A
very pleasant evening greeted the Norwegian Star on its first visit to PR in
2010 The
use of Court Yard for Farmers’ Market worked well – but one might fear no one
will go down to 3rd Avenue now |
|
|
But Rupert
made the effort to spruce up |
|
Civic
Pride nagging got some results as this building repainted etc |
|
|
But even
Charlotte’s nagging could not move the owners of these building to do any
maintenance |
|
At
least not a grow op |
|
|
Of Course
--- plywood sheets aren’t only window coverings |
|
The cruise ship passengers
had mostly gone back to ship when this restaurant put up the metal gates to
protect against vandalism --- Drunks hanging out in alleys are an ongoing
problem (see below) – presumably would take more vigilance from store owner –
but also need community programs to get these drunks off the streets (alleys)
|
|
A good
reason for passing the OCP map now was it
did have good presentation of Ridley, Watson etc |
OCP and
legalities of zoning changes |
|
I spoke with planner
and he confirmed changes in zoning of
individual properties in OCP map (see earlier) are merely a statement of
intent – thus changing SQCRD and RCMP
and NWCC to ‘Commercial’ as was done in new map – merely give intent to
change – there will be a subsequent amendment to 2009 Zoning Bylaw ‘sometime
in next 6 weeks’. A sceptic might conclude it will be done in summer when
most no one notices --- More later |
|
|
And a closer
look at properties show this apartment block is on the map – just not zoned
on OCP 2010 |
|
|
|
|
Season
progress |
|
I
like all those ornamental fruit trees in bloom – the arrow is to dead limbs on
the Pine which might be more general in community (Pine Beetle?) ---- and
image below shows the transition from dandelion blooms to seed heads is just
beginning – the end of spring etc |
