Erosion
continues

John Motschilnig of 5006
Cole Street, developed several
acres of property at the west end
of the horseshoe area several
years ago and has been com-
plaining to the city ever since.
He says that the Howe Creek
drainage system is eroding his
investment.

Last year he was concerned
about the removal of several
trees from the face of Lanfear
hill, saying it would cause in-
creased erosion due to excessive
run-off, But the city said they
- were only removing ‘‘danger-
ous’’ trees and the work had to
be done.

Renewed complaints this year
says his property is continuing to
be swept down the creek, but the
city disagrees and offers little
sympathy. A committee report
states that, ‘‘Mr. Motschilnig
has developed the area in ques-
tion on his own initiative,’ and
adds that ‘‘the erosion is actual-
ly 6.5 metres away from the
owner’s property line. -

that Motschilnig, ‘‘might con-
sider undertaking remedial work

| Council admits need
for more sidewalks

along this portion of Howe
Creek in consultation with the
City”, was adopted at the June
13 meeting of council.

The need for sidewalks in
many areas of the community,
particularly on Keith Ave., will

‘be considered in future capital

project discussions by the city
thanks to Terrace resident Bren-
da Ottesen. Ottesen wrote a let-
ter to the city earlier this year
complaining of pedestrian safety
on Keith Ave. and the Sande
Overpass.

The letter described problems
caused by the “‘short walk sig-
nal’? where the overpass in-
tersects with Greig Ave., pro-
blems with sidewalk snow re-
moval on the overpass, and the
need for a sidewalk along Keith

Ave, east of Tetrault Street.
Public Works Superintendant
Stew Christensen has since con-
tacted the Ministry of High-
ways, who stated that the length
of the walk signal was the same
as any other four-lane highway
in the province. He also notes
that city crews make every effort
to clear the overpass sidewalk
during the winter, but he also re-
calls an occasion last winter
when the snow melted then froze
and took several days to clear.
Because of the letter, council
says they recognize “the need to
provide adequate sidewalks in
many areas of the community’.
