Mr. Koetsier indicated that he understands the City’s initiative to encourage Active Transportation within the City. However, he noted concerns with respect to installing a sidewalk on Highland Avenue as he feels that a sidewalk is not required. He observed that there are many streets that are far busier than Highland Avenue that do not have sidewalks.

In closing, Mr. Koetsier stated that he feels the new Infill Sidewalk Policy would not prvoide a good return for the tax dollar investme | Received | |
