The project started in 2010 under direction of the Saint John Harbour Bridge Authority. Management of the project transferred to the Provincial Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DTI) in the spring of 2011. The project has impacted the movement of vehicle traffic in Saint John with lane and ramp closures. The section of Harbour Passage below the bridge was closed during the 2010 and 2011 construction seasons impacting both pedestrian and cycling traffic. DTI and City staff have worked together to mitigate the impacts. Communications to both the general public and emergency services have continued. A comprehensive traffic mitigation plan was developed in 2012. Enhancements to the closest alternative to Harbour Passage for pedestrians and cyclists, being Main Street and the Viaduct, were introduced including a dedicated bike lane in 2011. ANALYSIS Impact on Vehicular Traffic Vehicular traffic is expected to be impacted starting on April 15 of this year. Both eastbound lanes of the Harbour bridge (red line on the figure on page 2) will be closed leaving one lane in each direction until September or October. These two lanes will be narrow as work on the centre median on the bridge is needed. The off -ramp from the bridge to Chesley Drive (yellow line on figure) will be closed during this time. The off -ramp to Union Street (blue line on figure) and the on -ramp from Chesley Drive (pink line on figure) are expected to be impacted but the extent is not confirmed at the time of this report. Intermittent lane or full road closures on Hilyard Street (orange line on figure) are also likely. Efforts continue to coordinate the completion of the work requiring a lane closure on the Reversing Falls Bridge with the beginning of the lane closures on the Harbour Bridge to mitigate impacts on east -west flow. 13 M &C2013 -58 March 29, 2013 Page 2 Communications to stakeholders will be key again in 2013. DTI and City staff is working to provide messaging to the general public. Emergency and Transit officials have been kept notified of the project. Feasible recommendations of the 2011 comprehensive traffic mitigation plan are either being implemented or considered. Impact on Pedestrian and Cycling Traffic The DTI advised City staff on March 28 that the sections of Harbour Passage to the Chesley Drive and Hilyard Street areas (purple lines on figure) will be closed where it passes under the bridge (approximately where it was closed in 2010 and 2011). Both DTI and City staff were working toward keeping the section to Hilyard Street open but this became not possible as per DTI's March 28 communication given the significant scope of work to be completed on the bridge. As soon as City staff was notified of the required Harbour Passage closure, preparations to repeat previously implemented contingency plans commenced. Staff will work to have crosswalks along the Main Street and Viaduct sidewalks refreshed and alternative route signs at key points on Harbour Passage installed as soon as possible. 14 M &C2013 -58 March 29, 2013 Page 3 Staff is seeking support from Common Council via this report to re- install a bike lane on Main Street and the Viaduct to facilitate cyclists. In 2011, after direction was provided from Council and the Province, staff installed a two -way bike lane using the centre eastbound lane (green line on figure) from Chesley Drive to Union Street. Traffic signs, road markings, traffic signals and bollards separating the bike lane from vehicle lanes would be installed. The speed limit along the small section would also be reduced from 60 KM/H to 50 KM/H. Some minimal impact to vehicular traffic was expected and occurred as a result of the bike lane and would be expected again in 2013. Permission from the Provincial Registrar of Motor Vehicles through the DTI would also be sought again to re- install the bike lane if Council supports the plan. Both Main Street and the Viaduct are Provincial Designated Highways and therefore approval from the provincial authority is required to make changes to how traffic is regulated on them. Pending support from both Common Council and the Province, staff would re- install the lane as soon as possible following. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that Common Council: 1. Supports re- installation of the two -way bike lane on Main Street and the Viaduct while Harbour Passage is closed in 2013, and 2. Direct City staff to seek permission from the Provincial Registrar of Motor Vehicles through the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure to re- install the two -way bike lane on Main Street and the Viaduct.

This report updates Council on asphalt pavements work and associated funding allocated for Saint John roadways in 2013. BACKGROUND The following funding allocations have been provided for maintenance and resurfacing of asphalt pavements, and under the Water and Sewerage Operating budget for utility cut reinstatements: Asphalt Material (General Fund) $ 750,000 Asphalt Resurfacing (General Fund) $3,500,000 Asphalt Resurfacing (Capital Fund) $1,000,000 Utility Cut Reinstatements (W &S Fund) $ 947,000 In addition, substantial internal resources (personnel and equipment) are programmed in the General Fund for in -house asphalt maintenance and repair crews. There will be full width asphalt reinstatement on some Capital Projects as outlined on the attached list. ANALYSIS Hot mix asphalt material is generally not available until mid -April each year. General maintenance and repair work is planned for streets across the city, including Westfield Road, Wellesley Avenue, and sections of some local streets like Hillcrest Drive, Lowell Street, Pugsley Avenue, Princess Street, Orange Street, among others in the Champlain Heights, Lakewood Heights and Forest Hills neighbourhoods. 16 2013 Asphalt Pavements Rork March 28, 2013 Report to Common Council, M &C 2013 -57 Page 2 Longer -term preventative maintenance is multi- faceted and includes resurfacing, crack sealing, micro - surfacing and some local area patching; all with the goal of extending service life of roadways. Resurfacing is planned for 36 street sections (59.00 lane kilometres), as shown on the attached list, and a significant micro- surfacing job is planned for McAllister Drive between Loch Lomond Road and Rothesay Avenue (12.1 lane kms). Notable in relation to this work are the adjustment of over 900 roadway structures (e.g. catch basins, manholes) in conjunction with the actual asphalt resurfacing. The following funding allocations have been provided for replacement of existing curb and sidewalk in conjunction with the Asphalt Resurfacing Program: Concrete Curb and Sidewalk (General Fund) $ 150,000 Concrete Curb and Sidewalk (Capital Fund) $1,300,000 Existing curb and sidewalk will be replaced on Westmorland Road between Loch Lomond Road and Kilburn Avenue, Sherwood Drive between Champlain Drive and the dead end, McDonald Street between Loch Lomond Road and Mount Pleasant Avenue and Dunn Avenue between Lancaster Avenue and Driscoll Drive among others. Under various Capital Program categories, parts of the following streets will be given new asphalt surfaces through reconstruction in 2013: • Somerset Street (Wellesley Avenue to Samuel Davis Drive) • Loch Lomond Road (Kane's Corner to Westmorland Road) Saint John Water will also be reinstating over 70 utility cuts resulting from water and/or sewer repairs undertaken during the winter season and an average of over 300 utility cuts each year, very much improving driveability on the street sections affected. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Common Council receive and file this report. Respectfully submitted, 4�Kevin Rice �WmEdwards, P. Eng.

This is an annual program to upgrade and maintain deteriorating street surfaces under the maintenance and capital resurfacing programs. This contract includes all work associated with the resurfacing of a total of 20 streets or segments of streets. This work consists generally of the supply of all necessary labour, materials and equipment for the placement of approximately 18,014 tonnes of Superpave hot -mix asphalt. Also included in this contract is the installation of approximately 11,690 lineal meters of concrete curb and 5,200 lineal meters of 1.5 meter sidewalk. TENDER RESULTS Tenders closed on March 27, 2012, with the following results: 1. Classic Construction (2012) Ltd., Saint John, N.B. $ 4,263,868.55 2. NRB Construction Company Limited, Saint John, N.B. $ 4,382,776.59 3. Debly Enterprises Ltd., Saint John, N.B. $ 4,603,011.33 4. Fairville Construction Ltd., Saint John, N.B. $ 4,993,277.59 5. Northern Construction Inc., Grand Falls, N.B. $ 5,242,295.99 The Engineer's estimate for the work was $ 5,914,276.04 ANALYSIS The tenders were reviewed by staff and all tenders were found to be formal in all respects. Staff is of the opinion that the low tenderer has the necessary resources and expertise to perform the work, and recommend acceptance of their tender. W M &C 2013 -56 March 28, 2013 Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS This contract involves work that is to be charged to various operating and capital budgets. Assuming award of this contract to the low tenderer, the following analysis has been completed. Combined approved budgets 2013 $5,435,000.00 Low tender net cost $3,952,715.11 Variance (surplus) $1,482,284.89 The variance between the engineer's estimate and the low tendered price can mostly be attributed to a lower than expected unit price on asphalt concrete. The City will be tendering a second Asphalt Resurfacing Contract - "Asphalt Resurfacing 2013 - Phase II" in April of 2013 where the budget surplus will be fully utilized. POLICY CONFORMANCE Streets being resurfaced under this contract are located in existing developed neighbourhoods of the City or areas designated as Stable Residential in the Municipal Plan (PlanSJ). As such, the project in in accordance with Plan policies that relate to continued maintenance of the City's existing roadway infrastructure and the overall intent of the plan. Where warranted improvements to the City's Active Transportation Network are incorporated in the project in accordance with the Plan. The recommendation in this report is made in accordance with the provisions of Council's policy for the tendering of construction contracts, the City's General Specifications and the specific project specifications. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended 1. that Contract No. 2013 -6: Asphalt Resurfacing — 2013 Phase I, be awarded to the low tenderer, Classic Construction (2012) Ltd, at the tendered price of $4,263,868.55 as calculated based upon estimated quantities; 2. that the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents.

This plan also vests a municipal services easement over proposed Lot 13 -02 in order to protect existing municipal piped infrastructure. The location and necessary easement requirements have been identified by the Infrastructure Development division of Growth and Development Services. Often the vesting of municipal services easements is considered in a recommendation from the Planning Advisory Committee when dealing with more significant subdivision applications where other approvals are required. However, this matter does not require the consideration of the Committee, and the Community Planning Act does not require the Committee's involvement when only dealing with easements. The vesting of the proposed municipal services easement is supported by Infrastructure Development. Therefore, Council's assent to the attached subdivision plan with respect to the proposed municipal services easement is recommended. 21 M &C- 2013 -61 -2- April 3, 2013 RECOMMENDATION: That Common Council assent to the submitted subdivision plan entitled "McAllister Park Subdivision, Phase One, Plan Two," located at Whitebone Way (PID 00434217 and a portion of 00434209), with respect to the vesting of the proposed municipal services easement.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL 0 April 1, 2013 M &C2013 -59 the City of Saint John His Worship Mayor Mel Norton and Members of Common Council Your Worship and Members of Council: SUBJECT: Peel Plaza On- Street Parking Peel Plaza, the public street, was constructed with a narrow width and several turns. There is no space on either side of the street to permit on- street parking without impeding two way traffic flow. The only exception is a small and slightly wider area across the street from the main entrance to the new police station; parking for approximately 3 vehicles could be accommodated in this area. Short term parking is proposed there. Staff recommends the following amendments to the Traffic By -Law to reflect these parking provisions on this new street: • Add Peel Plaza, South side, with Limits Union Street to Carleton Street to Schedule B (No Parking Anytime) • Add Peel Plaza, North side, with Limits Union Street to a point 59 metres northerly to Schedule B • Add Peel Plaza, North side, with Limits 78 metres north of Union Street to Carleton Street to Schedule B • Add Peel Plaza, North side, with Limits 59 metres north of Union Street to 78 metres north of Union Street, with Time 15 minutes to Schedule A -1 (Parking Times 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.) The 59 and 78 metre distances are referenced from the curb on the north side of Union Street. The City Solicitor is presenting to Council these amendments in proper translated form for its consideration under separate cover on this same Council meeting agenda. Until Council can fully consider these recommended amendments, Police have directed parking signs be installed on both sides of the street to alleviate this impact on two -way traffic flow. Representatives of the Saint John Police Force and the Saint John Parking Commission have reviewed and are in agreement with these amendments. 24 M &C2013 -59 April 1, 2013 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Common Council amend the City's Traffic By -Law as detailed in this report and as represented in proper translated form in the associated City's Solicitor's report.

Deputy Commissioner, Transportation & Environment l 9 iatrick Woods, CGA y Manager REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL M &C- 2013 -60 April 4, 2013 His Worship Mayor Mel Norton and Members of Common Council Your Worship and Councillors: SUBJECT: Brentwood Crescent Storm Sewer Project Woodward Avenue BACKGROUND: ��`A City of Saint John During the past several years, staff has negotiated easements and land acquisitions for a number of properties that were required for a storm water management plan for the Brentwood Crescent Rider Sewer project. The Rider Storm Sewer provided flood protection for those homes on Brentwood Crescent and Woodward Avenue that had been experiencing recurring flooding during heavy rainfall events. The work associated with this project is now complete. However, there is still one outstanding property acquisition, which is the purpose of this report. ANAT,VCTC- The land originally acquired by the City for the construction of this section of Woodward Avenue involved 60 -foot wide parcels. In the 1960's and 70's there were a number of subdivision plans that were created that had believed Woodward Avenue to have a width of 66 -feet in width. In 1994, a subdivision plan along the north side line of Woodward Avenue picks up the three foot discrepancy and correctly shows a strip of land three feet wide being owned by the Estate of Mary Catherine Ritchie. This was also the case along the south side of Woodward Avenue. Similar to another Estate property situated along this section of Woodward Avenue, City staff is rectifying the above noted inaccurate land assembly for this section of Woodward Avenue. 26 M &C- 2013 -60 -2- April 4, 2013 The terms and conditions contained in the attached agreement have been reviewed by the City's Legal Department. The amount of compensation to the property owner is fair and consistent with the other recent offerings involved in this proj ect. The following recommendation will acquire the fee simple interest in the property. RECOMMENDATION: 1.

In 2012, through co- operation with the SJ Leisure services department, club members volunteered many hours improving the trail network within Rockwood Park. The club hosted an IMBA (International Mountain Biking Association) course to teach those volunteers the proper methods of building sustainable trails. The feedback from other users of the park has been very encouraging. We would ask of council the opportunity to come before you to present an in -kind donation cheque to The City of Saint John based on the club's 2012 volunteer hours in the park. Thank you in advance for your consideration, and we look forward to having the opportunity to give back to the City again in 2013. If you would like more information regarding our presentation please contact me at janicekeatingna,rogers.com or 506- 636 -1648.

As you recall, I have travelled to China in efforts to attract potential students to our university, including a trip to the North East sector, and specifically Mi Shan city. We have exchanged letters of appreciation from your office and the Vice - President's office of UNBSJ to the city council of Mi Shan, following our first visit in June 2012. In March 2013, I returned to Mi Shan to continue our recruiting efforts (three students came as a result of the first trip) and was warmly greeted again by the Mayor (Mr. Ma) and council, who gave me a gift for you. Mayor Ma and five (5) of his councilors have been given letters of invitation from UNBSJ to potentially travel to Saint John in August 2013. They wish to meet with you and council and to investigate the potential for investing in the Saint John businesses. I would like to use my opportunity in presenting to council, to provide a brief overview of our International training center at UNBSJ, its 250 students and the impact they have on the economy and culture of Saint John. I would also like to present the gift and exchange letters, which Mayor Ma asked me to deliver to you and your council. Please advise when I may present to council.

For whatever reason, our bylaws apparently do not currently allow anything like this. I am very anxious for our Council to take whatever steps we can to try to revitalize the uptown. A change to the bylaws would be required to allow for food vendors on the street, food trucks, and a double decker diner such as is being considered by John Campbell (see attachment). I think that having some street food vendors would help to draw locals and tourists alike into the uptown and keep them there longer. Here are comments I received today from my grandson who attends medical school in Halifax when I asked him about the street food scene there: "Here is my take on the street vendors here in Halifax. There are two really successful locations here: 1. On Spring Garden Road - most consistent foot traffic in Halifax during the day and 2. Outside the university (Dalhousie's main campus), near the student union building. There is one vender who sets up down town near the bars, and they probably do well, but it's not a place people would be going for food during the week /middle of the day. With regard to the kind of food I would say the most successful vendors here in Halifax have been your classic Chip Wagons, specializing in hand cut fries but also having additional items like hamburgers, fish, hot dogs etc. That is probably going to reach the majority of the population who would be interested in getting food from a food truck. St. John's Newfoundland also has a great deal of fries /dressing /and gravy stands that do quite well. Something like that or a poutine stand would probably do quite well. One great idea I have seen work in the North end of Halifax is a cafe truck. They are more of a stand, but sell coffee /breakfast items and do well. If the truck were situated in the right location �r VU SAINT JOHN P.O. Box 1971 Saint John, NB Canada E21- 41-1 1 www.saintjohn.ca I C.P. 1971 Saint John, N. -B. Canada E21- 4L1 36 (outside a large office building or in an area of high foot traffic in the morning) I could see it doing just as well, especially if the stand offered something unique like specialty coffee /lattes /gourmet breakfast sandwiches etc. There is only one other thing I can think of and that is the movement towards "gourmet foods" in Halifax. Over the past few years there has been a big shift towards making gourmet versions of classic foods aka gourmet pizza, gourmet hamburgers, etc. this is very popular with the crowd here in Halifax and may be there same there in Saint John. I haven't seen this go to the street yet but there certainly might be a market for a gourmet hamburger stand or something along those lines." MOTION: That the relevant by -laws be changed to allow for street food vendors (including but not limited to the double decker diner outlined above) within the City.

City Hall Saint John, NB To Whom It May Concern: Please find attached details of a business venture that I am currently pursuing. The business consist of a antique British Double Decker Bus with the lower deck convert to a commercial kitchen with takeout window and the upper deck converted into a dining area. This is indeed a very unique opportunity as there are only three of these converted buses located in Canada, one being located at Niagara Falls and Ottawa and the one I am pursuing and bringing to New Brunswick. I believe the history of this type of vehicle would fit well with our community of Saint John, given our city's legacy as the Loyalist City and the unique character of the Double Decker Bus. To maximize the potential of this opportunity as a unique street vendor operation and an I catching tourist attraction for the Cruise Ship passengers, I am requesting the opportunity to rent two parking spots located on the east side of King Square, north of the crosswalk near the old courthouse as well as hook into the Saint John Energy power grid. The unique design of King Square in the layout of the Union Jack and the symbolism project by the British Double Decker bus would compliment each other and add character to the area. Please find attached picture of the bus and the intended location drawing of King Square. Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter and as the tourist season is quickly coming upon us, time is of the essence.
