Anybody home? The driver of this truck was taken

to hospital, treated and later

released after the vehicle had swerved off the road and rolled down an embankment on
Kalum Lake Dr. north of Terrace Tuesday. A passenger who, unlike the driver, was
wearing a seat belt sustained only minor injuries.

A SLOW,
WINDING PATH.

Terrace city council has four
options for fixing Lanfear Hill to
consider in their current budget
deliberations. Three of those
options could probably be done for
under $20,000 but two would not
likely be accepted by city resi-

dents. The fourth option could

cost as much as $500,000, and
that might not be readily accepted
either. This appears to leave city
aldermen with only one realistic
choice, and because something
has to be done this year that is
the choice they are likely to
adopt. The decision won't be cer-
tain for three to five weeks, when
the details of the 1992 budget are
released. —

Choosing the obvious option
will mean the permanent narrow-

ing of a‘ portion of the roadway
about halfway up the hill to about ._

18 or 19 feet and the reconstruc-
tion of a narrow pedestrian foot-
path. The present 20 kph speed
restriction at the mid-point of the
hill would then become perma-
nent.
The alternatives — really
variations of the same option —
include repairing and widening

the present narrowed section of .

roadway, and eliminating a foot-
path and pedestrians altogether,
or constructing a much wider

pedestrian footpath, narrowing |

the width of the road to a single
lane, and putting electronic traffic
control signals at both the top and

bottom of the hill. This system —

would be identical to that found
on the old Skeena bridge.

The most expensive choice
available to council, the $500,000

option, is to realign the entire -

roadway. and reconstruct the

whole thing... This would: mean’

_widening, straightening out, and

cutting the roadway further into,

the embankment. The outer edge

of the roadway would-have a firm

- footing, unlike that: provided by

the fill that currently exists.

FALSE
INTENTIONS

Terrace RCMP are. advising
local people to be wary of anyone
trying to collect money for the
Terrace Figure Skating Club.

The club has finished its
fund-raising for this year’s figure
skating show, but: there are indi-

viduals fraudulently canvassing

under the guise of-club members.
Anyone approached for money is

verify the canvasser 5 “identity
before offering any donation.
