Ju/we 5A. ciolS Chair Councillor Elaine Moore &Members of the Planning & Infrastructure Services Committee City of Brampton 2 Wellington St. W Brampton, Ontario L6Y4R2 Dear Chair Moore &Members of the Planning &Infrastructure Services Committee, RE: BILD Comments - Brampton LRT-June 22nd meeting ofthe P&ISCommittee Members of the Building Industryand Land Development Association (BILD) were very pleasedto hear the Minister of Transportation's announcement on April 21st which confirmed that the Province was moving forward with the Hurontario-Main Light Rail Transit Project, bringing23 kilometres of rapid transit to Mississauga and Brampton. The priority rapid transit projects that the Province is investing in willincrease transit ridership, reduce travel times, manage congestion, connect people to jobs, and improve the economy. Overall, the province'sMoving Ontario Forward plan will make $31.5 billion availableover the next 10 years for investment in priority infrastructure projects across the Province, and is expected to support over approximately 20,000 jobs per year in construction and related industries. This is a move firmly supported by BILD and its members. We are also very supportive of the $16 billion being allocated to transit and transportation projects in the GTHA - whereapproximately $15 billion will be available forinvestmentin roads, bridges, transit and other criticalinfrastructurein the rest of the province through the Moving Ontario Forward Plan. We wouldliketo offerour most sincerecongratulations on the announcement of the fully­ funded $1.6 billion lightrail transit linein Peel Region. It should be noted that other regions are not receiving a benefit ofa fully funded transit infrastructure. Connectingthe Citiesof Mississaugaand Brampton along Hurontario-Main Street will ensure that these two cities continue to growand become even stronger economicengines for the Provinceof Ontario. ThisHurontario-Main LRT will provide a crucial linkbetweenmanyof the Region's existing transit lines, and our association has always been supportive of transit and transportation initiatives, especially when they are associated to goods and people movement in an ever growing part of Ontario, such as the City of Brampton. We understand thattheCity will becloser to making adecision onthe Brampton LRT atitsPlanning and Infrastructure Services Committee meeting onJune 22nd. As your partnersin community building, and as interested and affected stakeholders, BILD is very supportive ofa surface route that connects Brampton residents and business employees directly into the Downtown GO station. This will be a means to build vibrant, connected andcompletecommunities in Brampton. This city-building project is more than just a transportation route. The direct surface connection to the downtown GO station will be a means of economic and residential development which with its aim to reduce congestion, will be sure to improve the quality of life for Brampton residents. It is the more responsible, cost-effective way to support growth and positive change by connecting neighbours, and business employees to their destinations using sustainable transit. This critical piece ofinfrastructure is aalso avery significant initiative that well complements the City's own goals andobjectives related to the provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The transit option will act as acatalyst for further investment, allowing for additional housing optionsand choices, aswell as increased levels of intensification in an area that makes most sense for the City. The resulting vibrant downtown core will spark economic development, and bring services and people together - what a community transit hub should truly be. The much-needed transit investment is abig step in the right direction and will prove tobe transformational in a positive way, especially ifthere are appropriate planning policies such as pre-designating and pre-zoning to support it. Building complete communities, with the appropriate density ofpeople andemployment spaces, along transit likes like the new one in the City of Brampton makes sense, and a directsurface routeconnection to the downtown GO station will help tosustain the overall operation ofthe service over the long term. This is not atime for small plans, but rather atime for everyone to embrace the change that comes with high density development and additional employment and business opportunities needed to support the long-term sustainability ofthistransitinvestment. BILD and its members look forward to additional conversations of howwe can continue to be the City ofBrampton's partner in building complete communities, and how we can all work together to have better movement ofgoods and people, in a region that will continue to grow.

Specific to Brampton, OHBA is supportive ofthe announcement by the Minister ofTransportation on April 21st that confirmed provincial funding to move ahead with the Hurontario-Main LRT. OHBA hasconsistently supported investments to expand transitservices across the Greater Golden Horseshoe, however our support has been contingent on better linking transit and transportation investments with efficient land-use planning which will maximize the value of these investments. We understand that the City will be closer to making a decision on the Brampton LRT at its Planning and Infrastructure Services Committee meeting onJune 22nd. OHBA and ourlargest local association BILD, are supportive ofa surface route that connects Brampton residents and business employees directly intothe Downtown GO station. OHBA notes that the direct surface connection to the downtown GO station is a critical component of the project as it will be a means of economic and residential development which will reduce congestion, create jobs and will improve the quality of life for Brampton residents. OHBA believes the direct connection is the more responsible, cost-effective choice to support growth by connecting neighbours, and business employees to their destinations using transit. OHBA believes that transportation infrastructure investments by the province should be packaged with municipal implementation tools including pre-zoning and Community Planning Permit Systems to create certainty and investment-ready communities. These investments should be made on the basis that they would work towards the goal of achieving the intensification and density targets of the Growth Plan as well as incenting development opportunities in areas that should be intensifying, yet have not attracted F2-2-Z the necessary investment. The province and its municipal partners, including Brampton, should also ensure that transit-oriented, location-efficient communities remain affordable for people to purchase or rent housing and attract employers. The private sector will invest in transit-oriented development along transit corridors, including the Hurontario-Main LRT corridor, but we require better planning certainty to bring thesecommunities forward in a more efficient and affordable manner. This requires anapproach to "take thepolitics outofplanning"through pre-designation and pre-zoning. In the OHBA Co-ordinated Review submission to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in May, we noted that while progress has been made overthe past decade, too many existing and planned transit corridors are lined with low-density development and decades out-of-date planning permissions. It is critical that the City of Brampton not make the same mistakes as other municipalities and capitalize on this historic investment in Brampton. Therefore, the city must take an assertive and pro-active role to pre-zoning and pre-designate this transit corridor for transit-oriented development. OHBA notes that should this not occur, that we will approach the province to require pre-zoning prior to funds actually flowing to finance the construction of the LRT. OHBA appreciates the commitment by provincial government to improve the quality of life in Brampton and Mississuaga with its significant financial commitment to the region. Furthermore, OHBA is supportive of the direct surface route option and appreciates the long-term advocacy bythe City of Brampton to make this project possible.

  • REPORT City Council the Corporation of the City of Brampton
    REPORT City Council The Corporation of the City of Brampton Summary On August 13, 2020, in my capacity as Integrity Commissioner, I received a complaint (the “Complaint”) regarding Mayor Patrick Brown (“Mayor Brown”). The Complaint was based on an incident that took place on August 4, 2020, when Mayor Brown attended at the Earnscliffe Recreation Centre ice hockey arena (the “Arena”). The Complaint alleged that Mayor Brown was there to play hockey and that he was not wearing a mask. The Complaint alleged that Mayor Brown had violated Rule 4 (Use of City Property, Services, and Other Resources), Rule 7 (Improper use of Influence), Rule 15 (Discreditable Conduct), and Rule 18 (Failure to Adhere to Council Policies and Procedures) of the City of Brampton’s Code of Conduct for Members of Council (the “Code”). The Complaint also alleged that Mayor Brown had violated the City of Brampton’s Mandatory Face Coverings By-law 135-2020 (the “Mask By-law”), and implied that he had violated the provincial re-opening guidelines passed under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (the “Emergency Orders”) and was involved in changing the City of Brampton’s “Facility Rental” website to cover his actions. Background and Summary I received the Complaint from Aaron Rosenberg, a lawyer representing the Rebel News Network Ltd. (“Rebel News”) and one of its reporters, David Menzies (“Mr. Menzies”). I will refer to them collectively as the “Complainants”. The Complaint included a link to a brief clip of footage taken by Rebel News on August 4, 2020. The Complaint also contained a link to an article published by the Brampton Guardian on August 9, 2020, titled: “Patrick Brown responds to Rebel News video alleging he broke Brampton’s COVID-19 bylaws” (the “Guardian Article”) (Tab 1).

  • Züm Backgrounder
    ZÜM BACKGROUNDER BRAMPTON ZÜM MARKS 100th ANNIVERSARY OF PUBLIC BUS TRANSIT IN ONTARIO WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART BRT VEHICLE BUILT IN CANADA LAUNCHING ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2010 Phase 1 of $285-Million Project Begins Along Busy Queen Street Corridor from Downtown Brampton to York University and will Expand to Include Main Street in 2011 and Steeles Avenue in 2012 Red, White and Silver European-Fashioned Züm Bus Unparalleled in Accessibility, Low Noise Levels, Fuel Economy and 21st-Century Electronic Instrument Panels Little did the small town of Leamington, Ontario know when it introduced the first public bus in the province 100 years ago that the future of mass transportation would ever look like this. On Monday, September 20, 2010, the City of Brampton drives into the public transit history books when North America‟s only state-of-the-art Xcelsior model bus made in Canada leaves the brand new Brampton Transit - Bramalea Terminal at 4:45 a.m. Brampton Züm (pronounced zoom) is a North American Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service with European sophistication built in Canada by Winnipeg‟s New Flyer Industries with integral design assistance from Brampton Transit. Züm is a model of modern-day technical ingenuity that will keep Brampton Transit‟s initial 25 of 60 new vehicles in the $285-million project on schedule and riders up to date with real-time schedule information, like when the next bus will really arrive. Among the other exclusive features that make the European-fashioned Züm ahead of its time in North America are: The highest ranking for fuel economy in factory testing; LED headlights that draw less power; 10-inch kneel, making it the lowest step-on on the market and one of the most accessible public buses in the world; The lowest interior noise for passengers ever recorded in third-party testing; 50 per cent larger tinted skylights for better views Electronic Instrument Panels (EIP) that provide each driver with more information than ever before.
