qT ee eines, ed Daal A8 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, March 5, 1997 “Move into the 21st century” City wants more sidewalks THE DAYS of new subdivi- sious being built without sidewalks may soon be over. City councillors tumed a _ proposed bylaw setting out new subdivision and devel- opment rules back to city staff to be tightened up. The bylaw would have re- quired sidewalks on arterial and feeder slreets, but not on more residential streets. Several coutcillors said they wanted to see the city require more sidewalks on residential streets. “'T think we should at leas! have a sidewalk in the residential areas on the sunny side of the street,” said Tim Down. *'I think we should move into the 21st century with sidewalks in our community.’ Councillors Linda Hawes and David Hull-agreed with Down in wanting to see more sidewalks when new sulivisions are built, “You see hundreds of people walking in the eve- ning, but half the streets don't have sidewalks,’” Hull said, Planner David - Trawin noted more sidewalks also increase city budget costs to clean the: sidewalks. He added they may not be worthwhile: . in— cul-de-sacs, for example. Health councils poised to take on new duties IT'LL BE very much a case of business as usual when two northwest community health councils become offi- cial and take over health care facilities. Members of the Terrace and Area Health Council and the Snow Valley Health Council in Stewart named last week by health minister Joy MacPhail either sat on previous versions of the councils or are active mem- bers of existing health care societies. So when the existing groups in charge of local health care -— Terrace Regional Health Care Society and the Stewart hos- pital board — disappear the new bodies will have expe- rienced peaple on board. The Terrace and Area Health Council becomes responsible for Mills Memorial Hospital, the ex- tended care facility Ter- riceview Lodge and Os- borne house — all of which afe now managed by the health care society. And Stewart’s health council takes over from the body running that com- munity’s hospital. The intent is to have the new bodies in operation by April 1 or as close as pos- sible to that date. The Terrace and Area, © Health Council will have a budget of approximately $18 million. Named to the Terrace council are chairman Larisa Tarwick and Sadie Parnell, Norman Read, Maria Far- tell, Vera Henry, Nirmal Parmar, Peggy Julseth, Kathy MacDonald, Robert Kelly and Margaret Kuk- kola. There’s space left on the board for a representative of: health care unions and for a local physician. Former Stewart mayor Garry Hubbard is the chair of the Snow Country Health Council and with him are Chantal Helie, Stewart mayor Andy Burton, Rita Anderson, Frank Annitage, Loma Retza, McCormack, Henriette Vil- lencuve and Robert Simp- son. Hubbard said the new Stewart council will con- tinue on where the hospital board leaves off. ‘We already have every- thing in one place,’’ said Hubbard of Stewart’s health centre which contains doc- How are we doing?

Much the same can be said for the out-going Ter- race Regional Health Care Society which was created in 1988 out of the two bodies which ran Mills Memorial Hospital aud Ter- raceview Lodge. That regional society last week voted to transfer its powers and authority to the “ THE new health council. All of the council appoint- meats were made by bealth minister Joy MacPhail,: a switch from carlicr plans that called for local govern- ments to ‘appoint some members and for local elec- tions to choose others. And the councils will be reporting to MacPhail, a big difference from the outgo- ing socictics which were lo- cal bodies reporting to a to- cally named board. And director of enginecr- ing Stew Christensen said there’s the danger that if sidewalks and other new de- velopment rules make de- velopers’ costs too high they will look to Thornhill in- stead. - ' " Requirements to have sidewalks might increase the cost of each lot in a new subdivision by more (han $1,000, eee “You make it too high and too stringent, people just go across the river,”’ Christensen said. - Down contended that lot prices are still substantially lower than the rest of the province, and thal there’s room for a bit of an in- crease, Council will table the bylaw for a couple of weeks lo take a more detailed look at it, while staff prepare estimates of what more stringent sidewalk rules would do to development costs, The proposed bylaw calls for more expensive concrete sidewalks and curbs only in commercial areas, with other areas gelting cheaper asphalt sidewalks. - | SUNDAY": MONDAY TUESDAY. “WEDNESDAY THURSDAY, FRIDAY’ * SATURDAY © 1 Youth Ambassador Youth Soccar Ter.
