Accessibility Advisory Committee

0:02So I'd like to do the Indigenous Territorial Acknowledgment.

0:09As we gather, let us take time to reflect on our privilege to live and work in Guelph, a city built over rich Indigenous histories.

0:18We are guests here who we should reflect upon the responsibility to care for this land, the people who live here today, and the generations to come.

0:26If our actions today can move us towards reconciliation, we should take pause and make those decisions with intention and gratitude.

0:35This place we call Guelph has served as traditional lands and a place of refuge for many peoples over time.

0:42But more specifically, the At-Wan-Durang and the Haudenosaunee.

0:49This land is housed as treaty lands and territory within the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

0:54Guelph lies directly adjacent to the Haudenosaunee track and is part of a long-established traditional hunting ground for the six nations of the Grand River.

1:05Many First Nations, Inuit and Métis people have come from across the Turtle Island to call Guelph home today.

1:16And do we have any 1.2s?

1:19Trent, you may be just asking that so the folks online can be.

1:22Sorry.

1:24Is there any larger conflict on interest and general nature thereof for the people's remotely logged in?

1:35Seeing you, we're hearing them.

1:37I think we're good.

1:40The next one is the approval of the minutes from our May 19th, which seems so long ago.

1:46Meeting.

1:48Can I get a move or a second?

1:53I get a mover to move the approved minutes from last meeting's minutes.

2:04Anyone?

2:06Do you think I saw someone move?

2:09Maybe.

2:10Can I have a mover?

2:15I'll move.

2:17You can call me.

2:18Can I get a seconder?

2:19No, I just like it.

2:23Okay.

2:25You're your own game.

2:26But I think we can read lips.

2:28And I think that.

2:29Oh, sorry about that.

2:31That's okay.

2:32So does anyone object to the minutes not being approved?

2:40Hearing and or seeing none of the moods have been approved or so that motion has been passed.

2:47So really we only have, like Jordan said, we only have a committee item today, which is the Victoria Road and Stone Road environmental assessment.

2:59And we'll read off the two recommendations.

3:04Or we'll wait to leave them or not.

3:07Whatever you prefer.

3:08Just say I want to get it.

3:09So recommendations, you know, like what's all of it?

3:12I want to do another.

3:13Never mind.

3:14So close here to present Amanda.

3:17Nancy.

3:18Nancy.

3:19So Nancy, or is yours?

3:22All right.

3:23I will share my screen then.

3:24And let me know when you folks can see it.

3:30You see it.

3:31Can you hear me?

3:32Yeah.

3:33Okay.

3:34Very good.

3:35Well,

3:37welcome everyone and thank you for coming to my presentation here about the Victoria Road and Stone Road environmental assessment.

3:44I'm the project manager for this project, which is intended to study and recommend preferred solutions and preliminary designs for the roads and bridges at Victoria Road and Stone Road.

3:55So that we can support future travel needs previously identified in the wealth transportation master plan and the Guelph Innovation District secondary plan.

4:03Although the area around Stone Road and Victoria Road is currently quite rural.

4:07The area will grow more organized with time as the Guelph Innovation District develops to include thousands of new jobs and homes in the city.

4:16So the previous studies that we undertook recommended widening of Victoria Road and Stone Road. And the goal of our current project is to recommend how these roads should be widened.

4:27So the goal of our project is to develop the preferred road design concept to meet the future anticipated traffic and transit needs using a complete streets approach, implement walking and cycling facilities, and then also upgrade the storm water management facilities in this area to meet the requirements of the

4:432023 master plan.

4:46So designs of the road in this area is guided by the complete streets design guideline and most of Victoria Road and the western part of Stone Road here are classified as residential boulevards according to those guidelines.

5:00And the very first cross section at the top of the slide shows a typical complete streets cross section adapted to fit in the Victoria Road and Stone Road right away.

5:10This cross section has got wide planted boulevards with cycle track and sidewalk on both sides of the road. And the existing right of way on the majority of Victoria Road and part of Stone Road is actually already wide enough to fit this cross section with some minor adjustments to the boulevard

5:27and constrained areas. So by adjusting the width of the boulevard we can minimize potential impacts in a natural environment, social environment, cultural heritage, and property impacts in the corridor.

5:41And this includes minimizing impacts to the sensitive woodland and wetland areas around the Aramasa River and the Arboretum.

5:50However, we start deviating from the complete streets guidelines a little bit in some of the more unique sections of the road. And the first of these is on the eastern segment of Stone Road.

6:01This road is currently one lane each direction with a shoulder bike lane. And the road is classified as an employment boulevard, which means that it should have two lanes in each direction and a multi use path on both sides, as per the complete streets design guideline.

6:16However, we found in the traffic study that widening to four lanes on the eastern part of Stone Road is not actually required to support to support feature travel needs in the area, and that one lane each direction would be sufficient to carry the anticipated demand.

6:32We also wanted to try to avoid widening Stone Road too much, because if we did we would have to widen the bridge with additional construction cost. And the less that we widened Stone Road, the more that we're able to avoid potential environments to the potential impacts to the natural environment.

6:51So we landed on the concept that we have here, the bottom concept on this slide, which would, which has one lane each direction. There's a multi use path on the north side of the road, which would provide access to the future transit facility.

7:07Phase four of the future wealth innovation district developments and several of the third party trails that are accessible from the north side of Stone Road.

7:16This concept for Stone Road is currently the least costly of all the alternatives, because it doesn't require widening the bridge. And this concept is also able to fulfill the after transportation objectives in the area while minimizing potential impacts to the natural environment, cultural heritage, and the social and the social environments.

7:37We are also quite constrained on this segment here of Victoria Road north of their Amasa River. Under existing conditions, this part of the study area has two lanes in each direction, and there's a sidewalk on the west side of the road.

7:51There is also a sidewalk on the east side of the road, but it stops just short of just south of the ethnic supermarket Plaza.

7:59So currently Victoria Road is classified according to the complete street design guideline as a residential Boulevard. And ideally, it would have nice wide planted boulevards and cycle track and sidewalk on both sides of the street.

8:12But as you can see from the top photo in the top right hand photo on the slide.

8:18We've, it's the space available to us is really very tight. We have residential buildings on the west side of the road and commercial buildings on the east side of the road, and trying to implement the full complete streets cross section will have some significant impacts to the social environments, as well as incur a high cost relative to the other alternatives.

8:40While we were developing the alternatives, it was also important for us to try to provide an adequate width and buffer for the pedestrian and cycling facilities on Victoria Road, because there's a very large hill near the river, and we were very aware that users might need more space when traveling up or down the slope.

9:02So, because of the lack of space between the existing residential and commercial buildings, we ended up having to separate out some of the active transportation facilities as shown on the left hand map on this slide.

9:19Anyway, on Victoria Road, we'll still have two lanes in each direction and sidewalk on both sides of the road.

9:29But the cycle track will be separated. We'll keep the northbound cycle track on the east side of the road while the southbound cycle track will have to detour through an adjacent laneway and the Aramosa River Park before rejoining the main facilities on Victoria Road.

9:45And the advantage of this facility is that, of this option, is that it allows us to avoid costs associated with hydroprol relocation, allows us to avoid property impacts, and it lets us still have a full width cycle track to support our proposed cycling spine network.

10:04We also have very limited space on the bridge, so you folks will recall that there is a steep downhill slope in this area when going northbound.

10:14So, we've added barriers between the active transportation facilities and the vehicle lanes in this area.

10:21We had to combine the sidewalk and the cycling path into a multi-use path in this area in order to fit the barrier, but it was important to us to ensure that pedestrians and cyclists are protected from traffic when traveling up or down the slope because it can be quite physically and mentally demanding.

10:37So, the full cross section of the bridge is shown in the bottom right hand figure on this slide.

10:44In addition to the road cross sections I've just showed to you, the Victoria Road and the Stone Road study is currently also recommending a new roundabout at the Watson Parkway and Stone Road intersection.

10:59It's recommending protected intersection upgrades at existing and proposed signalized intersections.

11:05And finally, we're recommending a new trail crossing at the Royal Recreational Trail on Victoria Road just south of the bridge here, as shown in the trails master plan as well.

11:19The feasibility of the following crossings though are still being evaluated as part of the traffic impact study and that includes an additional trail crossing on Stone Road west of the Aramasa River to connect featured city trails on the north and south sides of Stone Road,

11:35and also a potential pedestrian crossing or new signalized intersections somewhere on Victoria Road between York Road and the Aramasa River.

11:45And the purpose of such a potential signal would be to help improve pedestrian connectivity to the commercial areas, to the plaza at York and Victoria as well as to help create gaps in traffic for vehicles to be able to enter and exit the plaza.

12:04However, these items are still under review right now, but they will be incorporated into the preliminary design if recommended after the traffic study is complete.

12:14So currently we're in the stage of the study where we're trying to get feedback from the public to confirm and refine our preferred designs for Victoria Road and Stone Road.

12:28We just held our open house on June 11th where we got lots of useful commentary and we're hoping to get some feedback from the committee here as well on the designs that we have shown.

12:41After we have collected feedback and confirmed the preferred design, we will prepare the environmental study report to fully assess and identify impacts and mitigation measures for the preferred design.

12:55And that report is slated for completion in early 2027, after which we'll issue the notice study completion and proceed to design and construction as planned in the capital budget.

13:07Anyway, that brings me to the end of the presentation and I would be really happy to hear any comments or questions that you folks have at this point. Thank you so much for listening.

13:18Thank you Nancy. That was a lot of information.

13:23So basically, I'm not even reading the recommendations. So the two recommendations that Nancy was looking for today from us as the committee is that the AAC received the information above the Victoria Road and Stone Road environmental assessment check.

13:41And the accessibility advisor committee provides feedback on their preferred design and that's what we're going to talk about now.

13:49Does anybody have any questions for Nancy regarding this presentation?

13:56I'll ask questions. Nancy, so future GID stream A.

14:10Yes. Is that basically where the old turn on turf grass place is or what?

14:19Yes, it's the future GID street A is about 400 meters east of Victoria Road. It's a future road. So naturally I don't have it on any maps, but we can imagine that it's right between the Guelph Junction Railway and Victoria Road.

14:41And then based on the red proposed one way cycle track. So when you say that on the arrows on the west side of stone, sorry Victoria, that's for cyclists.

14:59Could you call?

15:02Yes, when a good word cycle I think, oh, it's a cycle, it's a bicycle lane. But on the map, it's on the west side of Victoria. It's this proposed one way cycle track.

15:14Yep. So on Victoria Road, we're splitting out the northbound and the southbound cycle track. The northbound cycle track will continue on the side of Victoria Road on the west, sorry, on the east side of the road.

15:28But because we don't have a lot of space between the buildings, the west, the cyclists who are on the west side of Victoria Road would have to detour through the laneway.

15:38And there was another question I had. Oh, the corner of the PDI building and that one way street. There was a set of lights.

15:49Yes.

15:50I've recently heard like last summer, I think, would that be something that would be implemented as well? Because there's really no crosswalk for pedestrians, bicycle people, literally anyone to cross safely between York and

16:06the river. You're basically going over four lanes.

16:10Yes.

16:11Yep. So the previous Florence and Victoria signal has been a very hot topic and that is something that we are currently analyzing in our traffic study.

16:24There's a lot of potential pros and cons associated with the traffic signal. Some of the advantages that you've noted already are that it would be great for pedestrian connectivity because it could provide the quickest way to get to the plaza without having to double back to York Road, potentially.

16:46It would make it easier for, it would have some benefit to operations at the PDI building over there.

16:55And it could potentially also create gaps in the traffic to help people enter and exit the ethnic supermarket plaza more easily.

17:05However, it has some downsides as well in that the York Road signal is actually pretty close already. We're a little bit worried about queuing on Victoria Road at the York Road intersection blocking our potential signal at Florence.

17:22And we're also trying to figure out exactly what safety, what are the safety impacts we might have in the area.

17:30So we are considering it very seriously, but we don't have a, we don't have the recommendation for the signal yet.

17:38I did see a note from Cheryl come in or a question.

17:44For you, Chair, would you like me to read Cheryl's message out loud?

17:47If you don't mind.

17:49Okay. This is a message from member Cheryl Stacey.

17:54They said, Hi, I had a question about the multi use walkway mentioned. Currently, there are accessibility barriers with cyclists using walkways and sidewalks, especially for those who are blind or have low vision.

18:08Those who are deaf or hard of hearing and those with mobility issues.

18:13How will these accessibility barriers be addressed? If the intention is to have a multi use combined walkway, oops, sorry, is the intention to have a multi use combined walkway for both pedestrians and cyclists. Thank you.

18:26And they also, the section mentioned where the road is narrow.

18:30Yep.

18:31To clarify, there is a multi a multi use pathway is also proposed for the eastern part of stone road. And I do acknowledge that it could be a little bit more difficult for cyclists with accessible for sorry for users with accessibility needs on a shared facility.

18:48At this time, we would.

18:51We haven't quite developed the treatments that would be required to help guide cyclist and pedestrians on on these paths, but we would hopefully have some signage that would direct cyclists to use one hand of the multi use path potentially and direct pedestrians and other users on to the other side.

19:13Otherwise, we would be looking into the design. We would be looking to best practice design guidelines to figure out how to alert people that the paths are indeed merging.

19:24And that folks should be a little bit extra alert that the treatment has changed. So, unfortunately, I guess my answer to Cheryl's question is that we haven't.

19:35Is that we haven't quite decided yet.

19:37But thank you for bringing it to our attention.

19:43The other thing while you were talking previously Nancy, you said that there was going to be put in a route about where was that that's not on our picture right.

19:54That is.

19:57That would be at Watson Parkway and stone road. So Watson Parkway and stone road was recently recently signalized and it also has a self bound right turn slip lane.

20:10This intersection experienced 17 collisions in the last five years.

20:15And we're hoping that conversion to roundabout will reduce the number of collisions and collision severity that has been experienced.

20:25Thank you.

20:27Can you go back to the most current slide.

20:31Next slide. Sure.

20:33There's only two. Sorry.

20:35There's only two.

20:36So based on below pictures. So the two.

20:41The Victoria road north of the bridge and the road at the bridge both are four lanes.

20:48Or when it goes to south of the bridge, basically where the work looks like it's going to be done. It's only going to remain two lanes. Correct.

20:57No, at that part I'm going to go back to the previous slide. So for most of Victoria road, it's going to be two lanes in each direction still.

21:05So our study area is all of Victoria road between York road and stone road and I've separated the two segments that we've discussed by the Aramosa river.

21:16Because we have a lot more land on Victoria road south of the river and we have not very much land on the north side of the river.

21:24So on the north side of the river, you saw the very narrow cross sections.

21:29The multi use path, the barrier and the cyclist detour because we can't fit the ideal facilities on whereas south of the river we're able to fit the larger cross section up here.

21:44As you can see in the top picture.

21:48So this is what the majority of Victoria road will end up looking like.

21:55Is there any, I feel like I'm asking all the questions so you guys have to jump in here too.

22:00Is there any way, oh sorry, is there anywhere in Guelph that's existing now the same design that we can kind of put a picture to your words?

22:16Oh gosh.

22:20Let's put you on the slide.

22:22I, I'm just very suddenly drawing a blank. I want to tell you something. I want to tell you Gordon and stone, but the moment that it popped into my head, I realized that had on street bike lanes.

22:35So why don't we imagine maybe Gordon and stone where we have the protected intersection, but imagine that the bike facilities are raised.

22:44And that the boulevard between the active transportation facilities and the road is much wider.

22:55So, I'm sorry.

22:57That's also a bit of imagination using that.

23:01I wasn't expecting to do today.

23:04Sorry. It's raining. Don't worry.

23:07Okay.

23:09Does anyone else have any questions for Nancy?

23:11Just a comment on thinking after the presentation, perhaps something else comes to my for Nancy. We can always follow up with the committee and provide those examples. Yeah.

23:22Um, yeah, because I think what you're saying is there's not a lot of I'm recording. There's not a lot of foot traffic out that way yet.

23:32Um, yeah, it's because of the story and still there's no sidewalks. There is a bike lane, but it's very small.

23:38Um, but like, ideally, I think you said it, did you want the work to start in 2027 or you're looking at completing the assessment in 2027?

23:53Yeah. Um, so I would like to finish the study by early 2027. Um, then construction on the road wouldn't start till 2030. Um, at the earliest.

24:05I'm sure.

24:07All right. Um, because like you said, it is going to be, um, because there's a lot of land there that can be used properly. So there will be a lot of hopefully foot traffic, audible people, um, things like that.

24:22So, um, like Sarah said, you know, if you do have an idea of what you have in mind, you know, that's something already existing in Guelph.

24:35Um, you know, we kind of look at that, but, um, so I'll ask one more time, but then we're going to change this.

24:44I'll do it. Any of anyone else have any questions for Nancy or comments? Lots.

24:52Observations. Okay. So like I said, we only have the one recommendation. Um, well, I'm sorry, we had, we already did one because we received the information from Nancy.

25:03Um, but the other one was that the accessibility advisor committee provide feedback on preferred design.

25:09And we didn't really have any feedback.

25:14We didn't have any feedback. Given the screen, what the.

25:18Um, through you, chair, I've captured three points. Um, I'm unsure if the committee would like to move them, but I'm, I will share the screen now if that's okay. Thank you.

25:29Thank you. Okay.

25:35Through you, chair, the comments that I've captured are, um, that the accessibility advisory committee provides feedback on the preferred design.

25:45And the feedback is that staff provide clarification regarding the flow of cyclist traffic that staff implement traffic lights or and or a crosswalk between York and Airmausa River.

25:58And that staff address the accessibility barriers of a multi-use walkway that impact those who are blind or have low vision, those who are deaf or hard of hearing, and for those with mobility issues.

26:13Um, that sounds great. I see. Can we say an accessible crosswalk? Yes. So, um, thank you, Cheryl. Under section number two or some recommendation number two.

26:25Can we put instead of that, can we put excessive, excessive, accessible crosswalk? Yes.

26:33Um, and the other thing that you mentioned Nancy, and while Jordan was reading that out, you said the bike lane would be a raised, a raised bike lane.

26:43Yep. So it would be a cycle track. So rather than being on the same level as the road, um, it would be on the other side of the curb. So you would see vehicle lane, curb and gutter, planted boulevard, and then cycle track.

26:57Okay. And then obviously like everything was like a track or the raised, the raised cycle track would have the, you know, to code for the curb cutouts and have like all the little grading and everything like that for the visually impaired.

27:17You mean in the buffer between the sidewalk and the cycle track? Yes, we would have the tactile buffer there as well to delineate the two spaces.

27:25Okay. Perfect. Can we bring up the recommended, absolutely.

27:31So these, oh, well, can we also capitalize river? Yes.

27:37Yeah, so based on what Cheryl's, no, it's not Cheryl's suggestion, we're just basically going to change, sorry, not change. We're going to add an accessible crosswalk between your car or mostly river for the staff to implement has a traffic light.

27:53Um, if it's only you do the wording. Do you guys want, I got, do you guys want to move on the three individual emotions or do you want to do it in one lump?

28:11So, you're good.

28:26Here, how would you like, would you like this as a fourth plate?

28:34Yes, please.

28:36Okay.

28:37Because I think the third one would do like have a multi-use walkway.

28:44But to also have that it is most the word that Cheryl used, tactile, tactile something.

28:53Tactile learning, servicing.

28:55Yes, so yes.

28:57Yeah.

28:58That's the.

29:00D WSI.

29:03Sorry, would you mind repeating the term tactile, tactile warning.

29:08Warning.

29:09Surface.

29:10Indicators.

29:12Yeah.

29:13Yeah.

29:14That's not the official term.

29:16We could put layman's terms.

29:20In brackets T, the USI.

29:22Yeah.

29:23Yeah.

29:24Okay.

29:25So, including the addition of the word accessible and point number two, and the fact that we've, what Cheryl can please here, the tactile warning service indicators.

29:38Where?

29:42Oh yeah, would you like to specify where the TWS size would be used?

29:48I think it'd be a good idea.

29:52Do you have the copy of the map?

29:55Like Nancy, I'm sharing your.

29:59One of your little mapping things again.

30:01Sure can presentation about little map.

30:05Here's the study area map.

30:08Um, and this is the complete streets cross section where I think that the tactile indicators were of interest here.

30:19And then you go to the second page.

30:22Yes.

30:24Oh yes, there, there would be a need for separation here as well. We have indicated a buffer where such warnings would go.

30:33Okay.

30:34But it would be applicable to this section as well.

30:37So the TWS sizes would be utilized.

30:42At.

30:45The cross the walk from the crossing. Sorry.

30:48And every time that there was a change.

30:52Between road and sidewalk.

30:57Sidewalk in the cycle right between the sidewalk and the cycle line. Okay.

31:03Yeah.

31:06Okay. So basically we want to include the TWS eyes.

31:13On the proposed multi unit use path.

31:17And the crosswalk.

31:20Yeah.

31:25Nancy mentioned the word buffer, which was a good word.

31:29Just a quick question on the second page on the.

31:34Victoria, uh, rule of the bridge.

31:38I don't see the kind of same sort of spacer.

31:43That would allow for a tactile.

31:46A tactile area.

31:49For indicating.

31:51Correct. That would be a multi use path, which would be intended to be shared.

31:58But, um, for what it's worth, that is a potential barrier that Cheryl, uh,

32:04brought up, um, in one of her earlier points.

32:07Okay.

32:08That's just what I wanted to clarify.

32:11Well, I don't know. I can't see the numbers, but it looks like this on your screen Nancy.

32:19The right. No, back.

32:21Sorry. I'm trying to zoom in and I'm feeling you.

32:24I'm feeling you entirely here.

32:26Okay. But you, you, you can be able to tell us. So the right side of the Victoria road at the bridge.

32:32He's smaller than the left side.

32:35No, they're both 3.1 meters. Oh, sorry. Do you mean north of the bridge?

32:41No, there is no sign. Right.

32:44On either side.

32:46North of the bridge.

32:47We have a 1.1.5 meter sidewalk with a 1.5 meter cycle track.

32:53Um, and then on the other side, there's a 1.5 meter sidewalk at the bridge.

32:58It's a 3.1 meter multi-use path on both sides.

33:01Both sides. Okay.

33:03Okay.

33:04Thank you.

33:07Um, okay.

33:09Can we go back to you?

33:11Yes.

33:12Recommended.

33:14Thank you.

33:16You're welcome.

33:19I'm just going to bring up our recommendations.

33:24Recommendations, motions.

33:26Yes.

33:27So what we've done is added the last one, the TWSIs to be utilized at the crossings and the transition

33:38between sidewalks and cycle lanes in the multi-use path.

33:44So, does anyone have anything they want to edit, change, get rid of for our motions?

33:54And then a follow-up question, do we want to have this as one motion or break it down?

33:59You can see four individual motions.

34:03You guys aren't talking a lot. So I think we should just do one.

34:08I'm just thinking one motion.

34:10Yeah.

34:11We can move the motion to receive and the motion with recommendations as one.

34:19So we can get one move on secondary.

34:21Okay.

34:22So that being said, through Jordan, I've always wanted to say, you know, you would say that

34:26somebody through chair.

34:27So through Jordan, we're going to do this as a one motion.

34:33The first one being that we as a committee have received the information from Nancy about

34:38the Victoria Road and Storm Road environmental assessment and then have this being our recommendations

34:46or feedback, sorry, feedback for what we think the AAC would suggest for the preferred design.

35:01So that being said, can I get a mover to move the combined motions?

35:10Please.

35:11Good question.

35:18Cheryl, will, sorry, great question.

35:21Cheryl, Nancy, will, Nancy, your Cheryl asked, will we be consulted?

35:31Consulted.

35:32Again.

35:33Again.

35:34As the design process progresses.

35:36Have our design process could progress.

35:38So will, will we be made aware?

35:40I guess.

35:42I could provide another update on the design.

35:45I'm not too, I'm not too sure about what new information I would be able to provide, except to confirm the, except to confirm the preferred design and to answer some of your outstanding, some outstanding feedback from our current meeting.

36:03I was only planning to, I was planning to present to you just once, but I can certainly come a second time if there's anything specific that you'd like to discuss that might emerge in later stages of design.

36:19Okay.

36:21So the plan was no, but if you'd really like, I can come back.

36:26You know, it's nice talking to you, so I'm okay with seeing you.

36:29Let's, let's do, let's do that. If you're okay with it and the committee's okay with it.

36:35If we can't get any updates or.

36:40Yeah, updates, providing the process to be fantastic.

36:43Sure.

36:44We can potentially put a pin in something for the autumn to just go over to, to let you know if anything has changed in the design.

36:55If we're implementing any particularly interesting mitigation measures in the area.

37:02And if we managed to solve accessibility on a multi use pathway.

37:08Let's let's pin it up to the fall, the fall season.

37:13Yep.

37:14Okay.

37:16So, still getting back to a mover.

37:20Can we get a mover for for their motions from the committee.

37:31I'll move it.

37:33Thank you.

37:34Can I get a seconder?

37:36I'll second.

37:37Thank you, Colleen.

37:38Hanson and Cheryl. Sorry. Thank you both.

37:41Is anyone object or does anyone object to these emotions that we have on our screen.

37:50Hearing hands seeing nine the motion for all for this has been carried.

37:57Nancy, thank you so much for sharing this with us.

38:00We will see you in the fall. Okay.

38:03Thank you.

38:04Thank you.

38:05Thank you.

38:06Thank you.

38:07Of course.

38:08I do have one question. You've requested some follow-ups, which I think I can provide pretty quickly.

38:14With regards to what the heck is going on with regards to cyclic to cyclist directions in this in the map on the second slide.

38:24And also if we can think of any examples of what the complete streets cross section already looks like in wealth.

38:32Hopefully, may I just pass the past this information on through you?

38:37Through you, chair. Yes, Nancy. If you send it to me, I will circulate it to the committee members via email.

38:43Okay, I will do that in the next two days or so because I will be out of office after.

38:48But thank you. I will, I will try to, I will pass this on when the meetings are formalized and try to address the immediate outstanding questions while I can.

38:57Nancy, thank you so much.

38:59You're welcome.

39:00Okay, so moving on, I think team was right. You know, easy peasy. We're already on to.

39:11What are they called? No, not bad. What did we like being up 123? What do you call that?

39:18It's already down to item three. So we're on a roll. So basically, it looks like Sarah's gone take over our announcements.

39:26We got on that spoiler for her. So Sarah, you have the card.

39:31Thank you, John. Okay, just kind of a repeat from our last meeting in May.

39:39The welfare free committee access recognition awards are coming up for July. However, before that, we have the nomination period, which will be closing this Friday, June 19.

39:54So if you do have businesses, folks with disabilities and or groups of people who have made significant contributions or accomplishments to remove barriers, identify barriers and improve accessibility in the city of well, please get your nominations in.

40:17We have received a couple to date. But like I said, the closing for the nomination period is coming up this Friday, June 19. And then just addition to that, if you do know somebody, but you're looking for support when it comes to that nomination form, just reach out and then you're certainly happy to support.

40:36And then it looks like that the three ways of getting the forms are picking up a city hall. Yeah, we're from both very free committee.org or by emailing accessibility at 12.ca. That's right. Thanks, John.

40:52I'm here for and then we're going on to announcements 3.2, which is true.

40:58Thank you, chair.

41:00Well, everyone, I'd like to note that our next two meetings are July 21, 2026, and then September 15, 2026. So we are taking a summer break for August. There will be no meeting in August.

41:18We are encouraging all advisory committees to have no meetings from after July until the end of term, except for urgent items. So we do have one pressing item for this committee, which is why we're holding a September meeting.

41:37And also noting that the advisory committee terms are coming to an end on November 15 for all members. So if you're interested, please reapply to be part of this committee and applications will open up again in September.

41:52We will circulate an email with the application form should you wish to reapply.

41:58I think you're all ready.

42:00Yes.

42:02I'm sorry.

42:04They can contact us.

42:06Thank you. And as Leigh Ann said, if anybody requires assistance or would like assistance, please contact our accessibility staff or you can contact myself at advisorycommittees at 12.ca.

42:19And the chair, it's okay.

42:21We've gotten the third announcement already. So that was part of the membership update. The next thing I want to note is that member Radman is currently on temporary leave until the end of term.

42:34And Carmen Luzel and Lillian Pregner are no longer members of this committee.

42:44And that concludes my updates on membership. And once again, we encourage you to reapply in September.

42:52Thank you, Jordan.

42:54Does anyone have questions for Jordan?

42:57You can say no, because I think he's not a lot tonight.

43:01Okay.

43:03So that being said,

43:07I really don't think we all want to hang out with us on Tuesday.

43:12So can I get a mover to adjourn this meeting at 345 on June the 16th?

43:26Can I get a mover? Okay. So you all want to stay here? Oh, Cheryl, you're amazing. Thank you. And can I get a seconder?

43:39Second.

43:40Oh, look, everyone's putting up their hand now. Perfect. All right. I think I'll call you second a lot of them. So let's give them to Melissa. Okay.

43:48Melissa, Melissa, second to the dirt.

43:50Thank you, chair. You're welcome. So that can check. Wait, does anyone oppose to being going home early?

43:57Well, we might already be home. But so hearing in or seeing none.

44:02The meeting is adjourned for today in Lake Jordan center. Next meeting is Tuesday, July 21st.

44:092026 at our usual time, 3pm.

44:13And if no one has anyone else, there anything else to say? I hope you have a great day and enjoy the weather and enjoy your summer.

44:22Thank you.

44:26Thank you.
