COUNCILLOR INQUIRIES

3.1

Reconstruction of Mature Neighbourhoods Using "Roll-faced" Curb and Gutter Construction Techniques (J. Batty)

Would Administration please review and report back to Council why "roll-faced" curb and gutter construction techniques are being applied to reconstruction of mature neighbourhoods instead of applying the "straight-faced" curb and gutter standard that is currently in place, an example being the North Glenora neighburhood:

When did the standard change from "straight-faced" curb and gutter to "roll-faced" curb and gutter?

Where has the "roll-faced" curb and gutter technique been applied versus application of the "straight-faced" curb and gutter standard in mature neighbourhoods with the reconstruction program?

What is the technical rationale for the change?

Is the "roll-faced" curb and gutter technique being applied informally in the neighbourhood, and if not, why not?

What are the cost implications for "straight-faced" versus "roll-faced" curb and gutter application?

Assess the suitability of applying the "straight-faced" curb and gutter standard in mature neighbourhoods in order to protect treed boulevards.

Assess the suitability of applying the "straight-faced" curb and gutter standard in mature neighbourhoods in order to maintain the purposes of the Mature Neighbourhood Overylay, one key element being the discouragement of front access driveways.

The report to return to the appropriate Standing Committee.
