Cities Conference and Annual General Meeting, being held in Edmonton from

organizations, governments and the Legislative Assembly in making Edmonton a
dynamic capital city. Delegate sessions include topics such as Anniversaries

25th Anniversary of Black Friday (S. Mandel)
|
|
|
|
|
Mayor
S. Mandel, on behalf of City Council, recognized Friday July 31, 1987, when a
powerful and devastating tornado swept the eastern part of Edmonton and areas
of Strathcona County. This tornado, known as Black Friday, killed 27 people,
injured several hundred, destroyed more than 300 homes and caused more than
$330 million in damages, making it the worst natural disaster in Alberta's
recent history and one of the worst in Canada. July 31 is a day that will
forever remind us of the devastation, lives lost and damage that was done - a
day many of us will remember for the rest of our lives.

Mayor
S. Mandel, on behalf of City Council, announced that the City of Edmonton and
the Confederacy of Treaty No. 6 First Nations have entered into a formal agreement
that will strengthen their working relationship and set the foundation for
further cooperation and dialog. July 6, 2012, will go down in history as the
day the Mayor signed a Memorandum of Cooperation and Dialog with Grand Chief
Cameron Alexis and Vice-Chief Stanley Lagrelle of the Treaty No. 6 First
Nations to strengthen professional ties between the First Nations and the
City. Signing took place at the Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation annual traditional
powwow on the north shore of Lac. St. Anne.

|
|
|
|
The revitalization of
Edmonton’s downtown is a component of our future City vision that we are
striving to create a vibrant and successful area for all citizens to enjoy.
The nightlife for citizens who come to downtown after their busy day should
be both accessible and economical.
My office has received requests from various business owners who are
inquiring about the evening parking rates time schedule. In order to offer
the dinner and a play, movie, symphony, festival, etc., it appears to be
inefficient to have the evening rates start at 6 p.m.
A 5 p.m. start time for evening rates would make their visit to downtown
more enjoyable.
Would Administration please:
1. Identify the City owned/managed parkades offering an evening rate
2. Identify the loss of revenue if the evening parking rates begin at 5
p.m. rather than 6 p.m.
3. If a 5 p.m. start for evening rates is viable, when could the parking
rate take effect?
The report to return to the appropriate Standing Committee.

At the last

discussion about new parking initiatives. I have noticed that bus stops are
being extended in length, eliminating parking spots originally designated
as passenger pickup zones (5-15 minute parking).
I would like Administration to provide a report to include:
·
A list of the
changes the City has instituted that has limited the number of parking
spaces in all areas of the City.
