The proposed changes, which were on the agenda at Tuesday's council meeting, include adding the word "intimidation" to the existing public behaviour bylaw.
A second bylaw, which would be called the safe and inclusive access bylaw, has been presented to councillors, though Ward 2's Jennifer Wyness is frustrated with city staff.
"When I had my meeting with administration, they couldn't answer a single question," Wyness told reporters.
