Patrick Johnstone gives instructions to protesters rallying in Sapperton Park against TransLink plans to build a new, expanded Pattullo Bridge.

TransLink seeks to explain decision Will detail reasons to cities for why it chose six-lane Pattullo Bridge replacement Grant Granger ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

TransLink’s offer to talk about “practical options” for the Pattullo Bridge with the cities of New Westminster and Surrey won’t derail its plans to pursue a six-lane replacement of the aging structure. In a letter to New Westminster council earlier this month, TransLink director for roads Sany Zein offered

to bring all the sides together. But he maintained the 75-year-old structure still needs to be replaced and that’s why a second round of open houses is continuing this week despite the planned three-party summit. “We have been listening to the concerns expressed by council, city staff and the residents of New Westminster and we understand we need to better explain the work we have done so far,” said Zein on Monday. Zein said TransLink has done a lot of analysis over the last six years in coming to its conclusion

and is inviting New Westminster and Surrey to the table to explain its many technical reports on the current structure and all the options that have been proposed. “We arrived at a solution that we think is the best one, but we want to make sure everyone is comfortable with that decision,” said Zein. “We obviously have heard the concerns and the questions being asked: why replace, why this location, what is the function, why are there trucks on the route ... why not a Surrey-Coquitlam connection or a Surrey-Burnaby connection? A lot of technical work

has already been undertaken, and we will be delving into it in more detail if need be.” In addition, Zein said TransLink is willing to work with the city on determining how New Westminster will be able to cope with the increase in traf¿c levels a replacement bridge would bring. TransLink held two open houses last week, including one at the Sapperton Pensioners Hall on Saturday. Another was there Tuesday with a ¿nal one at SFU’s Surrey campus Wednesday, 2 to 8 p.m. Please see TRANSLINK, A3

The mighty Fraser River is Àexing its muscle and its strength could begin to have a signi¿cant impact in New Westminster by the end of the week. Provincial of¿cials reported there was heavy rainfall and rapid snowmelt over the weekend in the B.C. Interior, particularly in the Thompson River basin which contributes approximately 30 per cent of the Fraser’s volume in New Westminster, and to a lesser extent in the upper Fraser River. It typically takes ¿ve to six days for rainfall and snowmelt up north to reach the Lower Mainland. The river was expected to rise to 6.7 metres at the gauge in Mission on the weekend, but it only hit 6.3 metres. “We were quite happy the forecasted high never happened,” said New Westminster emergency director Dave Jones, who had staff out doing dike patrols on the weekend.

TransLink ‘in a difficult situation’ ୅ continued

from FRONT PAGE

On Saturday, about 100 people opposed to TransLink’s plan gathered at Sapperton Park and marched to the hall before it was started where TransLink greeted them with coffee and cookies. “It was a successful event in that we had a really good turnout. I saw a lot of people that I don’t usually see at these type of events, which is great,” said spokesman Patrick Johnstone. He said many of those in the rally wrote their opinions down on the panel boards that outlined TransLink’s proposed options. Johnstone is hoping TransLink’s next report to its board will include the loud voice that the six-lane option is not wanted in New Westminster. He said the proposed Pattullo plans go against TransLink’s own goals such as those outlined in its own Transport 2040. “TransLink is in a dif¿cult situation right now. There’s a lot unresolved about what TransLink’s role is and what TransLink’s future is,” said Johnstone. “They need to think bigger about the whole transportation system and not just plug holes where they see them.” The New Westminster rally organizers also got some support from the other side of the river from the Surrey Citizens Transportation Initiative.

Pattullo protest Residents of New Westminster and Surrey upset by TransLink’s plan to replace the aging Pattullo Bridge with a new six-lane structure held a rally in Sapperton Park Saturday before marching to the Sapperton Pensioners Hall to make their feelings known at an open house hosted by TransLink to explore various options for the crossing. Above, one of the protesters documents some of the signs created for the rally. Left, a young protester munches on a cookie handed out by TransLink ofÀcials at the Pensioners Hall.

Queen’s Park Master Plan, St. Mary’s elementary open houses An open house to update New Westminster residents on the progress of the new school being planned for the old St. Mary’s Hospital site is scheduled for today (Wednesday). It will be held in the city hall foyer from 5 to 8 p.m. with of¿cials from both the city and the New Westminster school district. The open house will provide information on the development process and principles, the Neighbourhood Learning Centre principles, the park development principles, and the timelines for construction. At approximately the same time, 4 to 8 p.m., the city will also be having an open house and barbecue for the Queen’s Park draft master plan in the arena lobby. It was developed after a design charette and public review session on what the public preferred. The input has been re¿ned into a plan giving direction and priorities for implementation, and the city is seeking resident feedback.

“We weren’t seeing anything except for some storm drains backing up.” Current provincial government forecasts for the upcoming weekend are predicting the Mission gauge will peak between 6.7 and 7.3 metres. Any more rain this week and that height could climb. If the gauge starts to nudge 7.5 metres, city crews will move into action. “That [level] takes a wee bit of time to get down here,” said Jones. Large, white 400-pound sandbags have been strategically placed in Quayside, Queensborough and the Braid industrial area ready to be moved into position. Other measures such as inÀatable aquadams to help protect property and closing of transportation routes, may be taken as well. Jones said for the long weekend coming up, the city is looking at putting up warning signs. The Inn at the Quay underground parking was closed on the weekend. Jones said it was designed to be a bit lower than other garages in the area so it could take in water. “If you don’t give the water somewhere to go that’s worse.” He also said it’s better to let

the water recede by itself because pumping the water out of the garage can also create structural issues. Jones said the Larco property between Westminster Pier Park and the River Market is of particular concern and has been for a while. He pointed out some lock blocks are still evidence of the 2007 Àood mitigation program. He cited SkyTrain, BC Hydro and Kruger Products as those who will have to deal with their own property. His department is also keeping in touch with Quayside and Queensborough strata councils to make them aware of their responsibilities. On top of the upper Fraser contributing 60 per cent to the river’s volume in New West, and the Thompson’s 30 per cent, about 10 per cent comes from the Paci¿c Ocean. That’s why, Jones said, New Westminster’s dike patrols are done at high tide. So far, “we’re not having bizarre high tides.” He also said rain can add up to a foot of water to the river’s levels in the city. The city is providing updates on its website (www.newwestcity. ca), and residents can sign up for bulletins. It also has links to provincial websites.

Parking study going ahead Grant Granger newwestnewsleader.com

A $90,000 study on Downtown New Westminster parking will be getting underway next month. According to a report that went before council Monday, Urban Systems has been hired to do a detailed parking study of the Downtown area. It will look at the current parking regulations and supply, project future demand and supply, consult with area stakeholders and develop policies and strategies. Downtown parking has become a contentious issue, especially for the area’s business improvement association. Its members oppose tearing down any part of the Front Street parkade because it will take away too many spaces for retail customers on Columbia Street. The city has proposed tearing down half of the parkade, which the city maintains is underutilized, to improve accessibility to the riverfront over Front Street and the railway tracks. Recent studies, says the report, show a surplus of parking in both public and private facilities are available, but not necessarily close to destinations. Following the data gathering, a discussion paper will be prepared for public consultation by October. A draft report with alternative strategies and preliminary recommendations should be ¿nished by December with a ¿nal report in January. The study will be paid for from the city’s corporate strategic planning budget. The report to council said the study “will help move the City towards achieving the objectives of the Downtown Community Plan and a more livable, successful Downtown.”

Playground funding comes for New West schools Abbott comes to town to give Howay $50,000, Queen Elizabeth $25,000 Grant Granger ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

When Education Minister George Abbott came to F.W. Howay elementary on Thursday morning to announce $50,000 in funding for the school’s playground, parent Joanne Sabinin was ready to go shopping. For several years, Sabinin, Kelli Earle and many other parents at the New Westminster school have been pushing for funds to ¿x up its deteriorating playground. It has

structural damage and safety issues that need to be dealt with. When asked what the money could buy, Sabinin excitedly replied, “We’re going to ¿nd out. I’ve got all the catalogues at home and I’m going to ¿nd out what we can get. That’s our focus.” Earle said the parents have been chipping away slowly, raising funds here and there. “It’s really hard when you’ve only got 140 children in the school,” said Earle. “It’s fabulous. We didn’t think it would ever come.” The money was part of $3.3 million in funding Abbott announced for 80 school

PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Force of nature

LAST WEEK:

So far Burnaby and New Westminster have been spared the full fury of a Àooding Fraser River. Communities in low-lying areas further upstream are mustering volunteers and emergency personnel to shore up dikes and erect walls of sandbags to protect homes and valuable farmland. Some residents have been evacuated. But as the river rushes towards its delta, the rising waters remain a curious spectacle along the Fraser Foreshore and Westminster Quay. Not that of¿cials in Burnaby and New West aren’t worried. The City of Burnaby recently completed work to raise the dike between Byrne and Tillicum roads to comply with the latest Àood level guidelines. The rest of the $6 million project to raise all the dikes from Boundary Road to the New Westminster border will be completed by 2014. The City of New Westminster, meanwhile, has placed giant sandbags in strategic locations along its waterfront, from the Braid industrial area to the Kruger paper mill and Queensborough. Some underground parkades along the Quay have been closed. Both communities are monitoring the river with regular patrols along its shore. Rapid snowmelt in the B.C. Interior combined with heavy rain throughout the spring have swelled the river to its highest levels in 30 years. The last time riverside communities were on such high alert was 2007, but a cool, dry spell diminished the threat. With more rain in the forecast this week, the worst could yet come as high water meets high tides in the Lower Fraser. For most of the year the Fraser is a nautical highway, transporting goods, teeming with salmon that end up on our barbecues. But every once in a while it likes to remind us that it’s also a force of nature.

‘Poverty’ declines, nobody notices VICTORIA – You probably didn’t hear this on TV, the percentage of Canadians deemed “low income” went down slightly in 2010, according to the latest Statistics Canada analysis. This news was delivered in the annual “Income of Canadians” report last week. The share of people who fall below the federal Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) went from 9.5 per cent to 9.0. The CBC couldn’t bring itself to admit any actual improvement, reporting on its website that the number of people with “low income” was about three million, “virtually unchanged from 2009.” Other media outlets followed the unwritten rule that nothing remotely positive must be presented as news, particularly if it reÀects positively on a right-wing government. (Plus they had the Montreal body-parts case to update each day.) This information likely won’t have any effect on the political discussion about “poverty” in B.C. The LICO survey will continue to be used as a measure of absolute poverty, despite the fact that it

isn’t. It’s a relative measure that will always designate the same share of people at the low end of the scale. BC Stats, the provincial equivalent of the federal agency, explained this problem in a special report last year. “To illustrate,” the report said, “take a hypothetical future Canada where every citizen earns no less than $100,000 (and assume there has not been rampant inÀation in the meantime, such that buying power is not dissimilar to what exists today) and millionaires are common. “In that kind of Canada, those at the low end of the income scale (that is, those earning ‘merely’ $100,000) would be considered poor if LICOs were used as a measure of poverty.”

Math aside, that’s the alleged “poverty line” routinely cited by the usual media authorities, like B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair. Sinclair campaigned for years to get the B.C. government to raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10 an hour. They did, in three increments, and on May 1 it increased to $10.25 an hour. As soon as the series of three increases was announced last November, Sinclair called a news conference to announce it’s not enough. To get to the LICO level, the minimum wage should be $11.50 an hour, Sinclair said. Of course, if B.C. businesses ponied up for that, the goalposts would shift again and the same proportion of “poverty” would magically still exist. The B.C. NDP governmentin-waiting continues to demand an “action plan” on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradicated in enlightened places like Manitoba. There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen.

Here’s one. For what may be the ¿rst time in history, we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food. People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much grocery shopping. There are plenty of processed, sugary, fat-laden choices at the supermarket too. But there is also whole wheat bread, rice and fresh or frozen vegetables that are as cheap as anywhere in the world. Given basic cooking skills and some effort, it’s easy to demonstrate which diet is cheaper as well as healthier. Most immigrants know this. Which diet you choose isn’t a function of money, but rather one of education and self-discipline. There is genuine poverty in our society. One of the things that’s needed is a useful way to de¿ne it.

COMMENT

QUALITY, SERVICE & VALUE

The real estate bubble is very large A recent NewsLeader editorial touched on the negative effects of record-low interest rates. This is a contention I’ve argued for a number of years: it is gratifying to see my view mirrored by the public press. The general rationale behind driving down interest rates is that such a policy is bene¿cial to the Canadian economy. Well, that all depends on how and by whom said bene¿ts are de¿ned. It may well be that trade and exports have gained—in this area I am no expert. However, regarding Canadian consumers—my area of interest—it has been and continues to be devastating. The temptation to go on a borrow-and-spend spree has proven irresistible to consumers who view low interest rates as “cheap money.” One consequence is that the ratio of household debt to disposable income has risen by 40 per cent over the past decade: earlier this year it breeched an astounding 150 per cent, and continues to rise. It has now eclipsed the American ratio—an economy which by all accounts remains in deep trouble. The question is this: how will those millions of maxed-out overly indebted Canadians be able to manage once rates begin to rise? Perhaps borrowers might get a glimpse of their future by looking at an especially brutalized demographic: seniors. For decades the mantra was save, save, save and you will enjoy your well-deserved retirement ¿nanced by interest on your savings. Forget that. These days, a retired couple who managed over a lifetime to accumulate $500,000—still a lot of money— might get $10,000 in annual interest. That’s a far cry from the $40,000-$50,000 that in a healthy ¿scal environment they should be earning. Small wonder the government points to the banking industry as an example of ¿nancial health: if the cost of your basic product is nearly zero and even that cost can be effectively clawed back by a plethora of fees and charges, you’d be fat and happy too. And then there is everyone’s favourite topic of conversation: real estate. Canada’s house prices have doubled since 2002. Low interest rates have fuelled a buying frenzy. Add to that a favourable Capital Gains Tax regime and encouragement

of foreign “investors” and the consequence is that the market is now inÀuenced by speculation rather than the needs of ordinary Canadian families seeking a home, more and more of whom are being excluded from that opportunity. No less an authority than The Economist (February 2012) cites concern over an anticipated bursting of the looming Canadian real estate “bubble.” That bubble is generally believed to be somewhere above 30 per cent. My own study, based on information provided by Statistics Canada and the Canadian Real Estate Association, suggests it is approaching 40 per cent. The conclusion is inescapable: the continued policy of low interest rates is as harmful to the best ¿nancial interests of Canadian consumers as was the record high interest period of the early 1980s.

LETTER WRITER MISSED THE POINT Re: Do Kelly street residents care? (Letters, NewsLeader, June 22) As a Sapperton resident, I’m getting annoyed at being accused of NIMBY-ism because I oppose the Elizabeth Fry expansion. Cathy Hansen needs to realize that there are way more pressing concerns than the clients that frequent Elizabeth Fry with regards to expansion. If this project was being proposed for one of the many empty lots on East Columbia, or any other street that this type of development was zoned for, I’m sure my neighbours would have no problem with it. Our main issue is the fact that residential homes are being torn down for of¿ce buildings. We fear this will cause future land expropriation along Sherbrooke. Of course, let’s not forget the extra traf¿c zooming through Kelly and other streets, and more people adding to the parking problems (the new development will not accommodate enough parking). Ms. Hansen, would you want a four-Àoor of¿ce tower adjacent to your single family dwelling? I think not, and 95 per cent of the residents in lower Sapperton wouldn’t either.

WHY A TUNNEL MAKES A LOT OF SENSE I appreciate B.C. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom’s visit with New Westminster of¿cials to hear community concerns with TransLink’s proposed Pattullo Bridge options. TransLink’s June 15 letter “to establish a collaborative process with the cities of Surrey and New Westminster to undertake a comprehensive review” is a wise decision and will provide time to explore tunnel options. Modern day tunnelling equipment is building highway tunnels around the world. Countries such as Norway have almost 1,000 tunnels. An “underground traf¿c system” is a safe and ef¿cient solution in regions where population growth inherently increases traf¿c density and pollution. The features of a tunnel, versus open highways, enables “air scrubbing” technology to mitigate both the localized damage of vehicle exhaust and particulate pollutants, as well as the global effects of such. The Stormont exchange was created 50 years ago (and waits) with a vision for an expressway to connect with the Pattullo Bridge. To make sense of existing infrastructure and create an ef¿cient, community-friendly system for the transport of goods and people, it is past time to bring this vision to fruition. Completion of the McBride tunnel idea with a cut-and-cover from Royal Avenue to 10th Avenue would achieve the long-term ¿nancial and environmental objectives that are increasingly valued by all. The tunnelling plan would include the option to toll commuters Secondly, regional traf¿c Àow, and traf¿c counts throughout the city, would improve dramatically. The ever-increasing regional Àow would be accommodated by the underground system leaving surface roadways for the growing local resident population. That said, the most important factor would be the immeasurable value of the long-term bene¿ts to the environment; tunnelling supports the “liveability” concept we strive to achieve as part of every government decision.

Westminster Savings boss to retire Barry Forbes to leave after 41 years with credit union Grant Granger ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Barry Forbes was talking to one of his management staff shortly after he announced he was retiring as president and CEO of Westminster Savings Credit Union. “When did you start here?â€? the staff member asked. “1970,â€? said Forbes. “1970! I was born in 1970!â€? That’s right, 1970. That’s back when Forbes had long hair and wore a jean jacket with holes in it. Forbes grew up in Edmonton and after Âżnishing high school worked in the Northwest Territories making oodles of money. He made enough for him to pursue a commerce degree from Simon Fraser University, where he was a charter student. (He can still reel off his student number without hesitation.) As graduation neared, he was looking to get a job to Âżnance a trip

to Europe. One of his classmates in his fourth-year marketing class was Westminster Savings CEO Pat Grant, who was taking the class just out of interest. Grant asked Forbes if he’d ever considered getting into the credit union business. “There’s all sorts of people retiring these days, and you should have a look at it,â€? Forbes recalls Grant saying. Forbes was intrigued because he’d always had an interest in Âżnance, but he was also broke. When he asked how much it would pay, he wasn’t impressed with the answer. The wages up north were substantially better. But the phrases “broke,â€? “out of workâ€? and “I can’t pay the rentâ€? kept popping into his head so he went for it. When Forbes joined Westminster Savings, it had 14 employees and $6 million in assets. From a young age in the workforce, he’d been involved in supervising people. He’d been quarterback of his high school football team and class president. Forbes quickly climbed the management ladder and seven years later, at the age

Barry Forbes rose up through the ranks very quickly at Westminster Savings, which had 14 employees when he started and today has 400, as well as $2.7 billion in assets.

of 31, he was appointed president and CEO. “I did expect I could move up pretty quickly. Having said that, if you had asked me if I would start running the credit union at 31, I couldn’t have

predicted that,â€? says Forbes, whose retirement will take effect on Dec. 31. Under his guidance, the New Westminsterheadquartered company has grown to more than 400 employees serving over 60,000 members and customers with $2.7 billion in assets. That makes it the fourth largest credit union in British Columbia with 12 retail branches and leasing ofÂżces in B.C., Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario. In addition, it owns vehicle and equipment leasing subsidiaries. Forbes says the secrets to his success revolve around customer service, treating employees well and marrying the needs of the two groups together. When he was in charge of a 40-man crew in Hay River, N.W.T., he didn’t hire anyone younger than him because he needed people with experience and knowledge that knew more about the jobs than he did. He took the same philosophy to Westminster Savings where he tells employees, “I will not make you a lot of promises, but I will keep all the promises I make.â€? As CEO and president, Forbes developed a no-layoff policy even during severe economic downturns. “Ultimately the economy turns and you need all those people that you didn’t lay off,â€? says Forbes. Although he’s been headhunted by other Âżnancial institutions, Forbes has remained loyal to Westminster Savings because its board has allowed him to participate in other activities. He’s been chair of the Burnaby Hospital and Fraser Health boards, and SFU’s business advisory board. He is also currently a member of TransLink’s board and other community organizations. “I’ve had an opportunity to do many things without having to leave the job,â€? says Forbes, who has a wife and two sons. Now that he’s 65, Forbes feels it’s a good time to step away because he has a great deal of conÂżdence Westminster Savings has people that are capable and can deliver the service. Once his successor is found and in place, Forbes plans to not only continue serving on community boards, but he’s going full circle to what he was doing 41 years ago—traveling and taking university courses.

The melt of a record snowpack in the B.C. Interior and heavy spring rains have combined to raise the level of the Fraser River as high as it’s been for 30 years. While communities upstream cope with Áooding, residents of New Westminster and Burnaby watch the spectacle from Westminster Quay and Fraser Foreshore.

Salmonbellies back to .500 One night after getting back on the winning track, the New Westminster Salmonbellies fell back to .500 on Friday. The Victoria Shamrocks sniped seven consecutive goals in the third period and then held off a late New West charge to down the Salmonbellies 12-10 in Victoria. The ’Bellies had scored the only four goals of the second period to take a 6-4 lead and then extended it to 7-4 before the Shamrocks went on a scoring spree that saw them score seven goals in a span of 10 minutes and 13 seconds. New West managed to score three times in the last four minutes before Victoria salted it away with an empty netter. The loss left New West with a 5-5 Western Lacrosse Association record while Victoria improved to 6-2. Alex Gajic had two goals and four assists while older brother Ilija had a goal and four assists. Mike Berekoff had two of each, Sean Robinson and Jeff Zywicki both had two goals and an assist with the other goal going to Tyler Crompton. The previous evening, the ’Bellies beat the Burnaby Lakers 8-5 at Queen’s Park Arena. The turning point came in the second period on a rarely called penalty shot with the score tied 4-4 and the Salmonbellies shorthanded. The Lakers had just scored twice during a ¿veminute major assessed to Crompton for checking from behind and were looking for more when one of the Burnaby players was caught handling the ball in his own crease. A penalty shot was awarded and Kevin Crowley scored on former ’Bellies backstop Joe Bell to put the Salmonbellies up 5-4. It was the ¿rst of four unanswered goals for New West. Crowley ¿nished the night with two goals and two assists while Robinson notched a hat trick. Ilija Gajic also had a pair along with an assist with Kyle Ross getting the other New West marker. The Salmonbellies will be in Langley to play the Thunder on Wednesday.

Jr. ’Bellies go cruising in Burnaby The New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies went for a Sunday night cruise to Burnaby. The ’Bellies hit the gas pedal hard to begin with in downing the Burnaby Lakers 16-6 at Bill Copeland Arena. New West jumped out to a 6-1 lead after one period, extended it to 9-2 after two before cruising to victory. Drew House and Kyle Dobbie both had six-point performances with House scoring two goals and Dobbie’s all on assists. Brandon Goodwin and Reagan Harding both had hat tricks while Justin Goodwin scored twice. Singles went to Keegan Bal, Jakob Doucet, Chase McIntyre, Alex Lohr, Reid Mydske and Anthony Malcom. Ross Bowman made 40 saves for New West as the Salmonbellies outshot the Lakers 58-46. The Langley Thunder were to visit Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday. The ’Bellies headed into the game in second place with an 11-4 record. They will be in Nanaimo to play the Timbermen on Saturday before playing host to the Port Coquitlam Saints next Tuesday, 8 p.m.

Students at Simon Fraser University campus in Burnaby: new loan rules tie repayment to income and dependents.

Student loan payment rules eased Tom Fletcher tÁetcher@blackpress.ca

The B.C. and federal governments have relaxed some of the rules for student loan repayment, part of an integrated loan program in effect starting July 1. The new repayment assistance plan allows for smaller payments for lower-income students, based on income, number of dependent children and the amount of student debt owed. The program extends the repayment time and may allow forgiveness of the original loan amount. A single parent with two children and an average annual income of $30,000 would see the minimum interest payment on a $20,000 student loan decrease from $228 to zero. A

student couple with two children, combined income of $50,000 and combined loans totalling $40,000 would see their minimum payments fall from $485 to $87. Premier Christy Clark said the new repayment rules will expand the number of B.C. students eligible for relief to 20,000, replacing strict income-based limits for loan repayment that didn’t reÀect loan size or number of dependents. “It’s going to be a really big bene¿t for people who might ¿nd themselves $1,000 over the eligibility line,” Clark said. “Just because you’re $1,000 better off in your gross income doesn’t mean it’s going to be a whole lot easier to pay everything back.” The new repayment assistance plan also provides for forgiveness of some or all of the loan

principal if students have dependents and their income stays low over time. Students with a permanent disability can qualify for full loan forgiveness if they still can’t afford the full loan payment after 10 years. B.C. student loans given out before Aug. 1, 2011 are automatically moved to the new national student loan system effective July 1. Loan recipients are supposed to receive a new agreement with the terms of the integrated loan. People with B.C. student loans in default can qualify for the integrated loan program by making at least six monthly loan payments in a row on their defaulted loan or repaying it in full. twitter.com/tomÁetcherbc

The new Port Mann Bridge is now structurally complete. The last gap in the bridge deck of the new tolled crossing was closed last Thursday and Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom was among the ¿rst to walk across from Coquitlam to Surrey. The electronically tolled bridge opens to traf¿c in December. “Today we crossed the new Port Mann Bridge on foot, but it won’t be long before cars are making the crossing and drivers get to enjoy a faster, more ef¿cient commute,” Lekstrom

said. “It’s going to be a huge bene¿t to the public here in the Lower Mainland.” The steel girders that closed the centre span were lifted and ¿xed in place earlier this week. Concrete deck panels were lowered into position using gantry cranes positioned at the end of the centre span. Soon, crews will start pouring concrete to cast those panels in place. In coming months, crews will place expansion joints between bridge segments, complete waterproo¿ng and pave the new deck to have it ready for traf¿c

later this year. Paving is already underway on the Surrey Approach, where the deck was completed in April. The Coquitlam Approach had its ¿nal segment placed earlier last week, marking another signi¿cant milestone. The deck panels at the bridge’s centre are the last to be placed to complete the bridge to its initial eight-lane con¿guration on opening day. The ¿nal two lanes of the full 10-lane bridge will be opened later in 2013. The old Port Mann Bridge will be dismantled in 2014.

park-and-ride rates Possible end to free parking lots for transit users Jeff Nagel jnagel@blackpress.ca

TransLink may make commuters pay to use many of its free park-and-rides and may raise rates at other paid parking lots at rapid transit stations in response to overcrowding. The strategy is to spur more drivers who can catch a bus from close to their home to do so rather than driving to a park-and-ride, where they board SkyTrain, an express bus or the West Coast Express. Detractors worry the plan will back¿re and push too many of those motorists to ditch transit and drive all the way to work instead. TransLink corporate communications manager Jason Martin gave no details on which lots might see fees imposed or raised, adding a study is still underway and TransLink’s board of directors will vote on any ¿nal plan. “Pricing is certainly one way to help manage demand,” he said. “We want to encourage people on the frequent transit network or areas that are well-served to use transit to get to SkyTrain.” Park-and-rides offer convenience for motorists who don’t want to wait for a bus near their home to get to a transit hub before transferring to an express bus or rapid transit, Martin said,

Some pay lots already charge hefty fees. An Impark-run lot at King George station in Surrey costs $6 to park for the day, prompting many motorists heading there to park for free a couple blocks away along Fraser Highway instead. Others are much cheaper – the public parkade at Bridgeport Station, operated by the casino there in partnership with TransLink, charges Canada Line users $2.50 a day, while the Scott Road SkyTrain station park-andride charges $3. Wood said TransLink needs to guard against unintended impacts, like commuters parking on nearby residential streets to save money. The move will also bring inequities, especially where some motorists heading to a transit hub have less ability to take transit without driving than others. Many commuters criticized the planned higher fees online, saying they will defeat the purpose of park-and-rides and discourage transit use. Twitter user @BuckyHermit called TransLink planners “clueless” for thinking fees will encourage people to take a bus to stations. “Um. If they had a choice, they would!” TransLink says the capital cost of building park-and-rides ranges from $3,000 to $16,000 per space, while the operating costs are $200 to $800 per year.

but added that convenience may come at a price. “A nominal fee at park-andride still represents savings for somebody who might otherwise still be driving downtown to pay for a parking spot.” The parking congestion problem partly reÀects rising transit ridership – more commuters than TransLink expected are using the South Surrey park-and-ride to catch a bus to the Canada Line at Bridgeport. The South Surrey lot is one of 10 free ones across the region and it routinely overÀows despite being recently expanded to 481 stalls. TransLink has said it will begin towing cars illegally parked there June 25. “It’s pretty chaotic,” said Fraser Institute economist Joel Wood, who commutes using the lot and said TransLink is right to reassess the region’s park-and-ride fees to reduce congestion. “The obvious solution to replacing the kind of ¿rst-come, ¿rst-served approach we have now to allocating stalls is to charge for them,” Wood said. “If you put a price in, you’ll want to set the price so the parking lot ¿lls up but there’s no longer cars overÀowing.” Other free park-and-rides include lots in Ladner, Tsawwassen, Walnut Grove in Langley, Sexsmith in Richmond; Phibbs exchange, Park Royal mall, Westmount and Gleneagles on the North Shore.

Samsung store coming to Metropolis Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Canada’s ¿rst store dedicated to Samsung products is coming to Metropolis at Metrotown and it’s all thanks to the 2010 Winter Olympics, says James Politeski, president of Samsung Electronics Canada. As a major sponsor of the Vancouver Games, Samsung had set up several pavilions around town. “We had tens of thousands of consumers come through and it was very loud and clear that customers were amazed and inspired by seeing Samsung products like this,” said Politeski. The 1,600-square foot store is set to open in mid July on the ground level of atrium centre court at the Burnaby mall, by the elevators in the former home of Mappins Jewellers.

It will be the ¿rst such store in Canada or the U.S., Politeski said. Similar stores are open in Malaysia, Mexico, Brazil and the company’s home base of South Korea. Along with showcasing its line of electronics, including its new Galaxy S3 smartphones, tablets and digital cameras, with the help of staff fully-trained in all things Samsung, the store will serve as a source of market research with customers providing feedback on products and their shopping experience. There are obvious comparisons to similar stores showcasing the products of their main competitor, Apple, but Politeski doesn’t see it that way.
