Staff identified a number of initiatives which are currently taking place and constructive suggestions were made, such as development of safe travel path standards on sidewalks. Issues affect seniors, but also affect people with disabilities and other members of the public. It was agreed that a broader group discussion would be beneficial, aimed at recommendations which can be implemented and do not duplicate existing initiatives. While not mentioned at the meeting, the CNIB has subsequently asked to participate. The group would develop its own time-frame and terms of reference.
