Plans to reconfigure Second Avenue sometime in the future, will continue moving forward following approval Monday towards seeking out some grant funding for the proposal by Prince Rupert Council.
The Grant funding request was part of a report for Council related to their larger ambitions towards the City's Active Transportation Network Planning.
There was no formal presentation towards the Grant request, the City Manager noting during the introduction of the Report, that staff were ready to answer any questions that Council may have to the topic,
Council members however, had no questions towards the Grant proposal for staff for Monday's session.
Mayor Brain did make note as to how he views the initiative as one which would be a huge project for the community, the Mayor following up on his observation by asking the City Manager if the Ministry of Highways had any position on the Second Avenue reconfiguration plans.

In Reply, City Manger, Mr. Rob Buchan noted that the City is still working with the province towards the proposed reconfiguration.
"We are still working with them, it's all positive. We're moving forward with expectations that the concept that we've worked out with them thus far, will be approved conceptually in the near future"

Is this going to be another four years of councillors staying silent accepting staff reports. The city deserves better. The council meeting are also a forum to enlighten the residents of what is being proposed. Four more years of good job let’s get the meeting over with?

ReplyDelete"It could have been you at the council table but ur too afraid."
ReplyDeleteThat's a tired old trope to try to counter diversity of opinion: run for office or shut up, and in this case a bit nasty by alleging fear without any factual basis. Citizens are entitled to have their own views and to express them. Whether they choose to run for office is separate matter entirely and up to them.
Dear Word Salad,
DeleteThe only thing we are afraid of is your grammar.
