REPORT REFERENCE

1.(a) Major Roads Network -

Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority (GVTA) File: 5562

Ian Adam, Assistant City Engineer, and Ted Sebastian, Planner, City-Wide Plan, provided a report reference to Council on the results of the public consultation about the Major Road Network (MRN) and on the implications, risks and benefits of consenting to designation by the GVTA of certain City streets as part of the MRN. Nick Losito, Director, Environmental Health, presented information clarifying the issues related to air pollution from vehicles using major arterials.

The presentation followed a public meeting held on the evening of November 16, 1998, at which time Council members heard speakers addressing the Policy Reports dated November 10, 1998 entitled "Major Roads - Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority" and a companion report dated October 20, 1998 entitled "Air Quality Impacts of Major Road Network". At that meeting, consideration of the recommendations contained in the above-mentioned reports was deferred to a future Council meeting.

A review was provided of the City's policies with respect to transportation, the background leading to enactment of the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority Act (the Act) in July 1998, and the mandate of the GVTA. Most of the GVTA's resources and effort will be devoted to operating the transit system, however, the GVTA Board is also required to establish the Major Road Network by December 31, 1998. The municipalities will continue to have responsibility for operations, maintenance and construction of new works, with funding to be provided by the GVTA. Suggested criteria for the definition of a Major Road was developed by a committee of the Interim GVTA Board, which was forwarded to municipalities for response.

Staff representatives from the departments of Engineering, Planning, Law, and Environmental Health responded to questions of Council on the issues of truck routes, definition of people-carrying capacity, standards of operation and maintenance and funding, expropriation and powers of existing agencies, emissions, and the benefits of regulation instead of legislation.

MOVED by Cllr. Clarke,

THAT Council postpone consideration of the Policy Report dated November 10, 1998 to the Council meeting of December 8, 1998, at which time staff will provide updated information, where possible, on the following:

(a)the status of section 21(1) of the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority Act (the Act) which provides that a municipality cannot ‘reduce or limit’ people-carrying capacity on a street;

(b)the status of amendments to the Act to "grandfather" all existing City of Vancouver truck prohibitions;

(c)the types of standards to be imposed by the GVTA for the management, operation, construction and maintenance of the Major Road Network, which have a direct impact on funding provided to the municipalities;

(d)the issue of expropriation and existing agencies;

(e)the options available (i.e., at a fixed point in time or at a theoretical maximum before gridlock) for establishing a people-carrying capacity’ baseline for the City of Vancouver;

2. Civic Youth Strategy Progress Report File: 4102

Council had for its consideration an Administrative Report dated November 3, 1998, in which the Child and Youth Advocate, Adrienne Montani, and the Youth Services Coordinator, Parks and Recreation, Debbie Anderson, provided the third annual progress report on the implementation of the Civic Youth Strategy. Recommendations contained in the report were intended to consolidate and sustain the gains made to date in youth involvement and support. Others were intended to help move forward in areas that youth have identified as needing more attention by the City, or senior levels of government. The report also provided an overview of the types of activities undertaken and the achievements by City departments and the other CYS partners over the past year in support of the City’s youth population. Gaps in services for particularly vulnerable or disadvantaged groups of youth were highlighted, and the report outlined next year's strategy.

Also before Council was a report from the Family Court/Youth Justice Committee dated November 12, 1998 which conveyed the Committee's full support of the recommendations contained in the Administrative Report and commented specifically on those recommendations falling within its mandate. Jim Siemens, Co-Chair, Family Court/Youth Justice Committee, spoke briefly, pointing out the Committee had the distinction of having the first youth member on a civic committee.

Theo Rosenfeld, Karun Koernig, Janey Lew, and Marie Didas, members of the Civic Youth Strategy Core Committee, spoke to the recommendations in the Administrative Report, which were prepared with the Core Committee's input. They requested Council's continued support in promoting youth employment, and in providing opportunities for late night, non-alcoholic events for 20 - 24 year old youth, in a safe environment.
