Moved by Councillor Bonnie Littley

That the Accessibility Advisory Committee minutes of March 29,
2007, be adopted.
Stephen gave an overview: (Stephen to bring to next meeting)
· 1 page layout / no interior / 3 story walk up townhouse
development.
· Active waterway - no info on site levelling, landscape etc.
· Have to look at existing urban area. Seeing a lot of
townhouse developments coming up - not good for anyone
with a disability, or seniors.
· Suggested looking at more underground parking and
therefore more green space above ground.

Plan
Kelly reviewed updates:
. Committee to review priorities in the plan, and come to May
meeting with list of priorities for 2006-2007 funds.
. Lift at ESCC to cost approx. $20,000. $15, 000 remaining

this year.
. Suggested to check with Customer Care for any
Accessibility Issues reported from citizens.
. Request update from Emergency Management.
. Signage at the Museum. Request sign indicating location of
Accessible Parking.
. Recommended that Annual Plan switch to calendar year
instead of Sept - Aug.
. Review of sidewalks: Highview and Whites Road
Stroudes and Whites Road. Request
that Roads check these 2 corners for issues of accessibility.
Also provide info on trowels used in making the cuts between
the sidewalk squares. (technique provided at Regional AAC
meeting).
. Should be continuity of sidewalks so that builders are
required to provide when they get the contracts.
· School sign at Sarah McDonald PS: unable to see the
school bus stopping sign.
· Request info on criteria for when we should be getting site
plans. Seems to be lots of new buildings that we do not get
site plans to review.
· Prem to bring pictures of facilities to next meeting.
