Concerns about traffic, blocked views and transient occupants didn’t dissuade council from giving a Downtown rental highrise the green light. The 26-storey tower will replace the former Gyro Building at Sixth Street, which used to house the Simon Fraser Health Unit. It will have 5,500 sq. ft. of commercial at

BURNABY 604 294 6666

City council has pressed the pause button on a controversial piece of public art described as having ‘The Wow Factor.’ But to some councillors it may be a bad ‘wow.’ And if they decide to dump it they won’t get the two art pieces they do like. They’re all part of the Vancouver Biennale’s latest initiative for which the city has budgeted $90,000. Biennale officials told council Monday the three installations are a package deal. They also told council they have a track record that will prove them right in the end. The fuss is over the vision of Brazilian artist José Resende. His concept is four transport containers angled skyward on the Timber Wharf at Westminster Pier Park. Council likes Blue Trees by Konstantin Dimopolous, planned for Columbia Street, and a Public Furniture/ Urban Trees piece by Hugo Franco. please see pubLic art, a3

While both will stay in New West for two years the Resende piece will remain as a legacy. Some councillors aren’t sure if they want it here at all. “It’s all or none,” Biennale founder Barrie Mowatt told council Monday of the three projects. “You have to buy in to what our vision is … You have to trust what we’re doing is the best we can do to impact the city.” Biennale marketing director Miriam Blume noted A-maze-ing Laughter generated a lot of controversy when it was installed near English Bay in 2009. She called the 14 bronze-painted figures “Vancouver’s Eiffel Tower” because it attracts visitors. Ammar Mahimwalla of Biennale said Resende went with the industrial art vision after looking at the site because “he sees the value in everyday reality. It’s to inspire people to think about everyday reality.” That didn’t go over well with Mayor Wayne Wright. He said New Westminster’s everyday reality is there is “no positiveness whatsoever” in truck containers. They clog the city’s streets and their emergence spelled the end of New Westminster as a port. The Resende piece is scheduled to be installed in the fall, about the same time the city will unveil its Wait For Me Daddy sculpture at Hyack Square. “We’ve taken a huge risk, and anything that could tarnish that could create a problem around that, I have a great deal of angst about it,” said Wright. Conversely, the more debate Coun. Jonathan Coté heard the more intrigued he was. “When art creates discussion it may be a good sign that people are noticing,” Coté said. “Sometimes I think communities need to take a chance and let groups like yourself push a border with public art.”

Brazilian artist José Resende’s proposed artwork has sparked division among city council.

The McIntosh house, on Bonson Street, is the fifth heritage renovation Ken and Angela Emsley, and their daughter, Morgan, have tackled. The house is one of the oldest in the city, built in 1891, and will be featured in his year’s edition of the Heritage Homes Tour put on by the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society.

Rental units will also make living there more affordable, they pointed out. “It will meet a need for rental housing in the area and improve the downtown core. I don’t believe it is out of line with others in the area,” said Douglas Wicker, although he did express a desire for speed bumps on Carnarvon. The complex will have 66 studio, 157 onebedroom, 51 two-bedroom and eight threebedroom units. There will be 180 parking spaces with 28 of them for visitors. “We have found there is a far lower demand for car spaces in rental buildings than there are in condominium buildings, and even lower demand when they’re close to rapid transit,” said South Street president Sam Hanson. His company will provide 11 transit passes for residents and three parking spots for Modo co-op vehicles. Downtown resident Richard McAlpine said owning a vehicle isn’t necessary these days. “I strongly believe in supporting this proposal. Rental housing is crucial to a viable community and I see this added housing space as only enhancing and improving the quality of life for all of us in the Downtown and in our fair city,” said McAlpine. “It really is about affordability and about our children being able to live in our city,” said Coun. Bill Harper. “Rental housing really does fortify that argument.” While acknowledging support for the project is evident, Coun. Betty McIntosh said there are legitimate reasons for opposing it. “I know the traffic on Carnarvon is definitely an issue. It is tied into vehicles going to the Pattullo Bridge. It’s not a developer’s problem, but it is a problem for livability Downtown.”

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Michael Orthner took this photo on the morning of April 13 from the parkade. ‘I think I lucked out on a pretty cool shot,’ Michael says.

Sirens song BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) is defending a Resource Allocation Plan that has downgraded some medical emergencies from Code 3 to Code 2. That means only the fire department responds with lights and sirens at speeds above posted limits while the ambulance drives at posted limits and gets there later. Much later say some local fire departments. Recently Burnaby’s deputy fire chief wrote to Dr. William Dick, the vice-president of medical programs for BCEHS, detailing 11 cases since last October where his fire fighters had to wait more than an hour at a medical call before an ambulance showed up. There were another 67 incidents where the wait was longer than 30 minutes. But according to BCEHS, the change in ambulance response time has actually allowed paramedics to get to serious Code 3 emergencies quicker, by about one minute. The downgraded Code 2 calls now take about 10 minutes longer in the Lower Mainland. But there’s less potential for accidents, and the change isn’t affecting patient outcome. Burnaby-Deer Lake NDP MLA Kathy Corrigan says most firefighters are trained to do basic first aid, not to assess patients or administer medical treatment. Waiting for paramedics to arrive is “rolling the dice.” Municipal governments around the Lower Mainland say this change in service is downloading. Instead of increasing resources to handle the growing demand for service, the province is reducing some services to hold the line on costs. BCEHS argues the firefighters should slow down to some of their calls as well. That’s little comfort to a patient who’s just suffered a seizure, or a senior who’s just tumbled down stairs.

Our river access just keeps growing On the surface, it’s just another proposal for a business park. But it takes us one step closer to having a trail system that runs the entire length of the Fraser River from Hope to the ocean. This particular project is in Burnaby, next to the regional incinerator. Once this 65-acre site is redeveloped, it will add 500 metres of public trail to a system that already provides 4,600 metres of trail along Burnaby’s 6,600-metre riverfront. That means there’ll only be about 1,500 metres left to go. Most of the trail is in Fraser Foreshore Park, a linear park running from the incinerator to the Vancouver border at Boundary Road. (If you feel ambitious, the trail keeps going on the Vancouver side, too.) My office is next to Fraser Foreshore, and the path offers stress-reducing exercise, a dose of nature and the opportunity to enjoy the ever-changing face of the Fraser. The business park redevelopment helps bring the

Chris Bryan trail closer to New Westminster, too. Head in that direction and poke your head behind some of the businesses along that stretch of river, and you’ll find several sections of built-up trail ready to link up when the opportunity arises. These connections are a key focus of a project called Experience The Fraser (ETF). The project brings together Metro Vancouver, the province, cities and multiple stakeholder groups to coordinate development of trail links along the Fraser from Hope to the ocean. The original plan only looked at the South Arm of the Fraser, considered the main stem. Recently, though, ETF began work on a plan for the

North Arm—which links New West, Burnaby, Richmond and Vancouver. In coming months, city councils in the respective cities will review the plan. Meantime, though, cities are already at work building the river trail connections. In New Westminster, a major win in recent years was the reclamation of a former industrial brownfield along the river just steps from Columbia Street. Today, Westminster Pier Park pushes the river trail within steps of the Pattullo Bridge and offers a stunning destination for walkers, runners and cyclists, encouraging them to extend their walk along the New West boardwalk all the further. The park offers stunning views of the river and three bridges that are milestones in B.C.’s transportation history: the 1904 rail bridge, the 1937 Pattullo Bridge and the 1990 SkyTrain SkyBridge. What the park has also done, though, is given people an appetite for more. Only about 600 metres

upstream is another long stretch of waterfront path called Sapperton Landing Park. The City of New West owns a fair bit of land en route, but it will be expensive to buld the trail through that narrow section. As wonderful as it is to follow the river as you walk, run or cycle, there are still sections of trail in New West and Burnaby that won’t be secured for many years. But it’s worth remembering how far we’ve come. In Burnaby, it was only in 1999 that Commonwealth Construction donated its property at the foot of Tillicum Street to the City of Burnaby, adding a large section of riverfront trail, as well as a fishing pier. And in New West until the 1980s, the entire Quayside boardwalk was industrial. Today it’s a glorious public amenity. Getting one, continuous trail link all along the Fraser River may take decades, but each new piece is worth celebrating. editor@newwestnewsleader.com

MMBC to take city’s recyclables as of May 19 Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

It’s a pain in the glass but New Westminster residents are starting to adapt to new recycling rules. The city told residents they couldn’t put glass jars and bottles in the blue recycling bin they put out for curbside collection as of Jan. 1. The ban was instituted because Multi Material BC (MMBC) will be taking the recyclables the city collects for disposal as of May 19,

but they don’t allow glass. The city put in the new rules early to give residents a chance to adjust. Kristian Davis, supervisor of the city’s solid waste and recycling services, said an audit last month showed glass in the blue box is “down considerably. We really weren’t getting a whole lot before, and now we’re getting a lot less.” Glass in the garbage is also low, at about two per cent. The city would

ideally like its residents to separate the glass and take it to its recycling depot next to the Canada Games Pool. But so far, glass disposal there hasn’t increased much, said Davis. “We typically don’t get a lot of glass come through our recycling depot anyway.” What they don’t want residents to do is put the glass in the garbage because that’s prohibited. He said some people commented on the new

Continuing education will also close for a savings of $67,000. The board confirmed it will not change class sizes at the elementary and middle school levels. But it will increase the student-teacher ratio at NWSS from 22.95 per class to 23.4, a loss of 3.5 teachers. In case trustees don’t close Hume Park elementary, the board directed staff to come up with another $76,000 in savings by June 1. The eventual fate of the little school on the city’s eastern edge will be

discussed at a May 20 meeting. District parent advisory council chair Beth Ott said it appeared what was said during four public sessions in the month of April didn’t show up in the budget adjustments. “If there’s no change it begs the question, what was that?” said Ott. Board chair Jonina Campbell said the stakeholders were heard but some tough decisions had to be made. “The money has to come from somewhere. It is not a satisfactory solution to everyone.”

rules but understood why the city had to do it. MMBC was set up by the province as an industry-run, nonprofit organization. It will pay the city

for the recyclables it collects. MMBC will be funded by paper and packaging fees charged to consumers when they purchase products. When city council

reluctantly agreed to participate in the program they feared MMBC would charge $5,000 for every truckload “contaminated” with too much glass.

But Davis said that won’t be the case because glass is a printed packaging product and not technically considered contamination. twitter.com/lonegrangerbnw

vehicle driven at highway speeds for prolonged periods in hot weather conditions can be a punishing test for tires and the dreaded blow-out is a real concern. Even a tire that looks okay and has plenty of tread remaining may not be in great shape. The “best before” date on most passenger tires is eight years old and you should be able to find a date of manufacture stamped somewhere on sidewall of the tire. A tire also performs best, lasts longer and provides best fuel economy when its internal pressure is set at a level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, and checked on a regular basis. The tire decal, with optimal front and rear recommended tire pressures, is usually on the driver’s door or door jam. If not, the owner’s manual should give you the information and/or tell you where the tire decal is located. A single underinflated tire (by about 6 psi /40 kPa) can cause a 3 per cent increase in fuel consumption. Using a grade of fuel with a lower octane rating than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer may cause the engine to ping or knock on hard acceleration or when climbing hills, which is not good for the engine! On the other hand, using a higheroctane fuel than your vehicle’s engine needs is generally a waste of money. That said, the pricier fuel may also contain some additional cleaner additives, which is good. Have a great summer and a safe driving vacation. Bob.McHugh@Drivewaybc.ca

“They’re not safe. But it would only be a problem in an accident.”

Confessions of a Curber I was getting good at this, so I purchased a used vehicle in the U.S. and imported it. It didn’t have any airbags, so the warning lights were on. But I wasn’t picky. I knew, based on my other tricks, I could solve that before I had it inspected and registered. You just couldn’t be too worried about the truth. I Googled airbags. I saw I had three options. Get certified replacements installed at a repair shop. Buy some and install them myself. Or, override the warning light. I called and found that the first option was out of the question. Way too expensive. But, option two had some promise. There were cheap ones online. Of course, there were some warnings about dangerous fake airbags. Option three, overriding the warning lights, went too far – even for me. You can find how-to videos about anything on the web. So, I ordered cheap ones and had them sent to my U.S. mailbox. I used a buddy’s garage and put them in. Bingo! The warning lights went off and I was on my way. Soon, I had an ad up on several classified websites: Great car for sale. Moving out of the country and need to sell fast! Good condition. Recently inspected. Call cell. I’m flexible on price!! I couldn’t believe how many calls I had. I found my buyer not long after. A nice man about my age; divorced with three kids. That’s all I know about him – I don’t like getting too personal. I was actually honest about the vehicle this time. I told him that the car had been in an

accident and was from the U.S. I asked if he wanted a vehicle history report*, but he declined. He appreciated my honesty, as he’d gone through a few bad deals. With the transaction done, we parted ways. Then I got a call from my buddy. Being a curious person, he’d read the boxes the airbags came in that I’d left at his shop. “You installed counterfeit airbags,” he said. “So? They look identical to the original airbags,” I said. “I’ve seen videos of bogus airbags catching fire and with metal bits exploding when they deploy. They’re not safe,” he scolded. I’ll take my chances, I thought. It would only be a problem in an accident. The next day, my buddy left a message. He ended our friendship. Whoa, chill out. A guy’s got a right to make a few bucks.
