OTHER BUSINESS

Motions/Notices of Motion

9.a.1

The Use of Personal Mobility Devices and Micro-Utility Devices - Councillor Albrecht

RECOMMENDATION:

WHEREAS the Motor Vehicle Act in British Columbia and associated regulations presently inhibit seniors and people with disabilities the ability to be active, independent, and engaged by prohibiting the use of electric wheelchairs and three or four wheeled personal mobility scooters on municipal bike and roll lanes and routes resulting in increased conflicts between these devices and pedestrians on sidewalks, multi-use pathways, and trails as well as motor vehicles.

AND WHEREAS the rapid growth of micro-mobility devices such as electric kick scooters and electric bikes dictates that the Province needs to regulate the use of such devices in the Motor Vehicle Act.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that LMLGA and UBCM advocate to the Province of British Columbia to amend the legislation and regulations within the Motor Vehicle Act to permanently enshrine a new class of Personal Mobility Devices and Micro-Mobility Devices and establish consistent, province-wide standards and regulations for the use of these devices on traffic-calmed public roads and cycling infrastructure across BC.

9.a.2

Closed Captioning for Increased Accessibility – Councillor Mack

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT Council direct staff to ensure closed captioning is functional and accurate for all recorded and live-streamed council meetings; 

THAT Council direct staff to facilitate the use of real-time closed captioning within the Council Chambers during meetings; and

THAT staff report back to Council should further financial investment be required to facilitate these requests, beyond existing staff resources.
