| 10.2 | Increase Taxi Service in the Downtown Core
Presented by Councillor Siscoe
Whereas the Downtown Licensed Establishment Committee has spent three years working to enhance the downtown business area as a sub-committee of the Downtown Development and Revitalization Committee; and
Whereas the committee has made a number of recommendations to help improve the business climate for all different types of business, including but not limited to entertainment, retails, and professional offices; and
Whereas the changes implemented to date have led to an overall improvement in the climate downtown, including a reduction in disturbances to businesses related to late-night entertainment activities; and
Whereas the situation related to late-night transportation has still not been resolved; and
Whereas a possible solution to the late-night transportation issue would be to allow more taxi cabs into the downtown on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights; and
Whereas this can be accomplished without issuing new licenses by allowing licenses from other jurisdictions to enter into the downtown and pick up fares on Friday and Saturday nights;
Therefore Be it Resolved that St. Catharines City Council request that the Niagara Regional Police Services Board allow licensed taxis from within Niagara to enter into the downtown core and pick-up fares on Friday and Saturday nights after midnight.
