Subject:Pedestrian Amenity Funding
At our last meeting of the Urban Environment and Development Committee, I was
disappointed that you did not allow me to ask some questions about how the annual income
received from rental of the road right-of-way that is being used as a pedestrian tunnel might
be used for the purpose of improving pedestrian amenities across the city.
You did however, suggest that my proposal to establish a fund for pedestrian improvements
be brought to the next meeting. Accordingly, I would request that a fund be established and
if necessary, that the Committee request staff to bring forward a report on how pedestrian
improvements are funded and whether or not a specific fund would be desirable.
Thank you for your assistance.
Yours truly,
Irene Jones
