‘Helpful’
public servants—and barf |

Merchants
want 2 hour parking – and more
See yesterdays City Council article |
|
|
As
I mentioned yesterday, Gordon-Payne suggested staff bring the issue back
later accompanied with the other parking issues brought up by the 3 merchants
--- the irony is that their reported reasons given staff to extend the 1 hour
to 2 hours was because people waiting for a Doctor’s appointment – or an
accountant’s appointment could not be sure of the 1 hour limit – sounds OK,
but their 2nd ‘gripe’ is the 2T$ fee that have to give City if
they are not able to provide staff AND Customers parking on site --- seems to be lack of
logic here (except pure self interest) |
|
Arrows point to
back hoe --- the pink arrow to bricks – which bystanders bet would simply go
to the dump rather than being recycled |
Epicurean coming
down – a day late but -- |
|
As
I understand it Worksafe BC has said the large equipment can not encroach on
site – or maybe it is only the front half of site (a basement below) -- |
|
|
Mural even
more colourful |
|
Sunny
weather allowed presumably to finish the design – looks good |
|
|
When I
pointed out the dog barf to nearby City Staff |
|
They did not hand
me a phone directory as the ‘helpful’ clerk did yesterday – no this fellow provided
me with the exact phone number I could call to talk to the supervisor ---
again the irony is that the fellow who gave me the phone number is digging up
the bricks on 3RD ---presumably to prevent a law suit by someone
who might trip and fall – this is done every year about this time I might
note – at what cost to City taxpayers? |
|
Later
– it came to me the fellow probably thought I would have a cell phone on me –
and I assumed ‘they’ had a radio in the trucks they just arrived in – Sorry. |
Civil
Servants – or ?? |
|
I also mentioned it
to this ‘gardener’ – who looked at me with disdain and went on clipping the
hedge that must have grown at least 20 mm since she last did the clipping |

Couldn’t
