Architectural drawings should of been provided. Building department has to review and make recommendations to council on changes required for that location. This would include access and egress which should of included sidewalk.<br /><br />Look a the transition house next door which has a decent façade and sidewalk completed to property line. Just because it is the provincial government the city should not accept less then other cities expect and receive.<br /><br />https://globalnews.ca/news/4617080/kelownas-newest-supportive-housing-complex-about-to-welcome-homeless-tenants/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877493408875483921.post-36854387574297073432019-10-22T15:00:21.849-07:002019-10-22T15:00:21.849-07:00While the Mayor and Council are advocates for the ...While the Mayor and Council are advocates for the Crow's Nest facility and the city did provide the land for it, I believe the project was more of a provincial initiative towards the housing issues in Prince Rupert<br /><br />NCR.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06527403159345234601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877493408875483921.post-8009174942125847902019-10-22T06:09:48.985-07:002019-10-22T06:09:48.985-07:00The city sometimes doesn't act in the city'...The city sometimes doesn't act in the city's best interests. The mayor's project I think it is called the Crows Nest has a camp look that the city is stuck with forever. Look at similar facilities built in the lower mainland, Vancouver or Kelowna. The buildings have an architectural design that is along the lines of a condo development. Pleasing to the eye.<br /><br />The facility was not even required to install sidewalk along the frontage. <br />A sidewalk is a bit of a defense for pedestrians. Would you not want and feel more comfortable walking on a sidewalk. It should of been a condition of the building permit. Nah the city can build one with taxpayer monies when they finally spot the problem.<br /><br />I don't understand how the administration goes after Ministry of Highways all the time but does not take any steps towards safety on their part. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877493408875483921.post-83945546281951230642019-10-21T16:56:34.087-07:002019-10-21T16:56:34.087-07:00City needs to add teeth to their development permi...City needs to add teeth to their development permits (which I believe 7th falls under). Get a completion date and if not done by that time, fine the company. Same should go for building improvement and unsightly properties.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928608040071410122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877493408875483921.post-60231751092666263462019-10-21T15:01:51.163-07:002019-10-21T15:01:51.163-07:00When the city lets these contracts go are there no...When the city lets these contracts go are there no completion dates included in contract along with a penalty clause. I think if a penalty clause is stipulated there also has to be a performance bonus. I am very sure the residents of the affected area would be happy to pay a bonus.<br /><br />I have been told the contractor has had staffing problems. That should not be a City of Prince Rupert problem. If there was a completion date the city should be contacting the bonding company if the job was bonded. It should of been bonded. If the city was responsible for holding up the contractor which can happen the city should do the right thing admit it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
