Moving Ottawa forward. Investing in our community. Moving Ottawa forward. Budget Highlights 2020 has been a year unlike any we have experienced. In cities across Canada, the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a financial toll on residents, businesses and local government. Municipal services are critical in the pandemic response, reinforcing how greatly residents rely on the City. Ottawa has a proven record of sound financial management, but COVID-19 has led to revenue losses and unplanned costs, resulting in a forecasted year-end deficit. The first phase of the Ontario Safe Restart Agreement delivered $124 million in federal and provincial funding to our COVID-19 response efforts and has helped close the 2020 budget gap. These funds are helping us protect and deliver the many municipal services residents depend on. Draft Budget 2021 is a no-frills budget that strikes a balance between supporting evolving community needs during this pandemic and delivering essential municipal services, while also advancing Council’s priorities. This is integral, both to our community’s recovery and to Ottawa’s future prosperity. Many residents in our community face continued financial hardship; it’s more important than ever that Ottawa stay affordable to keep us on solid financial ground. Draft Budget 2021 maintains services that meet the community’s evolving needs, while limiting the property-tax increase and delivering on Council’s promise to keep increases at three per cent. The year ahead still poses challenges and contains many unknowns, but decades of careful financial stewardship have made Ottawa resilient. With the continued commitment from our federal and provincial partners, we are on solid footing as we work towards a vibrant future and continue to meet the challenges of the changing world in which we live. The Draft Budget 2021 has been cautiously developed while we await further information on additional municipal funding from the federal and provincial governments in the coming months. Draft Budget 2021 – At a Glance 1 Keeping residents safe and secure The health and safety of residents is our top priority. A healthy and resilient community is the foundation we need to facilitate social and economic recovery and to keep the momentum going. Delivering essential City services is integral to our residents’ well- being – be that key social services, long-term care, public health response or recreation programs for your family’s physical and mental health. Highlights Parks, recreation and culture • 6 million to upgrade and improve parks • $1.03 million to partner with community groups to develop, renovate, expand and improve parks and recreation facilities • $682,000 to upgrade and make recreation infrastructure better meet community needs • $500,000 to redevelop parks • $300,000 to repair facilities and improve public access and service at City buildings • $100,000 per ward, to be used at the discretion of the Councillor to enhance recreation or park facilities Transportation • $12.6 million to improve active transportation facilities through the Ottawa Pedestrian and Cycling Plan • $4 million to implement the Strategic Road Safety Action Plan • $806,000 to implement temporary traffic-calming measures • $523,000 to improve road safety • $512,000 to install pedestrian crossovers • $500,000 to improve technology and support development of a bike-parking program • $7.8 million to design, upgrade and expand the Huntley winter materials storage facility and two buildings at the Moodie works yard • $50,000 to support traffic-calming projects for each ward, guided by the Ward Councillor • $12 million to improve intersections, adding traffic signals and addressing safety concerns in growth areas Draft Budget 2021 – At a Glance 2 Transit • $23.9 million to purchase and install fare control equipment for all Stage 2 extensions, and to update existing equipment to allow Open Payments • $13 million to improve Blair and Tunney’s Pasture stations, adding canopies and information panels, as well as replacing an elevator and adding an elevator at Blair Station • $6 million to install operator barriers on existing buses • $6 million to prepare for and deliver expanded rail service on Lines 1 and 2 • $3 million to modify roads, signals and other traffic measures to improve bus speed and reliability • $2 million to upgrade OC Transpo’s fare systems • $1.5 million to install additional high-resolution video cameras in transit stations • $1.5 million to improve stations and other facilities with

    Appendix 5 Station Descriptions and Technical Overview Stage 2 light rail transit (LRT) stations will follow the same standards, design principles, and connectivity and mobility requirements as Stage 1 Confederation Line. Proponent Teams were instructed, through the guidelines outlined in the Project Agreement (PA), to design stations that will integrate with Stage 1, which include customer facilities, accessibility features, and the ability to support the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) goals for public transit and ridership growth. The station features planned for the Stage 2 LRT Project will be designed and built on these performance standards which include: Barrier-free path of travel to entrances of stations; Accessible fare gates at each entrance, providing easy access for customers using mobility devices or service animals; Tactile wayfinding tiles will trace the accessible route through the fare gates, to elevators, platforms and exits; Transecure waiting areas on the train platform will include accessible benches and tactile/Braille signs indicating the direction of service; Tactile warning strips and inter-car barriers to keep everyone safely away from the platform edge; Audio announcements and visual displays for waiting passengers will precede each train’s arrival on the platform and will describe the direction of travel; Service alerts will be shown visually on the passenger information display monitors and announced audibly on the public-address system; All wayfinding and safety signage will be provided following the applicable accessibility standards (including type size, tactile signage, and appropriate colour contrast); Clear, open sight lines and pedestrian design that make wayfinding simple and intuitive; and, Cycling facilities at all stations including shelter for 80 per cent of the provided spaces, with additional space protected to ensure cycling facilities can be doubled and integrated into the station’s footprint.

    Local Railway Items from Area Papers

    Local Railway Items from Area Papers - Beachburg subdivision 19/01/1894 Renfrew Mercury Beachburg From an item in the District News this week, it will be seen that it is now proposed to bring a railway from Pembroke to Renfrew by way of Beachburg and Foresters' Falls: in order to connect with the several railways already centering here. The scheme is being gone into with some vim, evidently, and between the natural desire of Pembroke to get a line competing with the C.P.R., and the very probably willingness of the O.A. & P.S. to have all possible feeders for their traffic, - it is quite possible that the new project will get beyond the charter stage. It must be remembered, too, that a road following the route suggested would pass through just that section og Ross or Horton where the proposed line from Pontiac county would srike after crossing the Ottawa river; and if a combination of forces could be effected, one track would do for both roads for some miles before entering Renfrew, with consequent saving of construction expenses. Some such scheme as this may yet evolve; and if Renfrewites see a chance to put in a helping word or hand at any time it would be good policy to say the word or do the deed. With the best of wishes for the prosperity of every town arouns - still, let all roads lead to Renfrew. 23/08/1906 The Equity, Shawville Beachburg The engineers of the C.N. railway are now engaged in preliminary survey work on the proposed line along the front of this county-- the staff was at Bristol Corners last week.
