On the agenda are a few amendments to the Vehicle for Hire Bylaw, including the potential for mandatory training requirements for all vehicle-for-hire drivers. Council will receive a report on Urban Trees, outlining options to achieve a goal of 2 million new urban trees and the potential for a private tree bylaw, as well as a report from the Executive Committee regarding the Capital Line South Extension.
- The City is offering seven-day free trial memberships at a variety of recreation centres in May. Group fitness classes, hot tubs, swimming pools, and saunas are among the activities available. For information and a list of participating rec centres, visit the City’s website.
- The City is creating a new Public Spaces Bylaw that will consolidate the current Public Places Bylaw, the Parkland Bylaw, and the Conduct Of Transit Passengers Bylaw. The new bylaw aims to outline what is acceptable behaviour in areas of the city that are accessible to the general public, like transit stations, parks, malls, and university campuses. The City is seeking feedback from residents on what should be included in the bylaw. The survey is open until May 21st. Have your say on the City’s website!
