people out of their personal ICE vehicles is the biggest
challenge that has never

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.25in"><span

in this section addresses the physical infrastructure necessary
to optimize
active transportation, but a social marketing campaign must be
in place to
address the “soft” aspects. What are the barriers? What are the
incentives? </span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.25in"><span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Planning
for the 15-minute city is good, but that has to include the
suburbs. Adjunct
urban design professor at the University of British Columbia,
Scot Hein, proposes
that a <a
href="https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2018/10/17/Five-Minute-City-Better-Vancouver/">5
minute walk</a> is more in line with what people will actually
do, and offers a
design of 5-minute catchment areas for walkability. Within these
hyper-local
neighbourhoods, connected to public transit, are all the
amenities needed to
live. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.25in"><span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">How
we live and work is essentially how we move. Williamsburg in
Kitchener, with a
central commercial hub, is a step in the right direction, but
still missing the
key element of 5-minute walk. <br>

<div>Hi John-
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was about to phone you when this email came in! I
will incorporate these points into the draft Susan K put
together and then wait to see if Kevin and Greg have
additions. There’s time. I emailed the Region to tell them
the GREN submission will be late. As Susan K noted, we
don’t have much to say about the How We Move section, so
if anyone does, please send on.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m glad you focused on the city green space issue. As
a country bumpkin who moved to the city, I guess I’ve been
too impressed by what the cities do in contrast to the
townships. Good corrective here. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How come we are all so busy?? It’s weird. But then most
everything is a bit weird.<br>
<br>

Sorry that i haven't reviewed it until the last
minute. The current months have been insane because
added onto my normal work is the teaching of my waste
class at UofW totally on-line for the first time.

<div class="">My comments are only a few and should be
easy to integrate:</div>
<div class="">
<ol class="MailOutline">
<li class="">in Recs under 12 it only refers to
townships. I think these are excellent and am
really glad they are here, but we imply that the
cities are doing fine. In the matter of creating
greenspace we need greenspace created in the
cities as well to provide all kinds of energy
saving provisions as well as to give people who
live in the city easy daily access to
greenpeace. Every time a city dweller steps
outside they should experience nature. And they
should not have to use cars or even transit to
experience some aspect of nature.</li>
<li class="">In recs under 13 on green
infrastructure it again focuses on townships.
This is really good and the needs for townships
are different and so well pointed out. But we
ignore the cities saying that they are doing
"pretty good." "Pretty good" is just passable,
which is far from what we need for the future.
So in terms of green infrastructure in the
cities: Yes they have plans, etc., but they
constantly compromise when putting in
infrastructure such as building roads and
rebuilding old roads and streets. They regularly
chop down wonderful mature trees that are major
contributors to addressing cc issues, to put the
priority on cars. Even if they don't cut down
the trees, they shorten the lives of trees by
chopping off parts of their root systems. Also
the cities fund important work by REEP to get
green infrastructure installed. However, this
work is piece meal and will not get us where we
need to be nearly quickly enough - if ever. This
is not REEPs fault. It is because there is not
sufficient dollars put into these programs. Also
the Region needs to look at ways to r<b class="">equire</b>
leading edge green infrastructure in new
developments (residential, institutional,
commercial and industrial and also
rehabilitation in existing developments. E.G.,
change the parking lots in shopping malls,
churches, community centres, etc.</li>
<li class="">The stuff on agriculture is an
excellent addition. I particularly like the
sentence about making the entire country-side
line "permanent." Find a way to highlight this
better. My biggest fear is that each time we
review the ROP we will move the line outwards.</li>
<li class="">In rec 18 near end where it talks
about including parks, please put into this "and
benches". I am finding increasingly that benches
are seen as a problem - as drawing undesirables,
especially in downtown areas.</li>

<div class="">Hi GREN exec,<br class="">
<br class="">
I've attached the first run-through of
GREN's submission to ROW's 5 year climate
change review paper. Still needs a lot of
work and input on How We Move. I've
generally formatted both Susan B and Sandra
B's input for How we live, work, build, but
have done no editing.<br class="">
<br class="">
Please. Someone take it and run with it. My
brain hurts.<br class="">
