PRESENTED: FROM: SUBJECT:
SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 - SPECIAL MEETING ENGINEERING DIVISION WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE BUS STOPS
REPORT: FILE:
09-119 8500-04
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council receive the “Wheelchair Accessible Bus Stops” report for information. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Concerns have been raised by, and on behalf of, persons with disabilities regarding the accessibility of the bus stops within the Township of Langley. Currently, the Township has 333 bus stops within its jurisdiction. There are other stops within the Township that are on roads within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation. There are also routes in close proximity to the Township that have stops within the City of Langley and City of Surrey. Of the 333 bus stops within the Township, 134 are designated as wheelchair accessible by Coast Mountain Bus Company and TransLink. With funding from the Transit Related Road Infrastructure Program (TRRIP) program, the Township has been able to upgrade 42 bus stops in the years 2007 and 2008 with plans for an additional 25 locations to be upgraded in the fall of 2009. As part of its 2010 capital budget, the Transportation Engineering Department will be requesting $60,000 to match TransLink’s funding to continue the TRRIP program in 2010. The improvements in 2010 will include works to make more bus stops and sidewalk connections fully accessible. The provision of Transit Shelters is also undertaken by the Township of Langley in partnership with Pattison Outdoor. The Township has a contract with Pattison Outdoor for the installation of Transit Shelters at their cost in exchange for exclusive rights to advertising at the shelters. The contract allows for the installation of 5 additional bus shelters per year, with a provision for the Township being able to select some locations at its discretion. We are continuing to work with Pattison Outdoor on the installation of additional shelters in the fall of 2009 including locations on Fraser Highway in Aldergrove. PURPOSE:
To provide information regarding wheelchair accessible bus stops in the Township.

WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE BUS STOPS
Page 2 . . . BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
At the Special Meeting of August 31, 2009, Council adopted the following resolutions: “That Council receive the letter regarding accessible bus stops in the Township from Adrianne Boothroyd, Manager, Lower Mainland Chapter, Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada; and further that this letter be referred to TransLink.” That this item be referred to staff to report on the status of improving bus shelters and bus stops within the Township of Langley.” DISCUSSION ANALYSIS:
Concerns have been raised by, and on behalf of, persons with disabilities regarding the accessibility of the bus stops within the Township of Langley. Currently, the Township has 333 bus stops within its jurisdiction. This does not include the stops on routes that are on roads under the jurisdiction of the City of Langley, Ministry of Transportation, or the City of Surrey. Of these 333 bus stops 134 (40.2%) of them are designated as wheelchair accessible by Coast Mountain Bus Company and TransLink. There are still approximately 21 locations that have been upgraded in the past year and are awaiting wheelchair accessible designation, which would bring the total to 155 (46.8%) accessible stops. The Township participates in an annual program with TransLink that allows for the upgrade of bus stops and sidewalk connections to stops. The Transit Related Road Infrastructure Program (TRRIP), which is a 50% cost share program between the Township and TransLink, is administered by the Coast Mountain Bus Company. The program is typically a total $120,000 annual program ($60,000 TransLink and $60,000 ToL). With funding from the TRRIP program, the Township has been able to upgrade 42 bus stops in the years 2007 and 2008. Plans for an additional 25 locations are also proposed for 2009 with work beginning in the fall. The typical cost of upgrading a bus stop can range from $2,500 to $3,500 for an elevated asphalt pad, and $3,500 to $4,500 for a concrete pad. Projects have also included connecting sidewalks to already existing bus pads and the cost incurred for projects of this magnitude can range between $20,000 and $30,000. As part of its 2010 capital budget, the Transportation Engineering Department will be requesting $60,000 to match TransLink’s funding to continue the TRRIP program in 2010. The improvements in 2010 will include works to make more bus stops and sidewalk connections fully accessible. The provision of Transit Shelters in most municipalities is typically undertaken through agreements with advertising agencies. Similar to other municipalities, the Township has a long term agreement with Pattison Outdoor for the provision of Transit Shelters within the Township. As part of the agreement, existing bus shelters are replaced with new style shelters. In addition, the contract allows for the installation of 5 additional shelters at new locations each year. The locations are typical agreed upon by Pattison Outdoor and the Township on routes that would both maximize advertising revenue and have higher anticipated usage. The contract allows for the Township to select some additional locations that meet community needs but may not necessarily maximize advertising revenue.

Page 3 . . . As part of the agreement, the shelters are installed at the cost of Pattison Outdoor. In exchange, Pattison Outdoor has exclusive rights to advertising at all bus shelters in the Township. The contract has a provision for the Township to use some of the advertising space for community needs. The contract allows provides the Township a portion of the advertising revenue. The advertising revenue received is typically put in the TRRIP program to allow for further enhancements of transit facilities. In 2008 the Township undertook the installation of Transit Shelters on 200 Street in Brookswood. In the fall of 2009, the Township is working with Pattison Outdoor to arrange for the installation of Transit Shelters along Fraser Highway and in Aldergrove, such as Fraser Highway at 272 Street and Fraser Highway at 248 Street. Staff will continue to work with Pattison Outdoor towards the installation of these additional shelters in 2009 as well the development of a plan for the installation of additional shelters in 2010.

REPORT TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL
PRESENTED: FROM: SUBJECT:
SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 - SPECIAL MEETING ENGINEERING DIVISION EAST LANGLEY WATER SUPPLY
REPORT: FILE:
09-120 5330-27-32
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Council receive the “East Langley Water Supply” report; and That Council authorize staff to obtain public input on alternative routing options. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
East Langley is currently supplied exclusively through treated groundwater. This water supply is unsustainable based on current water usage, and limits growth in the area. The Township’s Engineering Consultant for this project has provided three alternative routes to convey water from the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) supply point in Willoughby to the East Langley water system: 64 Avenue, 52 Avenue, and Fraser Highway. The works would provide a sufficient and redundant water supply source to Murrayville, Aldergrove, Gloucester, and areas over the Hopington Aquifer, for growth projections to 2051. Initial capital costs are estimated at between $37.5 million and $45 million, depending on the route selected. The Township’s DCC Bylaw No. 4640 and existing budget incorporate $30.9 million for these works. A grant application for these works has also been submitted to the Building Canada Fund. PURPOSE:
To update Council on progress of the East Langley Water Supply Project and obtain Council’s authorization to seek public input on the routing options.
Page 13 of 27
EAST LANGLEY WATER SUPPLY Page 2 . . .
D.2
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
Aldergrove and Gloucester are supplied with potable water that comes from seven groundwater wells treated through sand filtration. The existing wells have insufficient capacity to meet peak summer flows, as evidenced by this summer’s stage 3 water restrictions in the area. Further, historical monitoring of groundwater levels has identified a significant downward trend, indicating the current rate of groundwater extraction is unsustainable. Studies completed in 2005 showed the best way to provide increased capacity and increased redundancy is with the installation of a water supply from GVWD to Aldergrove via Murrayville. Adequate water service to Aldergrove is identified as a requirement in the updated Aldergrove Community Plan (Council Report 09-30). This project has been identified as the top infrastructure priority for the Township of Langley, per the Special Meeting of Council on December 15, 2008. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Currently, east Langley is using an average of 7000 m3 of water per day from groundwater, with a peak summer volume of 12,000 m3 per day. A sustainable yield of 5000 m3 per day has been estimated, leaving a potential long term shortfall ranging from 2000 to 7000 m3 per day. The operational plan has been to utilize existing infrastructure to maintain groundwater at a sustainable level. The project will reduce the volume of water dependent upon the aquifers and provide a mechanism to purchase water from the GVWD to provide a safe and redundant water source. Through the work of the Community Development Division, and specifically the Long Range Planning Department, growth figures in the area to a horizon of 2051, have been estimated. These growth figures are being used to determine the long range water demands and supply for the Aldergrove/east Langley water supply. Township staff has met with Metro Vancouver (MV) to confirm the water supply is available and a part of MV’s servicing plan, and also confirmed the location of the source of water for east Langley is at the site of the current Willoughby booster station, at 204 Street and 73A Avenue. The Engineering Division and the Township’s consultant, AECOM, have determined the infrastructure required and three potential alignments for the pipeworks to supply water to East Langley, shown on Attachment A. The project will include: • 14km to 18km of trunk water main, depending on the route selected; • a large booster pump station; • a new emergency storage reservoir, which can be deferred for 25 years; • redundancy connections to Milner, Murrayville, and Gloucester; and • allowance for future connections into Salmon River Uplands, including the small municipal Tall Timbers and Acadia water systems. A summary of the route options is in Table 1:
Page 14 of 27
D.2
EAST LANGLEY WATER SUPPLY Page 3 . . . Table 1 - Summary of Route Options
Initial Capital Cost Deferred Capital (NPV) Total Capital Cost Energy Costs (NPV to 2051) Total NPV Cost Environmental Impacts Land acquisition Advantages
Route 1 64 Avenue $43.3M 5.0M 48.3M 1.5M $49.5M Long crossing of Salmon River Utilizes existing road allowances Least energy used
Route 2 52 Avenue $37.5M 5.8M 43.3M 1.9M $45.2M Shorter crossing of Salmon River ROW required between 224 Street and 232 Street Local servicing of SRU
Route 3 Fraser Highway $45.0M 6.9M 51.9M 1.9M $53.8M Minor Utilizes existing road allowances Local servicing of Fraser Highway corridor
Community Implications Completion of this project will eliminate water servicing as an issue requiring resolution before an updated Aldergrove Community Plan can be implemented. Depending on the route selected, development pressures could increase in Salmon River Uplands or along the Fraser Highway corridor. Public input is requested to allow a decision on the alignment to be made which takes into account the public’s informed opinions. Environmental Implications Construction of the project will allow the Township to reduce the amount of groundwater extracted from the Aldergrove aquifer to sustainable levels. It could also allow for municipal water service to more of the Salmon River Uplands, thus potentially reducing water extraction from the Hopington Aquifer. Financial Implications The Township has submitted a grant application to the Building Canada Fund for this project. A significant portion of the project has been identified in the Township’s DCC Program. This project will be taken into consideration during preparation of the 2010-2013 Capital Plan.

F.1 THAT the Minutes of the South Fraser Family Court & Youth Justice Committee meeting held on May 7, 2009 be adopted with the above noted change. CARRIED
3.
TERMS OF REFERENCE (attachments include Revised Terms of Reference and Terms of Reference Explanatory Notes from Ian Tyzzer)
Mr. Tyzzer explained that his report on the revisions to the Terms of Reference is not complete, however he has re-written the Terms of Reference as every year new committee members have difficulty understanding the role and the mandate of the committee as they are currently written. Mr. West explained that in the past new committee members frequently became frustrated with acting in an advisory capacity and not doing enough work, and the committee started looking at providing services, which is not in the mandate of the committee. Mr. Tyzzer then reviewed his suggested changes to the Terms of Reference and his reasons for the suggested changes. The committee was advised that the Terms of Reference in 2004 were adopted by all Councils, whereas the changes to the Terms of Reference made by the Committee at their February 7, 2008 were not, therefore the 2004 Terms of Reference are “correct” and these should be used as a starting point for the committee. Further changes to the 2004 Terms of Reference can be recommended, and these will be sent to the five member municipal Councils for adoption. It was noted that the Attorney General mandates under the Provincial Court Act that all municipalities have a Family Court Committee, and that each Council creates a Terms of Reference for their respective family court committees. Discussion ensued as to the difficulty of quorum being one half plus one of appointed members, and whether the committee could set the quorum at a lower number to facilitate meetings with a reduced number of attendees. Cllr. Kositsky advised that there are other committees that exist dealing with similar issues, for example Concerned Citizens for Justice Reform and the Mayors Task Force on Crime, and recommended that the Committee find out what these committees are working on in order to not duplicate efforts. Further discussion was held regarding the Youth Criminal Act and how it affects the mandate of the committee, and it was noted that the Youth Criminal Justice Act came into effect after the Family Court Committees were already established by the Attorney General under the Provincial Court Act, therefore does not change the committee’s mandate. The committee discussed creating Secretary and Treasurer positions, and whether these additional positions are required or whether staff from municipalities are adequate help for the committee.

F.1 It was moved and seconded; THAT the committee revert to the 2004 Terms of Reference (ratified by all five member municipal Councils); AND THAT the five member municipal Councils be requested to adopt a revision to the Terms of Reference to allow for the appointment of one Council member from each municipality to the Committee with voting rights. CARRIED It was noted that the document containing the history of the changes to the Terms of Reference from 2004 onwards with details of Councils actions will be forwarded along with the above recommendation to explain why this recommendation was made. It was moved and seconded; THAT the Chair of the Committee draft a letter to the Attorney General asking for clarification on the operations of Family Court Committees; AND THAT the Mayors from the five member municipalities be requested to sign this letter.

The Committee learned that many kids suffer from anxiety which can create bullying behaviour. It was noted that a successful program titled “Roots of Empathy” has faced a funding cutback impacting the work of the program, and it is hoped that financial support can be obtained so that the program can continue. Mr. West added that the problem of anxiety is rampant, and that Oden Books has a good series of books that kids can read dealing with the subject. Cllr. King advised that the City of Delta attempted to revise a firearms Bylaw to prohibit the use and sale of firearms, and further explained that non restrictive uses cover farmers and sport hunting, and the proposed Bylaw created a backlash for Delta.

ITEMS FOR INFORMATION
10.
OTHER BUSINESS a) Request for Business License Bylaw Amendment regarding Prohibition of Sale of Drug Paraphernalia – June Barens
Cllr. Kositsky advised that local governments are not allowed to create Bylaws that deal with Federal Government or criminal offence issues, the issue must be dealt with by the police. He added that this issue has been brought forward to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for consideration. It was noted that the City of Langley requires that stores take ID from people selling to them, and provide this information to the RCMP every night. Discussion ensued regarding the definition of drug paraphernalia, as much of the paraphernalia has multi uses and can not be considered drug paraphernalia until it is used for drug purposes.
b)
Request for Criminal Checks For People Who Work With Youth Bylaw – Barb Westlake
Cllr. King suggested that discussion be held with sports organizations to determine the effect that a Bylaw requiring criminal checks on their staff who work with youth could have on them.
