net loss is approximately 0 due to the fact that there is currently alternate side parking. The southeast side would become parking year round.

The online PIC gathered feedback and comments from the community for information and to make Recommendations to the Environment Transportation & Public Safety Committee for Consideration and to Council for Decision.

A summary of the comments and applicable responses are attached in Appendix “B”.

Community input was in favour of the project with many questions regarding detailed design and scope of work. The project is in the early stages of information gathering by BNA at this time before detailed design and coordination with the City can take place.

Most of the comments focused on the bike lanes, safety and amenities.

The lane configuration of the roadway will not change, therefore there no anticipated impacts to traffic.

Risk Analysis:

The Sandwich Street rehabilitation project by WDBA/BNA including the addition of bike lanes is contingent upon the parking elimination being proposed. Not eliminating as noted parking, may delay the project and risks the project being modified to a smaller scope.

Financial Matters:

None of the parking spaces are revenue generating nor would this change require additional infrastructure to be installed, therefore there is no financial implication to this change.

The proposed improvements are fully funded by WDBA.
