City SAFETY
Policy aimed at boosting pedestrian safety Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A new city policy signals a desire to maximize pedestrian safety and convenience at intersections in New Westminster. City council recently endorsed a new signalized intersection policy, which aims to ensure traffic signals are aligned with the goals and priorities in the city’s master transportation plan. A report to council said most of the policy is meant for intersections with full and pedestrian-activated signals, but elements of the policy would also apply to intersections with signalized warning systems, such as special crosswalks and rectangular rapid flashing beacons. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said he was engaged in conversations about the policy through the city’s sustainable transportation task force and the sustainable transportation advisory committee. “It really came from some discussions, going back probably two years now, about the simple issue of beg buttons and the idea that sometimes our intersections don’t seem to emphasize the movement of pedestrians as much as they emphasize the movement of cars,” he said. “That doesn’t necessarily
Beg for it: Many intersections require pedestrians to push a button for the lights to change – known as a beg button. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
coincide with the priorities that exist in our master transportation plan.” The City of New Westminster’s master transportation plan includes a “hierarchy of modes” that are to be considered when making transportation decisions.Walking is the top priority, followed by cycling and transit, and then commercial vehicles and cars WHAT’S IN THE POLICY? The City of New Westminster’s new signalized
intersection policy consists of six fundamental guiding principles: ! Traffic signals must be designed in a way that ensures pedestrian safety and optimizes pedestrian comfort and convenience (with possible delays to other road users, including people on bicycles and buses). ! Traffic signals must not present any barriers to accessibility. ! Consideration for the comfort and convenience of people on bicycles and using other non-automo-
bile modes is important, second only to considerations for pedestrians on foot and/or using mobility aids. ! Careful consideration must be given to ensure that bus reliability is not significantly compromised. ! Changes to existing signalized intersections should be focused on enhancing or improving current infrastructure, instead of on removing existing features. ! With limited resources, priority will be given to
the intersections having the highest number of pedestrians, and the city’s most vulnerable pedestrians, such as seniors, children and people with disabilities. Priority intersections will be those: near schools and walking routes to school; near services for seniors and vulnerable populations; along greenways, multi-use paths and designated bicycle routes; and where there are expected high pedestrian and bicycle volumes in commercial areas.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The signalized intersection policy outlines a variety of measures that can be used immediately at intersections, including countdown timers, non-slip paint and measures to slow motorists (such as signage and pavement markings). Other measures that could be done immediately include operational improvements, such as providing longer/sufficient pedestrian crossing times, crossing times that are consistent with best practices, walk symbols on both sides of intersections with single push buttons where possible, and leading pedestrian/ bicycle intervals. Short-term improvements are deemed to be those that can be implemented with some analysis, minor design work, construction and/or devices. They include: good and more efficient lighting; accessibility features; pedestrian-friendly signals (such as no right turn on a red light); and newer pedestrian or bicycle-related equipment (no-touch pedestrian buttons, detection cameras for earlier or more efficient walk phase activation, and detection indicator lights).
HEALTH
Schools reopen with functional closures possible Julie MacLellan jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca
New Westminster students headed back to classrooms this past Monday in the face of uncertainty around B.C.’s Omicron surge. As with other districts around B.C., most New West students remained home for an extra week of winter break from Jan. 3
to 7, while staff worked to create plans for the return to school on Jan. 10. In a letter to families last week, School District 40 superintendent Karim Hachlaf said district and school staff spent the week “carefully reviewing” all protocols and updating the district’s health and safety plans as needed. His letter noted measures to be in place start-
ing this week, including including putting sports tournaments on hold, reducing capacity at live events (such as theatre productions) to 50%, and limiting outside visitors. School-based health and safety teams also came up with school-specific changes, such as new arrangements in classrooms to reduce face-to-face seating where possible,
closure of student lockers, and schedule changes – such as staggered recess or class transition times – to prevent crowding in hallways. Changes vary from school to school, and families were informed of any changes by their own schools. School districts around B.C. are also making plans for what might happen if too many staff are off sick
at once to keep schools running safely. Hachlaf said the district will continue to use on-call and casual staff and redeploy district staff as required to cover absences. “We are also contingency planning for the possibility that extreme staff shortages may require (what) we temporarily call a functional closure
to a school: a temporary shift to online or home learning options, allowing us to provide continuity of learning until we can safely staff and support all students back at a particular school,” he said. He said functional closures would be an “emergency step” that will only be taken if there’s no other way to safely support inperson learning.

Purse snatching injures woman
Police were looking for a woman believed to be responsible for two violent purse snatchings targeting elderly women. Both attacks took place just outside the Safeway (now a Save-On-Foods) at Royal City Centre. One victim, a 74-year-old woman, needed emergency brain surgery after an attack. In another mugging, an 87-year-old woman using a walker was punched to the ground from behind, said police. “Even the criminal element finds that disgusting,” New Westminster Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Ivan Chu said.

Feds have been AWOL on protecting our Afghan interpreters
Editor: Re: Afghan vet says Canada failed to protect interpreters, NOW online I spent the first year and a half of my life on a Canadian Air Force base, during the dying days of the Second World War. When I was born, my dad’s only sibling and Anne Frank were still alive. By year’s end, they were both dead. And I grew up wanting to know why. So I read. We were the good guys, right? Then I learned how “we” turned away the MS St. Louis, a Jewish refugee ship in 1939. And in November 2018, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized for our role in that event. I always understood an apology meant nothing, if one didn’t learn from their mistake. And yet, here we are 75 years on, again looking away. Both my father and uncle enlisted and served in the Royal Canadian Air Force in the Second World War. As a result of their sacrifice and that of hundreds of thousands of other Canadians,
we have all had the privilege of living in a free nation. As we honoured those who served and sacrificed for our freedoms on Nov. 11, I wondered what those Second World War vets would think about a Canada that promised sanctuary to Afghans who helped our military, and then we left them behind. There have been umpteen stories reporting on our national disgrace. Not for lack of credible journalism has the alarm been raised and seemingly ignored. With the exception of Liberal MP Marcus Polowski (Thunder Bay), our government has been AWOL on this file. Are we afraid a bad apple might slip through the net? When has that stopped us? Think Nazis. But we don’t stop doing the right thing because we are afraid we might make a mistake. When did we stop being brave? When did we stop being honourable? Partner organizations of Canadian Veterans, Veterans Transition Network and Aman Lara are working against the clock to save these individuals and their families. Please consider donating to their efforts. C.A. Jackson

Proposed Triplex Project
Bike skills park ready for use
New area near tree nursery and lodge parking lot in Queen’s Park Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A new bike skills area in Queen’s Park is ready for action. After local residents built jump features in a forested area of Queen’s Park in 2020, the city removed the jumps because they weren’t considered suitable for public use and staff were concerned they would negatively impact the ongoing ecological restoration in that part of the park. Parks and rec staff subsequently collaborated with some of the local youths who had built those jumps about the development of a new bike skills park facility in the park. In July 2021, council approved construction of a
new bike skills park facility in an area of the park that’s near the city’s tree nursery and the Centennial Lodge parking lot.The project includes seven bike features that are connected by a gravel path. “The bike skills area in Queen’s Park is now complete,” said Erika Mashig, the city’s manager of parks and open space planning, design and construction. “The features have been installed, as well as signage regarding trail safety and etiquette.” Mashig said the project aims to integrate a purpose built-bike park that balances the needs of the biking community – beginners and experts alike. It’s also intended to encourage safe and responsible use of the forest and to respect
the ongoing ecological restoration efforts within Queen’s Park. “As part of the ecological restoration effort for this particular area, additional vegetation has been planted and split-cedar rail fencing has been installed to help protect both existing and newly planted trees and plants,” she said. “The city intends to engage the users of the bike skills Area in future stewardship events to help work on the track, features and with ongoing ecological restoration. Our hope is that we can all work together to keep the bike park in good shape.” In September, two New West residents urged the city to reconsider its plan to build a bike skills area in Queen’s Park and to seek
additional public input before any further development occurs in forested areas in Queen’s Park. Appearing before city council, they said the area is a “gem of a success story” in terms of an ecological restoration in the park. “I value it like a jewel,” Karl Sturmanis told council. “It’s like a natural world in microcosm that should be regarded as a precious resource.” Mayor Jonathan Cote told the delegations he felt the proposed bikes skills area struck a balance of protecting a sensitive area and finding a less sensitive area in the park that could be used for an activity that’s growing in demand.
Rezoning and Development permit applications have been submitted tobuild a passive house Triplex at 817 St. Andrews Street. The proposed triplex design follows the City’s OCP designation residential ground oriented infill housing. The property would be rezoned to a Comprehensive Development (CD) zone from a RS-1 to permit a triplex building. This design features three carports to provide off-street parking for three vehicles. By building them at the rear access lane, we are able to maximize the green space at the front of building, thus creating a triplex home that blends into the Brow of The Hill neighbourhood. We are committed to proactively working with the City and licensed professionals to build quality homes that meets or exceeds the requirements of the current building code and City’s bylaws. We are hoping to start construction in the Summer of 2022 To view more images of the proposed design and provide feedback on ourproject, please visit:

Community Hospital thrift shop thriving in new uptown store Shop looking for more volunteers so it can extend hours Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The New toYou thrift store is settling into its new digs in uptown New West. After years in Sapperton, the charity thrift shop relocated to 706 Sixth Ave. and opened uptown in October 2021. “Things are going really well,” said Lindy Kirkwood, president of the Royal Columbian Hospital Auxiliary. “We have a lot more customers, which is great. The expenses are higher, but it is so much busier.” The new location, which is near the New Westminster Public Library, Royal City Centre and Sixth Avenue businesses, is generating a lot more foot traffic than its previous location.The new space is about 850 square feet larger than its former location. “Nobody has a problem getting around our store, whereas
in the old store it was a problem,” Kirkwood said. Kirkwood gives a huge kudos to all the volunteers, both auxiliary members and their friends and family, who helped the store relocate to its new space. She said the move would never have come together so beautifully if not for all of their efforts. New toYou is currently open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “We are doing really well,” Kirkwood told the Record. “What I really needs is more volunteers. I have got about four or five since we opened, which is great.We’d love to open longer, but we just can’t without more people.” Kirkwood said the store is staffed by “some really great people” but additional volunteers are always needed. “We are looking for people to work a minimum of fourhours-plus a week,” she said.
“Almost every day of the week we need somebody – Tuesday, Wednesday,Thursday, Saturday; we need people on all of those days.” In addition to volunteers, New toYou welcomes donations of clean clothes and working household items. “We have been restricting donations to two bags or two boxes because we were a bit overwhelmed for a while. But we feel like we have kind of got it under control, so we have decided that we will limit it to two bags of clothing but no limit on other things,” Kirkwood said. “Really, that’s our lifeblood – donations.” Clothes, certain red-tagged items and glass kitchenware are 50% off in January. “Our biggest moneymaker is clothes,” Kirkwood noted. The Royal Columbian Hospital Auxiliary raises money for RCH through the thrift store, as well as the lottery booth, the

Community Deli supports B.C. dogs in Betty White’s memory Greens and Beans is offering treats for canine customers on Sunday to raise money for animal charity Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Greens and Beans Deli is going to the dogs in honour of Betty White – and a beloved canine customer. Chica, a longtime customer at the Sapperton deli, recently passed away at the age of 15. Even when her legs were failing because of arthritis, she’d walk with owner April Fahr down the hill to the deli for her favourite treat. “The dog used to drag her down here,” said Leona Green, co-owner of Greens and Beans Deli. “She was strong. She was a pit bull. If April tried to walk by the deli – well, that would never happen.” The Where’s the Beef?
fundraiser is taking place at Greens and Beans (143 East Columbia St.) on Sunday, Jan. 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. “We will be serving one of her favourite things – roast beef and cream cheese on toast,” Green said. “We are inviting people to bring their dogs and buy this treat by donation.” Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the Wild West Animal League in Betty White’s name. White, a renowned actress, comedian and animal lover, passed away on Dec. 31, 2021 at the age of 99. In honour of what would have been her 100th birthday, the #BettyWhiteChallenge asks people to donate $5 to
animal welfare organizations around the world on Jan. 17. Greens and Beans is closed on Sundays, so human food won’t be on the menu at the fundraiser.
People are very generous
“Just the doggy treats. We are going to set up at the back door.We are inviting dogs to come,” Green said. “There are a lot of people who know this dog.” Chica, 15, was a certified Canine Good Neighbour – a 12-step test that
demonstrates a dog can be counted on to present good manners at home, in public places and in the presence of other dogs. The pit bull was also a pet talent contest winner and was also featured when Fahr spoke out against breed-specific legislation. The Wild West Animal League supports animals in remote and rural areas of B.C. In December, Green raised funds to buy food for an animal shelter in Guatemala. “I got $5,000 worth of dog food when I was there, thanks to the customers,” she said. “People are very generous.”
Canine love: A Where’s the Beef? fundraiser is taking place at Greens and Beans Deli in Sapperton this Sunday in honour of Chica. Doggy treats will be offered at the back door of the deli, with funds going to the Wild West Animal League in Betty White’s name. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

NOTICE OF INITIATIVE PLAN FOR THE DOWNTOWN NEW WESTMINSTER BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREAS SERVICE IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF NEW WESTMINSTER TO CREATE TWO BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA SERVICES IN DOWNTOWN NEW WESTMINSTER PURSUANT TO SECTION 215(2) OF THE COMMUNITY CHARTER This notice concerning the creation of Business Improvement Areas Services on the Council initiative plan is given pursuant to Section 215(1) of the Community Charter. The business promotion scheme proposed to be undertaken consists of: 1. the encouragement of business in the Business Improvement Area Service in order to complement and expand the present business mix; 2. the strengthening of businesses in the Business Improvement Area Service by undertaking beautification projects and promotional initiatives including special events and by advertising and promoting existing businesses; 3. the carrying out of research and the preparation of reports including measures to enhance the economic vitality of the Business Improvement Area; and 4. the improvement, beautification or maintenance of streets, sidewalks or municipally-owned land, buildings or structures in the Business Improvement Area. The business promotion scheme will be designed to benefit two areas, a Primary Area and a Secondary Area, shown outlined in heavy black on the maps identified here as “Primary Area: Bylaw 8288, 2021 Schedule A” and “Secondary Area: Bylaw 8289, 2021 Schedule A”. PRIMARY AREA The estimated grant cost of the business promotion scheme for the Primary Area will be $161,912.41 for 2022, $166,769.78 for 2023, $171,772.87 for 2024 and $176,926.06 for 2025. The maximum grant for the term of the bylaw will be $677,381.12. SECONDARY AREA The estimated grant cost of the business promotion scheme for the Secondary Area will be $133,857.52 for 2022, $137,873.25 for 2023, $142,009.45 for 2024 and $146,269.73 for 2025. The maximum grant for the term of the bylaw will be $560,009.95. Land or improvements within the business improvement areas will not be subject to this levy unless they are classified, in whole or in part, as Classes 5 or 6 as defined in the Assessment Act Regulation, B.C. Reg. 433/98, as that regulation stood on October 4, 2021. 100% of the cost of the business improvement scheme will be borne by the benefiting property owners. Cost recovery will be in the form of a local service parcel tax, calculated on the basis of assessed value of the benefiting property owners, collected in the same manner and at the same time as property taxes. The charges will be imposed for a period of four year from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2025. The establishment of the Primary and Secondary Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Area Services are being proceeded with under Council initiative plan. Unless within one month after the second publication of this notice a majority of the benefiting property owners, representing at least half of the assessed value of the parcels that are liable to be specially charged, petition the Council not to proceed with it, the program will be undertaken. Any opposition to the plan by affected property owners should be made in writing to the City Clerk, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster, B.C., V3L 1H9 and received no later than 4:30 p.m., Monday, February 14th, 2022.
