Motion: Action: Carried Recommendation submitted to Council 2002 09 16 2) REPORTS a) BBS-2002-19 - 7009 Lundy's Lane Sign By-Law Variance for Speedy International Inc. IT WAS MOVED BY MAYOR THOMSON, seconded by Alderman Fisher that Council approve the requested variance. Motion: Action: Carried Recommendation submitted to Council 2002 09 16 b) MW-2002-115 - Class Environmental Assessment Beaverdams Road (Lundy's Lane to Kalar Road) preferred Alternative - Notice Study Completion Community Services Committee -2- September 16, 2002 Mayor Thomson questioned staff on what specific calming measures would be used in this area. Staff indicated that within the above report it states that staff will use the following measures: centre median at the entrances, shoulder narrowings, speed humps and near Cardinal Newman School to Booth Street staff will be looking at paved shoulders. Alderman Fisher questioned that the speed hump located on Valley Way for the school area was located at Valley Way and Second Avenue. Has it been effective? Ed Dujlovic responded that the speed hump was not intended for the school area but for the corner of Valley Way and Second Avenue due to numerous accidents. Alderman Pietrangelo questioned whether special equipment is needed during snow plowing for the speed humps. Ed Dujlovic responded that the speed hump design allows the snow plows to easily go over them. IT WAS MOVED BY ALDERMAN FEREN, seconded by Mayor Thomson that the City adopts the recommendation to incorporate specific traffic calming measures and that the project be considered in the 2003 Capital Works Budget. Motion: Action: Carried Recommendation submitted to Council 2002 09 16 c) MW-2002-123 - Niagara Transportation Needs Assessment Mayor Thomson advised that this is the first step in dealing with this issue and the City has been extremely cautious for many reasons. To stop any expansion of the QEW, would be very detrimental to the City and the City would like to see the QEW initiative commenced first, then an Environmental Assessment of the Mid Peninsula Corridor. Mayor Thomson noted that Hamilton/Halton/Burlington area has provided tremendous opposition and this report expresses that the City is not adamantly opposed to anything. The City would like to see the project carried out as outlined in the initial study. Alderman Volpatti advised that she will not support the Niagara Peninsula Transportation Needs Assessment Study. The City of Burlington engaged a consultant to do a Peer Review of the Assessment Study and the consultants found some critical errors and omission. Alderman Volpatti noted that the Study focuses too narrowly on deficiencies and traffic capacity without examining broader issues of public transportation and traffic management. The Needs Assessment Study assumes that the proportion of traffic carried by public transit will remain constant over the next thirty-years. The study does not factor in the effects of future road improvements, it excludes consideration of environmental criteria from its initial needs assessment, its calculations are passed on a toll-free highway and there has been no examination of what effects toll highways have on usage. Alderman Volpatti supports the widening of the QEW and the Community Services Committee -3- September 16, 2002 initiation of the Environmental Assessment of the Mid Peninsula Corridor, but does not accept the "Niagara Peninsula Transportation Needs Assessment Study." Alderman Volpatti moved that the motion be amended. Alderman Wing commented that the Peace Bridge is the third busiest truck crossing with 20% of all trucked in goods coming across the Canadian Boarder and moving through Niagara Region. Alderman Wing is on the Regional Transportation Committee and has not heard anyone from the Region opposing the expansion of the QEW. Mayor Thomson responded that he would provide Alderman Wing with documentation that there is opposition so as to save fruitland. This is not accomplished by diverting traffic, but by land use planning. The City is also in favour of supporting The Whirlpool Bridge Trucking Company that wishes to use the Whirlpool Bridge as a trucking bridge. This would provide another alternative for the ever increasing truck traffic. Alderman Wing advised Committee that she received a letter from the Bridge Commission which spoke of having looked at bringing more truck traffic through the Whirlpool area and decided against it for various reasons and pointed out that they already have the ability to expand the Queenston/Lewiston Bridge. Alderman Wing would support the motion as amended. Alderman Federow advised that 50,000 trucks are travelling down the QEW weekly and is concerned that having a portion of that truck traffic divert into the City is not an environmentally friendly move. There have been record smog days this year and bringing in more pollution is not the answer. Alderman Federow feels that an environmental assessment should be carried out dealing with truck pollution, noise and health concerns that may arise. John MacDonald advised that all the issues mentioned are critical and will be addressed by The Whirlpool Bridge Trucking Company which requires significant environmental assessment work to be done. Alderman Federow feels that this Council should look at a viable solution to keeping the truck traffic out of the City. All statistics show that truck traffic will increase each year, which in turn creates more of a safety hazard. Alderman Federow is in favour of the motion as recommended. IT WAS MOVED BY ALDERMAN FEREN, seconded by Mayor Thomson that the Province proceeds with the widening of the QEW through St. Catharines and Sand Plant Hill as soon as possible. Further that the City of Niagara Falls supports the initiation of the Environmental Assessment for the Mid Peninsula Corridor. Motion: Action: Carded Recommendation submitted to Council 2002 09 16 - further - IT WAS MOVED BY ALDERMAN JANVARY-POOL, seconded by Alderman Ioannoni that staff report back to Council after speaking with representatives of the Hamilton/Halton area before reintroducing the "Niagara Peninsula Transportation Community Services Committee Needs Assessment Study." -4- September 16, 2002 Opposed: Motion: Action: Alderman Feren Carried Recommendation submitted to Council 2002 09 16 3) PRESENTATION Presentation of Three Alternatives for Fallsview Boulevard a) MW-2002-121 - Fallsview Boulevard Widening - Issues Brief John MacDonald advised that this type of visual presentation is becoming more common in Municipalities and the private sector because it helps people to understand the impact of proposals. Rather than having a physical model, this is fast becoming the trend and would like Council to give some consideration to this type of presentation for future development throughout the City. After a brief presentation from Delcan and visual presentation by Niagara College of the Fallsview Boulevard Traffic Flow the following discussion ensued. Concerns were raised regarding, bike lanes, bus parking, traffic flow through intersections, keeping the area to three lanes, using the Streetscape Master Plan to get people out and walking, and using the People Mover System. In response to questions raised John MacDonald advised due to high traffic volumes in this area a bike lane would be to dangerous and directed Council's attention to the bike path along the escarpment. Staff ciadfied that buses would enter off of Portage Road therefore alleviating some of the traffic congestion. Staff further noted that a Public Information Centre (PIC) would be held near the end of September and once the comments have been received from the PIC, staff will bdng a recommendation back to Committee for adoption. IT WAS MOVED BY ALDERMAN VOLPATTI, seconded by Alderman Feren that this report be received for the information of Council. Motion: Carried Action: Recommendation submitted to Council 2002 09 16 Community Services Committee -5- September 16, 2002 4) NEW BUSINESS IT WAS MOVED BY ALDERMAN WING, seconded by Alderman Ioannoni that the Grey Avenue Heavy Vehicle Restriction Petition be referred to the Parking and Traffic Committee September 17, 2002.

"We liked the show very much. It taught us a good lesson about respect. We think you put a good message for teens. The idea of letting people tell what they think is very helpful. We also learned that you shouldn't judge people by their looks or color but by their personality." From Rebekah and Connie (grade 7) FREE TO ,SCHOOLS "We really enjoyed ourselves.., you proved a good point towards not doing drugs, drinking alcohol and getting involved in gangs. We also liked the music videos. Thank you for inviting us to go." Braden and Philip (grade 8) "I liked when people went to the microphone and we were on the screen~ We had a lot of fun and also learned a lesson." Emily (grade 7) The Possibility Tour is an interactive audio-visual presentation created for schools by Crossley Communications, a company with over 20 years' experience producing successful events throughout Ontario. Grades 7 & 8 students and teachers arebused by the hundreds to large auditoriums. Popular music videos with a positive message in a Much Music mode are played on a 16-foot screen. Our on-screen video jockey interacts with the student audience before and after each music video topic. Topics such as prejudice, bullying, gang violence, drug abuse, self- esteem and respect are presented visually and discussed. At the end of each music video, students are encouraged to speak their views on the topic into an audience-located microphone while closed circuit TV carries them on the huge screen for the entire audience to view. The interaction of viewpoints becomes a dynamic experience for everyone. The Possibility Tour event lasts about 90 minutes. When students return to class they receive an entertaining and colorful Teen Magazine with stories, games and puzzles that reinforce the positive values of the event.

BACKGROUND: Phase 1 of the Millennium Trail has been a great success. The City has received numerous positive comments on the trail and interest from people wanting to know when Phase 2, south of McLeod Road will be constructed. Efforts are continuing by the City's Trails & Bikeway Committee to raise funds for Phase 2. At the time that Council originally dealt with the Millennium Trail, a decision was made to develop the trail on the west side of the Power Canal. This decision was made because 7 of the 44 homeowners on Redhaven & Ronnie Crescents objected to the trail behind their home. However, at the time that this decision was made, the financial implications were not available. By developing on the western side of the Power Canal, a bridge costing $300,000 will have to be constructed in order to cross the Power Canal and link up with Dorchester Road. From Dorchester Road, the trail will proceed along the Chippawa Parkway and eventually link up with the Niagara Parks Commission Trail. It is estimated that Phase 2 of the Millennium Trail from McLeod Road to Dorchester Road (near the former CYRO building) will cost approximately $300,000. Therefore, the cost of Phase 2 of the trail including the pedestrian bridge will double to about $600,000. Attached to this report are plans outlining the two development options and a photo showing the proximity of the existing maintenance road from the residential properties. There are a couple of matters worth noting regarding the possible placement of the trail on the east side of the Power Canal. Firstly, the Ontario Power Generation Company has no objection, in principle, to the recreational trail being placed on the maintenance road immediately adjacent to the Working Together to Serve Our Community Municipal Works Fire Services · Parks, Recreation & Culture Business Development October 7, 2002 - 2 - R-2002-53 Power Canal. This would provide about a 60-foot separation distance from the rear lots of homes along Ronnie and Redhaven Crescents to the trail. During the original planning a few years ago, it was proposed that the trail be located between the residential lots and the existing maintenance road. Secondly, the City has not experienced the problems in Phase 1 of the Millennium Trail that some people had feared would occur such as, increased garbage, loitering or vandalism. The Trails & Bikeway Committee is supportive of the continuation of the Millennium Trail. The decision as to whether or not the trail will be located along the east or west side of the Power Canal south of McLeod Road will have a significant financial impact on the trail. Therefore, the Trails & Bikeway Committee is recommending that this issue be further discussed and that a meeting be held with the homeowners who back onto the trail south of McLeod Road. A follow-up report will be prepared for Council on the outcome of the meeting.

That Council endorse the parmership with Heart Niagara, The YMCA of Niagara and Track Niagara. 3. That a report be prepared to update Council on the Health & Wellness Program. and that staff look into providing a progra~ to pay for ~oking Cessation ~zugs. BACKGROUND: The primary focus of this project is the promotion of physical activity as a means to improved quality of life. The project will develop and implement a two (2) part 'Health & Wellness Program'. The first part, will be a Corporate Program geared specifically to our employees, and the second part, will be a Community-based program. Corporate Program The Corporate Program will be geared to our employees with a goal of ultimately improving the health of our workforce. The Health and Wellness Coordinator will work closely with staff from Human Resources Services, Heart Niagara, and other appropriate Community Health Partners to determine specific needs for our employees and to eventually implement an appropriate program. The program will be offered to all employees, with the understanding that participation will be purely voluntary. Working Together to Serve Our Community Municipal Works Fire Services Parks, Recreation & Culture Business Development October 7, 2002 - 2 - R-2002-50 Research has clearly proven that employee participation in recreation, sports and fitness programs improves work performance. It is well documented that them are direct benefits of a Corporate Health & Wellness Program such as: increased productivity, decreased absenteeism, decreased staff turnover, improved employer-employee relationship, improved morale, and reduced 'on the job' accidents. Heart Niagara has recently received a grant to deliver a pilot Cardiovascular Wellness Program in partnership with Pfizer Canada Patient Access & Health Policy Division. The pilot Cardiovascular Wellness Program will be provided to all our employees and will eventually be used as a model for other municipalities. The concept of the Heart Niagara Program is threefold: To educate employees on the risk factors of heart disease and provide an individual 10-year risk review to employees; To provide assessment to high risk clients and referral to appropriate services and programs (The physical assessment includes weight, height, blood pressure, cholesterol, history of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, smoking, and use of prescriptions/medications); 3. To provide a review of our employees to determine if behaviour has changed. The Health & Wellness Coordinator will work closely with Heart Niagara to facilitate implementation of this program. Through cholesterol and other testings, baseline information will be obtained for our employees. This baseline information will then be used to develop individual appropriate programs such as improved flexibility and stretching, walking programs, developing and hosting ~vorkshops, and also developing an employee participation recognition program, etc. Participation in the program will provide our employees with the knowledge of how they can safely and slowly increase their physical activity. Even at lower intensity levels, physical activity can have a positive affect on physical health. Numerous studies have shown that improved physical health also has direct positive impact on an individual's mental health and all these positive spinoffs ultimately result in an improved quality of life. Community Program The second part of the Health and Wellness Program will focus on the residents of our City. The program will stress activity, enjoyment and participation for all ages and abilities. It will establish a link between health and recreation simply by getting more people to participate, more often, in healthy, active leisure pursuits - at home, at work and at play in the community. Ultimately, our goal will be to build awareness through information sharing, influencing attitudes and ultimately encouraging behaviour change to a healthier lifestyle. The main purpose of the Community Program will be to establish an awareness campaign to promote a healthier and active lifestyle. The program will strive to: 1. Develop and implement community special events that promote an active Lifestyle; October 7, 2002 - 3 - R-2002-50 2. Encourage family/community involvement in physical activity; 3. Develop and implement a fitness activity expo; Provide a seminar at the Coronation 50 Plus Recreation Centre to promote healthy aging; Detemfine how the Leisure Guide can be used effectively as a tool to promote a healthier active lifestyle; Review the availability of low-cost opportunities in the community to promote an active lifestyle. Partnership The City will partner with a number of community organizations: Heart Niagara will be our primary parmer in the implementation and development of the Corporate portion of this project. As previously mentioned, Heart Niagara has successfully obtained a grant to carry out an employee cardiovascular testing program and to provide a multi disciplinary team of specialists who will provide on going support and information for our employees. The YMCA has agreed to provide both staff support and a financial contribution toward the program. A fitness program will be developed specifically for our employees. They have also expressed interest in the development and implementation of the Community component of the project. Track Niagara, a local organization of both competitive and recreational runners and walkers, is willing to provide a financial contribution, as well as guidance on starting either walking or running programs. General Information Supporting the Need for Project A national survey conducted a number of years ago on Well Being indicated that an active way of life was far from the norm in Canadian Society. Medical research has proven that sedentary living habits are directly related to incidents of various medical problems such as: coronary heart disease, sudden cardiac arrest, stroke, hypertension, muskuloskeltal (back injury, repetitive strains injury), osteoporosis, etc. However, numerous studies have clearly shown that physical activity can make a major contribution to the prevention and treatment of a multitude of these common chronic diseases and medical conditions. Childhood obesity is also rising at an alarming rate. Our children's new sedentary lifestyle is supported by technology, nutrient-deficient foods, fast and bad fat foods, media, and flashy ads. This increased sedentary life style is occurring at the same time that schools are reducing or eliminating physical education programs which are further compounding the problem. Being overweight or obese is linked to a long list of illnesses and lowered self esteem. Even if the disorders don't show up until adulthood, they have their roots in youth. Lifelong habits are instilled in childhood. October 7, 2002 - 4 - R-2002-50 Societal factors have brought about many changes to the way we live and see ourselves. The family is changing - more single parents, shared custody arrangements, and two income families. Employment patterns have undergone drastic change in the past 20 years and poverty among the middle-class is on the rise. Our demographics clearly indicate that our society is aging and by the year 2011, it is estimated that the 30.6% of our population will be 55 years of age and older. All these factors serve to influence our choices and access to physical activity opportunities. Funding The estimated cost for this project for a twelve (12) month period is approximately $85,000 of which the City will be responsible for approximately $50,000. Funds are available in the 2002 Budget to cover this cost. CONCLUSION: Through the provision of both a work-site and community-based Health & Wellness Program, Niagara Falls will certainly establish itself as a caring municipality.
