That Council approve the recommendations outlined in Report USTR17-017 dated September 25, 2017, of the Director of Utility Services, as follows:

 

a)            That sidewalks be constructed where they are missing on both sides of Foxmeadow Road, Easthill Drive and Meadowview Road at a location 2 metres from the back edge of the curb where feasible; and

 

b)           That after the installation of the sidewalks, on-street parking be monitored on Foxmeadow Road, Easthill Drive and Meadowview Road to determine if any other parking control measures are warranted.

That the matter be deferred to enable staff to convene a public meeting with area residents regarding the provision of sidewalks on Foxmeadow Road, Easthill Drive and Meadowview Road.
