b) Sustainability Advisory Committee Report to County Council Recommendation: WHEREAS the County of Frontenac is in close proximity to a section of Enbridge Line 9B reported to have more defects and subject to rupture than other sections of pipe;

Page 11 of 269

Page 13. REPORTS FROM ADVISORY COMMITTEES OF COUNTY COUNCIL AND WHEREAS the proposed Enbridge Line 9B reversal includes not only reversing the flow of material through the pipeline, but also increasing the pressure, temperature and transporting different – and potentially more corrosive – materials through the pipeline;

AND WHEREAS fractured bedrock underlies much of the Frontenac region, which would cause a spill of any substantial volume of liquid material to permeate the groundwater and deprive tens of thousands of people of the fresh water they rely on every day; AND WHEREAS Enbridge’s long history of ruptures, spills, and leaks, which increased to 103 in 2009 from 34 in 2001, lead to an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board which reported that “despite multiple alarms and a loss of pressure in the pipeline, for more than 17 hours and through three shifts they failed to follow their own shutdown procedure” and concluded that Enbridge has “a culture of deviance” and “organizational failures”; AND WHEREAS there is no response unit in this part of Ontario, and considering the fact that less than 8% of the Exxon Valdez spill was actually collected, and given that dilbit sinks in fresh water, the possibility that a leak or spill effectively being “cleaned up” in the Frontenacs is next to, if not altogether impossible; AND WHEREAS a break in this pipe in the Rideau River watershed crossing poses a threat to portions of the Frontenacs and others of the Thousand Islands; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac send a letter to the National Energy Board; Ministry of the Environment; Ministry of Transportation; Sophie Kiwala, M.P.P. Kingston and the Islands; Randy Hillier, M.P.P. Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington; Ted Hsu, M.P. Kingston and the Islands; and Scott Ried, M.P.

AND FURTHER THAT the Clerk be authorized to execute the required agreements. CARRIED This resolution resulted from Report 2014-067, Appointment of Integrity Commissioner for the County of Frontenac, advising of responses to a Request for Expression of Interest for the Provision of Services: Integrity Commissioner which was released in January 2013 by the County in which two (2) proposals were received and evaluated as noted below: Table 1 – Evaluation Criteria Evaluation Criteria Price Brief Description of firm, including clients, history, projects and staff Outline of services to be provided Outline of past experience in similar projects Total

Weighting 75% 10% 10% 5% 100%

Staff evaluated both proposals using the criteria outlined in the EOI and concluded that the proposal by Ronald Price, Q.C. provided the best value for the County, as outlined in Table 2. Table 2 – Summary of Proponent Scores Proponent Ronald R. Price, Q.C.

• Mr. Price had indicated that some necessary work including essential research could

be assigned to a junior at the Mediation Centre working under his supervision at a reduced rate. Potential minimal costs include office supplies and an independent letterhead for the Integrity Commissioner which could be designed by the County’s Communications Officer. There would also be reimbursement of travel expenses if required.

Comment

As noted in Report 2014-067, Mr. Price currently serves as the Administrative Director of the Mediation Centre of South-eastern Ontario which he formed with colleagues in 2001, and, whose liability coverage is provided by Marsh Insurance under an arrangement set in place by the ADR Institute of Ontario for its members. After advising Mr. Price of his successful proposal for the County’s Integrity Commissioner, he has advised County staff that he had been informed by Marsh Insurance that his policy with Marsh would not cover his role as Integrity Commissioner nor are they able to accept an application for an extension of coverage to include liability coverage as an Integrity Commissioner. As a result, Mr. Price will need to secure additional insurance in order to proceed with the Agreement for Integrity Commissioner Services, a cost which was not anticipated when submitting his proposal. After consultation with staff, staff are recommending that a yearly retainer be included in the Agreement that would cover the cost of Mr. Price securing liability insurance, which is a requirement of the contract. As noted in Table 2 – Summary of Proponent Scores, noted above, the only associated cost with entering into an Agreement with Mr. Price for the services of an Integrity Commissioner would be the hourly cost should an investigation be required along with the proposed yearly retainer of $1,100 + applicable taxes which remains far less than the second proposal from ADR Chambers Mediators – Arbitrators in the amount of $1,600 per month plus an investigation fee of $300 per hour.

Sustainability Implications As noted in Directions for our Future, providing an equal and equitable level of service across the County is a priority and that government decision-making processes are clear, transparent, forward thinking and focused on the longer term.

Financial Implications The proposed amendments to the Agreement with Mr. Price will result in a $1,100 + 8% tax expenditure that was not budgeted for in 2014.

Corporate Services - Long Range Financial Plan – Capital Asset Planning

Recommendation WHEREAS, on April 16, 2014 Council received the capital asset report from Public Sector Digest; AND WHEREAS planning for capital asset replacement and funding capital deficit is a prudent financial tool for municipalities and a requirement for receipt of future Provincial and Federal capital funding; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac provide direction on the following variables:

Variable Levy Inflation % of Levy dedicated to Capital Transfer from Reserve Vehicle Borrowing (%) Building Borrowing (%) Mechanical & Equipment Borrowing <10 years (%)

Mechanical & Equipment Borrowing >10 years (%) Land Improvements Borrowing (%) Interest on Debt Term for Debt 2024 Predicted Assessment (% FPS Allocated to City of Kingston) Anticipated Surplus/Deficit AND FURTHER THAT this direction be referred to the 2015 Budget process for further discussion by the incoming Council. Background The County of Frontenac has committed to undertaking a Long Range Financial Plan (LRFP) consisting of six parts, namely:      

Strategic Plan o Where are we going? When are we going to do things? Contracts and Obligations o Who do we owe? Who owes us? What does the law say? Asset Management Plan o How do we maintain what we have? Are there assets we can divest? Are there assets we are planning to acquire? Revenue Sources o What funding options do we have? Service Delivery Review o Do we deliver the right services? Are our customers satisfied? Are services being delivered efficiently? Are our services delivered effectively? Business Planning & Operating Budgets o What are we going to do this year? Will decisions this year have an impact on future years?

The purpose of this report is to focus on Asset Management, in particular the question of “how do we maintain what we have?” Completing a LRFP will ensure that the County remains eligible for Gas Tax Funding and senior government capital grants. The LRFP was a recommendation of the County auditor and the KPMG service delivery review. Comment At the September 3, 2014 Committee of the Whole staff provided an overview of the topic of Capital Asset Planning. In particular, building upon the report presented by the Public Sector Digest (PSD) to Council on April 16, 2014 which resulted in the following motion: Recommend Report to Council Corporate Services – Long Range Financial Plan – Capital Asset Planning September 17, 2014

2014-141 Corporate Services

Page 2 of 4

Page 30 of 269

AgendaItem#9d)

RESOLVED THAT Council of the County of Frontenac accept the Corporate Services – Capital Asset Management Plan report; AND FURTHER direct that the Asset Management Plan (AMP) as attached, be updated annually or as required in accordance with changes to best management practices, technology, financial constraints and the outcome of asset condition assessments. The PSD report was based upon 2012 year end data and identified an annual funding shortfall of $851,000. Staff have updated this information to include capital works completed in the intervening years, such as trail expansion, Robertsville Station, Ambulance Fleet and Fairmount Auditorium. The revised deficit is $947,000/year. The financial model presented by staff on September 3 rd included 12 variables for Council consideration including borrowing and the shifting of assessment from the City of Kingston to the County. The consensus of Committee was to provide a covering report for Council consideration at the September 17, 2014 Council meeting. The three options presented are summarized as follows: 





Option One: Public Sector Digest recommendation o 1% dedicated levy increase for capital assets o No borrowing o No change/shift in assessment from City to County Option Two: Reasonable Borrowing o .65% dedicated levy increase for capital assets o 50% borrowing on building and land improvements o Total anticipated debt = $3.268M or a 2.47% Levy Increase o Change/shift in assessment from 79.11% to 77.0% over a ten year period Option Three: No Borrowing o 1.26% dedicated levy increase for capital assets o No borrowing for any capital asset category o No debt or deficit financing required o Change/shift in assessment from 79.11% to 77.0% over a ten year period

Sustainability Implications Developing a plan for the timely replacement of capital assets is a critical step in the County’s LRFP. Sustainable, predictable and timely funding of capital assets, combined with a reasonable borrowing policy will assist future generations by spreading tax burden and ensuring that vital community assets are maintained and replaced.

Financial Implications The LRFP will reduce tax spikes, set reasonable borrowing policies and ensure that we remain eligible for senior government grants. The completion of the LRFP was a recommendation of the County’s auditor and the Service Delivery and Organizational Review completed by KPMG. A 1% increase as recommended by PSB, combined with borrowing will provide for a faster elimination of the deficit and/or room to accommodate future infrastructure acquisitions. Staff will be prepared at the meeting to change options to suit any combination of variables Council may wish to explore.

Recommendation RESOLVED THAT Council of the County of Frontenac accept the Corporate Services – 2014 Property Tax Clawback Threshold report; AND FURTHER a by-law be introduced later in the meeting to establish the percentages by which tax decreases are limited for 2014 in respect of properties in the commercial, industrial and multi-residential classes.

Background Section 330(1) of the Municipal Act states that the council of a municipality other than a lower tier municipality may pass a by-law to establish the percentages by which tax decreases are limited for 2014 in respect of properties in the commercial, industrial and multi-residential classes in order to recover all or part of the revenues foregone as a result of the application of Section 329(1) of the Municipal Act.

Comment The claw back percentage is calculated as the total amount of tax in excess of the 5% cap as a percentage of the total of all reductions in a particular class. For example, if the total tax in excess of the cap is $25,000, while the total of all reductions equals $150,000, the claw back percentage is calculated as $25,000/$150,000 x 100 = 16.6667%. The claw back percentages under Section 330(1) have been calculated as follows: Capping Claw Back and Retained Percentages Multi-residential Commercial Industrial Claw Back Percentage

Background At the September 3, 2014 Committee of the Whole, staff reviewed a proposed land use policy matrix that would provide a framework for decision making on issue of citizen land use requests on County owned property. The intent of the policy is to provide the least intrusive response to addressing the needs of the citizen and the county.

Committee asked that staff address the proposed fee structure to reflect the actual cost of providing the service.

Comment As the owner of lands, it is incumbent upon the County to establish policies to deal with requests from land owners to access public lands in the most efficient manner, while protecting the public interest. Financial Implications The fees attached to each of the applications should offset staff costs to process the application and provide site inspections where necessary. The Municipal Act, S. 391.(1) c provides the municipality with the authority to impose a fee for the use of its property. In accordance with the Act (Sec 270.(1) 1), the County is required to establish a policy for the disposition of land. Under the land use policy, sale of land will be governed by the County By-law 17-1995. The fees do not cover the cost of increased liability or the value added to the property.

Corporate Services – County Council Declaration of Vacant Seat

Recommendation WHEREAS By-law 2013-0046 appointed Councillor Bud Clayton as the Warden for the County of Frontenac effective January 1, 2014; AND WHEREAS Warden Clayton passed away on Monday, September 1, 2014; AND WHEREAS Section 259 (1) (h) of the Municipal Act, 2001 as amended states that the office of a member of council of a municipality becomes vacant if the member dies; AND WHEREAS Section 262 (1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 as amended requires municipal councils to declare the office of a vacant seat: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT it is with deep regret that, pursuant to Section 262 (1) of the Municipal Act, the Council of the County of Frontenac declare the Office of Warden vacant.

Background This report is being presented to County Council as a result of the vacancy left on County Council due to the unfortunate passing of Warden Clayton.

Comment Section 259 (1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, states, Vacant seat 259. (1) The office of a member of council of a municipality becomes vacant if the member, (a) becomes disqualified from holding the office of a member of council under section 256, 257 or 258; (b) fails to make the declaration of office before the deadline in section 232; (c) is absent from the meetings of council for three successive months without being authorized to do so by a resolution of council; (d) resigns from his or her office and the resignation is effective under section 260; (e) is appointed or elected to fill any vacancy in any other office on the same council; (f) has his or her office declared vacant in any judicial proceeding; (g) forfeits his or her office under this or any other Act; or (h) dies, whether before or after accepting office and making the prescribed declarations. 2001, c. 25, s. 259 (1).

The Municipal Act further states, Declaration 262. (1) If the office of a member of a council becomes vacant under section 259, the council shall at its next meeting declare the office to be vacant, except if a vacancy occurs as a result of the death of a member, the declaration may be made at either of its next two meetings. 2001, c. 25, s. 262 (1).

Options Council has two (2) options that it may consider with respect to the vacancy left by Warden Clayton: Option 1 Section 263 (4) of the Municipal Act states: Vacancy, head of council (4) Despite subsections (1) to (3), if the head of council of an upper-tier municipality is required to be appointed by the members of the upper-tier council, the upper-tier municipality shall fill a vacancy in the office of head of council by appointment in the same manner as the head was originally appointed. 2001, c. 25, s. 263 (4).

Should Council wish to fill the vacancy of Warden an election would need to take place, followed by the passing of a by-law to appoint a new Warden. Recommend Report to Council Corporate Services – County Council Declaration of Vacant Seat September 17, 2014

Option 2 Section 263 (5) 3. of the Municipal Act states: Rules applying to filling vacancies (5) The following rules apply to filling vacancies:

1. Within 60 days after the day a declaration of vacancy is made with respect to the vacancy under section 262, the municipality shall, i. appoint a person to fill the vacancy under subsection (1) or (4), or ii. pass a by-law requiring a by-election be held to fill the vacancy under subsection (1).
2. Despite paragraph 1, if a court declares an office to be vacant, the council shall act under subsection (1) or (4) within 60 days after the day the court makes its declaration.
3. Despite subsections (1) to (4), if a vacancy occurs within 90 days before voting day of a regular election, the municipality is not required to fill the vacancy. 2001, c. 25, s. 263 (5). October 27th is voting day for the 2014 municipal election. Given that the vacancy occurred within 90 days before voting day, there is no mandatory requirement for Council to fill the vacancy of Warden as Section 263 (5) 3 would apply. Section 242 of the Municipal Act states: Absence of head
4. A municipality may, by by-law or resolution, appoint a member of the council to act in the place of the head of council or other member of council designated to preside at meetings in the municipality’s procedure by-law when the head of council or designated member is absent or refuses to act or the office is vacant, and while so acting such member has all the powers and duties of the head of council or designated member, as the case may be. 2006, c. 32, Sched. A, s. 105.

Should Council chose not to fill the vacancy of Warden, Deputy Warden Doyle, as appointed by By-law 2013-0046 would act in the place of Warden, with all the powers and duties of the Warden.

With respect to the vacancy of the Mayoral seat of the Township of North Frontenac, the Municipal Act states: Lower-tier declaration (3) If a local municipality declares the office of one of its members who also holds office on the council of the upper-tier municipality to be vacant, the local municipality shall immediately forward a copy of its declaration to the council of the upper-tier municipality. 2001, c. 25, s. 262 (3).

Application for Draft Plan of Subdivision – Willowbrook Estates Township of South Frontenac – County File # 10T-2013/001

Recommendations and Conditions: It is recommended that County Council give draft approval to the plan of subdivision for Willowbrook Estates based on the attached conditions of approval detailed in Appendix B. The application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014). It conforms to the Township of South Frontenac Official Plan, has been submitted along with an appropriate implementing Zoning By-law, and has had regard for the criteria of Section 51 (24) of the Planning Act. Background: An application was submitted by McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. on behalf of 1059823 Ontario Ltd. (Tony Matias) for draft approval of a plan of subdivision on Perth Road in the south end of Inverary in the Township of South Frontenac. Site Location: The subject property is 27.8 hectares (69 acres) and is located on the west side of Perth Road in the hamlet of Inverary in the Township of South Frontenac. The lands are characterized by fields and wetlands with wooded areas to the west. The surrounding area contains mostly single detached lots and some commercial development. Maps of the subject site are attached as Appendix C. Appendix A to Report 2014-145 Planning Report – County File #10T-2013/001 September 17, 2014

AgendaItem#9h)

Overview of Proposal and Background: The application is for the creation of a residential subdivision consisting of:  16 single detached units with an average lot size of 0.93 hectares (2.3 acres)  One Environmental Protection block to be transferred to adjacent lands (Block 17)  One walkway block (Block 18)  Two public streets A previous business park subdivision was approved by County Council in 2010 but approval lapsed in 2013. The new subdivision plan for residential development was deemed complete in November 2013. The version of the plan proposed for draft approval is generally similar to the November 2013 plan, with some minor changes after agency review, mainly relating to floodplain mapping. Part of the lands to the north that were previously part of the subdivision were severed and rezoned for commercial development. Discussion and Analysis: Provincial Policy Statement (2014) The 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. It promotes efficient land use and development patterns that support strong, liveable and healthy communities, protect the environment and public health and safety, and facilitate economic growth. Section 1.1.4.2 of the PPS states that in Rural Areas, such as the County of Frontenac, rural Settlement Area shall be the focus of growth and their vitality and regeneration shall be promoted. When directing development in rural settlement areas in accordance with policy 1.1.3, planning authorities shall give consideration to rural characteristics, the scale of development and the provision of appropriate service levels. The level of density proposed is appropriate for a settlement area without public and water sewer services and will use Township roads. Section 1.6.6.4 of the PPS states that where municipal sewage services and municipal water services or private communal sewage services and private communal water services are not provided, individual on-site sewage services and individual on-site water services may be used provided that site conditions are suitable for the long-term provision of such services with no negative impacts. In settlement areas, these services may only be used for infilling and minor rounding out of existing development. The applicant has provided a servicing options statement demonstrating that private individual servicing is appropriate for this development and has submitted peerreviewed studies demonstrating appropriate long-term site conditions. The development of 16 units in 28 hectares (with only 15 hectares proposed for residential use) represents minor rounding out of the Inverary settlement area, which has approximately 250 properties spread out over 430 hectares. Township of South Frontenac Official Plan The subject property is currently designated as Settlement Areas in the Township Official Plan. The Plan directs the majority of new growth to the settlement areas. Appendix A to Report 2014-145 Planning Report – County File #10T-2013/001 September 17, 2014

Development within settlement areas is subject to a number of policies under Section 5.6 in the Township’s Official Plan. The proposed development for single detached dwellings is compatible with existing and proposed land uses in the area, and the proposed lots are larger than many of the surrounding properties. The proposed lots have been supported by studies that have justified private water and septic systems in accordance with Section 6.10.2 of the Plan. Subdivision development is also subject to the policies in Section 7.3 of the Plan. The lands are compatible with the scale of development in the area. They have appropriate lot area and frontages and have had a peer reviewed hydrogeological study submitted in support of the application. A satisfactory preliminary stormwater management plan has been prepared and the roads will be developed at a standard acceptable to the Township. Appropriate buffering has been secured for neighbours, floodplains, and environmental features. The developer will enter into a subdivision agreement to ensure conditions of approval are fulfilled. The proposed lots have been supported by studies that have justified private water and septic systems in accordance with Section 6.10.2 of the Plan. Zoning By-law The lands previously had a site-specific zone for the previous industrial and commercial developments. The lands were rezoned in July 2014 from the Special Urban Commercial Zone (UC-21) and Special Urban Industrial Zone (UI-5) to Urban Residential-First Density Zone (UR1) to allow for a model home to be constructed on the property. The final layout and site-specific zoning provisions will be confirmed through the subdivision agreement process and a further by-law amendment. Servicing The applicant is proposing private wells and septic systems to support the development. The supporting studies have been reviewed by the County’s peer reviewer Malroz Engineering and the Health Unit. Draft conditions have been included to ensure their recommendations will be implemented. A number of lots proposed were under 0.8 hectares, which required additional justification under South Frontenac’s Official Plan. Malroz has reviewed the justification and is satisfied with the information provided by the developer’s hydrogeologist. Some water treatment for aesthetic parameters will be required to be implemented through the subdivision agreement. Stormwater A stormwater management report was submitted in support of the application. Generally runoff would be directed to the existing wetland and to ditches along the interior roadways and the Perth Road right-of-way. The preliminary stormwater plan has been reviewed by the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority and Township, and conditions of draft approval will ensure the proper implementation of the detailed design of stormwater measures. Natural Hazards Part of the development is within the floodplain, although the majority of the floodplain lands are within the EP zone. In order to allow for more land to be developed, part of this floodplain is proposed to be filled, with another area re-graded as compensation for the displaced flood volume. A floodplain compensation plan is required as a draft subdivision condition. This will ensure the adjustments to the floodplain boundary Appendix A to Report 2014-145 Planning Report – County File #10T-2013/001 September 17, 2014

through the cut-and-fill process will still allow appropriate building envelopes and setbacks on the lots. Environment An environmental impact statement was submitted in support of the application and was reviewed by the CRCA. No significant natural heritage features were identified on the site. The conditions of draft approval will ensure that the major environmental feature of the property – the wetland – will be preserved. Archaeology, Culture, and Heritage The applicant provided Archaeological Assessments of the subject property. The reports indicate a small archaeological site was found on the property containing a precontact artifact (a pre-historic ground and pecked stone axe). The authors concluded no further archeological study was required and the property should be cleared for development. Standard archaeological conditions have been included in the recommended conditions. The reports were cleared by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport in October 2013. Transportation Residents would have access to Perth Road through an internal road. Walkway blocks and sidewalks have also been included in the plan to connect to the hamlet and the commercial development to the north. Originally a service road was proposed by the Township along Perth Road in order to eliminate the negative visual impact of the having backyards and the backs of houses as the entry point to Inverary. However after further discussion with Township Council and the applicant, it was determined that this could also be achieved through visual landscape screening and the requirement for additional architectural treatments of the dwellings facing Perth Road. Further details of this requirement will be determined by the Township through the subdivision agreement process. Parkland The applicant is required to dedicate parkland or provide up to 5% cash-in-lieu of parkland as part of the subdivision process in the Township of South Frontenac, which has been included as a condition of draft approval. Other Issues/Agency Comments Other commenting agencies such as Bell Canada, Hydro One, and the school boards provided either no concerns/comments or included a list of standard conditions. Public Consultation: A formal public meeting for the development was held on April 15, 2014. Several members of the public spoke and asked questions about the proposal, raising issues related to water quality and quality, privacy, septic systems, and potential negative impacts of access to the wetland. No formal written submissions were received. The proposed subdivision conditions include screening for a neighbour affected to the south. Additional testing and analysis was completed on the test wells and Malroz is now satisfied with the hydrogeological and terrain analysis studies. The wetland block will now be added to a neighbouring property through part lot control and will not have public access to the roadway.

Summary The draft subdivision represents appropriate development in the settlement area, and the developer has addressed issues raised during the circulation process. Commenting agencies have reviewed the subdivision extensively and provided conditions of draft approval, and the plan has been endorsed by South Frontenac Township Council. Overall, the proposal is of a size and scale that is appropriate for the lands and will have a positive impact on the vitality of the Inverary settlement area.

Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy Steering Committee Meeting of June 25, 2014 Communiqué The eighteenth meeting of the Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy (RCLS) Steering Committee was held on June 25, 2014 and hosted by the Township of Drummond-North Elmsley. A list of participants is attached. Stemming from the recommendations contained within the Landscape Character Assessment and Planning and Management Recommendations Report, the Planners Technical Advisory Group provided an update on a variety of tools and activities currently under development, including: “10 Principles for Good Waterfront Development along the Rideau Canal,” a land use planning and public education brochure; the completion of a “Who to Call” handout, which outlines who to contact when undertaking typical in-water and shoreline activities, such as docks and shoreline alterations; official plan policies; and a web-based GIS database to support land use planning and development along the waterway. The Planners Group will finalize these planning tools over the next few months. Other presentations included an overview of the recently released Provincial Policy Statement 2014, including recognition of national historic sites and UNESCO world heritage sites; and updates on the World Heritage Periodic Report, the Visitor Experience Opportunities Concept project, Parks Canada’s renovations to the lock office at the Ottawa Lockstation, and the upcoming presentation by Parks Canada and RCLS Steering Chair Doug Struthers at the World Canals Conference in Milan this fall. The date of the next Steering Committee meeting is to be determined, pending the scheduling of the next Planners Technical Advisory Group meeting.

Summary of the Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy July 2014 Background 

In 2007, upon bestowing UNESCO World Heritage Site designation to the Rideau, the World Heritage Committee recommended that consideration be given to strengthening the canal’s visual protection outside the (30 metre) buffer zone in order to ensure the visual values of the setting are protected alongside environmental values.



In response to the World Heritage Committee’s recommendation, Parks Canada committed to undertaking an assessment of the visual character of the Canal Corridor; this commitment resulted in the formation of the Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy (the Strategy), a collaborative working relationship comprising representatives from First Nations, federal and provincial agencies and municipalities working together for responsible planning and management along the Rideau Corridor.



The Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy comprises a Steering Committee, a Planners Technical Advisory Group and a Secretary, provided by Parks Canada.



Since 2009, countless presentations have been given about the RCLS, including to Canadian Commission to UNESCO, 2010, 2012 and 2013 World Canals Conferences, Acadia University, Ontario Professional Planners Institute, Ontario Heritage Planners Forum, TSW Planners Forum, Heritage Ottawa, local and regional special interest groups and associations, such as the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association, Friends of the Rideau, Rideau Roundtable, and to provincial and municipal staff and councils.

Progress to Date 2009 – Engaging Others 

Multiple meetings and forums with federal, provincial and municipal governments, conservation authorities, Aboriginal communities and other partners, stakeholders and broad members of the public to discuss Rideau Corridor values, opportunities and challenges

Report on Protection of Frontenac County Watershed from Pipeline Spills by the Sustainability Advisory Committee Preamble. This report, prepared by Dr. Barrie Gilbert, represents the consensus of the SAC and is consistent with similar assessments and conclusions of Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, the Council of the United Councils of Leeds and Grenville (20 Feb. 2014) and the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority, whose report by Rob McRae (Watershed Planning Coordinator) stated: “The CRCA has interests in the proposal as a landowner and watershed manager / regulatory agency. Of particular concern are the potential negative impacts of leaks and spills along the pipeline, which could measure in the millions of litres (according to calculations by Enbridge).” This document presents factual information and assessments prepared for the Frontenac County Sustainability Advisory Committee for recommendation to County Council regarding risks from toxic release to culinary wells and surface water downstream of pipeline Line 9B. This pipeline is a 38 years old, passing through the former Kingston Township and upstream of the Cataraqui River, St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. The line crosses Mac Johnson Wildlife Area, Millhaven Creek, Eden Gove, and Mable (CRCA Conservation areas). The threats to water supplies and risks to Canadians may be categorized at three landscape scales and political boundaries: (a) local/municipal (b) regional/provincial and (c) national. This review and recommendations is restricted to the local/municipal level. It does not address issues of alternative modes of transporting diluted bitumen (dilbit) such as the TransCanada Energy East pipeline proposal, rail transport, lake shipping, all of which have important global climate implications for all Canadians but are outside the purview of this analysis. The following facts are relevant to the potential risks surrounding the Enbridge Corp. proposal to reverse the direction and increase the temperature and pressure of flow of Line 9B to permit diluted bitumen (dilbit) from Alberta Tar Sands and the Bakken Shale deposits to flow east through southern Ontario. A break in this pipe in the Rideau River watershed crossing poses a threat to Wolfe Island and others of the Thousand Islands.

1. The limestone bedrock underlying Kingston and much of Frontenac County is fractured. Thus any substantial volume of liquid material spilled on the ground will seep broadly and deeply into the groundwater from which tens of thousands of people draw their water. Recently the municipal mayors listened to a presentation on the consequences for water supplies of a fully-fueled jet aircraft crashing in this region. The

disaster expert predicted that people in a 20 km. radius of the crash would be unable to drink water from their wells because of fuel contamination. 2. Enbridge Inc. has received permission from the NEB to reverse the flow of a 38-year-old pipeline, one designed for lighter petroleum products. The company has included in the request as well an increase the pressure and temperature of the new dilbit product to be pumped from Sarnia to Montreal. This old line crosses the Rideau River at Kingston Mills on the Rideau Canal. The section of pipe between Gananoque and Trenton is reported to have more pipe defects and subject to rupture than other sections of the line. 3. Enbridge Corp has a long history of ruptures, spills, leaks (Toronto Star: see Appendix 1) showing 34 in 2001 up to 103 in 2009, an increase that suggest little or no better capability of the company to prevent spills. Documentation of the most costly terrestrial spill in North America on the Kalamazoo River involved 9 million litres of heavy oil (dilbit). The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board reported: “Despite multiple alarms and a loss of pressure in the pipeline, for more than 17 hours and through three shifts they failed to follow their own shutdown procedures”. It was not Enbridge employees that found the rupture and massive toxic spill but a local gas company investigating reports of suffocating fumes. 4. Enbridge Inc. was investigated by the NTSB and found to have “a culture of deviance” and “organizational failures” (Appendix II). The response capability of Enbridge has been reported as “totally inadequate” following the Kalamazoo spill, during which the responsible operators in Edmonton failed to interpret the warning signals received and continued to restart the pipeline flow causing additional flow of oil out of the 6-8 foot rupture. 5. In the event of a spill there is no response unit in this part of Ontario. Even if a swift detection and response to a rupture and spill were available the water supply is still at risk. Further there is little public recognition that a “clean-up” is not possible. Less than 8 % of the Exxon Valdez spill was collected: crude oil can still be detected on the Katmai coast of Alaska. A spill of dilbit in Frontenac County would sink in creeks, streams and rivers making it next to impossible to recover as this material sinks in fresh water. 6. Ontarians would be assuming most of the risk of a spill of dilbit going to Montreal and exported offshore. Some argue that there are no jobs for Ontarians with this reversal, only the damage is borne by citizens here. 7. Policy makers in Canada point out the Alberta bitumen has other methods of transport to ocean ports. These include the controversial Gateway Pipeline project to Kitimat BC, TransCanada’s Energy East proposal for a pipeline to the east coast. Current rail shipments are surpassing 500% of traditional volume to Montreal and USA. There is also the Keystone Pipeline project proposed to link pipelines to Gulf Coast ports.

Appenix II Press Release of National Transportation Safety Board.

Pipeline Rupture and Oil Spill Accident Caused by Organizational Failures and Weak Regulations July 10, 2012 WASHINGTON - Pervasive organizational failures by a pipeline operator along with weak federal regulations led to a pipeline rupture and subsequent oil spill in 2010, the National Transportation Safety Board said today. On Sunday, July 25, 2010, at about 5:58 p.m., a 30 inch-diameter pipeline (Line 6B) owned and operated by Enbridge Incorporated ruptured and spilled crude oil into an ecologically sensitive area near the Kalamazoo River in Marshall, Mich., for 17 hours until a local utility worker discovered the oil and contacted Enbridge to report the rupture. The NTSB found that the material failure of the pipeline was the result of multiple small corrosionfatigue cracks that over time grew in size and linked together, creating a gaping breach in the pipe measuring over 80 inches long. “This investigation identified a complete breakdown of safety at Enbridge. Their employees performed like Keystone Kops and failed to recognize their pipeline had ruptured and continued to pump crude into the environment,” said NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman. “Despite multiple alarms and a loss of pressure in the pipeline, for more than 17 hours and through three shifts they failed to follow their own shutdown procedures.” Clean up costs are estimated by Enbridge and the EPA at $800 million and counting, making the Marshall rupture the single most expensive on-shore spill in US history. Over 840,000 gallons of crude oil - enough to fill 120 tanker trucks - spilled into hundreds of acres of Michigan wetlands, fouling a creek and a river. A Michigan Department of Community Health study concluded that over 300 individuals suffered adverse health effects related to benzene exposure, a toxic component of crude oil. Line 6B had been scheduled for a routine shutdown at the time of the rupture to accommodate changing delivery schedules. Following the shutdown, operators in the Enbridge control room in Edmonton, Alberta, received multiple alarms indicating a problem with low pressure in the pipeline, which were dismissed as being caused by factors other than a rupture. “Inadequate training of control center personnel” was cited as contributing to the accident. The investigation found that Enbridge failed to accurately assess the structural integrity of the pipeline, including correctly analyzing cracks that required repair. The NTSB characterized Enbridge’s control room operations, leak detection, and environmental response as deficient, and described the event as an “organizational accident.” Following the first alarm, Enbridge controllers restarted Line 6B twice, pumping an additional 683,000 gallons of crude oil, or 81 percent of the total amount spilled, through the ruptured pipeline. The NTSB determined that if Enbridge’s own procedures had been followed during the initial phases of the accident, the magnitude of the spill would have been significantly reduced. Further, the NTSB attributed systemic flaws in operational decision-making to a “culture of deviance,” which concluded that personnel had a developed an operating culture in which not adhering to approved procedures and protocols was normalized. The NTSB also cited the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration’s weak regulations regarding pipeline assessment and repair criteria as well as a cursory review of Enbridge’s oil spill response plan as contributing to the magnitude of the accident. The investigation revealed that the cracks in Line 6B that ultimately ruptured were detected by Enbridge in 2005 but were not repaired. A further examination of records revealed that Enbridge’s crack assessment process was inadequate, increasing the risk of a rupture. “This accident is a wake-up call to the industry, the regulator, and the public. Enbridge knew for years that this section of the pipeline was vulnerable yet they didn’t act on that information,” said Chairman Hersman. “Likewise, for the regulator to delegate too much authority to the regulated to assess their own system risks and correct them is tantamount to the fox guarding the hen house. Regulators need regulations and practices with teeth, and the resources to enable them to take corrective action before a spill. Not just after.”

As a result of the investigation, the NTSB reiterated one recommendation to PHMSA and issued 19 new safety recommendations to the Department of the Transportation, PHMSA, Enbridge Incorporated, the American Petroleum Institute, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, and the National Emergency Number Association. A synopsis of the NTSB report, including the probable cause, findings, and a complete list of the safety recommendations, is available at http://go.usa.gov/wsO. The full report will be available on the website in several weeks.

Re:

Sustainability Advisory Committee – Report to Council

The Sustainability Advisory Committee at its meeting held August 11, 2014 passed the following motion: THAT The SAC recommends the Council of the County of Frontenac send a letter – based on the report prepared by Dr. Gilbert and staff and vetted by the SAC – to the National Energy Board, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Transportation, local MPs and MPPs regarding the County’s concerns about the proposed Enbridge Line 9 Reversal. As part of the discussion, staff were requested to work with Mr. Gilbert to prepare a draft letter for County Council’s consideration at its September meeting. As a result, the following recommendation is being presented for Council’s consideration: Recommendation: WHEREAS the County of Frontenac is in close proximity to a section of Enbridge Line 9B reported to have more defects and subject to rupture than other sections of pipe; AND WHEREAS the proposed Enbridge Line 9B reversal includes not only reversing the flow of material through the pipeline, but also increasing the pressure, temperature and transporting different – and potentially more corrosive – materials through the pipeline; AND WHEREAS fractured bedrock underlies much of the Frontenac region, which would cause a spill of any substantial volume of liquid material to permeate the groundwater and deprive tens of thousands of people of the fresh water they rely on every day;

Sustainability Advisory Committee Report to County Council

AgendaItem#13b)

AND WHEREAS Enbridge’s long history of ruptures, spills, and leaks, which increased to 103 in 2009 from 34 in 2001, lead to an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board which reported that “despite multiple alarms and a loss of pressure in the pipeline, for more than 17 hours and through three shifts they failed to follow their own shutdown procedure” and concluded that Enbridge has “a culture of deviance” and “organizational failures”; AND WHEREAS there is no response unit in this part of Ontario, and considering the fact that less than 8% of the Exxon Valdez spill was actually collected, and given that dilbit sinks in fresh water, the possibility that a leak or spill effectively being “cleaned up” in the Frontenacs is next to, if not altogether impossible; AND WHEREAS a break in this pipe in the Rideau River watershed crossing poses a threat to portions of the Frontenacs and others of the Thousand Islands; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Council of the County of Frontenac send a letter to the National Energy Board; Ministry of the Environment; Ministry of Transportation; Sophie Kiwala, M.P.P. Kingston and the Islands; Randy Hillier, M.P.P. Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington; Ted Hsu, M.P. Kingston and the Islands; and Scott Ried, M.P. Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington regarding the County of Frontenac’s concerns about the proposed Enbridge Line 9B Reversal.

County of Frontenac Trails Concept Plan

1.0 Introduction and Executive Summary The County of Frontenac is committed to developing and implementing County-wide trails. This Trails Concept Plan sets out a short-term and long-term strategy to create a supportive pedestrian, cycling, and all-season environment that will encourage recreational and utilitarian travel by walking, cycling, and select motorized use that promotes the importance of active lifestyles for residents and tourists. A system of integrated and connected on-road and off-road facilities can help define a county as a great place to live, work, and play – and that supports improvement to community health, safety, economy, transportation and tourism. In order to facilitate the further development and implementation of the Trails Concept Plan. Potential funding opportunities are highlighted with unit prices for the various facilities types. An estimated $9.2M in capital improvements are identified; $3.6M in off-road facilities and $5.6M in on-road facilities. It is increasingly important that well-planned and well-designed trails and trail connections form part of a County and local municipal transportation strategy. This plan will assist the County and local municipalities in planning for, implementing, prioritizing, and financing trail related infrastructure improvements. The ongoing commitment of the County to the development of the K+P Trail as a major component of the County’s off-road trail network is a key initiative and contributor to the core intent of this plan and its benefits. This plan is important to County-wide and local strategic interests - to foster healthy and sustainable communities that benefit residents, local economy, and the environment. An equally important attribute of this plan is the promotion of on-road and off-road trails for all seasons and all segments of the County – North, Central, South, and the Islands. Education and promotion of active and recreational transportation opportunities includes encouragement initiatives to raise awareness of the numerous benefits of trails to bring about a ‘cultural shift’ in the way residents and visitors navigate the County of Frontenac.

2.0 Existing Context 2.1 Background Documents The 2009 County of Frontenac Trails Master Plan and the 2009 County of Frontenac K&P Trail Implementation Plan are two (2) key background documents which establish the importance of a trail system and the appropriate steps to take through to implementation. These documents are used as a foundation to the Trails Concept Plan, summarized below.

2.1.1 County of Frontenac Trails Master Plan The Frontenac Trails Master Plan summarizes the history and landscape of the County of Frontenac as well as the health, economic and environmental benefits associated with recreational trails. It provides context to the pursuit of trail development by highlighting similar trends at the municipal, provincial and national levels and by discussing the relationships between trails and the tenets of sustainability. It offers a resource inventory of existing trails in the County as well as trail organizations and stakeholder groups. It sets out recommendations for the management structure, policies of trail providers, and general guidelines for trail design and signage. Phasing strategies for trail development are laid out and maintenance guidelines established. Funding and promotional opportunities are offered with implementation strategies.

2.1.2 County of Frontenac K&P Trail Implementation Plan The Frontenac K&P Trail Implementation Plan prioritizes projects into a phasing schedule - to identify capital costs associated with each phase, and to identify annual operating and maintenance costs of each respective plan. The trail is open for use upon completion of each phase once compliance to safety issues is satisfied. The phasing place outlines a systematic and organized fashion as financial resources are available.

This plan aims to supplement the successful work completed to date and to guide future trail development initiatives for both on-road and off-road facilities county-wide.

2.2 Existing Trail Network Before proposing new routes or connections to the network, an inventory of the existing network needs to be completed. This was a crucial first step of this plan in order to understand what types of facilities currently exist in the County, objectively and regardless of municipal or county jurisdiction.

County staff provided the study team with all available GIS information, including: 

Existing Road Network;



Property Parcel information;



Water bodies, Streams and Wetlands;



Provincial Parks;



Major Attractions;



Hamlets; and



Existing Trail information

Using this available digital information, and by combining it with other available maps and information, the study team developed a ‘signal set’ of existing network maps. A total of seven existing maps are included herein. Refer to ‘Map’ appendices. Map 1 highlights the entire county, Maps 2 - 5 highlight one of each of the four (4) townships (North, Central, South, the Islands). Map 6 shows the existing hiking trails and Map 7 shows the existing Snowmobile Trails in the County of Frontenac.

2.2.1 Trail Initiatives within Frontenac County The Trails Advisory Committee (TAC) was established in 2011 to oversee the implementation of the Frontenac K&P Trails as well as to provide input and suggestions regarding other trail initiatives through the county. The leadership of this committee is recognized as critical to the on-going establishment and development of this plan and to an effective county-wide network of trails. Phase 1 of the K&P Trail, running from the City of Kingston/County of Frontenac boundary at Orser Road to Boyce Road in Hartington, was officially opened in August of 2012. Phase 2 saw the trail extended from Hartington to the Highway 38 just north of Verona. The majority of the work was completed in the fall of 2013. Phase 2 was recently opened to the public in the summer of 2014 as was the award of the tender for Phase 3 (from Highway 38 north of Verona to Godfrey).

2.2.2 Trail Initiatives in Surrounding Counties Understanding what the surrounding counties have in terms of existing trail network and initiatives is of key interest to the County of Frontenac. Trail connections can be made to these surrounding networks which serve to improve the connectivity of both networks and can have an impact on tourism in both counties. The study team has researched the surrounding communities in order to gain insight into their trail network and any initiative which would be beneficial to the County of Frontenac.

County of Lennox and Addington The County of Lennox and Addington has a 600km trail network which consists of 12 looping routes. These paved roadway routes are designed so that you never have to retrace your path, yet are able to end where you began. The routes are found on well-maintained county and select local roadways. The trails vary in difficulty but all are well-marked, easily accessible, and promise to be exciting.

Lanark County In Lanark County there are plenty of towns, villages, hamlets, parks and conservation areas to explore. Perth, Smith Falls and Mississippi Mills are just a few of the towns who have significantly invested in an extensive trail network with routes that are suitable for all skill levels. These trails range from short 15km loops to ones which are over 100km in length.

Leeds and Grenville County Leeds Grenville has over 800km of well-maintained roads which offer some of the best scenery in Ontario. There are dozens of intricate off-road trails which are used by hikers, ATV enthusiasts, and cyclists alike.

2.2.3 Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) The OFSC is a volunteer led not-for-profit association. Through strong leadership, the OFSC provides a wide range of quality programs and services to and on behalf of its membership organizations. The OFSC is represented in eastern Ontario by the District 1 Snowmobile Association. Member Clubs in the County of Frontenac include the K&P Snow Trails Association, Sharbot Lake Snowriders Club and Lennox and Addington (L&A) Ridgerunners Snowmobile Club. The local OFSC clubs are active users of the trail system in Frontenac County and have established numerous other trails throughout the County as was seen in Map 7. The local snowmobile clubs are also responsible for performing winter maintenance on trails which are used in the winter months.

3.0 Consultation Strategy 3.1 Public Open House On May 26, 2014, a Public Open House was held at the Lion’s Club in Verona to display work to date and to receive critical input from the community. At this open house the consultants were present to provide an introduction to the project, make a formal presentation on the work completed to date and lead a workshop. Progress material was displayed on boards during the event and attendees were encouraged to provide their feedback on the boards. The event was attended by more than 25 people including representatives from the County of Frontenac and TAC. Figure 1: May 2014 Public Information Centre

3.2 Summary of Stakeholder Input Attendees at the Open House were knowledgeable and provided the project team with a number of valuable and insightful comments regarding the current state of trails in Frontenac County, on their experiences using the trails in Frontenac County, and what they envision for trails in Frontenac County in the future. Below a few comments and themes are highlighted. A complete summary of stakeholder input and copy of presentation materials can be found in Appendix A.



It was noted that the progress made developing the K&P Trail to date, but stressed that they wanted to make sure that the completion of the trail with the potential to Calabogie was seen as a priority - This “rails to trails” opportunity is a ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity that the county should not pass up.



There was a noted perceived need for more local and accessible starting points (trailheads) including space for snowmobile trailers and parking. It was noted that many snowmobilers are leaving the area to ride elsewhere due to the local access restrictions.



Some discussion was had about the definition of a trail. It was felt that there was the need for greater education of the various types of trails and the associated design standards.



It was generally noted that a plan needs to be developed to ensure that once the K&P is complete the next group of trail projects has been determined at that the progress and momentum realized through the development of the K&P Trail can be carried over to this next group of projects.

Where/if appropriate, in lieu of paved shoulder adjacent to the travel lane, network connection can also be achieved by a separated facility – i.e. with a ‘Multi-Use Pathway’ within available right-of-way where spatial provision and existing infrastructure geometry permits.

Signed bicycle routes with paved shoulders should typically have shoulders between 1.5 and 2.0m in width depending on the volume, speed and mix of vehicular traffic.

►

As motor vehicle volumes increase, practitioners may consider wider paved shoulders or a buffered zone between the shoulder and travel lane.

►

A paved shoulder is a portion of a roadway which is contiguous with the travelled way and provides lateral support for the pavement structure Thea area can be used by cyclist and provides them with an area of riding that is separate from the motor vehicular travel portion of the roadway

There often have evolved from use (i.e. a desire line between two locations) or have been created by a group such as a hiking club that has an established agreements with the land owner

Typically 0.75m to 1.5m in width with a natural earth surface. May include a granular surface or a boardwalk in areas where trail hardening is needed

4.2 Benefits of Trails There is clear evidence of the growing demand for facilities that support active forms of transportation and recreations, including an overall increase in active and sustainable living. In order to live these lifestyles, facilities that support active and sustainable modes of transportation need to be integrated into a person’s day to day activity for recreational and utilitarian purposes.

The demand to develop and adopt more sustainable land use and mobility strategies is increased. The development of infrastructure, policies and promotional strategies which respond to this growing demand for trail-related facilities can yield a number of benefits.

The benefits of active and sustainable transportation and recreation can include but are not limited to Environment, Health, Economy / Tourism, Housing, Education, Public Space, Community (Health & Safety) and Transportation. Table 6 provides a summary of the benefits which are directly and indirectly impacted as a result of investment in active and sustainable transportation.



Economic & Tourism



Active forms of transportation are both energy efficient and non polluting. When used, active modes of transportation conserve natural resources and provide large energy savings for the user as well as the community. By investing in active transportation or trail development, a community provides its residents with more opportunities for physical activity and improved air quality through reduced emissions. With more opportunities to be physically active, people are more likely to improve their quality of life by lead healthy and active lifestyles and reduce their risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. By increasing investment in trail and active transportation facilities, residents and visitors are provided with more mode choices. With an increase in the number of modal choices residents and visitors may feel less dependent on their single occupant vehicles. Increased investment and use of AT infrastructure can provide a means of appreciating and assisting in the protection of natural and cultural heritage resources. Similar to the transportation benefits, by decreasing the number of people on the road, communities may be able to increase the lifespan of their community assets. By engaging members of the community in the design and development of AT related infrastructure (including trails), it can bring together community residents. When residents become passionate and committed to an initiative there can be an increase in community spirit. When the design standard increases for community facilities it can, in some cases, spur on stewardship from local groups or engaged individuals. Increased investment in cycling and trail infrastructure can increase local tourism and investment. Cyclists are more willing to spend time and money in communities which clearly support cycling. As routes and infrastructure are developed there is also an increasing demand for supportive amenities. Communities may wish to invest in a local bike shop or tourism booth to promote cycling routes. In these cases, there are job opportunities and increased local investment which may occur.

4.3 Trails Standards 4.3.1 Universal Trail Design The Accessibility for Ontarions with Disabilities (AODA) Act administers accessibility policies, standards and guidelines relevant to trails and recreational facilities. Approximately one in eight Canadians suffer from some type of physical disability, however this increases with age. The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) states that “The people of Ontario support the right of persons of all ages with disabilities to enjoy equal opportunity and to participate fully in the life of the province”. Within the AODA, Bills 118 and proposed Bill 125 recognize the need to provide for accessibility standards, improve opportunities and facilitate the removal of barriers in order to enable persons with disabilities to fully participate in the life of the Province (Canada. Province of Ontario. Ministry of Community and Social Services. Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. By Ministry of Community and Social Services. Spring 2010.)

Universal Trail Design is a concept that takes into consideration the abilities, needs, and interests of the widest range of possible users. In regards to trail design, it means planning and developing a range of facilities that can be experienced by a variety of users of all abilities. The County should consider the latest standards outlined in the AODA for all relevant trail developments.

4.3.2 Wheelchair and Electric Scooter Users Trail users who rely upon wheelchairs (both motorized and non-motorized) and electric scooters have varying levels of mobility. Some use wheelchairs occasionally due to injury, however, others due to permanent paralysis and other medical conditions require the use of these devices on a full time basis. The ability of a wheelchair or scooter user to negotiate a trail will depend upon the type of trail and the type of wheelchair or scooter. Where trails are developed to be accessible to all users, there will be a need to obtain input from these users to determine the type of trail surface and width required. ‘All-terrain’ wheelchairs exist to promote potential use of non-universally accessible (hiking) trails. Such wheelchairs could be made available at a central County of Frontenac public facility or other trail head locations for use by individuals who require a wheelchair or scooter to travel around but would like to experience some of the non-universally accessible trails in the County.

16 16

Trails Advisory Committee Report to Council

Page 125 of 269

AgendaItem#13f) County of Frontenac Trails Concept Plan September 2014 | MMM Group Limited | Final Draft

The principles of universal trail design can be summarized as follows: 

Equitable use: provide opportunity for trail users to access, share and experience the same sections of trail rather than providing separate facilities;



Flexibility in use: provide different options for trail users in order to accommodate a variety of experiences and allow choice;



Simple, intuitive and perceptible information: whether conveying trail information through signage, maps or a web site, communicate using simple, straightforward forms and formats with easy to understand graphics and/or text;



Tolerance for error: design trails and information systems so as to minimize exposure to hazards, and indicate to users any potential risks or challenges that may be encountered;



Low physical effort: trails may provide for challenge but should not exceed the abilities of the intended users; where appropriate, rest areas should be provided; and



Size and space for approach and use: trails and amenities should provide for easy access, comfort and ease in their usage.

Where possible and practical, trails should be designed to be accessible to a wide range of users at all levels of ability. It must be recognized, however, that not all trails throughout the system can be fully accessible, though the use of all-terrain wheelchairs may increase accessibility to the trail network. Designing trails to be within the threshold (5%) for universal access will not only overcome this significant barrier but it will help to reduce the potential for erosion of the trail surface. The following are some additional considerations for making existing and new trails accessible: 

Designers should consult the most current standards available;



Where the trail requires an accessibility solution that is above and beyond what is normally encountered, a representative of the County of Frontenac Trails Advisory Committee (TAC) and relevant Accessibility Advisory/Committee should be consulted early on in the process to determine if it is practical and desirable to design the specific trail to be fully accessible;



Where it has been determined that full accessibility is appropriate, the accessibility representative should be consulted during the detailed design process to ensure that the design is appropriate; and



Work collaboratively with the County of Frontenac Trails Advisory Committee (TAC) and relevant Accessibility Advisory/Committee to consider developing signage/content to clearly indicate trail accessibility conditions, which allow users with mobility-assisted devices to make an informed decision about using a particular trail prior to travelling on it.

4.3.3 Personal Security and Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) To the extent possible, trails should be designed to allow users to feel comfortable, safe, and secure. Although personal safety can be an issue for all, women, the elderly and children, are among the most vulnerable groups. Principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) should be considered and applied to help address security issues concerning trail use, particularly in locations where trails are infrequently used, isolated or in areas where security problems have occurred in the past. The four main underlying principles of CPTED are: 

Natural Access Control: deters access to a target and creates a perception of risk to the offender;



Natural Surveillance: the placement of physical features and/or activities that provides for natural visibility or observation;



Territorial Reinforcement: defines clear borders of controlled space from public to semiprivate to private, so that users of an area develop a sense of proprietorship over it; and



Maintenance: allows for the continued use of space for its intended purpose1.

Specifically related to trails, the following CPTED-related design criteria include:

1



Good visibility by having routes pass through well-used public spaces;



Have good signage that tells users where they are along the trail system, in order to obtain help;



Provide “escape” routes from isolated areas at regular intervals;



Maintain sight lines and sight distances that are appropriately open to allow good visibility by users;



Provide trailhead parking in highly visible areas;



Minimize routing close to features that create hiding places such as stairwells, and dense shrubs;



Design underpasses and bridges so that users can see to the end and beyond; and



Use signs near entrances to identify and suggest alternative routes.

4.3.4 Trail Maintenance and Operations Operations costs include on-going funding related to implementing the Trails Concept Plan, preparing the annual progress report, delivering safety, educational outreach and promotional programs, and performing network and infrastructure maintenance to achieve a state of good repair and to ensure all season use. This also includes staff resources, as well as management and administration. The incremental cost to maintain trails is relatively low. Generally speaking, most municipal agencies/Counties adjust maintenance budgets based on the number of kilometres of each facility and increase maintenance budgets relative to the length of new infrastructure added on an annual basis. Maintenance of mature off-road multi-use trails, particularly in greenways and parks can cost from $4,000 to $6,000 per linear kilometre of trail (3.5 m wide), depending on the level of service standard of a municipality. Annual maintenance can include drainage and storm channel maintenance, sweeping, clearing of debris, trash removal, weed control and vegetation management, mowing of grass along shoulders, minor surface repairs, repairs to trail fixtures (benches, signs) and other general repairs. Costs also can vary depending on whether the trail is in a road boulevard or in a linear greenway or park and whether it is paved or has a granular surface. New asphalt off-road trails also typically have lower maintenance costs in the first 10 years. An absolute dollar value for maintenance costs is not calculated for the concept trails network as the budget for maintenance will need to grow in an incremental fashion along with the incremental growth of the trails network. As each new network segment is added (either in boulevard on-road or off-road), the impact to the operations budget should be calculated by the County in working with Municipal staff so that it can be added into the annual maintenance budget request. Many jurisdictions have formalized programs to plan and construct trail systems, however the number that have formal programs for trail maintenance is lower. Telephone interviews conducted in 2004 with approximately a dozen southern Ontario municipalities highlight some overall scope of trail maintenance considerations and significant issues raised by municipalities/counties across Ontario: 

Very few maintain their trails in winter. Of those that do, none reported maintaining all of their trails in winter. Generally winter maintained trails included only asphalt trails and those that are heavily used, or are main connections serving utilitarian purposes such as connections to schools and main bicycle/pedestrian commuter routes;



Several reported having defined maintenance standards for trails, based on trail-type. Many of those that did not currently have standards reported that they were working towards them;



Most have a call in/hot line for areas requiring emergency repairs, or areas where garbage containers are heavily used. None of the hot lines were trail specific, most often they were included with a parks or even municipal-wide hotline for parks, roads, infrastructure etc.;

19

Trails Advisory Committee Report to Council

AgendaItem#13f)



In most cases, respondents felt that they could do a better job at trail maintenance, but were limited by resources (staff resources/budget and time);



Most reported conducting an annual safety audit, in most cases this was included as part of their annual safety and security audit for parks, playgrounds and recreation facilities;



Many noted that proactive or preventative maintenance, especially with regard to trail surface condition, signing, trash and vandalism was a key success factor;



Most use trail patrols or supervisors to conduct a regular (i.e., as often as weekly) review to assess conditions, prioritize maintenance tasks and monitor known problem areas;

Some use maintenance logbooks to set out a schedule of tasks, priorities, standards to be achieved and method of tracking that the work has been completed. This method of tracking was also noted as useful for being able to predict which locations would require the highest level of maintenance; 

In most cases, parks crews performed trail maintenance as part of their regular park maintenance role. Where extensive maintenance programs were reported, additional seasonal labour was added to the workforce (often summer students). Volunteer “adopta-trail” programs were also identified as useful for basic trail cleanup and monitoring;



Trail maintenance is generally handled under Parks Operations budgets, sometimes tracked as a separate trail maintenance budget, but most often grouped in with other parks maintenance budgets;



Trail maintenance costs range depending on the type of trail and location. Costs to maintain highly urbanized trails ranged from $4000-$6000/km per year, whereas costs to maintain rural trails (including rail trails) were significantly lower, ranging from less than $100/km year to $350/km per year. Tasks covered as part of these estimates included maintenance of trail drainage, storm channel and culvert maintenance, grading and minor topping up of trail surfaces, minor pothole repair, sweeping and clearing of debris, trash removal, mowing of clear zones, minor surface repairs and repairs to trail fixtures/furnishings;



Many respondents reported that asphalt surfaces on trails have a life span of approximately 15-20 years, and trails that were installed in 1980’s and earlier now require reconstruction, and in the process are generally being widened to meet higher levels of use/demand experienced today. Wider trails are also better for preventing damage to trail edges by municipal service vehicles, as vehicle wheels are less likely to roll over and break trail edges and less likely to create ruts in the soil beside the trail;



Trails that were properly constructed at initial installation had the fewest maintenance issues. Proper subgrade excavation, adequate base and proper drainage were noted as keys to trail longevity;



Many reported that erosion is a big challenge and that “trail hardening” with asphalt on sloped trails is the best way to prevent further erosion. Some reported trying other soil

binding compounds for trails on slopes and reported only moderate success with these alternative materials; 

Mowing grass along edges of trails is performed on a regular basis. Depending on trail location this may be weekly, biweekly, monthly or infrequently throughout the growing season. The width of the mown swath generally varies from 0.5m to 2.0m depending on the municipality and location. Mowing helps to keep clear zone open and can also help with the invasion of weeds into granular trail surfaces;



Several have trained their mower operators to be more observant while mowing and to take note of problem areas along the trails;



Garbage pickup is performed on a regular basis (i.e., 10 day cycle), with receptacles located at the ends of trail segments where they can be easily accessed by service vehicles;



Tasks performed on a seasonal basis include culvert cleanout and pruning to maintain trail clear zones;



Grading/grooming the surface of granular trails is generally performed once per year or as required after heavy storm events in areas prone to erosion;



Tasks performed every 3 to 5 years cycle include refurbishment of signs, cleaning and refurbishment site furnishings;



Tasks performed on an as-required basis include moving or marking obvious hazards within 24 hours of their identification, inspection/monitoring of trail areas prone to damage following heavy storms, repairs to vandalized items, minor repairs to structural elements such as bridges, trail surfaces, railings, benches, gates and signs; and



Major renovation or replacement of large items such as bridges, kiosks, gates, parking lots, and asphalt trail surfaces was generally described as a 10-20 year replacement item.



Maintenance programming should consider where/if equestrian uses are proposed and plan for maintenance accordingly, including program of grooming and education and design to accommodate equestrian use.

4.3.5 Winter Maintenance of Off-Road Trails Few counties/municipalities in Ontario maintain their off-road trails during winter months. For those municipalities that do offer winter maintenance services on trails, only certain routes are maintained and these tend to be primary routes that serve a commuter function to key destinations such as schools and community centers. The following are some general initiatives that are being used in other jurisdictions to identify candidates for winter trail maintenance and to develop priorities among those candidate routes.

a) Trail Function and Location

21

Trails Advisory Committee Report to Council

Page 130 of 269

AgendaItem#13f)



The trail’s role in the overall transportation network and community connectivity (primary vs. secondary function);



The trail does not provide an alternate route to a nearby sidewalk or trail that is already being maintained in winter;



Determine if the trail is integral to the overall network such that it provides a primary route to schools, public facilities such as recreational centers and to other pedestrian generators such as senior’s homes, shopping and commercial establishments;



The trail is not merely a convenient short cut. If the trail is not available for winter use, the length of the detour required should be explored further. Although these should be explored further on a case-by-case individual basis, 500m could be used as a threshold guideline;



The trail connects dead end streets or cul-de-sacs where alternative routes do not exist;



Consideration is given to neighbouring land use(s) and how this relates to pedestrian origins, destinations and pedestrian generators; and



Consideration is given to trails that have historically received winter maintenance, but winter maintenance has not been formally adopted.

b) A Trail Design and Condition 

The trail should be constructed to a minimum standard including: o

Adequate surface drainage to prevent ponding of water on the trail surface;

o

Minimum width (e.g., no less than 3.0m) and there is adequate access for maintenance equipment;

o

The trail has an asphalt surface (this factor may not apply if a snowblower is used instead of a plow); and

o

There should be no danger adjacent to the trail, such as a steep drop off that could be a hazard for equipment operators.

4.3.6 Trail Maintenance Planning This section describes a potential trail maintenance program for County of Frontenac. The general objectives of a trail monitoring and maintenance plan are to: 

Provide safe, dependable and affordable levels of service;



Preserve infrastructure assets;



Protect the natural environment;



Enhance the appearance and health of the community;



Provide a reference framework against which to measure performance;



Provide the basis of a peer review that is comparable with other municipalities; and

22 22

Trails Advisory Committee Report to Council

Page 131 of 269

AgendaItem#13f) County of Frontenac Trails Concept Plan September 2014 | MMM Group Limited | Final Draft



Provide citizens and Council with a reference for expectations.

The first step in implementing a maintenance and management program is to determine its scope. Trail plans, maps, inventories, trail logs, traffic count information and condition surveys are all valuable sources of information for developing maintenance management systems. Table 7 outlines typical trail maintenance activities that the County should include as part of the development of a trail maintenance program that is tailored to suit the County’s needs. The maintenance plan below applies to trail corridors that are under the jurisdiction of the municipality. The trails that are owned or operated by other agencies or private interests are not required to adhere to this plan, but could take these guidelines under advisement. Tasks have been grouped according to the frequency with which they would typically be performed: 

Immediately (within 24 to 48 hours);



Regularly (weekly/biweekly/monthly);



Seasonally;



Annually;



Every 3 to 5 years; and



Every 10 to 20 years.

As a minimum, mark, barricade and sign the subject area to warn trail users, or close the trail completely until the problem can be corrected. Remove vegetation and/or windfalls, downed branches, etc., where traffic flow on the trail is being impaired or the obstruction is resulting in a sight line issue. Remove hazard trees that have been identified. Repair or replace items that have been vandalized or stolen/removed. This is especially important for regulatory signs that provide important information about trail hazards such as road crossings, steep grades, and sharp curves. Removal of trash in overflowing containers or material that has been illegally dumped. Repair of obstructed drainage systems causing flooding that poses a hazard to trail users or that is resulting in deterioration that poses an immediate safety hazard. Monitor trail areas and structures that are prone to erosion after severe summer storms and repair as required. Repairs to structural elements on bridges such as beams, railings, access barriers and signs. Trail patrols/inspections should review the trail conditions (as often as weekly in high-use areas), to assess conditions and prioritize maintenance tasks and monitor known problem areas. Mow grass along edges of trails (in open settings only). Depending on trial location this may be done weekly, biweekly, or monthly and the width can vary according to the location (typically 0.5 to 1.0m). This helps to keep the clear zone open and can slow the invasion of weeds into granular trail surfaces. Not all trails will have mown edges. In woodland and wetland areas, pruning and brushing is typically the only vegetation maintenance to be undertaken. Regular garbage pickup (10 day cycle or more frequent for heavily used areas). Restock trailhead information kiosks with brochures as needed. Repair within 30 days or less, partially obstructed drainage systems causing intermittent water backups that do not pose an immediate safety hazard, but that if left unchecked over time will adversely affect the integrity of the trail and/or any other trail infrastructure or the surrounding area

Patching/minor repair of trail surfaces and removal of loose rocks from the trail bed. Culvert cleanout where required. Top up approaches to bridges. Planting, landscape rehabilitation, pruning/beautification. Installation/removal of seasonal signage. Conduct an annual safety audit. This task is not necessarily specific to trails and may be included with general annual safety audits for parks, playgrounds and recreation facilities. Evaluate support facilities/trailside amenities to determine repair and/or replacement needs. Examine trail surface to determine the need for patching and grading. Grading/grooming the surface of granular trails, and topping up of wood chip trails. Pruning/vegetation management for straight sections of trail and areas where branches may be encroaching into the clear zone. This task is more of a preventative maintenance procedure. Cuttings may be chipped on site and placed appropriately or used as mulch for new plantings. Remove branches from the site unless they can be used for habitat (i.e. brush piles in a woodlot setting), or used as part of the rehabilitation of closed trails. Where invasive species are being pruned and/or removed, branches and cuttings should be disposed of in an appropriate manner. Inspect and secure all lose side rails, bridge supports decking (ensure any structural repairs meet the original structural design criteria). Aerate soils in severely compacted areas.

Every 3 to 5 years



Cleaning and refurbishment of signs, benches and other trailside amenities.

Every 10 to 20 years

 

Resurface asphalt trails (assume approximately every 15 years). Replace or reconstruct granular trails (assume approximately every 15 years, but this may not be necessary if adjustments/repairs are made on an annual basis). Major renovation or replacement of large items such as bridges, kiosks, gates, parking lots, benches, etc.

4.3.7 Trip End Facilities and Staging Areas Network continuity, connectivity and feasibility are enhanced through the implementation of endof-trip facilities and staging areas. In some cases, amenities can be a factor which enacts an individual to decide whether or not to make a trip using an active mode of transportation. Staging areas can be appropriately designed to reinforce commitment to promoting trails and that may include lighting, sitting / rest areas, parking areas, signage, bicycle parking, loading / unloading areas, garbage receptacles, washroom and amenity buildings and gates / access barriers. In rural areas, staging areas may play a key role in the marketing package for trail use and tourism. If properly implemented and promoted, it may help to reduce the tendency for trail users to park on rural roadsides to access trails. As a guide for future staging area development the County should consider a standardized approach. Figure 2 illustrates a staging area hierarchy and Table 8 provides additional details regarding the amenities which could be included in each of the designs. Maps enclosed depict potential staging (parking/trailhead locations). Figure 2: Staging Area Hierarchy

4.4 Trail Opportunities The input received over the course of the study from the public, steering committee and staff members has led to the development of four (4) strategic trail opportunities in the County. This section provides a description of these opportunities.

4.4.1 Completing and Providing Connection to the “Spine” of Network Trails The K&P Trails forms a “spine” which runs generally north-south. The Cataraqui Trail and the Trans Canada Trail form east-west “spines” through the County. These are critical and major existing components of the County’s trail network – stitching together both on-road an off-road facilities. New trails should provide connection(s) to these spines. Priority should be given to completing the K&P Trail and other Trail initiatives with connections to the “spine” Trails.

4.4.2 Connecting Towns and Villages to Natural Areas Improving trail connections from towns and villages in the County to the Provincial Parks, management areas and other community parks represents a major opportunity for the County. This will increase resident’s access to trails and recreation opportunities.

4.4.3 Connecting to Natural Areas Connecting natural areas to each other within the County and also providing connections to significant natural areas outside the County, such as Algonquin Provincial Park, provide opportunities to boost tourism and allow trail users to experience the many natural amenities in Frontenac County.

4.4.4 Connecting to Towns and Villages Improving trail connections between Towns and Villages in the County to Towns and Villages and the surrounding Counties will increase resident’s access to other population centers and will improve the overall connectivity of the active transportation network.

4.5 Proposed Trail Concept Plan Following the review of background documentation, inventory of the existing active transportation network and gathering of public input through consultation, the project team undertook the exercise, recognizing the above trail opportunities, to identify potential routes which could be added to the existing network. The identified routes include: 

K&P Trail: Complete the K&P Trail to Wilbur in Frontenac County, in collaboration with Lanark County and Renfrew County. The trail should ultimately be connected all the way to Calabogie in the future.



Verona - Frontenac Provincial Park: Connect Verona to Frontenac Provincial Park with a signed route along Desert Lake Road and Bedford Road.



Sharbot Lake - Sharbot Lake Provincial Park: Connect Sharbot Lake to Sharbot Lake Provincial Park via the K&P Trail with a paved shoulder facility on Highway 7.



Tichborne - Mountain Grove: Connect Tichborne to Mountain Grove in relationship to the development of a new route connecting the K&P Trail and the central spine of Frontenac County to Bon Echo Provincial Park with a paved shoulder facility on Highway 38 from Tichborne to Parham. From Parham, a signed route should be implemented along Long Lake Road to Mountain Grove.



Arden - Myers Cave: Connect the K&P Trail from Arden to Myers Cave with signed routes along Henderson Road, Harlow Road and Myers Cave Road.



K&P Trail - Ompah - Plevna: Implemented a signed route along South Lavant Road and County Road 509 from the K&P Trail to Ompah and to Plevna. Part of this route is already in place around Ompah.



Verona - Bellrock: Connect Verona to Bellrock via Bellrock Road with a new paved shoulder and signage. A portion of this segment is already paved with shoulder. The extension of the facility westward into the County of Lennox and Addington should be considered.



Verona - Tichborne - Parham - Bellrock Loop: Use the K&P Trail from Verona to Tichborne as a ‘loop’. The new route from Tichborne to Parham along Highway 38 and the proposed route along Bellrock Road - from the K&P Trail in Verona. Complete the loop along with the development of a signed route from Parham to Bellrock along Raymo Road, Echo Lake Road, Oak Flats Roads, 2 Lake Road, Snider Road and 1 Lake Road. This new route should also provide an on-road connection to the Second Depot Lake conservation area.



Godfrey - Westport: Connect the K&P Trail in Godfrey to Westport via Westport Road with a paved shoulder facility type. The County of Frontenac should consider working with Leeds and Grenville County to ensure the portion of this connection in Leeds and Grenville County is completed.

29

Trails Advisory Committee Report to Council

Page 138 of 269

AgendaItem#13f)



Westport - Kingston: The County of Frontenac should work with Leeds and Grenville County and the City of Kingston to complete a paved shoulder facility along Perth Road between Westport and Kingston through Perth Road and Inverary in the County of Frontenac. Due to space limitations through the community of Inverary a signed route is proposed through the village.



Battersea - Kingston: The County of Frontenac should work with the City of Kingston to extend the existing paved should facility on Battersea Road north into the County travelling though Sunbury and Battersea. Due to space limitations through the community of Battersea, a signed route is proposed through the village.



Inverary - Sunbury: A signed route should be installed Moreland Dixon Road to connect the communities of Inverary and Sunbury as well as to provide a connection between the paved shoulder facilities on Perth Road and Battersea Road.



Frontenac Islands - Winter Dock: A paved shoulder with signed route facility should be installed along Road 7051 to 96 - to provide a connection from the Frontenac Islands winter dock and to enhance perceived safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

These routes combined with the existing active transportation network were combined to form the trail concept plan. The enclosed appendix Maps highlights the trail opportunity identified for each proposed route and the facility type of each proposed route.

4.6 Prioritization / Ranking Tool The following tool was originally developed by the Ministry of Transportation Sustainable Transportation Office for use as a preliminary cycle tourism route selection process and tool for the Province and its partners to consider in the development of a potential provincial-scale cycle touring network. It has been adapted for use as a priority route selection tool in Frontenac County. The tool includes three key parts which form a process to identify the suitability and feasibility of candidate routes. Part i: Identifies criteria and illustrates a process through which a candidate cycling route is identified for inclusion in a province-wide cycling network. Part ii: Provides a description and considerations for scoring each route by individual route selection criteria and is intended to be used as a resource for conducting the route evaluation. Part iii: Is a worksheet which can be used to conduct the route evaluation.

4.6.1 Using the Tool The first step is to use the worksheet (Part iii) to apply the High-level Route Selection Criteria (Criteria A, B & C in flow chart) to identify and score potential candidate routes. The three HighLevel Route Selection Criteria are meant to identify routes which are appropriate for further investigation. The criteria should be assessed based on a 3-point scoring system:

3

The route categorically meets/fulfills the criterion (i.e. all descriptions / consideration items are met / fulfilled)

2

The route generally meets / fulfils the criterion (i.e. most of the descriptions / considerations are met / fulfilled)

1

The route generally does not meet / fulfill the criterion (i.e. less than half of the descriptions / considerations are met / fulfilled)

0

The route does not meet / fulfill the criterion at all (i.e. none of the descriptions / considerations are met / fulfilled)

N/A This criterion is not applicable to the route being evaluated In order for a route to proceed to Steps 2 and 3 in the worksheet, it should achieve a score of 6 or more in this first step. Routes identified through Step 1, are then assessed in more detail by applying a set of “Experiential” (Step 2) and “Safety and Feasibility” (Step 3) criteria. Each of these criteria is scored based on the 3-point scoring system noted above.

31

Trails Advisory Committee Report to Council

Page 140 of 269

AgendaItem#13f)

Assessing the suitability of a candidate route involves adding the individual scores and then dividing that number by the number of scored criteria (criteria which are N/A will not be considered part of the evaluation of this particular route). By way of example, given that there are 24 criteria in steps 2 and 3, if each is scored 2 the total would be 48 (i.e. 24 x 2 = 48). You then divide the resulting value (e.g. 48) by the number of criteria scored (i.e. 48/24 = 2) which gives a final score of 2. The final score for each route will range between 0 (low suitability) and 3 (high suitability) as a priority route for Frontenac County. Please refer to the Suitability Index (Figure 2) to compare a route’s score to the level of suitability. Figure 2: Suitability Index

5.0 Implementation and Phasing Plan The County of Frontenac Trails Concept plan is meant to guide the future decision making when developing, designing and constructing facilities. The above trail types, standards and opportunities are intended to provide the necessary foundation for the County of Frontenac.

5.1 Funding Opportunities The costs of implementing the trails concept plan should not be the sole responsibility of the County. The implementation of the plan including budgeting for and paying for the design, implementation and maintenance of the facilities should be a collaborative effort based on the pursuit of external funding sources and partnership opportunities.

The County should regularly explore additional partnership and funding opportunities from all levels of government and pursue all available sources of funding for facility development as well as programming. Table 11 below highlights some potential funding sources which could be explored at the federal and provincial levels.

6.0 Conclusion This proposed Trails Concept Plan - for on-road and off-road facilities - represents a significant County-wide investment in trails, recreation, and active transportation opportunity in the County of Frontenac. The Plan has been developed to support the strategic and long-term development of its network and is submitted as a final draft document to the County. This document should be considered a ‘living document’ and evolved as County needs and opportunities present themselves. The County and its partners are encouraged to use this document to guide the development of priority projects and to maintain the development of both the County’s on- and off-road trails network. The County of Frontenac should maintain the active engagement of the Trails Advisory Committee and consider the establishment of an Annual Stakeholder Meeting with all related stakeholders including local municipalities - to oversee the implementation, management and promotion of trails in the County of Frontenac. The stakeholder group could include representatives from the County of Frontenac, the Trails Advisory Committee (TAC), Municipal representatives including the Departments of Public Works, the KFL&A Public Health, and organizations such as the Heart and Stroke Foundation, etc. Within ten (10) years the County of Frontenac should consider revisiting the Trails Concept Plan to revise and update it - and track and update progress to Council on an annual basis. The update should evaluate the progress made and develop a new set of priorities for the County for the next ten (10) years.

The study team at MMM Group, thanks the staff, members of the public, local stakeholders and members of the Trails Advisory Committee who gave their time and input in the develop of this Plan – and especially those who actively participated in the public open house and project meetings along with those who provided their written or verbal input to the study team.
