Infrastructure

I am writing on behalf of the executive of the Saturna Island Property Owners Association to thank you and the CRD board for your financial support which enabled SIPOA and the Saturna Community Club to bring the Car Stop program to our island.

Dear SIPOA members,

 

SIPOA will be making a short presentation to the BC Ferry Commissioner in respect of his review of the Coastal Ferry Act on October 1, 2011. Our intent is to provide feedback that looks to finding prospective solutions for the BC Ferry Commissioner to pursue as opposed to rehashing a complaint list.

The Aug 31, 2011 LTC meeting was an extended session that ran from 12:30 pm until 6 pm. This meeting was well attended, particularly through the Community Information and the Public Hearing sections on proposed Bylaw 104 that were scheduled as the first main items. These sessions ran past 4 pm.

Ron Hall, on behalf of SIPOA gave a presentation [see below], as a delegation, providing a summary of the letter that SIPOA had submitted on August 17th, commenting on Bylaw 104.

Dear Sir:

Ferry Lines

Assorted items….

To soften the journey (a bit)… Corporate blue seat padding has belatedly appeared on the new metal seating on the Mayne Queen.

Visioning the schedule…. In early July Southern Gulf Island ferry advisory committee representatives will meet with Saltspring Island reps to discuss ideas about scheduling for both route 9 (that’s the mainland) and route 5. The SSIFAC has been working on some possible schedules and this is the other islands’ first chance to see what they've achieved and add their input.

I am following up our previous conversations regarding the Car Stop Program. Although you have kindly forwarded our application to the CRD approvals process, I believe you previously asked that I provide all information related to the consultation activities the Saturna Island Property Owners Association (SIPOA), the Saturna Community Club (SCC) and Saturna Lions have undertaken with respect to the proposed Car Stop Program for Saturna.
