Whereas Highway 2 East runs across a provincially significant wetland complex between Abbey Dawn Road and St. Lawrence Avenue with a speed limit of 80km/hour; and Whereas the wetland complex is only a short section of Highway 2 East, less than 1 kilometre long, but a speed limit reduction is not warranted based on the engineering standards from the Transportation Association of Canada that City staff follow; and Whereas the engineering standards from the Transportation Association of Canada do not give consideration to the protection of turtles or other wildlife when warranting speed limit reductions; and Whereas the City of Kingston has just invested in enhanced flood protection along Abbey Dawn Road, Highway 2 and St. Lawrence Avenue that included the installation of turtle fencing along many parts of the wetland, however, there are still at least 9 access roads and a private road where turtles have easy access to get onto Highway 2 East in that short stretch; and Whereas turtles are a keystone species, their populations are in critical decline, they need protection from human interference, and Council’s 2023-2026 Strategic Plan includes a commitment to protecting the biodiversity in the city; Therefore Be It Resolved That Council direct staff to lower the speed limit to 60km/hour on Highway 2 East from Abbey Dawn Road to St. Lawrence Ave, extend the no passing zone on Highway 2 East from its current eastern limit at 48 metres east of Abbey Dawn Road a further 506 metres ea

Whereas vulnerable populations, including people experiencing homelessness, many renters, those with medical conditions and those who are precariously housed, are particularly vulnerable to hot weather; and Whereas hot weather can worsen mental health issues, aggravate preexisting conditions such as heart disease and chronic respiratory diseases, and cause a range of impacts from cramps, rashes, delirium, heat exhaustion and stroke to, in extreme cases, death; and Whereas according to Report Number EITP-25-011 from the Environment, Infrastructure & Transportation Policies Committee, the number of very hot days (+30˚C) in Kingston is expected to increase from an average of 6 City Council Meeting 2025-18 Minutes August 12, 2025 days per year to an average of 22 days per year by 2050, and the number of extremely hot days (+32˚C) is expected to increase from an average of 1.2 days per year to an average of 8.3 days per year by 2050; and Whereas tenants living in units without air conditioning or other cooling equipment may be at higher risk of heat-related health impacts; and Whereas Kingston’s Community Heat Response Plan must go further to mitigate the effects of hot weather; Therefore Be It Resolved That Council direct staff to bring forward an enhanced Community Heat Response Plan to the Environment, Infrastructure ＆ Transportation Policies Committee by the end of Q1 2026 with recommendations and options including costing, and with consideration for an Inter-agency Extreme We
