6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 7. QUESTION PERIOD

7.1 Councillor P. Lorje – Speed Limit on 22nd Street

Councillor Lorje asked about the 60 km/hr speed limit on 22nd Street through to junctions of Highways 7 and 14 towards Blairmore. She indicated that there is no ability for pedestrians to cross on that stretch of roadway given the fencing on either side. She provided a comparison to entering the City on Highway 11 from the south from Circle Drive to 8th Street, where there is no fencing, and the speed limit is 80 km/hr. She asked why the difference and what can be done to increase the speed limit for the section on 22nd Street. She also asked if it is possible to install a photo camera at the intersection of Diefenbaker Drive and 22nd Street to ensure greater safety for people crossing Diefenbaker into Fairhaven, or something to improve safety at that intersection. General Manager, Transportation and Utilities Jorgenson responded regarding the speed limits, that the 22nd Street section is an arterial class roadway and 8th Street section there are grade separations throughout, so different classifications. The matter would need to be taken back to provide a more complete response. Regarding the possibility of installing a camera at the Diefenbaker Drive and 22nd Street intersection, the Administration would need to look at that intersection against the criteria.

Pursuant to earlier resolution, Items 9.1.1 and 9.6.2 were brought forward and considered immediately following Item 7. Question Period.

He also suggested there be more consultation with stakeholders and the youth. He responded to questions regarding cyber bullying and school involvement. Mr. Cole Hogan requested that the bylaw be deferred and reviewed further to ensure no infringement on the Charter of Rights.

She responded to a question regarding cyber bullying indicating that it continues during school hours. Ms. Michelle Dornan spoke in favour of an anti-bullying bylaw and responded to questions. Mr. Kota Kimura indicated that Ms. Janelle Pewapsconias would speak on behalf of the Saskatoon Committee Coordinating Against Police Violence. Ms. Pewapsconias indicated that bullying is a societal problem that requires further education and awareness and expressed opposition to the bylaw. She also provided personal insight on the bullying issue. Police Chief Weighill was in attendance and responded to questions of Council regarding enforcement and the need to have a

bylaw providing that authority. He indicated that the Saskatoon Police Service has been working with the School Boards on protocol. Councillor T. Paulsen entered the meeting at 3:24 p.m. during consideration of this matter. Moved By: Councillor Lorje

10. INQUIRIES

10.1 Councillor P. Lorje – Speed Limit – 22nd Street West – Diefenbaker

Drive to City Limits (File No. CK. 6320-1)

The following inquiry was made by Councillor P. Lorje: “Will the Administration please report on the speed limit on 22nd Street

West from Diefenbaker Drive to city limits, with a view to ensuring that this entrance to the city has a similar speed limit as does the entrance off Highway 11 in the south of the city. Additionally, could the timing of the traffic signal at 22nd and Diefenbaker be reviewed and improvements, if any are necessary, be implemented.”

10.2 Councillor P. Lorje – Expansion of Public Notification Process for

Zoning Bylaw Matters to Include Business Improvement Districts

(File No. CK. 255-2-1)

The following inquiry was made by Councillor P. Lorje: “Will the Administration please report on the possibility of expanding the

public notification process for various Zoning Bylaw matters so that the appropriate Business Improvement District (BID) board and/or BID Executive Director is notified in a manner similar to the Community Associations when a Zoning Bylaw matter requiring public notification in the respective area is being considered (i.e. when zoning changes are contemplated in the Riversdale area, the Riversdale BID would be informed, etc.)”

10.3 Councillor R. Donauer – Addition of Merge Lane – Traffic on Airport

Drive Turning Right onto Circle Drive Westbound (File No. CK. 6320-

1)

The following inquiry was made by Councillor R. Donauer: “Would the Administration report on the possibility of adding a merge lane

to facilitate southbound traffic on Airport Drive turning right and merging onto Circle Drive westbound. Increased traffic is backing up on Airport Drive and a right-turn merge lane would keep traffic moving, facilitating movement onto Airport Drive from other streets in the area.”

10.4 Councillor R. Donauer – Traffic Study – Area of Hangar Road, 47th

Street West, and Avenue C (File No. CK. 6320-1)

The following inquiry was made by Councillor R. Donauer: “Would the Administration please complete a traffic study on the area of

Hangar Road, 47th Street West, and Avenue C and report back with solutions on how to facilitate traffic from the Hangar Road and 47th Street area turning northbound onto Avenue C. With increased traffic, this is becoming a safety issue. Specifically, would you please report back on the possibility of having traffic lights installed on Avenue C and Hangar Road, or Avenue C and 47th Street West.”
