That:
1. City Council amend Infrastructure and Environment Committee Recommendation 1 by:
a. deleting the word "ensuring" after the words "affected infrastructure" and replacing it with the words "making best efforts to ensure all public realm repairs are completed and"; and

Origin
Summary
Over many years the Wilson Village Business Improvement Area invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in wonderful public realm and beautification initiatives along Wilson Avenue. Extra funding was given to these improvements via s 37 contributions. During the implementation of BFPP (21 ECS-LU-04FP) much of the work including garden beds, interlocking brick, decorative sidewalks had been damaged or destroyed. While some disruption was expected this goes beyond the reasonable. Recent attempts to get the restoration work underway have not been overly successful.
Quite frankly, the road and sidewalks and the public realm are a complete mess. After much urging a modest clean up of litter and debris did take place but this has been insufficient. The roadway is severely damaged and years of investment by local businesses is at risk. It is essential that repairs be done immediately. No road closures will be granted after May 26, 2026 due to the opening of the Roger’s Stadium concern season which is just down the street.
