WHEREAS the federal government has invested over $26 million in rehabilitating the Port Dalhousie Piers; and WHEREAS community consultation in advance of the rehabilitation made it clear the residents wanted the piers to be restored to the way they were before they were closed for safety issues in 2015; and
WHEREAS before they were closed, there were numerous benches on both sides and only a limited number have been replaced due to concerns about damage from exposure at certain locations and resulting operational and replacement costs; and
WHEREAS many of the benches that have not been replaced were Memorial benches and Staff spoke to all the families concerned and obtained their approval to relocate the benches in question; and
WHEREAS the benches now being installed are of man-made materials so they are resistant to the weather but benches have only been replaced at the south end in the area opposite the parking lot yet, previously, there were benches all along the piers; and
WHEREAS we strive for an accessible community and many residents and visitors, some of them with mobility concerns or limitations, come to walk the Piers, and there are no benches at the end or halfway for resting and enjoying the view;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that staff be directed to install at least four benches at the end and four halfway on the West Pier, and that the benches, which can cost as much as $3,500 each, be funded from the Civic Project Fund; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff be directed to develop a plan to address any bench needs on the east pier.
