AB - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, December 3, 1997 City ponders moving farmers Make This A market to behind curling rink CITY COUNCIL is leaning strongly toward putting the planned skateboard park in the farmers’ market location on Davis Ave. Councillors say they see no reason why the market cannot be moved to city- owned land between River- side Park and the curling Tink, “They'd have double the space they now have,” noted councillor Rich McDaniel, noting market activity would no longer have to straddle Davis Ave, Councillor Tim Down agreed, noting there’s elec- ticity and water available there, and Riverside Park also has public washrooms. Councillor Linda Hawes said the market has nearly outgrown the space it now has. “They're having to turn potential marketers away,” : she said. make sense.’’ Hawes added that market - organizers might be able to - work out a deal with the - curling rink to use some in- door space there during the _ summer. ' She said that could open the door to more gallery- type aclivity in conjunction with the market that would ' presently be limited by weather. |" think it’s a real win- ' win for the farmers ' market,” added David Hull. + Council wants to discuss » the matter further with farm- ’ ers market organizers and ' the curling club. * Initial indications are the ' jdea won't be embraced by ' the market. - ' And the biggest objections * could come from skatcboar- ‘ders themselves, who said in ; previous meetings they + don’t want to cause hostility “That doesn’t ‘or bad feelings by displac- ing another user group. * Farmers market officials had suggested the city relo- cate the Kalum St. tennis courts and put the skate park there. But city staff said it could cost up to $100,000 to move the tennis courts. Also being. contemplated why city staff is the purchase of privately owned land near Lower Little Park. Most property owners ap- proached by city staff don’t want to sell, said planner David Trawin. But he said two owners — the Kermode Friendship Society and Thompson Residential — might be in- terested in selling or leasing the city the rear portions of their lots. If acquired, that land would expand the ex- isting farmers market prop- erty to the east, giving the city more land to use there and perhaps allowing a skateboard park and market to co-exist. That possibility is also being pursued by city staff, and councillors said it might be a good deal for the city if the two pieces of land could be acquired for around $50,000 as Trawin sug- gested.
