The Committee had before it an Administrative Report dated June 8, 2001, in which the General Manager of Engineering Services discussed the trial periods of the temporary traffic measures along the Ridgeway Greenway and sought Council's approval for the permanent construction of traffic measures recommended by staff.
Karyn Thomson, Structures and Greenways, provided an overview of the report and with Michelle Harris, Structures and Greenways Engineer, responded to questions regarding staff's recommendation to remove the middle section of the central median on Dunbar Street at West 18th. Staff also responded to questions regarding the effectiveness of the right-in-right-out diverter on West 37th at Granville and agreed to examine wait time for cyclists.
Leonard Narod, expressed concern with the diverter at 37th and Granville, and suggested not only bicycles, but cars be permitted left turns from 37th to Granville. Staff advised this would lead to the use of 37th as a through street.
Richard Campbell, Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition (brief filed), spoke in support of the right-in-all-out diverter on 45th at Boundary Road. Mr. Campbell also suggested a number of measures be implemented to enhance cyclist and pedestrian comfort along the 45th Avenue bikeway/greenway route.

4. Braemar Park Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Plan (File 5757)
The Committee had before it an Administrative Report dated June 5, 2001, in which the General Manager of Engineering Services sought Council's approval for the Braemar Park Neighbourhood Traffic Calming plan as well as the traffic circle at West 26th Avenue and Osler Street. In addition, staff sought Council's endorsement of commitments made to the neighbourhood, as well as a decision on a neighbourhood parking issue.
Carli Williams, Neighbourhood Transportation Branch, provided an overview of the report, and drew to Council's attention an option to remove parking on the west side of Heather Street and south side of West 28th Avenue (adjacent to Children's and Women's Health Centre of BC). Ms. Williams noted this option, recommended by the traffic committee representing Braemar Park Neighbourhood , is not supported by the General Manager of Engineering Services, the Braemar Park Neighbourhood, nor the Children's and Women's Health Centre of BC.
Council discussed the implications of metering adjacent on-street parking, parking policies around various other institutions, and the impact of removing parking from the west side of Heather and south side of West 28th. A member of Council spoke in support of removal of the parking, and noted the current traffic/parking situation along Heather Street adjacent 28th Avenue, combined with the steep grade along this portion of the bike route, could lead to potential liability issues.
In response to a request from a Council member, staff agreed to provide an update on Council's motion from 1999 related to car and/or van pooling at the Health Centre.
Simon Shivers, area resident and member of the traffic committee representing Braemar Park Neighbourhood, spoke in general support of the overall traffic calming plan. He provided a brief synopsis of living in the neighbourhood, and described problems associated with delivery trucks accessing the Health Centre early in the morning and the speed of vehicles accelerating from King Ed to 33rd down Heather Street during rush hour.
Brian Lees, Manager of Transportation Services and Deputy Director of Planning, Children's and Women's Health Centre of BC, spoke in support of the staff's recommendations, but did not support removal of parking on the west side of Heather and south side of West 28th Avenue adjacent to the Health Centre. He advised the Health Centre is committed to reducing traffic in the neighbourhood, and has addressed truck access from Heather Street.
Peter Hammer, area resident, noted free parking on Heather Street between 28th and 32nd Avenues is a form of public subsidization - at the expense of the neighbourhood . Mr. Hammer noted restricting evening parking on 28th Avenue has benefited the neighbourhood, without impact to the Health Centre. He also observed speeding motorists and those who double park have created an unsafe environment for cyclists using the Heather bicycle route.
MOVED by Councillor McCormick
THAT the Committee recommend to CouncilA. THAT Council approve the Braemar Park Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Plan as described in the Administrative Report dated June 5, 2001, entitled "Braemar Park Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Plan" to be funded by the contribution from Children's and Women's Health Centre of B.C. with an additional $55,000 from Streets Basic Capital Unappropriated Account #30003091 - Local Area and other Improvements.

The Committee had before it an Administrative Report dated June 12, 2001, in which the City Manager, in consultation with the General Manager, Corporate Services sought to focus discussion on Tourism Vancouver's operations and their 2001 Business Plan, and to discuss the creation of a Memorandum of Understanding to clarify roles and responsibilities in regard to the 2% Hotel Tax revenues.
