Council open to ideas on Christy Park clubhouse

TERRACE — Following a rec- ommendation of the Advisory Parks and Recreation Commit- tee, city council has passed a resolution which will at long last allow a service building at Chris- ty Park. The building could pro- vide space for change rooms, washrooms, storage and a meeting room, and considera- tion for the project is open to anyone submitting a proposal. The resolution however, will not permit the use of a recreational lounge licence. in the building and this may restrict the number of proposals.

At its Nov. {£4 regular meeting, council approved the construction of Phase II of the Terrace youth Soccer field development, This allows for the construction of another two soc- cer fields, but that resolution was conditional on Public Works ability to solve a drainage problem on the east side of the park. This factor could also af- fect the rush of building pro- posals, — .

According to superintendent

of public works Stew Christen- sen, the drainage problem is related to Howe Creek and may not be that easy to fix. Christen- sen says that in the distance Howe Creek travels the northern boundary of the park — 750 metres — there is a drop of only 0.9 metres and because of this the creek can’t handle runoff water in heavy rains. One solu- tion; he says, would be to replace the creek with culvert in- stalled in a straight line through the park.

He says this wouldn’t increase the slope, but it would help because the distance would be shortened to 450 metres and the flooding problem would be solv- ed — the creek would be under- ground and out of sight. This solution may not be popular with naturalists, he says, but the only other solution may be dik- ing and this idea has been re- jected due to the high cost. It appears as though we haven’t quite reached the end of the rocky road to a completed park. .
