Pages 89-134

Report: Councillor Amy Lubik and Acting Mayor Meghan Lahti,
dated May 15, 2019

File: 01-0530-01/2019

Recommendations:

THAT the City of Port Moody declare a climate emergency;

AND THAT the City of Port Moody update its GHG emission
targets to be in line with the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change report targets, and include in its Climate
Action Plan and other community plans new bold actions
that the City could pursue to achieve its targets, including,
but not limited to, the following six actions:

1. aim to have 90% of all new residents live within an
easy walk of their “daily needs”;

2. accelerate its goal of having 40% of trips in the City
made by walking, biking, or transit by 2030, and
continue to champion regional transit initiatives;

3. have 50% of all cars driven on City roads be zero
emissions vehicles by 2030;

4. aim to have all new and replacement heating and hot
water systems in buildings produce zero emissions by
2025;

5. by 2030, reduce the carbon content of new buildings
and construction projects by 40% (compared to 2018);
and

6. include targets for enhancement, including
opportunities for creek daylighting/enhancement,
foreshore protection and enhancement, establishing
connectivity between Environmentally Sensitive Areas
(ESAs) and enhancing forest health in the City’s ESA
Management Strategy, and develop an urban forestry
strategy that will move towards achieving the IPCC
Goals;

AND THAT letters be sent to the provincial and federal
Finance Ministers imploring senior levels of government to
take similar actions and make investments regarding the
climate change crisis as they would in response to other
crises, including, but not limited to: diverting subsidies from
fossil fuel companies, or matching those investments to
fund adaption for municipalities; the creation and expansion
of carbon sequestration technology; the mandating of such
technology for all polluters; just transition career training,
particularly for low-income workers, those employed in
fossil fuel dependent sectors, and Indigenous Communities
[where desired by those communities]; rapid expansion of
transit infrastructure, and clean energy retrofitting for all
existing residential and institutional buildings, particularly
for the most vulnerable in our society;

AND THAT the following resolution regarding Declaration of
a Climate Emergency be endorsed and forwarded for
consideration at the 2019 UBCM convention and next
possible FCM convention:

WHEREAS in 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) released a Special Report stating
that emissions must decline by 45% from 2010 levels by
2030 and reach net zero by 2050 in order to avoid severe
climate change impacts;

AND WHEREAS the World Health organization has
declared climate change to be the number one health
emergency of our time;

AND WHEREAS local governments and cities are globally
taking the lead on climate action, with more than 90 cities
in the USA committing to 100% renewable energy by 2050,
15 cities in Canada committing to 100% renewable energy
by 2050, and 20 cities committing to 80-100% GHG
emissions reduction by 2050, and are calling on senior
levels of government for a more urgent, emergency
response;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Province of
British Columbia [and Canadian Federal Government]
take similar actions and make similar investments
regarding the climate change crisis as they would in
response to other crises, including, but not limited to:
diverting subsidies from fossil fuel companies, or
matching those investments to fund adaption for
municipalities; the creation and expansion of carbon
sequestration technology; the mandating of such
technology for all polluters; just transition career training,
particularly for low-income workers, those employed in
fossil fuel dependent sectors, and Indigenous
Communities [where desired by those communities];
rapid expansion of transit infrastructure; and clean
energy retrofitting for all existing residential and
institutional building, particularly for the most vulnerable
in our society.

Supporting
Vancouver’s Initiative
to Empower Cities to
Set Lower, Safer
Speed Zones on Some
Local Streets

Pages 135-146

Report: Councillor Hunter Madsen, dated May 27, 2019

File: 01-0530-01/2019

Recommendations:

THAT staff be directed to submit the following resolution for
consideration at the 2019 Union of BC Municipalities
(UBCM) convention as recommended in the report dated
May 27, 2019 from Councillor Hunter Madsen regarding
Supporting Vancouver's Initiative to Empower Cities to Set
Lower, Safer Speed Zones on Some Local Streets:

WHEREAS the Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) currently
stipulates a speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour (km/h)
within city limits in British Columbia municipalities;

AND WHEREAS the probability of pedestrian survival is
only 20% if struck by a motor vehicle travelling at 50 km/h,
yet the expected survival rate rises to 90% if vehicle
speed is reduced to 30 km/h;

AND WHEREAS limiting car speed to 30 km/h in
residential areas better supports road-sharing with public
transit and active transportation modes such as cycling
and walking, helps discourage rat-running behaviour by
drivers, and improves the safety of children, seniors, and
the disabled on our streets;

AND WHEREAS lowering the standard speed limit to
30 km/h within city limits for local (no centre line) streets
advances the goal of zero traffic fatalities and serious
injuries that has been set by the BC Road Safety Strategy,
is supported by the BC Community Road Safety Toolkit,
and would enact a key recommendation of the
Provincial Health Officer’s 2016 Annual Report for saving
lives in BC;

AND WHEREAS the BC-based Road Safety Law Reform
Group, in its position paper (June 2016) on “Modernizing
the BC Motor Vehicle Act,” specifically recommends:
“A default provincial speed limit of 30 km/h for local (no
centre line) streets should be included in the
Motor Vehicle Act, with municipalities enabled to increase
speed limits on local streets on a case-by-case basis by
by-law and posted signage.”;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Minister of
Transportation and Infrastructure be asked to consider an
amendment to the Motor Vehicle Act that would allow
incorporated municipalities to institute blanket speed
zones, tailored to their specific local needs and
objectives, in residential areas;

AND THAT the above resolution be forwarded to other
Tri-Cities municipalities for support.
