See my
earlier: ‘who owns pulp mill’ |
|
The good news is
that City owns Lot 2 – Sun Wave still owns Lot 4 (red hatching)--- it remains
unclear (to me) who owns Water Lot referred to as Lot 3 by City – the 2008
Tax sale for roll #9000438 listed Lots 2,5 & AM1( my earlier) Whatever, it does mean city should be
able to negotiate water access to property |

City and
Contracting out – Watson Island & Carpentry |
|
As
stated earlier, it seems PPWC watchmen
out at pulp mill were fired when PR took over Watson Island and new people
put out there--- speculation that this might have been done to ‘assist’ the
next purchaser --- but it could backfire if the City retains ownership very
long as I bet CUPE will want to have the ‘guards’ belong to their union I
mentioned also before that
contractors were building the curbs as a left – turns out when City got rid
of its carpenters it was agreed that all future carpentry would be done by
local Union shops --- thus the framing for pouring the concrete etc
‘contracted out’ to local Union companies |

|
Speaking of
sidewalks, water and concrete |
|
Notice left how the
rains affect the concrete—b at left is
protected by an awning while a is
subject to downpours etc – which is slowly eroding away the concrete --- in
the zone between a microscopic green algae finds habitat (green arrow)
Note above how
apparently water pipe broken inside this car wash (the sound drew my
attention) --- If ‘we’ as a City metered our water to commercial customers
(some we do but not all) then it would be the owners problem as his bill
would rise very quickly --- City will have to rethink ‘free’ water with
climate change |

One of the upsides
of present economy is allows ‘us’ to remove some of the more decrepit housing
in town |
Almost like
some prehistoric monster chomping up a house in some horror flick |

Thursday evening’s
clearing skies led to spectacular fall colors as at cliffs and skate park
practically vibrate color --- unfortunately the same clear skies brought in
the fog today |

Liability Issues??

More on this
later --- but this area should be better signed --- both instructing people
how to use apparatus – and who shouldn’t etc—(there are small signs that no
one reads on each machine) But more
importantly there should be a general statement that if one uses equipment
one does at ones own risk etc – as sign at skateboard park See earlier where cost questioned |
