Sign up for the Ward 1 E-Newsletter at: http://bit.ly/1l7ZwXv WARD 1 NEWSLETTER WARD SUTHERLAND, COUNCILLOR FOR WARD 1 FALL/WINTER 2015 COMMUNITY & MUNICIPAL NEWS TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY ISSUE 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 com- munity 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 con- tact 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. Page 2 LIMITED PRINT EDITION. Go paperless!

The approved operating budget will bring the 2016 tax rate down to 3.5% from the previously approved 4.7% tax rate increase.

  • Seniors' Transit Usage
    Seniors’ Transit Usage Stakeholder Report Back: What we Heard March 6, 2018 Project overview The Seniors’ Transit Usage project aimed to understand the relationship between seniors and transit. The project team wanted to understand seniors’ preferences when deciding whether or not to take transit. In June 2016, the Calgary Transit zero-based review report was presented to Council. This report made various recommendations in which Transit could improve their efficiency and effectiveness in public transit service delivery. As a result of this report, Council directed Administration to provide an assessment of their transit services in order to identify potential changes to service levels or service efficiency, which means the overall customer experience. This also included potential changes to the cost of the Regular Senior Yearly Pass. Additionally, Calgary Transit aims to align their services with the Seniors Age-Friendly Strategy. The Seniors Age-Friendly Strategy includes initiatives that provide opportunities for Calgary's aging population to participate more fully in their communities. This has resulted in identifying key priority areas for The City to track how it's supporting social inclusion and wellbeing for Calgarians as they age. The priority area that this project aligns with in the Seniors Age-Friendly Strategy is Transportation and Mobility. The goal for this priority area is that Calgarians are able to freely move throughout the city as they age. One of the primary indicators that tracks the progress of this result is affordability of public transit fares and passes for seniors. Engagement overview Through engagement for the Seniors’ Transit Usage project we wanted to understand what influences seniors to take transit.

    Airport Transit Study Stakeholder Report Back: What We Heard September 21, 2018 Project overview The City of Calgary is undertaking a study to develop functional-level plans for a future transit connection that will ultimately provide improved transit access to the Calgary International Airport by connecting the future Green Line LRT with the future Blue Line LRT. The Airport Transit Study will provide recommendations for: Transit technology Route alignment, as well as number and location of potential stations, between the future 96 Avenue N.E. Green Line station and 19 Street N.E. Location for a storage and maintenance facility Land requirements Staging plan and cost estimates We are conducting this study now to ensure the future airport connection is: Coordinated with the pre-design planning for the Blue Line extension that is currently underway Aligned with the updated functional plan for Green Line Accommodated in the Aurora Business Park Outline Plan update Considered in the Airport Authority Master Plan update (ongoing) There is currently no funding for the detailed design or construction of this connection. Engagement overview In Phase 1, The City sought input from the public and stakeholders on criteria that should be used when making decisions about technology, alignment and station locations, as well as general concerns and ideas. The public and stakeholders were invited to provide their input at a meeting with the Calgary Transit Citizen Advisory Group, two public open houses, a landowner workshop and in an online engagement activity. A total of 15 people attended the Calgary Transit Citizen Advisory Group meeting,117 people attended the public open houses and 14 people attended the landowner workshop.
