Shows up
every spring to cut trees
What is
distinctive is that it chops up the branches etc in the rig below – too bad City
does not own such a rig (and use it) |
|
While not shown
here – the crocuses are blooming outside Raffles at 5 Corners |
|
|
Another sign
of spring |
|
Someone
broke the window in store below – soon all the shops will have the metal screens
to protect them as at left
|
|
|
Water line
breaks |
|
A
couple days ago the crews were trying to find out where the break was – had
detected it in while doing maintenance – below the streets the manholes
filled with water ---- so had to find where break was --- so here they found
it and repaired Thursday afternoon |
|
|
Following
the Smoke |
|
I
had expected to find some homeowner burring trash |
|
|
Perhaps this
was the source |
|
By the time I got there
– found just a small unattended fire – presumably from salmon berry bushes
cut down I was told by an
official that the City Crews were cutting and burning up here all afternoon
--- one hopes not --- this fire was left unattended --- plus what about those
permits to burn etc?? |
|
|
These 60
foot trucks around town going up alleys etc |
|
|
|
|
Plus there
was one at Overwaitea about the same time |
|
There
should be some sort of Bylaw that trucks over a certain length are not allowed
into these alleys etc But
no we are more worried about routing the ports containers down Wantage Road
and thus off our downtown streets |
|
|
Highway of
Tears |
|
This
would be a better site for the ‘Highway of Tears’ sign than out at Oliver Lake – by then a
female hitch hiker would already have gotten a ride --- an note the Fish
Hatchery sign --- so precedent set fro signs --- And
what about the Civic Center replacing its sign for 10T$? – Something about an
exclusivity contract with Pepsi – more later |

Back to City Politics tomorrow
