50 ANALYSIS

51 Background

gt In March 2008 Metrolinx awarded the Region of Durham funding of $147328 under the BikeLinx Program for the installation of sheltered safe and secure bicycle parking at strategic locations at or near key transit stops

gt In October 2011 the Region invited each of the area municipalities to submit proposals by January 31 2012 regarding the use of BikeLinx funding for the installation of sheltered safe and secure bicycle parking

112

Report to the Development Item 05-11-394 Services Committee (Continued) - 3- Meeting Date December 5 2011

Under the BikeLinx program bicycle parking facilities that are eligible for funding must meet the following definition

Permanent sheltered safe and secure parking for bicycles integrated with municipal and regional transit Lockers should be placed at strategic locations such as major municipal and inter-regional transit facilities andor mobility hubs Storage spaces may include lockers (which should have the provision to be operated in the future by a forthcoming smart card system) or other permanently-affixed storage which provides safe (either highly visible in line -of sight of attendant or monitored by CCTV) and sheltered parking for bicycles

Each proposal from an area municipality will be assessed based on

bull A description of the proposed bicycle parking facility and location bull How well the proposal meets the Metrolinx definition bull The estimated cost and the amount of funding being requested bull The proposed implementation plan and timeline and bull The procurement approach and availability of funds

A variety of bicycle parking facilities have already been implemented throughout the GTHA under the BikeLinx Program including bike lockers bike cages in parking garages and bike shelters Generally facilities are located in the public realm and maintained by the area municipality however in some instances a public authority is responsible for maintaining bicycle parking facilities

In the 2009 press release DRT indicated that strategic locations for sheltered safe and secure bicycle parking in Oshawa could include the Oshawa GO Train Station major shopping centres such as the Oshawa Centre and the UOIT and Durham College campuses

Metrolinx has identified the Downtown Oshawa Urban Growth Centre generally centered on the intersection of Simcoe Street and King Street and the area surrounding the existing Oshawa GO Train station as mobility hubs

52 Citys Recommended Proposal

The City should take advantage of the opportunity to secure BikeLinx funding for bicycle parking at strategic locations This will assist the City in its ongoing efforts to implement a sustainable transportation system strengthen the links between public transit and active transportation and provide enhanced modal choices

Attachment No 3 contains a list of recommended locations for bicycle parking facilities in Oshawa funded by the BikeLinx program and how the locations meet the funding criteria established by MetroLinx and the Region

In order to implement bicycle parking at its recommended locations the City should request funding of $72800 from the Region Of this amount $36800 relates to City owned lands

113

Report to the Development Item 05-11-394 Services Committee (Continued) -4- Meeting Date December 5 2011

~ The exact costs to install bicycle parking facilities in the recommended locations will only be determined after the work is tendered and completed

~ The proposed implementation timeline and procurement approach will be prepared in consultation with the Region after it is known how much funding will be provided for City locations

~ Bicycle parking facilities will be implemented as quickly as possible once the Region provides a commitment for funding and will be competitively bidpriced to ensure value for money

~ The area municipality will be required to enter into an agreement with the Region governing the expenditure of the funds The funding is intended to cover the capital costs of acquiring and installing the bicycle parking facilities Any future maintenance repair and replacement costs are required to be borne by the area municipality The agreement will also address any reporting requirements related to the BikeLinx Grant funding

~ Any agreement must address any liability matters to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor

~ A number of the recommended sites are not under the Citys jurisdiction Rather they are locations controlled by third parties property owners such as UOIT Durham College Trent University the Oshawa Centre and the Harmony Shopping Centre

~ The Region expects the City to enter into agreements with these third parties property owners to deal with future maintenance repair and replacement costs for bicycle facilities on their site

~ It is preferred that the Region enter into agreements directly with the third party property owners for bicycle facilities that are intended to support regional and provincial transit systems

60 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

~ The City would be required to cover any future maintenance repair and replacement costs for those bicycle parking facilities

~ These costs need to be addressed in future budgets

23 Approach to Use of BikeLinx Funds

231 The funding requests received from Ajax and Oshawa demonstrate that the dispersal of funds to the area municipalities is an effective way of implementing sheltered safe and secure bicycle parking as it fits well with the municipal responsibilities in delivering street side facilities in the public realm

232 To ensure fair and equitable access to the BikeLinx funding each of the area municipalities should be provided with an opportunity to submit funding proposals to the Region that are consistent with the criteria established for the program by MetrolinxmiddotAII funding applications must be submitted to the Regional Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development and Commissioner of Finance by January 31 2012

233 Each proposal will be assessed based on description of the proposed bicycle parking facility and location how well the proposal meets the Metrolinx definition the estimated cost and the amount of funding being requested proposed implementation plan and timeline procurement approach and availability of funds As part of the assessment process inputs will be sought from Metrolinx to verify that the proposals meet lI1etrolinxs funding eligibility definition

24 Requirement to Enter Into an Agreement with the Region

241 A municipality that has been awarded funding will be required to ente(into an agreement with the Region governing the expenditure of the funds The

municipality will acknowledge acceptance of any future maintenance repair

and replacement costs The_ fundinf~5eement Wi~1 cover the capital costs of

construction and installation of the secure cycling facilities as well as any reporting requirements related to the BikeLinx grant funding A draft agreement will be presented to the area municipalities

242 In order to ensure fair and equitable assessment of all applicationsthe flnding requests received so far from Ajax and Oshawa will need to be assessed along with future proposals from all area municipalities As such Ajax and Oshawa may choose to resubmit their proposals to ensure completeness and better alignment with the assessment criteria

3 CONCLUSIONS AND NEXT STEPS

31 Accordingly it is recommended that each of the area municipalities within Durham Region be provided with the opportunity to request one time funding from the Regions BikeLinx Funds for the implementation of sheltered safe and secure bicycle parking consistent with the criteria established for the program

32 A subsequent report will be presented to Committee and Council once the proposals have been received and evaluated with input from Metrolinx to recommend the distribution and awards of funding and to authorize the Regional Chair and Clerk to enter into funding agreements with the recipient area municipalities

Re Metrollnx BikeLinx Funding for DRT

The Town of Ajax congratulates the Regional Municipality of Durham regarding the announcement by Metrolinx of $387328 In funding for the provision of bicycle racks on buses and secure bicycle parking as part of the BikeLinx Initiative As per the JointFinance and Administration Committee Report dated April 9 2008 funding for secure bicycle parking totals $147328 As we understand it Regional staff would develop the details of the program and report back to Regional Council some time this year

The funding provided byMetrolinx opens the opportunity for the Region to provide a seamless transportation network one in which a cyclist could use a combination of modes to complete a trip In Europe there is strong evidence that suggests that car use can decline when there is a comprehensive and integrated transit pedestrian and bicycle network The Town of Ajax shares the objectives of the Region to integrate cycling with transit While the Town is a leader in terms of constructing almost 85 kilometres of multi-use trails and attrads cyclists and pedestrians from throughout the Region and the GTA the network is constrained in terms of its connections to transit The provision of bicycle racks on buses provides the cycling community with the opportunity to extend trips beyond local boundaries

The Town is partner-ing with GO Transit on the GO-by-Blke to Ajax initiative which will commence in June 2008 This initiative will introduce more cyclists to Ajax trails and connect them to local trails in the Region As more attention is given to the trails in Ajax and to connections such as GO Transit and DRT at the Ajax GO Station the prOVision of secure bicycle storage such as bicycle lockers becomes necessary The Ajax GO station makes an ideal location for the Region to consider bicycle lockers since there are already plans by GO Transit to develop a bicycle shelter Bicycle lockers provide the security necessary to encourage more commuters to cycle to the GO station and leave their bicycles for extended periods of time

The Ajax Plaza on Harwood Avenue which serves as a transit hub for DRT and GO Transit should also be considered as a location for bicycle lockers andor a bicycle shelter Ajax Plaza is located within the Towns downtown and is strategically significant because of its proximity to the industrial area and the Towns municipal headquarters There is a significant residential population located in the Downtown and secure bicycle storage would improve the transportation modes available to our Downtown residents

While we understand that your decision to locate bicycle lockers and other secure bicycle

parking will be based on several factors we believethat based on the extensive trail network in the Town of Ajax blcyple lockers at the Ajax GO station and the Ajax Plaza are quick-wins for the Regionan~would generate the support for similar initiatives throughout the Region

City Council has approved a Smart Commute - Employee Work Trip Reduction (WfR) Program This City Employee program has had

many successes since it was initiated

Gne of the Council approved recommendations of the WTR Program is that the Region be requested to consider Oshawa City Hall as a candidate site for the implementation of secure bike lockerscages through its BikeLinx Program

A recent survey of City Hall staff indicated the desire to provide secure bike lockerscages at City HaIL

At this time it is proposed that bike lockers for 4 bikes would be required at an appnximate cost of $400000

In accordance with the Council direction it is requested that the Region provide the City with sufficient funding under the BikeLinx program to install 4 bike lockers at City Hall

The City also understands that the Region received an additional $147328 for Secure Bicycle ParkingD under Metrolinxs BikeUnx Program Several strategic locations in Oshawa such as major transit stationsterminals major shopping centres UOIT and Durham College campuses

were being considered for bike locker installations in DRTs press release dated October 22 2009 It is our understanding that Iike lockers have not yet been installed at any locatiomiddoth We encourage the Region to implement this funding allowance
