CORRESPONDENCE

11.1

Support for Island Rail Corridor

• MOVED BY: SEATON
  SECONDED: WADE

  WHEREAS the E&N Rail Corridor, now known as the Island Corridor, which has connected Vancouver Island communities, businesses and services for more that 135 years is a risk of being lost forever by March 15, 2023, without the financial support and commitments of the Provincial and Federal governments;

  AND WHEREAS because 80 percent of Vancouver Island's population lives within five kilometers of the corridor, it presents viable options for commuter and inter-regional passenger rail, as well as strong economic opportunities for excursion and freight services that will reduce traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions;

  THERFORE BE IT BE RESOVED that the UBCM call on the Provincial and Federal governments to commit to making the necessary investments to preserve the Island Corridor so that it can continue to connect communities, establish safe and environmentally sound passenger and freight rail service, and strengthen economies up, down, and across Vancouver Island.

Notice of Motion to be discussed

• MOVED BY: SZPAK
  SECONDED: BLACKWELL

  And whereas environmental, amenity and heritage values of trees are important factors that need to be considered at rezonings;

  Be it resolved that the City of Langford sets as priority a process and policy for the retention of trees and natural spaces for rezonings as a condition of development, not just an option, and that a separate permit be created for removal of mature trees on all developments.
