Item Detail:

8.     WRITTEN MOTION, Councillor Gomes, requesting, that the Fire Chief Gomes and the Administration report to the Committee on Public Safety and Neighborhoods as to what is the delay in the reconstruction of the downtown fire station which had a three month plan of completion; and further if this project completion continues to be delayed action must be taken to address the housing of Ladder One and Engine Two under the original plan proposed by this Councillor, said plan would be to locate Ladder One at Liberty Street and rent a house camper for the firefighters and place Engine Two on Kempton Street at former Station Three, strong consideration has to be taken in light of the weather conditions changing and Engine Two cannot be kept outside once the inclement weather and freezing temperatures approach which would not be good for the mechanics of that apparatus or in the best interest of response time to the residents living in high-rise units and the business community of the central and west areas of the City.
