COUNCILLOR WARD SUTHERLAND’S TWO-YEAR REPORT It has been two-years now since I was elected to represent Ward 1. I enjoy serving residents and I find it extremely rewarding when goals, initiatives and projects that better our community get accomplished. Many residents in Ward 1 have asked me - “What does a Councillor do?” I would like to share some insight into the life of a councillor. As Councillors we must wear two hats - one to represent the governance of the City of Calgary and the second to represent our individual Ward. Sometimes scenarios arise where the interests of both parties do not align, which makes it very challenging when making decisions that are to be the best for all Calgarians. As Councillors, we are required to participate on Council and make decisions to help govern the City. Additionally, we serve on various Standing Policy Committees and Special Committees (note: Councillors receive no additional remuneration for Committees). It is in these Committees where we get down to the details of all different aspects of the departments and make recommendations to the Council as a whole. The responsibility of representing my Ward covers nu- merous aspects of community. These include all components of traffic calming and traffic congestion, snow issues, criminal activity, various parks and environmental issues, and all facets of development, as well as clubs and community association concerns.

Sign up for the Ward 1 E-Newsletter at: http://bit.ly/1l7ZwXv WARD 1 - TWO-YEAR REPORT CARD Continued from page 1 In the last two years, I have attended: 142 committee appointed meetings; 60 Coun- cil meetings; 14 Business Plan & Budget meetings; 210 City administration meetings relating to Ward 1 issues; 260 administration meetings on City issues; 120 committee related issues; accepted 200 Councillor/Dep- uty Mayor events; and I attended 398 community meetings/events. I called back 405 residents and responded to 21, 987 emails. These numbers preclude meetings, calls and emails my staff deal with when I am unavailable. I also serve on the following Committees*: • Priorities and Finance Committee - (Vice Chair) • Standing Policy Committee (SPC) on Planning and Urban Development (PUD) • Standing Policy Committee (SPC) on Utilities and Corporate Services • Land and Asset Strategy Committee - (Vice Chair) SOURCE: CITY OF CALGARY, 2015. • Calgary Police Commission • Task for Committee on Secondary Suite Regulatory Enforcement • Silvera for Seniors - Affordable Housing • Calgary Economic Development Authority • Calgary Regional Partnership - Sub-Committee on Economic Prosperity In 2014, Council voted against increasing the current count of 14 Councillors. The number of Councillors on City Council has not changed since 1976, despite Calgary’s population increasing from 450K to 1.23 M. Ward 1’s population is almost the same size as the City of Lethbridge, which consists of one Mayor and 8 Council- lors. While I would very much like to meet every resident personally, the dual roles Councillors are expected to fulfill make this extremely challenging. To help address this, I have implemented a “Coffee with the Councillor” meeting in each community, which I will announce in advance and invite you to come out and connect. If you are interested, I strongly encourage you to sign-up for my electronic newsletter or contact Communications and Research Analyst Christine Louie at [email protected]. Take a review of my two-year report card that I have prepared, attend a Coffee Session or contact my office at (403) 268-2430 if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you, answering your questions and hearing your thoughts.

Sincerely, Ward Sutherland, Councillor for Ward 1 * Please note that councillors receive no renumeration for serving on Committees.

In 2011, Roads commenced a pilot program for a new traffic control device, the Rectan- gular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB). I am pleased to report an RRFB was recently installed in front of the Bownesian Grocer at Bowness Road and 79 ST NW! Crossings with RRFBs are pedestrian activated crossings. The beacons have LED lights and display intermit- tent rapid flashes when activated to increase visibility of pedestrians crossing the roadway. These devices are significantly less costly to install compared to other overhead flashing beacons currently used at pedestrian crossings. I want any feedback on the solar flashing lights.

BOWMONT NATURAL ENVIRONMENT PARK

LAND USE AMENDMENT The land use designations of parcels within Bowmont Natural Environment Park are being reviewed, to reflect current and future uses and activities within the park. Parks is in the process of submitting the land use application.

MANAGEMENT A review of current management practices, resource protection and land use within Bowmont Natural Envi- ronment Park is being undertaken to better balance resource protection with current and future land use.

WEST MEMORIAL SANITARY TRUNK AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

I would like to thank Rob Spackman and his City Water Services team for an outstanding job planning and executing the West Memorial Trunk Project. The project is currently well under budget and substantially ahead of schedule. The new estimated completion date is May 1, 2016, a five month reduction from the initial September 2016 timeline. This is a significant accomplishment on a major wastewater system that affected 10 communities in the NW. As a result of Water Services' excellent progress, construction on new homes will commence months earlier, allowing residents to move into their homes sooner, and businesses will be able to open much earlier than anticipated.

Furthermore, the change will improve the safety of drivers, as there have been several fatalities that occured in the intersection. This change will also support the infrastructure for Greenwich Village and the Trinity/Paskapoo Development. The current intersection at Bowfort Road N.W. and Trans Canada High- way (TCH) is a major highway commercial junction and a well-used stopping place and mustering point for travellers heading west out of the city. Bowfort Road is a major road servicing Canada Olympic Park aerial perspective, trans-canada (COP) to the south and businesses and communities to the north.

Sign up for the Ward 1 E-Newsletter at: http://bit.ly/1l7ZwXv Page 9 MEDICINE HILL (PROPOSED NAME FOR COMMUNITY)

MEDICINE HILL Council approved the land use application for the Paskapoo Slopes development by a vote of 12 to 3. The upper two-thirds of the slopes will be returned to the City of Calgary and managed by the City of Calgary Parks Department. The City is investing nearly $3 million to improve the upper slopes and will provide guaranteed maintenance for years to come. The park will have 11.5 kilometres of trails for Calgarians and visitors to permanently enjoy. Those trails will be accessible from more than three different locations.

INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS Trinity Hills Development is responsible for paying 100 per cent of the Sarcee Trail/16th Avenue NW over- pass development. Trinity Hills is also paying 50 per cent of the cost of a pedestrian bridge over 16th Ave- nue and 50 percent of the cost of the trail underpass that will join to Edworthy Park, both of which will be used by cyclists and pedestrians. In addition, there will be pedestrian and cyclist connectivity over the new Bowfort Road Interchange, which is currently under construction.

BEST BALANCE TO PROTECT THE SLOPES Council has introduced and added 16 amendments to ensure the design of the development will be sen- sitive to the area’s history regarding the First Nations and Blackfoot cultures. The amendments address environment and wildlife concerns posed during the public hearing. The new plan represents a carefully balanced mix that addresses the importance of the Paskapoo Slopes. As well, the City of Calgary has critical safeguards within the agreement to facilitate development that is reflective of the sensitivity to the land.

The City of Calgary is studying possible future land uses along the Trans-Canada Highway (16 Avenue N.W.), west of Canada Olympic Park. The area is partially developed with the communities of Valley Ridge, Greenwood/Greenbriar and Crestmont, but it also contains a significant amount of undeveloped land. Please note that this development is contingent on the upgrade of the Valley Ridge Interchange. Only with the upgraded infrastructure on Stoney Trail will there be development. At this time, the Alberta Government has not confirmed a date for construction of the interchange. PROPOSAL 1: 10421, 10707 AND 10909 WEST There are currently three development proposals being VALLEY ROAD S.W. & 221 – 101 STREET S.W. considered by The City that – if approved – would result in significant retail and residential development in the area. The City also has a desire to see more jobs on the west side of Calgary to produce a better balance between the number of jobs and the number of homes. Studying the West Calgary Trans-Canada Highway Corridor is intended to help The City identify and evaluate development issues relevant to three proposals that we are currently considering. All three proposals will require an outline plan that identifies a basic subdivision pattern and addresses infrastructure needs, financing agreements and development issues. These plans include the location and size of roads, the distribution of park and school sites, and location of various land use districts. PROPOSAL 2: 11011 TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY SW The three proposals will also require amendments to the Calgary West Area Structure Plan. Amendments to the area structure plan must align with other policies including the Municipal Development Plan. The three development proposals are located: Proposal 1 - Immediately Southwest of Stoney Trail & Trans-Canada Interchange (LOC2011-0061) Proposal 2 - Immediately South of Valley Ridge Blvd & Trans-Canada Interchange (LOC2011-0079) Proposal 3 - Immediately west of Crestmont (LOC2011-0110) REFLECTIVE SLEEVES • Crestmont Boulevard - work in progress PROPOSAL 3: HORIZON VIEW ROAD SW & 12111 TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY S.W.

CONCEPTUAL DRAWING OF SHOULDICE ATHLETIC PARK REDEVELOPMENT

The City of Calgary is in the process of redeveloping Shouldice Athletic Park! Due to funds made available through the Alberta Community Partnership (ACP) grant and the fundraising efforts of Greater Calgary Am- ateur Football Association (GCAFA), Shouldice Park is building new accessible, multi-sport user and spectator amenities in the Plaza. The redevelopment of the park will include the installation of three artificial turf fields, score boards, lighting, spectator seating, and upgrades of existing change rooms and washroom facilities. The development of the Plaza will lay the foundation for future upgrades and help integrate the multisport park by creating a shared space connecting amenities and improving overall aesthetics of the park. The upgrades and improvements are estimated to be completed by December, 2015. The Plaza will be a shared space, connect- WARD AT THE MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT ing amenities and improving the overall aesthetics of the park. I would like to acknowledge the significance of the Shouldice Athletic Park Redevelopment Project for the sports community in Calgary. Each year, over a million people use Shouldice Park. The funding fulfills a long awaited, highly anticipated milestone and is the last step towards realizing a shared vision of a flagship athletic park worthy of hosting national competitions and events. Shouldice Park will be a premier park in Western Cana- da. Thank you to The City of Calgary, the Government of Alberta and the GCAFA for your successful partnership that will benefit all Calgarians as well as local and national athletes.

2015 Tuscany LRT CUSTOMER SURVEY Calgary Transit conducted an online customer survey from Septem- ber 14 to 21, 2015. As part of the one year review of Tuscany Station, the purpose of the survey was to get feedback on the Tuscany station and service to see if it had made a difference since the opening of the GRAND OPENING OF THE TUSCANY LRT STATION station on August 25, 2014. In mid-September 2014, The City of Calgary’s Transportation Depart- ment reported that passenger counts show that the new Tuscany CTrain Station was serving approximately 11,000 weekday customers. This figure exceeded the planning estimate of 9,000 weekday customers. Of particular note was the high percentage of customers who walk, cycle or who are dropped off at the station. Here is the breakdown of how customers are travelling to and from the station. • 36% bus • 36% auto (26% drop off + 10% park and ride) • 25% walk • 3% cycle A survey with 620 respondents found that approximately 10% of customers using the Tuscany Station are new transit users who previously made their trip using a car.

OTHER FINDINGS - CUSTOMER SURVEY • 88% of customers report that the Tuscany CTrain Station has improved their transit travel experience • 81% of customers rated bus service to the station as good or excellent • Average bus travel time to/from the station is nine to ten minutes • 80% of customers rated the station design elements as good or excellent • 58% of customers rated reserved parking as good or excellent while 36% of customers rated the general availability of parking as good or excellent.

HASKAYNE LEGACY PARK DEVELOPMENT

Traditional western ranchlands come alive with spectacular mountain and prairie views at the site of the Haskayne Legacy Park, a greenspace in the northwest of Calgary that will provide am- ple natural landscapes for Calgarians to enjoy.
