Not yet collected for this person: statements, campaign commitments and policy leadership. A gap in the collected evidence is not evidence that none exist.

Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction.

THAT: 1. Because the emergency response task forces created by the City of Calgary in response to COVID-19 do not explicitly address transit planning, Council directs Administration to elevate the significance of transit planning projects as part of the corporation’s “Stimulative Infrastructure” priority area by pivoting the responsibilities of select members of the Transit department to prepare the City’s Transit Advocacy position, in partnership with the Office of the Mayor and the Chairs of the Green Line Committee and the Standing Policy Committee on Transportation and Transit (or their delegates); 2. Because the 2017 Council approved Stage 1 of the Green Line project has been the major transit infrastructure focal area for the past three years, Council directs Administration to pivot toward examining which other transit needs (capital and operating) can be presented as investment opportunities to the federal or provincial governments as part of their COVID-19 response. This would be part of the work to be conducted by the Transit Advocacy group mentioned in point 1; 3. Any advocacy discussions with federal and provincial government partners around the transit-based decisions from 4 May 2020 will be led by Mayor Nenshi, with support from the Chairs of the Green Line Committee and the Standing Policy Committee on Transportation and Transit (or their delegates); 4. The Mayor call a Special Meeting of Council for 4 May 2020 to revisit the transit projects and priorities within the Municipal Development Plan (MDP), Calgary Transit Plan (CTP), Route Ahead, Off-site Levy Bylaw and any other documents that relate to the City of Calgary’s transit strategies; 5. As part of this 4 May 2020 Special Meeting regarding transit plans, Council will develop direction for Administration in multiple areas, including but not limited to the following: a. as presently suggested in the latest recommendations from Administration (captured at the 21 February 2020 Green Line Committee meeting), evolving the Green Line project to be a multimodal rapid transit network that contemplates incorporation of bus rapid transit (BRT) segments to augment light rail transit (LRT) where prudent and feasible; b. formalizing the federal and provincial governments’ commitment to a multimodal Green Line project, thereby offering a signal to investors that Canada’s reputation for environmental stewardship remains strong; c. continuing to identify and pursue funding opportunities that would evolve all BRT segments of the Green Line to LRT over time where appropriate; d. identification of the projects in the document entitled “Guiding Framework for Prioritization of Future RouteAhead Capital Projects” that should be advanced in full or in a modified manner as part of Transit Advocacy for federal and provincial COVID-19 financial assistance; e. affirming the segmentation and related costing information that is required for the 1 June 2020 Green Line Committee meeting; and f. identification of any significant transit needs that have emerged but have not been contemplated in the “Guiding Framework for Prioritization of Future RouteAhead Capital Projects”. 6. If the 4 May 2020 meeting is productive but some points of discussion require more consideration before decision, move those points of discussion to the 11 May 2020 Strategic Meeting of Council.
