Whereas:
1. On December 2, 2019, Council voted 6-2 to defeat even receiving a staff report on the proposed amendments to the draft Willoughby Arterial Road Completion Amenity Policy;
2. The proposed amendments, so defeated by Council, were intended to address public and development industry input regarding valid concerns of preserving the existing development economics along with the urgent need to address the worsening arterial road infrastructure issues within Willoughby;
3. Multiple elected members of Council that voted to defeat the Willoughby Arterial Road Completion Amenity Policy, and to not consider it further, promised to electors during the 2018 municipal election campaign to solve the worsening problem of 208 Street within Willoughby; and
4. The draft Willoughby Arterial Road Completion Amenity Policy is the only solution of any kind for this issue so far presented by any member of Council, almost a third of the way through the current Council term;
Therefore be it resolved that staff be directed to present to Council, as part of the 2020 budget process for its further consideration, an explanation and review of the amendments to the Willoughby Arterial Road Completion Amenity Policy that were proposed and defeated at the December 2, 2019, Regular Evening Meeting of Council.
