agreed date. On September 3, 2019, the property was successfully rezoned from Neighbourhood Community Facility to Urban Centre Residential following an application made by the owner through Tailored Developments. Staff anticipated that the successful rezoning would lead to redevelopment of the property. However, no further progress had been made. City staff contacted the owner in January 2020 to inform them that the property would be presented to Common Council with recommendation of demolition. Upon learning of this, the owner provided a sale agreement with a new buyer scheduled to take place on February 10, 2020. The sale did not take place on the agreed date and has not occurred since. `to]I -3- As a result of a change in legislation from the Municipalities Act to the Local Governance Act, it was determined that the 2017 Notice to Comply that was issued under the Municipalities Act would not be enforceable. As a result, an updated Notice to Comply was issued on March 13, 2020 under the Local Governance Act. After the Dangerous & Vacant Building Program was temporarily suspended in response to COVID-19, staff resumed enforcement on the property. A Notice of Common Council hearing was posted to the building with a meeting date of August 4, 2020. On July 24, 2020, a sale agreement was again brought forward to City staff, with a closing date of August 6, 2020 and a request for yet another extension. Staff agreed to a very short extension, but informed the buyer that in order to prevent further enforcement, the sale would need to take place on the 6th and that no further delays would be granted. On August 51", the buyer asked for another extension, which was denied by Staff. The buyer was advised that the property would be brought to Common Council on August 17, 2020 with recommendation of demolition. The buyer is still hoping for an extension, but has not provided Staff with any concrete redevelopment plans. Attached for Council's reference is the March 13, 2020 Notice to Comply that was issued and the affidavit attesting to service. Also included are photographs of the building. 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, 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 letter advising of the Common Council Hearing is attached; it was posted to the building on August 7, 2020, and was sent to the property 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 property. Total cost of the demolition work is approximated in excess of $125,000. Upon approval of staff recommendation, staff will seek competitive bidding in accordance with the City's purchasing policy. Once the competitive bidding `[oya -4- process is complete, staff will then return to Common Council with the bid results and recommendation for award of contract. The cost of the work will be billed to the property owner and if 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 Certificate of Registered Ownership for the property. Additionally, the City Solicitor's Office registered the Notice to Comply with Service New Brunswick's Land Registry.

Eng. Introduction Inspections of the property at 149 Broad Street, PID# 00000604, have revealed that there are two buildings (the `Buildings") on the premise; a large three -storey, brick housing complex (the "Building") and an attached single -storey shed (the "Shed"). Staff first became aware of the property's vacancy in December 2013 and began standard enforcement procedures. The property is located in an urban centre residential neighborhood in the City's South Central Peninsula. The Building is a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of being vacant or unoccupied, by reason of dilapidation and by reason of unsoundness of structural strength. Discussion The Building does not comply 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 6(1) of the By-law 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 junk, rubbish, and refuse on the property. Items include, but are not limited to, metal siding, pieces of concrete cinder blocks, asphalt shingles, pieces of scrap wood and fallen brick. The aforementioned junk, rubbish, and refuse is unsightly. 2. The Building is dilapidated. The Building's exterior is composed of brick with a stone foundation. The Building's brick is cracked, loose and spalling. Sections of brick have been removed from two locations on the front side of the Building. The stone foundation is cracking and some of the stone is loose. This is most evident at the front right corner of the Building. The fascia is missing in multiple locations, most notably at the front and the rear of the Building. Paint is peeling from the dormers at the rear of the Building. There is a set of metal stairs leading to the front entrance of the Building. Paint is peeling from the stairs and the metal has rusted. There are broken windows in multiple locations. Two are located at the front of the Building, two are located on the left side and five are located at the rear. Some of these broken windows expose the interior of the Building to the 107 elements. Twelve of the intact windows were left open, increasing the Building's exposure to the elements. PVC pipes have been placed through two of the Building's windows to drain water. The exterior conditions of the Building are unsightly. 3. The Shed at the rear of the property is dilapidated. The Shed's exterior is composed of various pieces of metal siding with differing colours. Some of the metal siding is beginning to rust. The wood fascia is rotten and some sections are loosely attached. The front door of the Shed is missing. The Shed is unsightly. 4. The concrete retaining wall to the left of the Building has failed. A large portion of the wall is leaning on a wooden barricade that was placed next to it. The small portions of the wall that remain are leaning. Broken concrete cinder blocks are dispersed across the ground nearby. The failed retaining wall is unsightly. Vacant and Unoccupied Subsection 6(2) of the By-law 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 Building is a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of being vacant or unoccupied for the following reasons: Buildings that are in a dilapidated condition and left unsecured from public entry can attract vandalism, arson, or criminal activity. Both the right entrance of the Building and the entrance through the Shed were unsecured upon inspection. Previous inspections have noted signs of vandalism and trespassing. Vandalism, arson and criminal activity pose a hazard to the safety of the public and devalue properties in the surrounding area. Multiple police reports have been filed regarding the Building. The City of Saint John Finance department confirmed that the water has been turned off since September 2012. Saint John Energy confirmed that the power has been disconnected since June 2010. 2. There is a higher risk of a fire event occurring at the property since it is known that the Buildings are vacant. The property is adjacent to a three -unit residential dwelling at 137 Broad Street and a single-family residential dwelling at 151 Broad Street. If a fire event were to occur within the Buildings, it could potentially spread to the neighboring properties which would cause damage the buildings and endanger the lives of the occupants. There is a concern for emergency personnel safety in the event of a fire. If firefighters suspect there may be people inside the Building or Shed, it would be reasonable to expect they may be required to enter it. There is debris present throughout the Building, specifically in the basement. There are holes in the floor on each floor of the Building. The debris and holes pose a tripping hazard to emergency personnel. The ice approximately 3-in thick in the basement presents a slipping hazard. All of the staircases in the Building lack handrails and guards. Some of the staircases are missing steps and one staircase is leaning. The staircases present a hazard to emergency personnel should they need to traverse them. In a room adjacent to the main entrance, the floor has been removed. The door to the room is open which would present a falling hazard to emergency personnel. The condition of the interior is not known to firefighters which poses a hazard to their safety and others who may be inside in the event of a fire. 2 108 Dilapidated Building Conditions Subsection 6(3) of the By-law 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. The Building is a hazard to the safety of the public by reason of dilapidation for the following reasons: The Building's brick exterior is cracked, loose and spalling. A large group of bricks at the front of the Building are visibly loose and some bricks are very close to falling. The bricks at most risk to fall are directly above the walkway and the metal stairs that lead to the front entrance. The loose bricks at this location place any individual who walks to the Building's front entrance at risk of being struck. Fallen bricks are located on the ground nearby the stairs. During an exterior inspection on January 23, 2020, a brick was found lying on top of the snow. This indicates that the brick had fallen recently. The loose brick presents a severe hazard to anyone on the property. An individual could be fatally injured if a loose brick struck them. Some bricks have fallen onto the entryway of the Building, presenting a tripping hazard. 2. The Building has nine broken windows with loose pieces of glass remaining inside. The remaining glass presents a hazard. If it were to fall, it could injure an individual. If trespassers attempt to gain entry to the Building through these broken windows, they could be injured on the remaining glass. 3. The retaining walls on the property are dilapidated and hazardous to the public. The concrete retaining wall to the left of the Building has failed. A large section of this wall is resting on top of a partially collapsed wood barricade. If the wood barricade or the wall collapses further, the concrete could fall on an individual and injure them. The stone retaining wall at the front of the Building is cracking. There is a notable amount of missing stone and some of the stone that remains is loose. Stones have fallen from the retaining wall onto the walkway to the main entrance. In past inspections, stones from this retaining wail were found on the sidewalk. The fallen stones present a tripping hazard. 4. The Shed at the rear of the property is dilapidated with rusted metal siding and rotten wooden roof fascia. The front door to the Shed is missing and the Building is accessible through an entryway within the Shed. When vacant buildings are unsecured, it increases the risk of unlawful activity occurring in the Building. Water is infiltrating the Building through the Shed entrance. The stairs that lead from the Shed to the Building are covered in ice, which poses a slipping hazard. 5. The Building is experiencing substantial water infiltration. Water has pooled in multiple locations throughout the Building's first and second floors. In the basement, a significant amount of ice has accumulated. The ice is approximately 3-in thick in some locations and presents a slipping hazard to individuals in the basement. Water is entering the Building primarily through the leaking roof, the Shed entrance and the various open windows. The substantial amount of water present will continue to accelerate the deterioration of the Building. A temporary measure was taken to drain the water from the roof. PVC pipes run from the roof and out of the Building through a broken window at the front and through an open window on the left side. This has proven ineffective as water is still leaking from the roof. It has accumulated on the ceiling lath around one pipe and on the floor nearby. Flooring in the Building, most notably in the basement hallway, is soft due to water saturation. The floor deflects significantly under normal weight and has 109 broken through in some locations. If the soft floor were to fail, it could result in injury. Black mould was found in some locations. Mould poses a respiratory hazard for those who may enter the Building. 6. There is debris throughout the Building composed primarily of building materials. In a basement room, it appears that the false ceiling has fallen leaving debris from the ceiling scattered across the floor. The debris presents a tripping hazard. Broken glass was found in multiple locations throughout the Building. The potential for injury associated with tripping is increased by the presence of broken glass. There are holes in the flooring throughout the Building. In a first floor room at a rear corner, there is a hole in the floor approximately 10-in x 6-in in size. In a second floor room at a rear corner, there is an L-shaped hole in the floor. In the basement, there are multiple holes near the right side staircase. The surrounding floor is soft from water damage and deflects under load. The unstable or broken flooring in the Building presents a tripping hazard. In a first floor room adjacent to the main entrance, the floor has been completely removed, leaving the entire room open to the basement. The door to the room was left open, presenting a severe failing hazard. If an individual were to fall from the first floor to the basement, the fall of approximately 8-ft could injure them. The individual would fall onto debris, which increases the potential for injury. Staircases throughout the Building are hazardous as they all lack proper handrails and guards. There are two staircases in the basement, both of which have broken and missing stairs. The staircase on the left side of the Building is missing the bottom three steps and there is a hole in the first step that is not missing. This staircase is leaning significantly making it unsafe for use. The other staircase on the right side of the Building is missing the bottom step. Some of the remaining steps are sloping and some have holes, which present a tripping hazard. Although this staircase is hazardous, it is the safest way to access the second floor as the other staircase could fail. Structurally Unsound Building Conditions Subsection 6(3) of the By-law 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 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: The brickwork on the exterior of the Building is structurally unsound and hazardous. There is cracking occurring in the brickwork at the front, right and rear of the Building. A group of very loose bricks are visible above the walkway and the stairs leading to the main entrance. This places any individual walking to the front entrance at risk of being struck by a brick. Falling pieces of brick could fatally injure anyone on the property. The risk of being struck is very high at the front walkway and stairs. 2. The concrete retaining wall at the left of the property is structurally unsound and hazardous to the public. A large section of this wall is resting on top of a partially collapsed wood barricade. The small sections of the wall that remain are leaning. If the wood barricade or the wall collapses further, the concrete could fall on an individual and injure them. Required Remedial Actions The owner must comply with one of the two options stated below: 110 Option I: Remedy the conditions of the Buildings through all repair and remedial actions as follows: 1.

The loose Wiek �ire-,&&& 2 &Pow *Yi could be fatally injured if a loose brick struck them. Some bricks have fallen onto the entryway of the Building, presenting a tripping hazard. 2. The Building has nine broken windows with loose pieces of glass remainin�N de. The remaining glass presents a hazard. If it were to fall, it could injure an individual. If trespassers attempt to gain entry to the Building through these broken windows, they could be injured on the remaining glass. 1 The retaining walls on the property are dilapidated and hazardous to the public. The concrete retaining wall to the left of the Building has failed. A large section of this wall is resting on top of a partially collapsed wood barricade. If the wood barricade or the wall collapses further, the concrete could fall on an individual and injure them. The stone retaining wall at the front of the Building is cracking. There is a notable amount of missing stone and some of the stone that remains is loose. Stones have fallen from the retaining wall onto the walkway to the main entrance. In past inspections, stones from this retaining wall were found on the sidewalk. The fallen stones present a tripping hazard, 4. The Shed at the rear of the property is dilapidated with rusted metal siding and rotten wooden roof fascia. The front door to the Shed is missing and the Building is accessible through an entryway within the Shed. When vacant buildings are unsecured, it increases the risk of unlawful activity occurring in the Building. Water is infiltrating the Building through the Shed entrance. The stairs that lead from the Shed to the Building are covered in ice, which poses a slipping hazard. The Building is experiencing substantial water infiltration.

Black mould was found in some locations. Mould poses a respiratory hazard for those who may enter the Building. ii. There is debris throughout the Building composed primarily of building materials. In a basement room, it appears that the false ceiling has fallen leaving debris from the ceiling scattered across the floor. The debris presents a tripping hazard. Broken glass was found in multiple locations throughout the Building. The potential for injury associated with tripping is increased by the presence of broken glass. There are holes in the flooring throughout the Building. In a first floor room at a rear corner, there is a hole in the floor approximately 10-in x 6-in in size. In a second floor room at a rear corner, there is an L-shaped hole in the floor. In the basement, there are multiple holes near the right side staircase. The surrounding floor is soft from water damage and deflects under load. The unstable or broken flooring in the Building presents a tripping hazard. In a first floor room adjacent to the main entrance, the floor has been completely removed, leaving the entire room open to thi� basement. The door to the room was left open, presenting a severe fallina hazard. If an individual were to fall from the first floor to the basement, the fall of approximately 8-ft could injure them. The individual would fall onto debris, which increases the potential for injury. Staircases throughout the Building are hazardous as they all lack propm handrails and guards.

AUTHORIZATION Primary Author Commissioner City Manager Recommended by Craig Lavigne Kevin Fudge John Collin Finance Committee Councilor Merrithew Finance Chair RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that members of Common Council; • Reflect upon the attached draft of the 2021 Draft General Fund Operating Budget and make any and all inquiries and recommendations to staff; and receive and file this report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The draft 2021 General Fund Operating Budget was presented to the Finance Committee on August 131". The budget presented was the result of a multiyear effort by Council and Staff to address a $10 million structural deficit that the City was facing for 2021. The 2021 budget is a historical financial reset with over $6.0 million being reduced from wages and benefits, along with over $4.0 million in reductions in operating costs and an increase in own source revenue by $900K. Common Council set the guidelines and financial goals to achieve these reductions in order to balance the budget and ensuring these financial goals have been achieved. The operating budget was prepared based on the principles, policies and financial targets set out in the long term financial plan. The budget now allows the City to become more financially sustainable, increased financial flexibility, reducing its -2- vulnerability and ensuring there is accountability around how the operating budget in managed. PREVIOUS RESOLUTION August 13, 2020 Finance Committee Meeting — "It is recommended that Finance Committee approve the 2021 Draft General Fund Operating Budget and submit to Common Council with a recommendation to receive and file." STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT The proposed 2021 Draft General Fund Budget aligns with Councils priority of being fiscally responsible as well as the principles, policies and goals of the long term financial plan. The 2021 budget has been the result of Council and Staff being successful in dealing with barriers, implementing sustainability initiatives, and continuing to work with the Province on the "Three Part Plan". REPORT The draft 2021 General Fund Operating Budget was presented to the Finance Committee on August 131". The budget presented was the result of a multiyear effort Council and Staff to address a $10 million structural deficit that the City was facing for 2021. The 2021 budget is a historical financial reset with over $6.0 million being reduced from wages and benefits, along with over $4.0 million in reductions in operating costs and an increase in own source revenue by $900K. Common Council set the guidelines and financial goals to achieve the reductions in order to balance the budget and these financial goals have been achieved. The operating budget was prepared based on the principles, policies and financial targets in the long term financial plan. The budget now allows the City to become more financially sustainable, increased financial flexibility, reduce its vulnerability and ensuring there is accountability around howthe operating budget is managed. The overall budget for 2021 is $158,046,896 and for the 12t" consecutive year the tax rate has been held at $1.785 per $100 of assessment value. Revenues were based on a 1.5% increase in tax base assessment and assuming the unconditional grant is the same amount as 2020. The revenue represents a -5.19% reduction in revenue over the previous year. The reduction is largely due to the elimination of short term financial assistance from the Province in 2021 (2020-$9.26M). Other impacts on revenue are largely due to unknown impacts around COVIDI9. Accommodation levy's which are generated from the hotel industry have been reduced to $500K (2020- $1.4M) and a decrease in estimate on street parking F&MMIM-N `«A -3- The corresponding reduction in expenditures relates the financial sustainability plan that has been ongoing over last two years and has resulted in eliminating the structural deficit the City was facing in 2021. Financial Targets The 2021 budget includes several financial targets that were set out in the long term financial plan. Financial targets met in 2021 were; • Eliminate structural deficit of $10 million in 2021 • Maintain reserves at a minimum of $2 million at all times • Keep annual wage escalation in line with tax base growth • Address the infrastructure deficit and reduce debt by increasing Pay -as - you -Go investment The structural deficit reduction through the direction of Council was to be implemented by the Sustainability Plan and was to be through workforce adjustments of (60%), revenue generation, service changes, and continuous improvement efforts in 2021 and 2022. The 2021 Operating budget has met the target set out in the Sustainability Plan. Salaries and benefits have been reduced by $6.03M. 2021 2020 Salaries & Benefits Salaries 58,750,424 62,595,315 Overtime 1,877,180 2,022,345 Other Personnel Costs 409,864 401,765 Finge Benefits 15,704,713 16,941,003 Pension 8,875,000 9,575,000 Long -Term Disability 550,000 661,572 Total Salaries & Benefits 86,167,181 92,197,000 The balance of the sustainability plan addresses the deficit through revenue generation, service changes, and continuous improvement efforts. Operating cost reductions amounted to $3,157,000 and additional revenue amounted to $894,500. (Appendix 2) Some of the operating cost reductions included; Redesign of Transit $850,000 Suspension of Growth Reserve $350,000 Asphalt Overlay Program $200,000 Arena Closure $155,000 Fleet Optimization $450,000 `[E:3 -4- Some on the additional revenues included; Monthly off-street Parking increases $100,000 Non Resident Differential Parking Fee $100,000 Fees for Fire Emergency Response $90,000 Recreation Subsidization $260,000 Lone Term Financial Plan and Policies The budget follows 4 key financial values set out in the long term financial plan; 1. Don't spend more money than you make — 2021 budget is a structurally balanced budget. Funds are set aside in reserves to deal with one-time emergency expenditures such as potential impacts of COVIDI9. 2. Borrow Wisely — the budget includes principle and interest charges of $15.94 million which is a reduction of (-$709,259) over 2020. The City continues to reduce debt and increase pay as you go. The budget includes a total of $4.73 million for pay as you go. (2020 - $3.0 million) 3. Save your money for a rainy day — The budget includes $905,000 to be transferred to an operating reserve and $650,000 to be transferred to a capital reserve. This will continue to allow the City the flexibility around unforeseen or emergency events and allow for future capital renewal. 4. Take control of your expenses before they take control of you — the operating budget includes a significant reduction in wages and benefits as part of the financial reset. However, it also aligns with the wage escalation policy with Local 18's recent contract including no increases for 2021 and 2022 and tied to wage escalation for 2023 and 2024. Management and Professional staff will see no wage increases for 2021 and 2022. Conclusion The 2021 draft General Fund Budget is a historical budget for the City of Saint John.

From what I understand City of Saint John was hopeful that the CECRA rent subsidy program would include municipalities. If so, following the program, would City of Saint John accept 75% of rent paid by RFS instead? That is equal to the amount City of Saint John would have collected if able to participate in the program. RFS would pay $3000 per this request, had RFS been able to participate in the CECRA program RFS would have paid only $1000.

When I bike with my son, I have him use sidewalks for safety in many of these areas which is not acceptable to pedestrians. Main Street West, Chesley Drive, and Manawagonish are areas we travel regularly with the first 2 being particularly unnerving. Sadly, the cycling infrastructure in SJ is nowhere near modern standards. I support this investment because of the many benefits active transportation provides, including: - Supporting the Tourism Industry - Promoting a Healthy Lifestyle - Providing More Pedestrian Space/Safety - Cleaner, More Sustainable Transportation - Reducing the Road Maintenance Burden for Tax Payers Regarding tourism, Fredericton has food and beer routes built solely around bike paths driving locals and tourists to visit businesses. I recently spent two weekends in their city solely due to their bike path infrastructure. Thank you for your consideration and please let me know if you have any questions.

I ride a bike, a lot, and have for decades. It's transportation to shop, recreation, fitness and fun for us. Almost all the routes described below are on our regular cycle routes. From our home in Millidgeville in north Saint John we ride Uptown via the north end, Douglas Avenue, and Harbour Passage for shopping at least weekly, returning along City Road and through Rockwood Park. We went west last week from Millidgeville to the Spruce Lake Trail. We see the current state of bike lanes. Painting a bike symbol on the side of the street where there is debris and sewer grates below grade provides little comfort when transport trucks and cars speed past (often above the speed limit). If you have not tried it please do, there are some scary places. We have many older neighbours also in their 60s who cycle and would like to ride with us but are afraid of the city streets.

I have become an avid cyclist and many of my friends have also become engaged in the sport for fun and for health. However many others have expressed their desire but are too reluctant due to the safety risk. Creating bike lanes and cycleable shoulders should be a top initiative Saint John a more liveable city that promotes health through its infrastructure. (Much like Fredericton!) Mountain biking at Rockwood will put Saint John on the cycling map.

As an avid road cyclist there are very few streets that provide the proper distance between a cyclist and vehicles. Douglas Ave is one that is designed properly be the rare exception. Painting a bike sign on a city street (over potholes) isn't a safe bike lane. I see a lot of new pavement put down but no shoulder added. Surely adding an extra meter to pave a proper shoulder on a road would be minimal investment and cost of the project. It would also reduce accidents and driver / cyclist interactions.

I often go to the Acadian peninsula to bicycle their off road trails and I feel much safer and more comfortable to bike up there. I brought two groups of 8 cyclists from this area and they loved the bicycle trails up there and spent money on accomodations and restaurants. I went to PEI, Nova Scotia and Quebec provinces to bicycle their safe bike trails and spent from a 100 to 150 dollars a day per trip. Safe trails will bring tourists into this area. We need a safer bicycle trail system. I rarely bicycle this area due to the unsafe environment on the roads. I support the proposal submitted by Saint John Cycling and the Coastal Link Trail.

I have been cycling my entire life (62 years!). It has always been one of my main modes of transportation in the many cities where I have lived. I'm happy to see that Saint John has so many enthusiastic cyclists. Cycling has so many benefits - wellness, environmental, social... Having said that, there are many unsafe cycling streets In Saint John. This includes debris and sewer grates below grade in the bike lane along with transport trucks speeding past on City Road and Chesley Drive. Definitely not a safe place to cycle. It is so important to promote Safe Active Transportation!

Our tourism industry needs the support. Our residents need appropriate infrastructure which can accommodate physical distancing. Without this investment, the health and transportation of residents will be a compounding issue, especially during COVID-19 restrictions.

Passing through the uptown area it was a nightmare of cars, trucks and lane changes. I am a very experienced cyclist, but the traffic and infrastructure in Saint John are notoriously bad, which has given us a bad reputation in the province and wider.

I have literally cycled around the world but will not cycle in uptown Saint John or surrounding areas. We have an epidemic of obesity and inactivity in all ages and this is a phenomenal way to get people and families active. Why are we all driving and adding to the environmental crisis when we can kill 2 birds with one bike route! Please be forward thinking as we save millions of Dollars in health care down the road. Lack of trails is a major omission in a city centre - once again, we lag behind Fredericton and Moncton. We are the oldest city with old ideas and the times need to change.

As a family physician, the health of our community is my job. I have daily conversations about weight management and mental health. Exercise is key for both of these. Adding infrastructure to make walking and cycling safer would be immensely beneficial to all of us in Saint John, from children to the elderly. My husband and I regularly bike to work, and my children will be biking to school. Please make this safer for all of us. I hope you make the right choice for the community!

Having lived in Victoria and Toronto, I love being back in NB but find it glaringly obvious how unfriendly biking is in this place. Biking to work or just cycling for leisure would be much safer if we had proper infrastructure.

The Crescent Valley Resource Centre is a neighbourhood -based facility serving the residents of Crescent Valley, Anglin Drive and beyond. Approximately 400 families comprise this area. We offer free programming and services aimed at building leadership and resiliency in individuals and families and promoting healthy and active lifestyles. One of our programs is the Saint John Bike Share. Our goal is everyone who wants a bike, has a bike. Our mission is to further active transportation and bicycle culture in Saint John, and to expand the Bike Share Program to all areas of Greater Saint John - especially priority areas. Since 2015, we have provided over 600 bikes to the community - for free. To continue our success, recipients of these bicycles need safe infrastructure. The proposal presented by Saint John cycling includes valuable connectors for our residents, including protected bike lanes on Main Street, City Road, Chesley Drive and University Ave. We look forward to further investment in affordable, healthy transportation options for our residents. This proposal is a very worthy opportunity we cannot afford to miss.

We often load up our bikes and drive to Fredericton or Shediac or even PEI to take advantage of their beautiful, safe, convenient trail systems. Not only would better cycling routes encourage locals to be more active, it would draw people from other other neighbouring communities.

In fact, I could not use public transit as a means to get to work as the busses do not run late enough (I finish at 6pm) . We choose to purchase in a more central area with the hope that active transportation will increase. We feel that more and more people will be choosing to either buy a home or a car and we wanted an area that was accommodating to a carless lifestyle. Please remember that those using alternative methods of transportation are not simply those who can't afford a car, but who wish to improve their environmental footprint and/or personal health.

Many of my patients say they would love to cycle however are fearful of biking on roads with cars. As a cyclist, I bike to work most days in the Spring, Summer and Fall. In my recreation time, I cycle roads in Saint John, Rothesay and Quispamsis. What I can tell you is that most motorists do not know how to share the roads with cyclists. By embracing this project, you will be sending a message to motorist that you support cycling. Hopefully then motorists and cyclists can both learn to share the roads together.

If this project is passed I will personally make it my daily job to post how cyclists drive on the streets. I will post every single photo and video that I have of cyclists breaking the laws of the roads. I will also post every single photo and video I have of the cyclists not even using the bike lanes already provided for them. I will literally make the entire city aware of how much money has been wasted on this useless project that they don't even use in the first place after already implementing "road diets." No one uses the north end bike lanes and the cyclists decide to ride on the main streets anyways. If cyclists want to be part of the roads then maybe they should think about contributing to the maintenance of the roads instead of draining the already depleted road budget. I have lived on a street that has needed repairs for about 20 years now but that keeps getting pushed back, yet here we are trying to change all these streets for no one to use while the residents of my street suffer everyday. We have to repair our vehicles more often than anyone else because of the terrible state of the pavements d because it is the law to have a road worthy vehicle. If you want to spend your budget wisely maybe take care of the roads you already have. Cyclists have many many places to bike ex: rockwood park, irving nature park, harbour passage, there is a trail that runs from Rothesay towards saint john along the highway, there are even roads with bike lanes they dont even use already, they are even already building a trail in rockwood Park for the saint John cycling group and sounds Kit1:3 like they have government money already to match and fund this trail. If you decide to bring in these "road diets" then please do us all a favor and make the roads wider because I was taught in my drivers ed and license test that it is illegal to drive over a yellow line. I refuse to make the roads unsafe for myself and my children by slowing down to 20km an hour (also illegal for vehicles to travel at that speed on the road, can literally get fined for impeding traffic but not cyclists...) while backing up my lane and cannot pass because others are in the oncoming traffic and it's illegal to drive over the yellow line. If cyclists want to share the road then there needs to be laws and regulations so that everybody is safe. Every time I come across the cyclists, literally every single time, they are not in a bike lane, they are ignoring the road laws and making the roads extremely dangerous. This should be brought up to the city residents so that everyone has a say as to what the community wants not just a group of 1500 people from here to newfoundland. Over a million dollars of the city budget will be spent on this little group and if it goes through I will be investigating who has what connection with the government because anyone with half a brain can see how the cyclists act and can see how bad this idea is. Maybe the safest thing to do would be making their own separate lanes elsewhere for them to safely bike like in moncton or fredericton. I seen they had bike lanes that crossed a main street, they had their own stop sign and had to wait for for the lights to allow them to go just like any other vehicle of the road. Maybe these kind of projects should be left until after the second wave hits and we get a little bit caught up from the strain covid had on our budgets also.

Thank you David Methven Rothesay NB K��GI 8 August 2020 Dear Mayor and Council (email to: commonclerk@saintjohn.ca) Support for proposed Active Transportation Project I am writing this letter to support the COVID19 Recovery Saint John Active Transportation Project. This is a wonderful opportunity for recreation, sustainable trips, safe travel and is a novel practical way to experience Saint John and the surrounding area. You will undoubtably receive all kinds of support and opinions for safe active transportation corridors in the City and surrounding area. We already have some of the pieces (Harbour Passage, streets marked with bike lanes etc). We just need to start joining them together. We need connectivity! With that in mind I suggest that Chesley Drive, Manawagonish Road, and Ocean Westway are the most important active transportation corridors in the COVID19 Recovery Saint John Active Transportation Project that can provide the greatest amount of connectivity. Here is why: Chesley Drive — will connect us to existing bike lanes on the west side of the city. Chesley Drive is the only proposed active transportation corridor linking east and west sides of the city. It is important. Manawagonish Road and Ocean Westway are key for linking with the Spruce Lake Trail that in turn links to future expansion of the Coastal Link (Saint John - St. Stephen) to the United States. Safe active corridors of travel that are linked together within the City as well as routes that bring cyclists into the City are key. Here is an example. I just biked from my house in Rothesay to Annapolis Royal in Nova Scotia. I left early to avoid traffic and to catch the 0800 hr ferry to Digby. I saw other cyclists, lights on in the early morning, heading into the City on Rothesay Road. A beautify ride by Kennebecasis River. After cycling through Saint John, I caught the ferry to Digby and started cycling on the existing cycleway from Digby to Annapolis Royal. Just a great trip. Saint John can be a hub not only connecting us to the proposed Coastal Link from the United States, but also to Fredericton, to the Fundy Trail Parkway and as above, to Nova Scotia via the ferry. Both Moncton and Fredericton have well connected networks of safe bike paths in and around these cities. Saint John should also increase its network of safe bike paths.

All levels of government should cooperate to improve the well being of our citizen's health and the economic wellbeing and vitality through creative means of infrastructure investment. There is considerable evidence to support urban development that favours outdoor movement, either by walking or cycling. It is good for the body, the mind, the wallet and the environment. The body is improved by the inviting nature to be physically active and to move throughout the community instead of driving. The mind is improved indirectly as a benefit of increased physical activity and the benefit of being outdoors and interacting with members of the community socially (at a distance mind you). The wallet is improved by less dependency on cars that reduce maintenance and fuel costs to the consumer and taxpayer; businesses are invigorated by walkability from people being more likely to participate in walk-in consumerism and with boosted attractiveness of tourism opportunities. As well, populations that move more have fewer healthcare costs overall regardless of age or any other impairments. The benefit from an environmental perspective includes less air pollution and lower carbon footprints. There is ample data to support this from an economic and health perspective in the research literature. Similar cities of our size or regions similarly embracing a comparable industrial renaissance to the 21st-century internet economy have identified community space and walkability as a priority for choosing where people seek to live and work online. I will also commit my time and effort to this initiative freely, which can include health or economic analyses, data review or gathering projects, as well as medical or MBA student research projects wherein interests align. Our University campus at UNBSJ includes the DMNB medical school, and the NBCC Allied Health campus, which would benefit from greater integration with the urban Saint John region and indeed these partnerships have grown recently. Students do not have the financial means to drive as readily as working people and the use of public transportation and self -transportation for social and essential needs between the city and campus are critical. In particular, the development of connectedness for University Ave and the Campus Harbour Connection will benefit University and College student quality of life directly. As such, I am here cc'ng my commitment of support to the attention of Dr. Petra Hauf, Vice President, UNBSJ; Dr. Jennifer Hall, Associate Dean of Medicine, DMNB & Prof. Tammie Fournier, Dept. Head, Allied Health NBCC. I hope that they, like me, will support physical activity and community developments such as this initiative (https:(/www.saintiohncycling.com/safeaffordablestreets).

Long @oarl.gc.ca Subject: Active Transportation in Saint John Date: August 10, 2020 3:00:50 PM To the elected officials of Saint John, As a former Saint Johner and avid cyclist living in New Brunswick, I fully support the Coastal Link Trail and Saint John Cycling's proposal for improvements at various locations within the city. Safe and efficient means of cycling not only promotes a healthy lifestyle among the citizens of Saint John and New Brunswick, but strives toward a cleaner and more environmentally - friendly future. However, the major cities in New Brunswick currently lack safe and effective systems for cyclists, thus posing a danger to the lives of those commuting by bike. The lack of safe infrastructure also contributes to the frustrations of motorists and pedestrians regarding the inconsistency in how cyclists use existing infrastructure, further contributing to dangerous conditions for cyclists, motorists, and pedestrians alike. Saint John Cycling's proposal for improvements at, Spruce Lake Trail, Main Street, Chesley Drive, City Road and Station Street, University Avenue, Ocean Westway, Manawagonish Road, and Heather Way would provide an efficient and safe system for cyclists and pedestrians, and reduce the frustrations of motorists. Furthermore, there are many benefits that active transportation provides, including tourism industry support (just look at the success of La Veloroute on the Acadian Peninsula!), increased pedestrian space for physical distancing, and reducing the burden of road maintenance fo taxpayers. Given the incredible boom in bicycle sales during the COVID-19 pandemic (see: https:Hglobalnews.ca/news/6978435/coronavirus-bike-shop-owners-supply, there is no time better than now to invest in active transportation infrastructure in New Brunswick. Let's make Saint John a leading force for change in NB.

Long @oarl.gc.ca Subject: Active Transportation in Saint John Date: August 10, 2020 8:44:41 PM Howdy, I spent 6 weeks in a YMCA work placement in Saint Jean sur Richelieu, just south of Montreal in Quebec. The bike trails there were impeccable. Every day, for 6 weeks, I biked to and from my place of work at the local garrison, mainly on the bright green marked bike paths but on the roads when necessary. It was my first time properly living in a french -speaking community, and my first time commuting via bicycle regularly, which naturally made the experience slightly more nerve wracking than it had any right to be. Had it not been for easily accessible biking trails near roadways, commuting would have been near impossible without spending money on a bus pass or risking myself directly on the roads. I also biked through the countryside, to another friends house nearly 40km away on a beautiful, nicely paved route that cut through the forests and the fields to make one of the most incredible memories I have of my time there. I even spent an afternoon after work biking over 80km to and from Mount St. Hillaire just for a quick stop before hiking was closed, which would have been near impossible were it not for La Route Verte which helped me through some of the busier intersections I had to pass. Bike trails in Quebec made my experience dozens of times more enjoyable, cheaper, and frankly presented a whole new world to me that I never would have experienced otherwise. The fantastic biking infrastructure let me explore uptown and downtown beyond when the buses were running, it let me go out into nature whenever and wherever I pleased (within reason) and it kept me in great shape for the extent of my stay. If Saint John had better biking infrastructure I wouldn't have to drive in to town as often to tend to the Harbour View School Garden, I could bike in and feel safer. I would be able to spend longer uptown if it was easier to navigate on a bike and had more space to lock them up. 1, Declan Hartery, would love to be able to bike Saint John more easily, more safely and more often.

Nick Cameron Government Liaison Saint John Cycling 506-343-7946 C1Ci-1 August 10, 2020 Dear Mayor and Council, The active transportation infrastructure proposal presented by Saint John Cycling and the Coastal Link Trail holds tremendous potential for the tourism industry in our region. I am in full support of this proposal. Our mission at Discover Saint John is to increase tourism revenues by marketing our unique and competitive tourism experiences to high -potential markets. The cycling tourism market and the Coastal Link Trail in particular present an excellent opportunity for our 500 members. This proposal, which connects Rockwood Park to the Musquash Estuary, will be a one -of -a -kind experience to attract visitors and builds on the success of investments already made in Rockwood Park, the Harbour Passage and the Fundy Trail. I look forward to the development of this proposal and seeing more visitors explore our vibrant region by foot, bike or wheelchair.

This is a wonderful opportunity to develop a legacy of trails for the health of our own community and to benefit from the vast tourism dollars currently taking their dollars north to ride on the newly paved trails around the Acadian Peninsula. Many thanks.

We have over 25 years of experience in the sport and tourism industry operating triathlons, running events, cycling tours, a travel agency and a bed and breakfast near Rockwood Park. Better infrastructure for cycling and running presents a significant opportunity for our industry. All of our cycling and triathlon friends are taking their tourism dollars to the newly paved bike trails in the Acadian Peninsula where I have seen that they are riding 150km plus on these trails. They are staying overnight, enjoying coffee shops, eating in restaurants and promoting this area to all their friends. We are in danger of missing out on the huge potential of sports revenue, ATV members should work with cycling groups who should work with hiking groups including every level of government. We are ideally placed here in Saint John to benefit financially from the Coastal Trail Link and we have never had a better opportunity to develop a lasting legacy for this region for all the health benefits of traffic free trails. On a single day in October 2019, we guided over 100 cruise ship passengers for a cycling tour through Saint John. We rode to Wolastoq Park, Martello Tower, Irving Nature Park and up to Lily Lake, twice. Feedback was very positive, but the traffic along Chesley Drive and City Road presented a few HCR] challenges. If we could develop a trail system to make these parks more accessible by bike, we could attract even more cycle tourism. 100 bikes are a huge number in a single day tour, but imagine what we could attract with a link between these beautiful parks and the tourism dollars that could be generated. This proposal is also a great opportunity to support healthy living. We take great pride in providing athletes the opportunity to develop their health and performance at our races ands events. This infrastructure will provide a safe venue for athletes to train and for our business to host events. Thank you for talking the time to review this letter and please contact me if I can be of any further assistance.

In Partnership with the Crescent Valley Resource Centre we have developed a bike workshop where volunteers repair damaged bikes and gift them to individuals in need of transportation alternatives and/or fitness. The goal is everyone who wants a bike, has a bike. You can see how a program like this will benefit the geographically isolated West Side for those without a vehicle or financial mean.

Saint John is the economic hub for our region and an important regional partner in economic development and recovery. Inside Out Nature Centre & Go Fundy Events, has been a vibrant member of the local business community for many years. We deliver our services to our local and visiting customers with the highest degree of professionalism, with a customer focus. We are an important part of the local business community as a leader in Outdoor recreation located in 2 major city parks and rely upon many factors to funnel steady sales and drive growth. The impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic have impressed a change upon the economic landscape the likes we have never seen in this generation. In the early days, many businesses were forced to temporarily close their doors. Other businesses were able to facilitate remote working for their staff, layoffs occurred and some businesses closed for good. For many businesses, there is a stark new reality; the impact, amounting to close to an 85% loss in revenues for the year 2020. We need to explore new opportunities for economic resiliency in our region. The Saint John Active Transportation is a community -driven, economic growth initiative with both local and governmental partnerships; thanks to COVID-19 recovery funding these "shovel ready' projects are ready to drive recovery efforts and energize the region. This is a momentous opportunity to leverage our natural assets - the rivers, the coastlines - to strengthen our tourism offerings. By connecting the Saint John Active Transportation COVID-19 Project to both the Great Trail (formerly known as the Trans -Canada Trail) and the East Coast Greenway, the Saint John Active Transportation Project is set to connect world -class infrastructure reckoning to grab a larger share of the global tourism economy.
