Enquiries

Councillor V. Ridley enquired about the distribution of “Respect the Limit” signage to Council Members. The Managing Director, Environmental & Engineering Services and City Engineer advised that staff determined it would be more efficient to make the signs available at the City’s various Community Centres, for pick up by interested residents, rather than providing the signage to the Council Members for them to distribute.

Councillor B. Armstrong enquired about the status of discussions with CP Railway and CN Railway officials regarding the possibility of rerouting rail traffic. The Managing Director, Environmental & Engineering Services and City Engineer advised that talks were under way and staff are hoping to provide an update report on the matter in June of this year.
