Item 9.1. Matthew Sweet, Manager, Active Transportation
 

Matthew Sweet, Manager, Active Transportation made a deputation on the “City of Mississauga’s Micromobility Project – Phase 1”. This included information on:

  • The City’s vision for micromobility and e-scooter strategy
  • The components of phase 1 of the strategy
  • The roll out of phase 2 and 3 of the strategy
  • Information on the provincial pilot related to e-scooters
  • Proposed rules surrounding the use of e-scooters

Councillor Kovac inquired with respect to benchmarking with other municipalities that have implemented similar programs and spoke in support of the report. Mr. Sweet noted that staff are working with other municipalities.

Councillor Dasko inquired about funding availability for the project and if a helmet would be mandatory. Mr. Sweet noted that there is no provincial funding available and further noted that anyone under 18 years of age is  required to wear a helmet.

Councillor Saito spoke in support of the program but raised concerns regarding the use of motorized devices on multi use trails, the safety of pedestrians, the need for additional signage, line separation and lane designation for scooters and bicycles. In response, Mr. Sweet noted that the maximum speed for e-scooters is 24 kilometres per hour further noting that a lack of space on multi-use trails limits the City’s ability to designate lanes for motorized devices and pedestrians. Mr. Sweet also spoke to signage being piloted that speaks to courteous trail use. Councillor Saito requested that staff take another look at improving safety for pedestrians on the multi-use trails and requested information on how e-scooter operators will interact with traffic on roads and at intersections. Councillor Saito also requested that signage be installed reminding people that e-scooters are prohibited on park trails.

Councillor Damerla requested information on leveraging information from municipalities such as Brampton related to the project rather than the City of Mississauga conducting a separate pilot program and spoke in support of restricting e-scooters on roads with speed limits over 60 kilometres per hour and added general support for the program.

Councillor Fonseca noted that the Cycling Advisory Committee supported the project and would like to remain involved. Councillor Fonseca also noted the importance of:

  • Reviewing the signage on multi-use trails
  • Monitoring and data collection on trails and intersections as there is often confusion
  • Providing education and awareness

Councillor Fonseca also suggested further clarification surrounding when an e-scooter would be allowed on a bus and asked if there are any requirements surrounding bells or horns on e-scooters. Councillor Fonseca also inquired if e-scooters would be part of the curbside management review and if there is an opportunity to receive funding through federal programs.

Mr. Sweet responded that:

  • Provincial regulations require e-scooters to be equipped with a bell or horn
  • That the e-scooter project would coordinate with the curbside management project
  • The micromobility project may not meet the requirements for federal funding but there is funding available for phase 2 of the project

Geoff Wright, Commissioner, Transportation and Works noted that the rules for allowing e-scooters on a bus would be the same as for strollers and buggies and that these items are allowed provided there is space available and they do not block the aisle.

Councillor Starr inquired as to whether or not sidewalks that were set back from major roads could be used by e-scooters. Mr. Sweet confirmed that no sidewalk use by e-scooters was permitted.

Councillor Mahoney asked how e-scooters can be tracked and how to avoid e-scooter litter, citing an example of e-scooters being dumped in the Rideau Canal. Mr. Ahmed noted that the e-scooters are equipped with a global positioning unit (GPS). Mr. Ahmed also noted that with Scooty scooters geo-fencing can be employed to restrict the operation of e-scooters in certain areas.
