Public open houses about the future of the Pattullo Bridge were jammed last week and discussions were lively. And for some New West residents, there is ‘cautious optimism’ that a solution that meets local needs will be found.

A new eatery in New Westminster got its wish for support from city council to extend its hours even though council recently rejected a similar request from an establishment that’s been around for nearly 20 years. Brown’s Socialhouse, which opened last month in the Brewery District development on East Columbia Street, asked to extend its closing from midnight to 1 a.m. According to a city staff report, Brown’s is hoping the move will attract shift workers from Royal Columbian Hospital as well as other visitors. Council approved the request Monday with Coun. Betty McIntosh, who lives in the area, and Coun. Chuck Puchmayr opposed. McIntosh said the city should be moving cautiously since the establishment just opened for business. “I didn’t think they’d move this quickly on changing their hours,” said McIntosh.

OPEN HOUSE FOR NEW REGULATIONS FOR GRADE TRANSITION IN LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS Date: June 25th, 2013 Time: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Where: City Hall Foyer The Development Services Department is undertaking a review of Zoning Bylaw regulations with the aim of reducing grade transition conflicts between low density residential properties which include single detached dwellings and duplexes. Staff has prepared draft bylaw regulations for review, comment and feedback from residents and stakeholders. Primarily, the proposed changes are recommending that the Zoning Bylaw be amended by 1) adding regulations which would limit the maximum height of retaining walls; and 2) revising the NR-1, NR-2, NR-3, NR-5 and RT-1A districts to use existing grade, rather than finished grade when determining whether floorspace would be classified as a basement or a cellar space.

Doesn’t address issue of trucks: Puchmayr ⫸
continued from frOnt page
New Westminster Environmental Partners (NWEP) spokesman Patrick Johnstone said TransLink should be thanked for going back to the drawing board. “It’s much better than the first consultation,” he said. “So far so good, I have cautious optimism. I really think they’ve listened.” Johnstone called for the final result not to increase traffic in New Westminster. But he also pointed out that although residents may want to find a magic solution that decreases traffic, the process is about dealing with the Pattullo’s structural problems and not about reducing the city’s traffic burden. Reena Meijer-Drees, a NWEP past president, said while it’s clear TransLink is listening—“That’s a good thing”—it is missing one big goal which is to evaluate solutions for either holding the line or reducing the traffic. That objective, she said, “is buried in there with weasel words like
livability. Any bridge “Then you’ve got option that doesn’t do that a future that will last doesn’t fulfil the needs of longer than what you’re our city.” projecting at 40 to 50 She said even a four-lane years,” said Crosty. “I replacement of the Pattullo was very pleased to see Bridge would add traffic to the options were all on New Westminster because the table, the number of the lanes would be wider people that were there and more attractive to and the comments that drivers. were made.” One option that was Despite all the cautious recommended for further optimism, Coun. consideration was a Chuck Puchmayr was connection between disappointed the options Surrey and Coquitlam did not include a direct with a three- or four-lane connection between the rehabilitation of the tolled Port Mann Bridge Pattullo.

Even refurbishing the Pattullo Bridge you’re going to have a huge amount of trucks coming from Surrey and Delta,” said Puchmayr. “At the end of the day this is a decision [New Westminster] won’t be making, it will be TransLink. How much of that is upfront and how much is a really credible option?” Coté agreed with Puchmayr that a SFPR-Port Mann connection is a big piece of the puzzle that is missing, but understands why it isn’t part of this process. “One of the problems TransLink has is that it wouldn’t be a TransLink project it would be a Ministry of Transportation project, and although [TransLink] might support it, it isn’t something they can do anything about,” said Coté. “They can’t put [the Pattullo Bridge] on hold and wait for an answer or no answer [on SFPR].” TransLink declined to comment on how the consultations were going until after they have been completed.
C99 shuttle bus axed by TransLink Queensborough community bus route, lowest performer in network, to be discontinued grant granger
ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
They didn’t use it, so they’ll lose it. In September, TransLink will discontinue its little-used C99 community bus route through Queensborough. The bus, which runs hourly during midday,
runs from Port Royal to the East Richmond community of Hamilton via Queensborough Landing. The route was the lowest performing route in the network, said TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel. According to a TransLink report, the route cost the transportation authority more than $10 a customer in 2012, which was actually an improvement from $15 in 2010. An average of 30 passengers boarded the bus daily, about six
an hour with a peak passenger load of two riders. To compensate for the loss, TransLink will tweak the C98 service which connects Queensborough and East Richmond to the 22nd Street SkyTrain station to include Queensborough Landing, said Zabel. He also pointed out Queensborough residents will also have access to the larger No. 104 and 410 routes that also run through Queensborough. “There’s probably a number of
reasons why it is low performing, but having the C98 with some changes you’re still going to have some coverage,” said Zabel. “By rerouting hopefully you can increase opportunities to increase ridership to the Queensborough Landing area.” While the C98 route is a lowperforming route it carries five times the passengers daily at a cost of $3.84 per person. Another community route in New Westminster, C4, which runs from Uptown to New
Westminster station, ranks about two-thirds down TransLink’s list of 218 routes with 500 daily boardings at a cost of $3.29 per passenger. Zabel says having a strong anchor at each end, most frequently a SkyTrain station, usually makes a route successful. Although the potential changes had been submitted to city council earlier this year, they did not raise any concerns at Queensborough Residents Association meetings.

Police had no concerns about later hours ⫸

“I’ve seen how busy it is. You can hear it across the street because they are amplifying their music.” She is also concerned there won’t be enough parking because after the parking meters are off the clock in the evening the street stalls in the area are plugged up by RCH night staff. “Let’s get through three months to so see how it’s working before extending their hours,” she said. One reason Puchmayr cited for his opposition was council’s decision in December to reject an application from Stefanos Restaurant, which has been operating Downtown since 1994, to extend its hours from 1 to 2 a.m. In that case, the city received 31 letters opposed to the application saying it already generated too much noise. “I don’t feel it’s fair to existing businesses in the street,” said Puchmayr. “That’s too much too soon for that Sapperton area.” Coun. Bill Harper said at the time that extending Stefanos’ hours didn’t fit into the city’s

vision for Downtown. “It’s not an entertainment district. We want to build a more family oriented Downtown.” At Monday’s council meeting, Harper said with the Brewery District emerging, Sapperton is changing. “This is a different type of environment that we’re going to see develop over the next several years,” said Harper. “The crowd is a food crowd, not a bar crowd … I don’t think it’s going to cause problems in the neighbourhood.” Coun. Jonathan Coté said when he went to the recent opening of the TransLink head office, he noticed the restaurant was full “and that’s good to see. I’m comfortable as a business organization [Brown’s] will be good community partners.” After making its application, the restaurant received one
letter of support and one of opposition. Greg Bell, who lives on Alberta Street, wrote it would be wise for the city to let the restaurant get some history under its belt before giving it an extension because the area is already experiencing “a massive increase” in traffic. He was also concerned about noise being generated from intoxicated patrons and amplified music on the patio. The staff report said it didn’t anticipate residential streets would be used for parking because in addition to the metered street parking there are available spots in the building’s underground lot. It also pointed out amplified music is not allowed after 10 p.m., and the police had no concerns about the extension. ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

City and Hyack to work together for ‘first time ever’ But it ‘doesn’t mean there won’t be changes in city support’
: p o t S Next and Beans s n e e r G
CHOICEquotes
ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
Coun. Jaimie McEvoy We have some disagreements here that we haven’t fully talked out.
The Hyack Festival Association will get some help from the city on developing a strategic plan for the next three to five years. In doing so, however, councillors raised questions about the funding it provides to the organization. A request from Hyack to have two councillors and a city staff member participate in the process was approved Monday. But Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, who initially wasn’t going to support the motion, said there has been some disconnect between council’s funding and Hyack. He questioned the value the city is getting in return for its funding. Puchmayr said he’s been approached by other groups with concerns about funding “and who gets what.” He said an extensive review of the overall delivery of funding to festivals is needed, and he
wasn’t alone in that concern. “We have some disagreements here that we haven’t fully talked out,” said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy. Coun. Bill Harper, however, said being involved in Hyack’s strategic planning would be a good process to go through and could help reconcile a number of issues. “This is about an organization that is attempting to transform and rebrand itself, and in a sense rebrand the city and they’ve asked us to participate for the first time ever,” said Harper. “It’s like a new beginning in the sense the Hyack board wants to engage the city in the process. That’s wonderful. That’s an opportunity, they’ve opened the door and we should walk through it.”
Grant Granger
City manager Lisa Spitale said council recently instructed staff to look at festival funding, to provide clarity and an initial meeting to discuss the topic was scheduled to take place this week. Harper and Coun. Jonathan Coté will represent council on the Hyack committee. In eventually supporting the request for council participation, Puchmayr said he didn’t want to deny council the need to be involved in Hyack’s planning, but that doesn’t mean there won’t eventually be changes in the way the city supports the association. Harper said Hyack hopes to begin its discussion soon so it can develop a strategic plan by early fall.

PuBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9
ADRIAN RAESIDE:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Long and short A 12-year-old boy was seriously injured while longboarding near his home in east Maple Ridge on Saturday. According to police, he was riding down a steep hill, lying on his stomach, and rammed headfirst into the side of a moving car. He was wearing a helmet. The boy is the fifth longboarder in Metro Vancouver in as many weeks to be seriously injured in such a collision. All this has neighbours and safety advocates calling for better traffic controls or new rules banning longboards on our streets. Last year the District of North Vancouver joined White Rock, West Vancouver and the City of North Vancouver in banning longboarders on some streets, because they go too fast down hills with, essentially, no brakes. Now North Van district may ban longboarding on all streets. Will that stop riders? Can such bylaws be effectively enforced? Will they reduce injuries, prevent deaths? To outlaw this increasingly popular recreational activity would be a knee-jerk reaction, as is blaming parents for the recent collisions. The latter can’t be standing on every street corner, hovering over their young. Kids need room to grow. Sometimes they make errors in judgement. By the way, the longboarders injured in West Vancouver were 21 and 23 years old. However, parents must teach their kids safety, just as they would for rollerblading, riding a bike or a standard skate board – stay to the right, obey traffic signs and signals. Show them where it is safe to ride,. We doubt any city is going to designate a hill solely for longboarders, stacked with hay bails at the base, anytime soon. In the meantime, let the latest incidents serve as a lesson in awareness. —Black Press

Separating the city’s heart and head If New West has a heart, it’s Downtown. It’s where this city began. It’s where the great stories are. It’s where the Royal City was baptized by fire—the Great One—in 1898, then rose like a phoenix from the ashes. It’s where Columbia Street became the region’s Golden Mile in the ’40s and ’50s, glowing with neon signs and teeming with shoppers. The narrative of Downtown is so compelling, enriched by the fact that post-1960s, it went into a long slide and now, finally, is rising once again. If Downtown were a movie star, it’d be John Travolta, or perhaps Mickey Rourke. Say Downtown is the heart, and people get it. But what about the head? The city’s practical side? While we’re caught up in the story of Downtown, its trials and tribulations, ignored is that other centre of commerce in the city where most of the day-to-day shopping goes on. Uptown. We don’t talk much about Uptown. Really, what is there to talk about? It’s just sort of there,
Chris Bryan editor@newwestnewsleader.com
ya know? Like a kid brother you tolerate. Or that spot on the kitchen wall you don’t see any more. But Downtown… you could talk about the city’s vision to re-connect Columbia Street to the river and all the many obstacles—in a movie they’d be the villains—that stand in the way like the rail line, the parkade, the truck route. You could speak of recovering that Golden Age captured in photos of Columbia packed with Model Ts and streetcars, and later, beefy, curvaceous Buicks and Caddys. Or you could talk about how, suddenly, urban living—even with a little grit—is popular again. Meanwhile, on an average weekend, I take the kids to the library in Uptown. We go to Kin’s in Royal City Centre.

London Drugs. TD Bank. Every once in a while we hit the dentist at the mall. White Spot. Starbucks. Tim Hortons (at month end). Last weekend we splurged for those marvellous maple swirl ice cream cones from Anny’s Dairy Bar, died, went to heaven then woke up and looked around. Yep, still in Uptown. Yawn. But in time and money, it adds up. That’s not to say we don’t go Downtown. Just not often. Nor do we spend much. We go to the new Pier Park. River Market. But otherwise, we’re not shopping. And there’s nothing routine about our visits. The sidewalks of Uptown near Sixth and Sixth are always busy. And here’s a little-known fact: that quiet, dark cave known as Safeway at Royal City Centre was until recently the second-busiest Safeway in western Canada. I asked Bart Slotman, the biggest Uptown booster (his company owns Westminster Centre), what kind of traffic they do at the little London Drugs/Save On mall. He says it has 8,000 ‘unique visitors’ a

day, on average. And that’s not tapping me, my wife and my two sons on the head when we cross threshold. It only counts when a cash register rings. I used to think it’d be a good idea to move the main library Downtown. And maybe City Hall, too. Now I’m not so sure. With our hills and with our traffic, Uptown still makes more sense for most of us. Downtown or Quayside residents might be saying ‘hey, I shop Downtown a lot,’ and it’s true there are more options than ever for groceries and services. But it’s not the city’s shopping “centre” by a long shot. It’s our heart and—if you love downtowns like I do—it’s the seat of romance, and you hope it will one day be home to more great restaurants, cafés and a vibrant street life. We all need a little of that, from time to time. Meantime, most days I’ll probably see most of you at Sixth and Sixth, not far from those two dollar stores. Chris Bryan is editor of the NewsLeader.

COMMENT Let’s put limits on truck travel Can we please get these trucks off of Royal Avenue? When I moved in, I believe it was zoned as a residential neighbourhood. When I moved in there was not this many trucks going by each and every minute. When I moved in the Port Mann was not a toll bridge and did not force all this traffic to now use the Pattullo Bridge. When I listed my apartment last time, every single prospective buyer was aghast about the trucks sitting right under my window spewing exhaust. If we can’t get these trucks off of Royal Avenue immediately, can we please blacktop the road with the same kind of quiet asphalt they used by the Golden Ears Bridge? This would smooth out the road and perhaps dampen the sound of all of these thousands of trucks clanging and banging their way up Royal Avenue. The road in front of my building is very uneven and has many grooves and now that the city has put the new pipes underground the road is like a bumpy patchwork quilt. This is causing every truck without cargo to make thunderous noise while the chains and wheels bounce over the bumps, and bang and clang along. If we can’t get these trucks off of Royal, can we limit the times they’re allowed access to Royal? For example, not on weekends, and only during specified hours? It would be nice on a Sunday morning to sleep past 7 a.m. and wake up naturally. For that matter it would be nice to have my windows open and perhaps even sit on my patio. For that matter it would be nice to even watch television without having the volume at the highest level. For that matter it would be nice to ditch these asthma inhalants that I had to purchase because of all of the diesel that I breathe in each and every single day whether I want to or not. I would like to be a part of the solution so I am giving consent for the city to use my tax dollars to fix this road. S. Tanner New Westminster
Let’s soLve the traffic probLem On May 23 at noon, my daughter came to pick up her cat, which I was cat-sitting. She wasn’t here for long before she commented that it was noisier than when she was living with me. We are on the 16th floor. I told her that it is due to the traffic from trucks and cars, and this is why we are complaining. More traffic=more pollution. Who gets the brunt of this? None other than New West residents. Should we call Royal Avenue and Braid Street the Royal Highway and Braid Highway? Some questions to our “friendly” neighbours: How would you like to live on a street where thousands of cars and trucks pass by everyday, 24/7 and spew pollutants in the air? Where safety is a major concern because of heavy traffic? Where your taxes may increase due to road repairs caused by increased pounding of trucks and cars everyday? Where you have to find alternative routes to avoid the traffic caused by vehicles, the majority of which are not from New West, just to go home? What percentage of New West residents use the Bailey and the Pattullo bridges? On May 31, I was sitting on my sofa with my balcony door open. I have an air purifier by my balcony door. All of a sudden, I heard a noise and it was my purifier. I told myself— it’s fresh air that is coming into my home. I was mistaken—it was polluted air which my purifier sensed. I looked out my balcony and saw a truck pass. I closed my balcony door and my purifier slowed down which meant my air is clean. Just to test it, I opened my door again and it went full blast. I opened and closed it a few times and the same thing happened. What happens to homes that do not have an excellent air purifier to clean up the air in their homes? We have things in our homes that affect the quality of air in our homes, such as carpets, curtains, etc. We do not need any additional pollution from the trucks and cars passing through New West, especially residential areas.

couLd they have responded sooner? Re: Deer that walked through New Westminster dies (NewsLeader, June 12) This is a real shame. I saw the deer shortly before 4 p.m. on Third Avenue by Fifth Street. At that time, a man was following the deer from a distance, and was on the phone with police keeping them updated on the deer’s location. A few minutes later, a police officer in an undercover car approached the man’s daughter, another walker and myself and told us “We’ve been in contact with the conservation department” and said, “they said they weren’t coming out to help.” In the article, it states convervation officer Dave Cox said he and another officer “responded to a call in the evening of a deer wandering near Royal Avenue.” But based on my first-hand experience, the police and conservation officers were aware of the deer long before the evening.

Ever since the north end of the Queensborough Bridge has reconfigured it has been a nightmare. The traffic is the worst it’s been in the 25 years I have lived here. The tolls on the new Port Mann Bridge have caused chaos. We have one way in and out, basically. The City of New Westminster could have put an overpass above Stewardson Way paid for by an advertising sign company, but they said the signs would distract traffic. We have kids living down here that have to walk forever to get to school, never mind people living up the hill working at Krueger paper mill, the railroad and Fraser River Pile and Dredge.

Sixteen more accused rioters are now charged nearly two years after the night of downtown mayhem that followed the Vancouver Canucks’ 2011 Stanley Cup final loss. A total of 229 people have now been charged with crimes including participating in a riot and 149 of them have pleaded guilty. So far 104 have been sentenced and 32 got jail sentences ranging from 30 days to 20 months, while others have conditional sentences including house arrest. The Crown appealed two sentences seeking stiffer prison terms. Prosecutors wanted the 90-day jail term served on weekends increased to six months for Delta rioter Lincoln Kennedy Williams. The B.C. Court of Appeal upheld the original sentence but confirmed imprisonment is appropriate for convicted rioters.
“He was one of the ringleaders in vandalizing, overturning, and burning the GMC truck at the ‘live site’ on Georgia Street,” according to the appeal court. While his participation in a “frightening, violent spectacle of wanton destruction” was “shockingly anti-social” behaviour was “shockingly anti-social”, the top court also noted it was out of character and the high school grad confessed to police the next day. A 60-day intermittent jail term was also upheld for Vancouver resident Alexander Keelty Peepre, who cooperated with police after an anonymous tipster fingered him as one of the rioters. Although critics predicted the push for justice against rioters would clog the court system, Crown counsel spokesman Neil MacKenzie said he’s not aware of any case-flow problems. “There have been a significant number of guilty pleas so there’s been significantly less court time required than if the matters had been set for trial,” he said.

Shortcuts to a lush lawn There are one million acres of lawn across the country. Many homeowners aspire to having a lush, green lawn as the showcase of their properties. The front lawn can make a statement and indicate to passersby the property owners’ personalities and design preferences. Lawn care takes some dedication and hard work, but there are certain ways to cut down on the amount of effort required to maintain a landscape. By employing a few different shortcuts, you can have a healthy, lush lawn without spending all of your free time cutting the grass or pruning the trees.
Wake up and water
Best selection of succulents great outdoor colour - unique planters and baskets...come on down and grow with WIG!
E YN BR
Save some time on lawn maintenance with a few shortcuts, such as letting your grass grow a little longer.
T
Watering in the early mornings saves time and energy in the long run by fostering a tougher, more drought-resistant lawn. If you water early in the day, less water will be lost to evaporation. Limit watering to a few times per week, and less if you have had adequate rain. Avoid watering at night, which can expose the lawn to bacteria and attract insects.
Stop weeds at the start Weeding is one of the most time-consuming parts of maintaining a lawn. Weeds can proliferate throughout the lawn if not addressed in a timely manner. Once weeds take root they can become a nuisance, so it’s best to treat weeds before
they even have a chance to sprout. Apply a preemergent weed control product as soon as possible in the spring and then reapply it about three months later to ensure weeds are eradicated. That equates to much less tedious lawn maintenance during the season.
with wet grass clippings, necessitating stopping and starting the task. Another thing to consider is lawn diseases spread more readily through wet clippings. Stick to mowing when the lawn is completely dry.
Plant a urineresistant grass
Mulching mowers, or those that just distribute clippings on the lawn as you go, can be healthier for the grass. They will serve as fertilizer and redistribute nutrients to the lawn as they breakdown into the soil. According to “The Organic Lawn Care Manual,” leaving clippings on the lawn will fulfill about 25 percent of fertilizer requirements. Plus, you save time bagging up clippings.
Having a dog and maintaining a lush lawn has always been a particular conundrum for homeowners. Dog urine is high in nitrogen. While nitrogen, when applied in the correct ratio, can be a lawn-growth stimulant, in the large concentration that occurs in pet urine, it causes the grass to dry up and burn, resulting in bare spots. Replanting with urineresistant grasses can help cut down on the level of damage to the lawn from your own pet or pets that happen to make potty stops on your property. The grasses most resistant to urine tend to be perennial ryegrasses and fescues.
Mow when the lawn is dry It’s not adviseable to mow the lawn when it is wet. Slippery conditions can not only make it more dangerous to push a mower, but also slow down the time it can take to tackle the chore. The mower blades can become clogged and coated
Let clippings fly
Mow less often Raise the mower’s blade so that the grass is longer in between cuttings. The taller grass will shade the soil and block weeds from germinating. It also helps improve soil’s moisture retention.
Don’t cut corners Adjusting a landscape design to have arches and curves can reduce the time it takes to mow and edge a property. Hard corners in a landscape will require more time to keep straight and pristine. Caring for a lawn can take less time and effort than you think.

F THER’S DAY Great gift ideas for Dad Father’s Day is right around the corner and that means many children, spouses and other family members will be scrambling to locate the perfect gifts for the men in their lives. Put away those coupons for neckties and remote control caddies. There’s a good chance Dad wants something a little less cliche and more in tune with his interests. If you think carefully about gift ideas, there’s bound to be something that will be a perfect fit.
Sports If Dad follows a particular team or sport, gifts inspired by his love of a favorite team are a surefire bet for success. Team jersies, game memorabilia, tickets to the next at-home game, or an expanded satellite dish or cable TV sports programming package are some gift ideas that will coordinate with a sports theme. Some dads also may be content to simply hit the links or spend a few hours at the batting cages.
Fit for Foodies As the adage goes, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Take advantage of these words of wisdom by gifting your Dad with food or culinarythemed items. Dad may be an amateur chef and will enjoy a cookbook by his favorite Food Network(TM) personality. Or he may have a restaurant he insists on going to all the time, so guaranteeing a gift card to said restaurant will be a hit. If Dad appreciates not only the taste, but also the culture of food, plan a tour of food shops in the area or go on a wine- and cheese-tasting adventure.
Gear Heads Some dads get revved up about automotive gifts, especially if they spend the weekends pampering their prized cars or trucks. If he tends to have a wrench in hand and head under the
hood, treat your father to some new supplies for his automotive pursuits. Quality car waxes and upholstery cleaners are always in demand. Or give him a gift certificate to his favorite handwash, auto-detailing center. Gas station gift cards or a new ratchet set are other good auto gift ideas.
Techies Some dads get excited about the latest tablets or smartphones. They may keep abreast of virus-detection software or think the technological gadgets sold in those speciality magazines and mall stores are must-haves. Chances are if you spend enough time with Dad you know just what he likes to dabble in, and you can get him an electronic device he’ll find invaluable. Although it may seem difficult on the surface to find a gift for Dad that he truly will enjoy and use, all it takes is a close examination of his likes to find something appropriate.
“
Looking for the perfect gift for Father’s Day?
Give the gift of Care! Consider a gift package of a 2-hour visit twice a week for a month from a loving Caregiver. Give him attentive visits, delicious meals, and light housekeeping, of course – but what does he love to do?

Health officer wields power over new coal terminal Black Press
Fraser Health’s chief medical health officer says he could use his legal powers to force a proposed new coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks to keep its promises to protect residents from coal dust. Dr. Paul Van Buynder wants Port Metro Vancouver – which could soon approve the new terminal – to first agree to a full health impact assessment he says may delay construction by six to 12 months. “I can’t stop the approval,” Van Buynder said in an interview. “But if I demonstrate that there is a health risk, then I have powers under the Public Health Act to force them to mitigate that.” He’s used the legislation twice in
the last year to force a Port Coquitlam herbal remedy maker to retract misleading advertising and to impose water chlorination in Chilliwack. In the case of the Surrey coal terminal, he says a permit approval should require ongoing testing near homes and schools for coal dust and other particulate. If actual levels turn out to be higher than projected in computer models, he said, coal shipments would stop until changes are made to cut emissions to acceptable levels. He argues that provision plus the health impact assessment should be backed by the port and terminal because it would reassure residents. The coal industry “may well be correct” that coal poses no
health risk, he said, but that gives no comfort to the public. “I don’t know if there is a health risk,” Van Buynder said. “What I’m saying is we want more information before we sign off.” The new terminal would initially handle four million tonnes of coal a year, less than 10 per cent of the port’s current coal-handling capacity. Van Buynder PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until July 2, 2013. See toyota.ca for complete details on all cash back offers.

Walkable living in Langley
Willoughby Town Centre welcomes Kensington By Kerry Vital
Willoughby Town Centre is rapidly becoming a vibrant gathering place as Langley’s first truly walkable neighbourhood. Now it’s adding its first residential component with Kensington, a 65-unit apartment building. The community, developed by Qualico in partnership with Chow & Li, will provide shopping, dining and high-quality living, all in one spot. “We tried to make sure that there’s a floorplan for everyone,” says Diane Zarola, Sales and Marketing Manager for Qualico. Willoughby Town Centre will soon be an integral part of Langley. Thus far, confirmed tenants include Shoppers Drug Mart, Sassy Nail Salon, RBC, G&F Financial, Noma Sushi Restaurant, Rendevous Liquor Store and Loblaw’s: Your Independent Grocer, the first in the neighbourhood. There will also be an entire building devoted mainly to medical and dental offices. “We are so thrilled to have all these services,” Zarola says. “It’s going to be a very socially active community.” Qualico asked Facebook users what they’d like to see at Willoughby Town Centre. Suggestions included a yoga studio, coffee shops, a pub, and small clothing boutiques. Kensington itself will include ground-level commercial space, three stories of condominium homes, ranging from 660 to 1,360 square feet and 18 different one- and two-bedroom floorplans. “People are absolutely in love with our finishings,” says Zarola. “These are very well-thought-out plans.” Among the amazing finishes at Kensington are kitchens filled with maple shaker-style cabinetry, granite or quartz countertops complemented by a ceramic tile backsplash and marble mosaic accent tile, and stainless-steel appliances. Zarola also notes that Qualico has included convenient fullwall pantries in some homes. “Wherever we could fit them, they’re there!” she says. The bathrooms are equally elegant, most with a spacious five-foot shower with rain shower head, rectangular undermount sink and floating vanity in the ensuite. The main bathrooms feature their own undermount sink, quartz countertops and deep soaker tub with textured ceramic tile. The nine-foot ceilings in your new

Chic laminate flooring blends seamlessly into the plush carpeting in the bedrooms. You’ll also appreciate the contemporary pot lighting throughout your home, which perfectly illuminates your tasks and gives a cleaner look to the ceiling. Every home also includes a den or tech nook perfect for a home office or as extra space for all of your gadgets. “People just adore this space,” Zarola says. “It’s ... very workable.” You’ll also find a front-load washer and dryer included as well. The community is by far the biggest draw for buyers.
