WFP Analysis: Mature trees worth saving (Mar25'19)
by Beth McKechnie 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

*Mature trees worth saving, not just replacing * https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/analysis/mature-trees-worth-savin… THE elm bark beetle kills 15 mature elm trees in Winnipeg every day. The emerald ash borer that arrived in late 2017 could kill every ash tree in the city in the next decade. Winnipeg has the unfortunate distinction of being the only city in North America at war with both of these tree-killing insects at the same time, and the two species they destroy make up almost two-thirds of the city’s public trees. Our urban forest is on the cusp of devastation, but a sense of public urgency has yet to set in. In Ottawa, more than 100,000 ash trees have been lost in the eight years since the emerald ash borer’s arrival. Our day is coming. As we battle the invaders, management of our street trees will mean replanting more diverse species as old ones are lost, but we should not undervalue efforts to preserve our existing older trees. The economic, environmental and social benefits of street trees increase exponentially with size, and it can take generations for the value of a lost mature tree to be regained. A replanted basswood, as an example, will be less than half of its mature height and breadth after 30 years of growth. A disease-free American elm can live up to 300 years, and doesn’t reach full maturity until 150 years. With salt and other environmental pollutants in today’s city, most replanted trees will never reach the scale of our current canopy. Because of this, investment made to preserve larger trees will have significant payback over several decades. The costs will be high, but there are few public expenditures with greater return on investment than protecting our street trees. The majestic beauty of leaf-filtered light streaming through the cathedral arch canopy of towering street trees inspires a sense of place that emotionally connects people to their neighbourhoods and cities. They create a comfortable pedestrian experience by providing shade and wind protection, while establishing an intimate pedestrian zone that separates cars and people. This perception of safety is enhanced as street trees define the road edge and enclose a driver’s field of vision, which instinctively calms traffic and lowers driving speeds. *A 2008 study by the Texas Transportation Institute found that the presence of large street trees lowers the average cruising speed of vehicles in suburbs by almost 5 km/h.* This more comfortable pedestrian environment translates into economic benefit. A study from the University of Washington determined that when shade trees are added to a retail street, the positive impact on the experience makes people stay longer and shop more, increasing spending by as much as 12 per cent on average. It also found that the attraction to mature street trees can increase residential property values by as much as 15 per cent. In Portland, Ore., this was calculated to be worth US$15 million in added property tax revenue for the city. Street trees also improve physical and mental health. A large tree can remove up to 25 per cent of nearby airborne fine particulates and gaseous pollutants emitted by vehicles and buildings. Large mature trees remove 70 times more urban air pollution than the small trees planted to replace them. Recent findings published in the Urban Forestry and Urban Greening Journal indicated that across 86 Canadian cities, the combined reduced air pollution from urban trees saves the health-care system $227 million annually, avoiding 22,000 incidences of acute respiratory symptoms. A Toronto study, Neighbourhood Greenspace and Health in a Large Urban Centre, found exposure to trees can be psychologically and physiologically restorative. The study asked 31,000 residents in different communities to assess their perceived state of health. When the data were overlaid on tree maps, they revealed that having 10 or more mature street trees on a block had the equivalent self-reported health benefits of feeling seven years younger. People in poorer areas with plentiful street trees reported health that resembled affluent neighbourhoods, and those living on wealthier streets without trees reported health like that of people in poorer areas. As trees absorb carbon from the atmosphere, they can play an important role in reducing a city’s contribution to climate change. Once again, size matters. As trees age, their climate benefits increase disproportionately, with as much as 50 per cent of their carbon accumulation occurring in the last quarter of their lives, and almost three-quarters in the last half. The cooling effect of shade trees also reduces the energy requirements for the air-conditioning of buildings, which in turn reduces GHG emissions. A study by the City of Sacramento determined that large street trees can reduce summertime energy use by as much as 35 per cent, twice as much as medium-sized trees, with small trees having very little effect. With climate change increasing the frequency of high-volume stormwater events, street trees are playing a more important role managing runoff and relieving pressure on municipal infrastructure. Large street trees can absorb as much as 60 per cent of the water in a rainfall, with capacity being directly related to the size of the tree’s canopy and root system. Losing our large trees would likely have catastrophic effects on Winnipeg’s combined sewer system — pipes that collect both raw sewage and rainfall, with a replacement cost pegged at more than $4 billion. Winnipeg without its majestic street tree canopy is difficult to imagine. The economic, social and environmental impact would be devastating. The battle to preserve as many large old trees as possible, and to replace the ones that are lost, will take a significantly increased commitment from private citizens and all levels of government. Their benefits show that a city’s trees are not merely leafy decoration, but should be considered an essential piece of urban infrastructure, no less valuable than roads, sidewalks and sewer lines. *Brent Bellamy is a senior design architect for Number Ten Architectural Group.*

CTV: City council passes budget with 11-5 vote

*City council passes budget with 11-5 vote* [Note: see highlighted text below] https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/city-council-passes-budget-with-11-5-vote-1.434… With spring on the horizon, Winnipeg driver Armond Eaglestick says his street is showing signs of wear and tear. "There's a lot of potholes," said Eaglestick. He says Winnipeg streets aren't doing his truck any favours. The shocks are always going, you got to pay you know shocks and tires, sometimes they pop," said Eaglestick. Winnipeg city council passed the 2019 budget by an 11 to 5 vote, but there was no last minute money added to fix residential streets. The outcome came in spite of lobbying efforts from the Manitoba Heavy Construction Association and others to find some cash. "This year you wiped out all significant work on neighbourhood streets," said Chris Lorenc, president of the Manitoba Heavy Construction Association. Because of a $40 million funding dispute with the province, the city says it was forced to chop the local roads budget this year. Fifty-three street and lane projects fell by the wayside, even though homeowners are paying more in taxes. "This was I believe a fiscally responsible reaction to the shortfall," said Mayor Brian Bowman. Prior to the budget vote, councillors Ross Eadie and Jason Schreyer tabled a motion to borrow $10 million this year to reconstruct some of those roads. "There is an expectation on our residents that they actually see some work this year," said Eadie. Council voted against that plan. "I for one do not believe it is appropriate to pull out the city's credit card to make Winnipeg taxpayers pay the province's bill," said Scott Gillingham, chair of city council’s finance committee. But all might not be lost for the city's residential roads. The Trudeau government's federal budget this week contained a pledge to double gas tax revenues. Winnipeg's share comes out to around $40 million. "You know local roads could be one area for consideration by council, there could other things, active transportation,” said Bowman. Mayor Brian Bowman says it's unclear when that money could flow. Armond Eaglestick says the sooner the better. "You can't really drive anywhere you have to dodge the holes and everything," said Eaglestick.

WFP: Newcomer girl, 4, hit at crosswalk dies (Mar21'19)
by Beth McKechnie 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

*Family suffers ‘profound shock’; mother recovers in hospital* * Newcomer girl, 4, hit at crosswalk dies * https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/girl-4-struck-by-vehicle-at-crosswa… A FOUR-YEAR-OLD girl who was struck by a vehicle at a Winnipeg crosswalk Monday has died. The girl, named Galila, recently arrived in Canada from Eritrea with her parents and six-year-old brother. She died at the Health Sciences Centre, where she and her mother, who was also hit by the vehicle as they crossed Isabel Street at Alexander Avenue, had been listed in critical condition. “It’s a profound shock,” said family spokeswoman Dorota Blumczynska, who was at the hospital late Tuesday to console the child’s father. “Everything has happened so quickly,” said the executive director of the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization of Manitoba (IRCOM), which runs the transitional housing complex on Isabel Street where the family lives. “The family has continued to ask for privacy.” On Monday, just before noon, Galila and her mother — identified Wednesday by Blumczynska as Genet Bruk — were walking to pick up Galila’s six-year-old brother, Lamek, at Dufferin School. The pair was hit by a northbound vehicle at the crosswalk. Police have not released more details about the incident, other than that Galila died as a result of her injuries. Blumczynska said Bruk remains in hospital in stable condition. Her husband, Rezene Bruk, was there when his daughter died Tuesday evening, she said. “Now he has to direct his energy to his wife,” said an emotional Blumczynska, after she and other IRCOM staff held a vigil at the hospital with the Bruks until the early hours Wednesday. The couple is in the early stages of learning English and an interpreter is helping them through the complex medical information at HSC. The language of grief, however, is painfully simple. “The father and I exchanged some words of profound sadness,” Blumczynska said through tears. “The mom needs to fully recover and it will be a long journey for her... She and her husband and son need our continued prayers and love and support to make it through this.” Galila’s death echoes a similar tragedy in the city, a little more than a year ago. In February 2018, eight-year-old Surafiel Musse Tesfamariam was on his way to École Varennes with his mother, when he was hit and killed by a vehicle at a crosswalk on St. Anne’s Road. After Surafiel’s death, St. Vital residents pushed for greater safety at the crosswalk, Coun. Brian Mayes said. “I got more calls and emails on this than anything,” he said. “It was upsetting for the whole community.” In May, city councillors on the public works committee unanimously approved an administration plan for the installation of eye-level, flashing warning lights at the St. Anne’s Road crosswalk. Tree branches that could obscure the existing flashing amber lights at the crossing were pruned to improve visibility. The cost was roughly $25,000. “I think it improves visibility,” the councillor for St. Vital said, adding he would like to see more crosswalks get beefed-up warning lights. “Anecdotally, people have been positive about it,” said Mayes, who is waiting for a formal report on the effect of the improvements at the St. Anne’s Road crosswalk. Manitoba Public Insurance’s more recent statistics show the number of pedestrians hit by vehicles has gone up. MPI doesn’t have specific crosswalk data, but its 2017 report shows 179 people were killed or injured that year — an involvement rate of 13.2 per 100,000 people, compared with an average of 11.4 per 100,000 from 2012 to 2016. Most pedestrians in Manitoba were hit on a weekday (82 per cent) and between noon and 6 p.m. Almost half (41 per cent) were hit at an intersection and had the right of way. Manitobans ages 55 to 64 had the highest rate of being hit and killed, MPI numbers show. Children under the age of 10 had the lowest rate of pedestrian deaths and injuries in Manitoba. Their deaths, understandably, often prompt the biggest response, Mayes said. “When a child is killed, people want action,” the councillor said. In April, the city’s Riel community committee will consider a request from Surafiel’s mother to put an honorary street name topper on the sign at the corner where he died. The blue sign would say “Surafiel,” Mayes said. He said he’ll vote to approve the sign staying up for 10 years. carol.sanders(a)freepress.mb.ca

CBC: Pedestrian death, injuries put renewed focus on road design and safety

*Pedestrian death, injuries put renewed focus on road design and safety* *Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman says the city is following a plan to reduce collisions* https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/pedestrian-safety-vision-zero-1.506… The death of a four-year-old girl after she and her mother were hit by a vehicle in a crosswalk on Monday has put renewed focus on pedestrian safety in Winnipeg. Some people, including Coun. Janice Lukes, have called on the city to adopt a concept called Vision Zero. Developed in Sweden, it aims to change infrastructure and road design to reduce the number of serious injuries and fatalities from motor vehicle accidents, with the aim of zero injuries and fatalities from car collisions. Edmonton adopted the strategy in 2016 and has seen a reduction in the number of people hurt and killed on their streets. "We feel we've been very fortunate over the last three years," said Gerry Shimko, executive director of Edmonton's office of traffic safety. Serious injuries have gone down 17 per cent, from 385 people hospitalized in 2015 to 319 last year. Pedestrian injuries are down 21 per cent, cyclist injuries are down 29 per cent and motorcycle injuries 26 per cent over the last three years, Shimko said. "So it's all trending in the right direction," he said. Changes under the program include narrowing roadways so drivers don't feel like they can speed through, and setting speed limits at 40 km/h in some communities. The strategy also proposes raising crosswalks to encourage drivers to slow down, and putting in curb extensions to reduce the distance pedestrians have to cross, "One of the primary focuses is to really look at identifying where your high-risk locations are for fatalities and serious injuries," he said. Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman says the city's road safety improvement efforts are following a plan adopted by the federal government called Towards Zero. "That's been incorporated and has been demonstrating, notwithstanding the fact that accidents are still going to happen, is still demonstrating some good, positive successes," Bowman said. The four-year-old girl and her mother — newcomers to Canada — were hit while in a crosswalk at Isabel Street and Alexander Avenue around noon Monday. On Wednesday, a pedestrian was taken to hospital in critical condition after being hit on Osborne Street near Morley Avenue and Bartlet Avenue. Bowman said he's committed to discussing ways to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers in the city. Shimko said anyone interested in learning from Edmonton's experience is welcome to visit. "At the end of the day we believe that everybody's family should leave and come home safely."

City of Winnipeg seeks public input for two transit projects Released: 4:08 p.m. March 15, 2019 https://winnipeg.ca/cao/media/news/nr_2019/nr_20190315.stm#2 The City of Winnipeg is kicking off two major transit projects today and inviting Winnipeggers to share their input over the next month. *Winnipeg Transit Master Plan* The City wants to hear from Winnipeggers about the future of our transit system to help shape the Winnipeg Transit Master Plan. The Winnipeg Transit Master Plan is a 25-year plan that will cover all aspects of the transit system – Transit, Rapid Transit, and Transit Plus (formerly Handi-Transit) service and infrastructure. “We expect Winnipeg to be home to nearly one million people within the next 25 years and our transit system needs to grow along with the city,” said Kevin Sturgeon, Senior Transit Planner. “This project will give us an opportunity to talk to Winnipeggers about what’s important to them in a transit system for the future.” In the first phase of public engagement, the project team will talk to Winnipeggers about how they currently use transit services, what is important to them, and what they would like to see in the future. The information gathered will be presented in a report that identifies key areas of study for the Transit Master Plan project. >From March 15 to April 20, Winnipeggers are invited to provide input online, by email at: transitmasterplan(a)winnipeg.ca, or in person at one of five open houses, or at one of six pop-up events throughout the city. *Open house details:* *Date* *Time* *Location* April 9, 2019 3:30 p.m to 6:30 p.m. South Winnipeg Community Centre – Waverley Site 1885 Chancellor Dr. <https://goo.gl/maps/PD4JyJTfZvv> April 10, 2019 4 p.m to 8 p.m. Transcona East End Community Centre 517 Pandora Ave E. <https://goo.gl/maps/srNK8zHQGLQ2> April 11, 2019 4 p.m to 8 p.m. Seven Oaks Arena 745 Kingsbury Ave. <https://goo.gl/maps/h6ZYjqQxd2x> April 16, 2019 4 p.m to 8 p.m. Sturgeon Heights Community Centre 210 Rita St. <https://goo.gl/maps/u1PfvJALXtC2> April 17, 2019 4 p.m to 8 p.m. Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain 340 Provencher Blvd. <https://goo.gl/maps/T2WnpRWLDTE2> *Pop-up details:* *Date* *Time* *Location* April 4, 2019 10 a.m to 1 p.m. Charleswood Library 4910 Roblin Blvd. <https://www.google.com/maps/place/4910+Roblin+Blvd,+Winnipeg,+MB+R3R+0G7/@4…> April 5, 2019 10 a.m to 1 p.m. Windsor Park Library 1195 Archibald St. <https://goo.gl/maps/Fuiv2rbB2nq> April 6, 2019 10 a.m to 1 p.m. St. Norbert Farmers Market 3514 Pembina Hwy. <https://goo.gl/maps/UbGuLwQbQfG2> April 8, 2019 4 p.m to 7 p.m. Elmwood Kildonans Pool 909 Concordia Ave. <https://goo.gl/maps/tcjySn5Jm892> April 12, 2019 11 a.m to 2 p.m. Merchants Corner 541 Selkirk Ave. <https://goo.gl/maps/iGgud4SECNx> April 13, 2019 1:30 p.m to 4:30 p.m. Lindenwoods Community Centre 414 Lindenwood Dr. W. <https://goo.gl/maps/NvQ7U4KPDnM2> Work on the Transit Master Plan will continue throughout the year, with an anticipated completion date in 2020. For more information on the Winnipeg Transit Master Plan, please visit: winnipeg.ca/transitmasterplan. *Southwest Rapid Transitway Route Planning* Winnipeg Transit is proposing improvements to bus routes in southwest Winnipeg to coincide with the opening of the Southwest Transitway (Stage 2) in spring 2020, including a new spine and feeder network, subject to Council approval. The implementation of the proposed new routes using a spine and feeder network will ensure optimal use of Winnipeg Transit’s resources so that it can improve the delivery of efficient, fast, and reliable transit service for residents in the southwest of the City. The proposed network changes include a central spine, with feeder routes. The proposed BLUE Line is the backbone of the Southwest Transitway, providing frequent high-speed service between Downtown, the University of Manitoba and St. Norbert. Short routes will connect neighborhoods in southwest Winnipeg to the transitway but will not operate on the transitway. A mobile Ideas in Motion bus will be popping up in communities throughout southwest Winnipeg in early April where residents will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed system and route changes, and share their input with the project team in person. An online survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HSZXQ9R> is also available on the project website until April 15, 2019. *Date* *Time* *Location* Wednesday, April 3, 2019 12 p.m to 2:30 p.m. University of Manitoba Station Dafoe Rd. @ Gillson St. <https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Dafoe+Rd+W+%26+Gillson+St,+Winnipeg,+MB+R3…> Wednesday, April 3, 2019 3:30 p.m to 5:30 p.m. Osborne Junction Bus Loop Pembina Hwy. @ Osborne St. <https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Southbound+Pembina+at+Osborne+Junction/@49…> Thursday, April 4, 2019 2:15 p.m to 4:30 p.m. University of Manitoba Station Dafoe Rd. @ Gillson St. <https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Dafoe+Rd+W+%26+Gillson+St,+Winnipeg,+MB+R3…> Saturday, April 6, 2019 11 a.m to 1 p.m. St. Norbert Farmers’ Market Eagles Club, 3459 Pembina Hwy. <https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Eagles+Club+No+3870/@49.7678078,-97.156272…> Saturday, April 6, 2019 2 p.m to 4 p.m. Bridgwater Centre Exact location to be determined Monday, April 8, 2019 3 p.m to 5 p.m. South Pointe School 615 Kirkbridge Dr. <https://www.google.ca/maps/place/South+Pointe+School+%2F+%C3%89cole+South+P…> Monday, April 8, 2019 6 p.m to 8 p.m. Kenaston Common 1665 Kenaston Blvd. <https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Northbound+Kenaston+at+Wal-Mart/@49.822787…> (Walmart parking lot) [image: Ideas in Motion Bus Promo Picture 2] Input gathered throughout the public engagement process will help further refine the proposed route improvements before recommending changes to Council for its approval in advance of the opening of the second stage of the Southwest Transitway.
