Today is the first day of Road Closure for a portion of Brock Avenue, between Ontario Street and the entrance to the Brock Avenue parking lot, will be closed for a period of two years to allow for the construction of a development at 490-492 Brock Ave. In accordance with to the City’s Delegated Authority ByLaw 99-2012, a full road closure request longer than five days requires Council approval. The Brock Avenue road closure was approved by Burlington City Council at the Nov. 12, 2018 meeting of Council in report TS-15-18. During the construction: Pedestrian access to the sidewalk on the west side of Brock Avenue will be closed The sidewalk on the south side of Ontario Street will remain open with a covered pedestrian walkway The entrance to the parking lot on Brock Avenue will remain open at all times. There are no residential accesses within the proposed closure limits. Yesterday at Committee, Council considered new construction guidelines That no longer allow closures of streets or a pedestrian access during construction. Delegations on this matter will be heard in September, you are always welcome to share your thoughts here, or to my office email.

A lovely card saying “For all you do, Thank You”, from a nearby resident. After 25.5 hours in Committee/Council so far this week, it’s the tiny moments filled with community and connection that really bring it home. We truly have the best place to live, work, and play. 💕

In the past four years there have been zero improvements to the streetscape downtown Burlington. This is because the Downtown Streetscape Guidelines were not complete and therefore held up the acquisition and implementation of any new Street furniture since 2015. (with only the exception of Place Based Furniture for example, Elgin Promenade). Sidewalks are left cracked where the red brick runs, trees have not been re-planted and tree grades are not replaced, street lights have not been repainted, bike racks have not been installed in a thoughtful manner, and benches are sporadic and varied. Our downtown is about to undergo the ebb and flow of construction and in order to mitigate the effects of this we need to ensure that the enhancements, long overdue, get underway. We are finally in a progressive place and I do commend staff for the years of work and engagement on this - some fine tuning is required to get us there, but the finish line is in sight to create a complete downtown experience. See the before and after shots of Elgin Promenade benches - only a couple years old. It is critical to have a purchasing schedule of items that are durable, cost effective, low maintenance and highly aesthetic. What are your thoughts? 💭 👇

July is Plastic-free month. DYK @regionofhalton offers a variety of reusable items to replace everyday single use plastics?! I’m wondering if there’s interest in a pop-up at City Hall for reusable: • straws • fruit & veggie bags • food wrap • cutlery • water bottles • grocery bags & more Would you want to have these available right here at City Hall? Would just before school be a good time? What are you doing this July to be plastic free? Aren’t these awesome? Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution – so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities. Will you be part of Plastic Free July by choosing to refuse single-use plastics?

Celebrating Canada Day by welcoming our delegates from Itabashi, Japan to honour the 30th anniversary of our twinning agreement. Did you know that Burlington is sister cities with Itabashi, Japan? In the spring of 1989 Burlington signed this twinning agreement and we have been enjoying the civic partnership ever since. Burlington named a road after the city, and Itabashi donated a bridge to us. I, like many residents and neighbours, enjoyed the 1999 fireworks show at Spencer Smith Park – a gift from Itabashi to mark the 10-year anniversary of this partnership. Burlington marked the occasion by gifting the city a Friendship Clock. In the early spring, Burlingtonians get to enjoy the blooming cherry blossom trees (sakura) – another generous gift from our friends in Itabashi. The Art Gallery of Burlington hosts a Sakura Festival, which celebrates Japanese culture with plenty of entertainment. #citiesoftheworld #worldcities #culture #Japan #BurlOn #canadaday2019

Ward 2 Community News Release Latest issue was sent out today, if you haven’t signed up to receive my newsletter, please DM with your email or send an email request to ward2@burlington.ca Hello All! It's officially summer and your City has so much to offer so pack up and explore all the trails, parks, and events happening right here. Council will recess for the summer after the July cycle of meetings, that doesn't mean vacation though, this time will be put to good use by getting out into the community and working on re-launching my website to get you the information you need faster and on demand. Your feedback is always important, please let me know what you would like to see as we move into the fall session of Council. We have done much work to update the Ward 2 Developments page to give you tools to understand what's happening in your community - from preparation to construction. Its said that Canada has two seasons, winter and construction! Most importantly, our community is bursting with opportunities to get outside and Live & Play, have fun and be safe! Happy Summer, Councillor Kearns
