The City’s Transportation Committee today received an update on last year’s Electric Kick Scooter Pilot and approved continuing the pilot in 2022, with some changes to improve the program and address complaints.
Trip data and public feedback gathered in 2021 showed that shared e-scooters provided a convenient mobility option that some residents used to replace short car trips. Demand for e-scooters increased last year, both in total trips taken and average daily trips. Most customers used the service to run errands or to get to social activities, appointments, stores, restaurants and work.
Changes proposed for 2022 would address the most common complaints of sidewalk riding and improper parking, and improve reporting, monitoring and enforcement. Staff would report back at the end of the 2022 pilot season with recommendations for the future of the program.
For the past two years, the City has relaxed regulations in support of outdoor dining and vending in the right of way to help local businesses recover from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Committee approved continuing that Patio Innovation Program in 2022. Measures include temporarily closing sections of roads for patio expansions and physical distancing, removing capacity restrictions for café seating, permitting pop-up retail vending in the right of way, and setting a closing time of 2 am for all patios and café seating. These measures would be extended to the end of 2022. Staff would review and report back before the 2023 patio season on the potential for permanent amendments to the relevant by-laws.
The Committee approved the functional design of the Brian Coburn Boulevard extension and the planned Cumberland Transitway between Navan and Blair roads. The extended roadway and bus rapid transitway would improve transit travel time and reliability, and address travel demand between Orléans South and the south urban area as well as Highway 417. New multi-use pathways would connect pedestrians and cyclists to Blackburn Hamlet, the Chapel Hill Park and Ride, the Bradley Estates community, Prescott Russell Trail and NCC pathways.
Due to the high cost of the recommended plan, the Committee also approved interim measures to improve transit travel time and reliability in the area and encourage sustainable modes of travel, including bus priority lanes, high occupancy vehicle lanes, and multi-use pathways.
Recommendations from today’s meeting requiring Council approval will rise to Council on Wednesday, March 9.
