REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the
Health, Recreation and Social Services Committee direct staff to prepare a
report to discuss a process that would allow for ball hockey to be played on
city streets and that the report include a component on public consultation and
the type of roadway that would be appropriate for road hockey.
Que le Comité de la santé, des loisirs et des
services sociaux enjoigne le personnel de préparer un rapport en vue de
discuter d’un processus qui permettrait que l’on joue au hockey de rue dans les
rues de la ville et que ledit rapport comprenne une section relative aux
consultations publiques et au type de rues qui seraient appropriées à ce jeu.
BACKGROUND
On 6 April 2006, Chair Holmes put forward the following Notice of Motion, for consideration at a subsequent meeting:
Whereas in 2003 Ottawa City Council amalgamated the Traffic and
Parking By-law (2003-530) regulating traffic and parking on highways,
And Whereas section 93 of By-law 2003-530 prohibits the playing of
“any game or sport upon a roadway”,
And Whereas road hockey is widely accepted as a traditional pastime
for children year round,
Therefore be it resolved that Recreation staff prepare a report to
discuss a process that would allow for ball hockey to be played on city
streets,
And further be it resolved that the report include a component on
public consultation and the type of roadway that would be appropriate for road
hockey.
