Municipal vote:

Issues lie in wai

WHATEVER ELSE may surface during their three year terin
of office, there are a number of unresolved items awaiting the
winners of the Nov, 20 municipal election.

Below, a brief summary of some of those issues:

Howe Creek green belt.

PLANS TO to develop two par-
cels of land: adjacent to Howe
Creek have sparked protests, peti-

tions and the formation of a_

Green Belt association.

Parks policy

LINKED TO the Howe Creek
controversy is the whole question
of parkland in the city.,

A policy. adopted cuarlier this
year gave developers the option
of giving up five per cent of the
land they planned to subdivide or
making an equivalent cash pay-
ment to the city.

Money obtained under the latter
option would be used fo finance
park development in the city.

‘There are at present 16 desig-
nated parks (including trails) in
the clty, but less than a third of
the area they cover has actually

Trucks in residential areas

THE LATEST complaints about
loaded trucks using residential
sirects and commercial trucks
parking overnight in residential
areas have yet to be dealt with.

suggested adopting. a by-law
which banned vehicles with a
gross weight of more than
5,500kg. from all residential
streets- and property except for.

A COMPOSTING PROJECT at the local landfill, undertaken by Uplands Nursery, has had its
problems because thoughtless people have been throwing non-compostable materials on to the
pile. However, the project is a step in the right, recycling direction. The whole question of reducing
the amount of garbage going to the landfill is one of the issues the new council will have to tackle.

Recycling

ALTHOUGH THE recycling
depot died of cash starvation
nearly a year ago, its ghost will
come back to haunt the city be-
fore the new council’s termi is up.

That's because -the. provincial.
government requires the regional
district to come up with a waste
management plan by 1995,

That plan, which would in-
corporate recycling, must show
how communities will cut in half
the amount of garbage they dump
into landfill sites by the year
2,000.

The Terrace recycling depot
was kept alive through to the end
of 1992 only by the city paying
the rent on the building, a
$23,000 subsidy.

With that cash flow stopped and
unable io make money on any of .
the products it was recycling, the -
depot closed Dec. 16 last year.

Recently, the city announced il
would starl enforcing a by-law
which limits to three bags the
amount of garbage that can be put
out for collection each week.

The get-tough policy on collec-
tion is an effort to do something:
about the increasing cost of gar-
bage collection and disposal, and
to encourage residents to become
more conscious of the need to fol-
low the three Rs — reduce, re-use
and recycle, ;

And unless the amount of gar- _
bage being hauled to the local ~
landfill is reduced, it will be full ©
within the next 6 years,

However, that by-law does not
refer to parking on residential
properties.

owners both protested, the latter .

Water supply

UNLESS THE province comes
-up with half the $1.2 million cost,
the city will not proceed with
plans to augment its water supply.
That’s the position council has
adopted and, having so far come
up dry in Victoria, the water well
project remains in limbo. .
The well water is needed to bol-

ster the city’s present water sup

- plies which cannot keep up with

summer demand,

And in the long term the extra
water will be necessary to- meet
the increased demand that will
come with continued population
growth.

The well would be located at
the comer of Frank St. and
Hwy16 West.
