Garon in
Mayor’s seat --- her first time to Chair meeting |
|
The way things areA very long meeting
where concerns of Graham Avenue view lots absorb much of meeting--- That they were
able to dominate the meeting in contrast to say a Lothar who might present
equally significant issues (though not as urbanely), but would have been
whisked away after a few minutes |
|
More on this later in week |
Privilege
part 2 |
|
I
will argue later that the ‘new’ Zoning Bylaw & DPA is an act of privilege
by the downtown merchants --- or the majority of Council representing their
true constituency Rushing
it through is the sign of ‘how things are done’ |
|
Graham
Avenue chance to air grievances against a neighbour’s hypothetical plan to
subdivide his lot --- who let that mere fisherman in the neighbourhood
anyways? More
later |
A class issue?
|
|
‘Don’t
mess with our view by letting commoners live in our neighbourhood and
potentially interfere with our sight-lines’ Oh
yah, it was a ‘discussion’ of 25x100 building lots that cloaked this venomous
outburst of privileged class |
|
|
Back
to more mundane stuff |
|
Meeting
did have its real business too – like the 750T$ new fire truck --- and the
chances of new bike trial interfering with gun range More later |
|
|
Priorities |
|
As
in past it is often Gordon Howie’s summary that gives more information than
the meeting about what is happening--- Thus
Northern Health Meeting Wednesday And
what is a ‘service capacity review’? And
more Green Team -- + water Front planning |

|
Airport
Viability due in September |
|
Ditto
the Road to Airport Study More

Zoning and Visions
|
|
Speaking
of Visions – Thorkelson got a motion through to send one or 2 councillors to
Ottawa to talk to Minister of Fisheries about UFAWU’s vision of what things
should look like on north coast --- when asked about costs—‘only hotel room
rental’ --- oh they are going to fast while in Ottawa??? etc --- The
image left is the way Planner wants citizens to ‘vision’ Prince Rupert – not
just the built up down town --- but whole island etc |
