Re: Notic"e of Motion - ACS Alcolock System

Please be advised that at a meeting held on January 30, 2017, the Council of the Town of Whitby adopted the following recommendation:

Whe~eas the Town of Whitby strives to be a leader in its s·upport for proactive measures that can reduce the risks associated with drinking and driving;

Whereas while there has been increased levels of enforcement, education and awareness about not drinking and driving, more needs to be.done to address _growing concerns related to drinking and driving and the morning after effects by responsible drinkers who take appropriate steps when leaving a bar via a designated driver or similar such programs and show up for work the next day, unaware that they continue to have levels of alcohol in their system;

Whereas countries such as France, Finland, Norway, Sweden and others have implemented or are in the process of implementing legislation requiring all vehicles that transport people or are contracted by various levels of government that interact in the public realm must have a proactive Alcohol Countermeasure System installed on vehicles;

Whereas equipment such as the ACS Alcolock System provides safeguards that will prevent and alert an operator of a vehicle if their blood alcohol level is too high and that they and the public may be at risk; and,

Whereas installation of such devices not only improves public safety, but may also reduce the cost of fleet insurance policies.

Now Therefore be it Resolved:

That the Town of Whitby request the Province of Ontario to implement legislation that will require operators of public transportation vehicles to have installed devices that will proactively prevent the risks associated with high blood alcohol levels the morning after drinking; and,

2016 Construction Activity Annual Report

The following is the 2016 year-end summary report for Building Permits (BP) and overall construction activity that took place in Burlington during the past calendar year. Construction activity in Burlington for 2016 dipped modestly for both the number of building permit applications received and issued. On the application side, there were 1807 BP applications, compared with the 5 year average of 1989 applications. On the issuance side, 1719 permits were issued compared to the five-year average of 1938. Construction value for BP applications received for 2016 remained strong at $528M. The value for building permits issued was $432M which represents a significant decrease over 2015 ($539M), mainly attributed to reduction in the institutional/government sector in 2016 but in line with the five year average for building permits issued at $404M (2012-2016). The combined residential housing construction sector witnessed a significant increase in construction value for BP applications received in 2016, due in large part to a significant increase in the number of apartment/condominium applications. The attached tables and charts show comparative construction activity data over a period of three to five years. It is important to look at the numbers in that context in order to allow for change in mix of projects, fluctuations, delays and corrections that take place year over year, particularly in today’s market economy.

Construction Value for BP Applications Received:

Overall construction value for building permit applications received in 2016 was $528,408,787 which is slightly more when compared to 2015.

Applications for permits in the residential sector witnessed an overall increase of close to 90% in construction value. The increase was mainly in construction of new apartments/condominiums and renovations/additions to existing dwellings.

The construction value and number of permit applications for both single detached homes and townhouses remained virtually unchanged from 2015 in these categories.

The residential construction value represents 56% of the total construction value.

On the non-residential side, the construction value of industrial, commercial and institutional/government (lCI) applications was $229,756,257, which is in line with the 5 year average (2012 to 2016) construction value of $229,988,037.

The commercial sector showed a notable 57% increase in construction value over 2015 ($83,017,080 vs. $53,510,471) while the industrial sector had a more modest 9% increase ($36,285,650 vs. $33,025,400).

There was a diversity of construction activity in both the residential and ICI sectors, a result of increasing intensification and infill developments.

2017 Forecast:

Looking forward, it is anticipated that 2017 will continue to show modest growth in construction activity and associated construction value for building permits. A good mix of projects is forecast in all categories (apartment/condominiums, industrial, commercial and institutional). Building permit applications for renovations, redevelopment and additions are expected to continue to grow across the board moving forward. On the residential front, the City of Burlington is expected to see a number of townhouses projects as a result of infill developments and intensification.

Infill development generally presents more challenges than new development due to more complex building designs and site challenges. The building/planning process for these projects typically requires two to three years from start to completion with a commensurate increase in staff time and effort.

Submission of building permit applications for the last remaining pocket of greenfield development in Alton Village is expected to continue in 2017.

Anticipated Projects in 2017:

Some of the anticipated building permit applications for key developments/projects expected to be received in 2017 include:

The above list shows a good variety of projects ranging from residential, commercial retail, office buildings and mixed use projects. This diversification in project types and construction activity is in-line with the strategic plan direction of A City that Grows (Burlington’s Strategic Plan, 2015-2040). The diversification of projects also ensures long-term sustainable development, healthy construction activity and growth for the local economy.
