We respectfully acknowledge that the land we gather on is Unceded

Delegation by Carolyn Rice, Make Back Road Safe, to address the specific issues of the campaign and propose solutions.

WHEREAS traffic safety in residential neighbourhoods continues to be an issue of primary concern to Courtenay residents, including speeding and intersection safety, with particular concern regarding the Back Road area between Courtenay and Comox;  


WHEREAS the City has limited methods of effective enforcement and limited financial resources to address traffic safety and municipal servicing in general; 


THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council advocate to the Provincial government for municipal implementation of photo radar and expanded use of intersection cameras to significantly improve traffic safety enforcement and generate much needed municipal revenue; and 


BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, if general municipal implementation is not supported or imminent, Council request implementation of a pilot speed enforcement program, utilizing photo radar or such other advanced technology as may be available, on an urgent basis on Back Road between Courtenay and Comox. 

THAT Council close the meeting to the public pursuant to the following subsections of the Community Charter:


90   (1) (e) the acquisition, disposition or expropriation of land or improvements, if the council considers that disclosure could reasonably be expected to harm the interests of the municipality;


(g) litigation or potential litigation affecting the municipality;


(i) the receipt of advice that is subject to solicitor-client privilege, including communications necessary for that purpose;


(k) negotiations and related discussions respecting the proposed provision of a municipal service that are at their preliminary stages and that, in the view of the council, could reasonably be expected to harm the interests of the municipality if they were held in public; and


(2) (b) the consideration of information received and held in confidence relating to negotiations between the municipality and a provincial government or the federal government or both, or between a provincial government or the federal government or both and a third party.
