Missing Link Sidewalk Program: 2020 Local Road Sidewalk Installation

Transportation Services has the authority to install sidewalks on arterial and collector roads in accordance with the Missing Sidewalk Installation Policy. An update to the policy, adopted by Council in July 2019 delegated final decision making authority to the General Manager, Transportation Services to add sidewalks to local roads as part of road reconstruction, to accommodate a request for a person with a disability, and in cases where a Community Council has approved a new traffic-calming measure after the policy was adopted. In July 2019, Council directed that sidewalk proposals not otherwise delegated to the General Manager, Transportation Services, or those requested by a Member of Council, be reported on an annual basis to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee for recommendation to City Council. In accordance with this direction, this report recommends the installation of sidewalks on the following local roads: Bobmar Road (west side, Ward 25) Braywin Drive (north side, Ward 1) Markdale Avenue (west side, Ward 12) Parkwood Avenue (west side, Ward 12) Vanderhoof Avenue (south side, Ward 15) A map of the sidewalk projects proposed in this report is included as Attachment 1.

Parkwood Avenue (west side from St. Clair Avenue West to 42 metres north of St. Clair Avenue West); e. Vanderhoof Avenue (south side from 135 metres west of Brentcliffe Road to Glassworks Drive).
