London Street Concerns about the Active Transportation Plan get a Reprieve

The Active Transportation Route planned for London Street has caused a on-going stream of delegations to City Council in the last few months, by residents who are unhappy with the plan and with what they see as a lack of adequate consultation about it.

At the meeting of August 25th, two motions were put forward by councillors to deal with this issue. The first, put forward by Councillor Henderson asked that City Staff bring the plans to Council before tendering any work to be done and that further communication with London Street residents would happen at that time. This was passed.

The second motion asked for a pause on the project for a short time for further consultations and it was defeated, in part because of the redundancy with the first motion already passed. 

But before the video dives into the council debate, first up is a a video of the London Street delegation that presented at the Council meeting. At the very end of the video program, there is coverage of another delegate speaking about similar issues on 7th Street with respect to the Active Transportation Plan there.
