As filed
City Council on July 23 and 24, 2025, adopted the following: 1.

On the agenda
As the city filed it
This motion aims to amend the plans for project 26ECS-RD-02RR which outlines a local road resurfacing along with the construction of sidewalks on Hesketh Court and Tinder Crescent. Tinder Crescent and Hesketh Court are local roads within the Victoria Village neighborhood of Ward 16. These roads serve residents who live there as they do not provide through access; therefore traffic is highly local. Transportation plans to reconstruct Hesketh and Tinder with a sidewalk in 2026-2027.

Residents were not formally notified of the project but were informed by a staff member taking measurements of the road. Numerous residents objected to the sidewalk construction project which prompted my office to conduct a survey to receive feedback from the community on both roads. For Hesketh Court, 85 percent of residents were against the sidewalk project (29/34). On Tinder Crescent, 76 percent of residents were against (10/13). The request from the community is clear, on behalf of these residents I request the project be amended to not include the proposed sidewalk component but continue with road resurfacing on both roads.
