I'm back at #yyccc for transportation and transit committee this morning. Currently getting an update on how COVID has affected mobility trends — there's been a recovery in travel except to downtown, and workplaces in general.
City official says public transit ridership is still at about just 30% typical baseline. This was the situation throughout the summer except for a bit of a bump during Stampede. #yyccc
There have been almost 400,000 e-scooter trips since they returned to the city in May. #yyccc
Calgary Parking Authority is projecting that 2021 revenues will be just 60% of pre-pandemic levels. That translates into a $25M hole in typical revenue. #yyccc

So the provincial COVID update is done, just a few minutes before #yyccc's discussion on the pandemic is set to start. We now know a provincial mask mandate is returning, so talking about a local mask bylaw might be moot. calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…
Things are kicking off. Coun. Gian-Carlo Carra is charing from home, but Coun. Diane Colley-Urquhart, Coun. Shane Keating and Coun. Jyoti Gondek are in chambers. #yyccc
Based on roll call, sounds like all members of #yyccc are participating in this committee meeting. Mayor Naheed Nenshi also among those participating remotely.

This morning's update with CMOH Dr. Deena Hinshaw and Education Minister Adriana LaGrange is supposed to start momentarily. I'll have updates. #COVID19AB
Here we go. Dr. Hinshaw is up first. She says since her previous recommendations, she's been watching local and international data, and two factors are leading her to change the plan. #COVID19AB
Hinshaw says COVID hospitalizations are 62% above what modelling said Alberta should expect at this point. She says hospital capacity is still stable. #COVID19AB

A COVID-related update with Mayor Nenshi, CEMA Chief Sue Henry and CPS Deputy Chief Chad Tawfik is starting momentarily... #yyccc
Nenshi says he has "some not-great news" and he'll be highlighting the need for personal responsibility and discipline as the pandemic continues. #yyccc
Nenshi says he'll be telling some personal stories. One of his friends, younger than him (49) got her first shot but contracted COVID before developing any immune protection and is currently in an induced coma in the ICU. #yyccc

#yyccc's finance committee very briefly discussed the latest Coun. Joe Magliocca expense report this morning. Magliocca still hasn't publicly apologized as directed last summer, but there's really nothing council or the city can do. calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…
Basically, sanctions were doled out last year already and that's the extent of #yyccc's powers. The ethics advisor told councillors that the only route to go further right now would be to make another complaint to the city integrity commissioner. calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…
Committee is now onto details of a city program to give rebates to people repairing their roof after weather damage, notably last year's hail storm. The rebate would apply to people choosing more resilient materials. calgaryherald.com/news/local-new… #yyccc

In case you wanted more from this day, #yyccc is now getting a COVID update from CEMA Chief Sue Henry.
Calgary is seeing a "sharp rise" in COVID metrics, Henry says. Active cases in Calgary are higher now than they've been at any point since the start of the pandemic. #yyccc Image
Increasing COVID cases and coronavirus variants are contributing to upticks in patients needing hospitalization: Image

#yyccc is back. We're starting off with the continuation of the public hearing on neighbourhood speed limits, but so far, no one who signed up to speak seems to be on the line...
Oh we've got two people on the phone! #yyccc
Also last night #yyccc unanimously accepted all the council compensation review committee's recommendations. That means they're getting a pay freeze in 2021, among other things: calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…
