Committee moves to update right-of-way roadwork, construction fees
October 24, 2024
The Transportation Committee today approved new municipal consent and utility circulation fees, as well as updated road cut and temporary road closure permit fees, to ensure the City can continue to recover the costs of staff work.
Municipal consent and utility circulations help assist in mitigating impacts on existing infrastructure and facilitate opportunities to coordinate construction projects within the right-of-way. The City has not historically charged a fee for municipal consent, nor recovered the cost of conducting utility circulations except through historic annual payments by telecommunication carriers as part of their Municipal Access Agreements. Aside from the additional revenues to help with cost recovery of the work, the new fees will help:
- Improve service delivery for permit issuing
- Facilitate continued service delivery within targeted timelines
- Maintain service levels and provide capacity for the review and coordination of development works under the site plan control and plan of subdivision application processes
- Ensure more efficient administration of the City’s right-of-way
- Provide staff resources to coordinate work and mitigate mobility impacts citywide
- Improve responses to Service Requests and inquiries through better tracking of permits
We replay an earlier conversation that Kristy had with CEO of the Ottawa Mission Peter Tilley about getting a more accurate number of the people who are homeless. Later, pediatricians are calling for more screenings to help kids with reading difficulties. Plus, CTV's Matt Skube drops by to tell Kristy how big of a cranky pants she is. Okay, he didn't do that, but they did talk about how they shut down unwanted conversation.
