| 9.1 | Port Dalhousie Piers
Whereas the Port Dalhousie Piers were closed by the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans in March 2015 due to structural and safety issues and have remained closed for more than 2 years, restricting public access and enjoyment of the piers and sections of the public waterfront; and
Whereas the piers remain closed and there is no current timeline or estimation of when the Federal government plans to repair and restore the piers; and
Whereas the Port Dalhousie piers are an integral part of our public waterfront which is undergoing a significant revitalization; and
Whereas Council approved support for the community’s preference to fully restore public pedestrian access, supporting amenities and boat mooring based on rehabilitation options presented by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Small Craft Harbours to the community and Council in May 2016;
Therefore Be it Resolved that the City of St. Catharines Council provide direction to the Mayor and CAO to communicate the City’s interest in negotiating the transfer of ownership and responsibility of the piers from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to the City, contingent on adequate Federal funding to repair and reopen the piers, as estimated between $28 million to $33 million; and
Further Be it Resolved that the City’s interest to negotiate transfer of ownership and responsibility for the piers be communicated to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Minister, and St. Catharines MP Chris Bittle to pursue repair work to begin as expeditiously as possible.
