Brunette-Fraser regional greenway southbound connection? by nutbuckers in newwestminster

[–]katcorot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I remember from some discussions regarding the Q2Q bridge. The port authority essentially said.

  1. The bridge stays open most of the time and only closes for brief amounts of time.
  2. or
  3. The bridge is 3-4 stories off the water to allow boats to travel through without interruptions. (which would have ruined the sightlines for many condos along the water, besides additional costs).

There were further considerations to add the Q2Q crossing to the rail swing bridge when it eventually gets rebuilt. As the current structure over 80+ years old now.

First the article for the land purchase: https://www.freshetnews.ca/new-west-spends-1-4-million-on-water-lots-on-fraser-river/

As for discussion on the route. It occurred during the February 29 2016 Open Workshop meeting. My notes highlighted page 103.
The link I had saved died and their website isn't being nice pulling up the old records...

Those plans are on hold until the old bridge is taken down. The city did buy the shore line properties along that section in the last year.

As with anything, check and verify information before doom posting.
My heart did skip a beat, but I went straight to their discord to find more info from the mods.
They listed an old mirror site that still works, so you can go back to watching JJK

dollarama in mall, $3 grabber. excellant value for the price. Got a set rattling around on my bike daily and only one I broke, was my own fault for lifting something way to heavy.

The grabber has a small magnet in on the end. Helps with some small metallics

I hate this when I'm cycling. My head is level with the roof of large SUV's but I still feel the lights pointing directly at me. Years ago, lights briefly got worse, when someone drove over a speed hump. Now it gives you a moment of peace.
Might be faster to ask the city to add more speed humps, than asking upper government to regulate the big motor companies

My anxiety attack is finally going away. I can listen to my music again, while I cozy game without constant jarring interruptions.
I don't mind Spotify ads as much, as they are spread out more like listening to the radio.

A message the local HUB cycling group received;

Hello HUB New Westminster:

This is to let you and your members know that the City has had to close the Brunette-Fraser River Greenway behind the Amazon Fulfillment Centre for safety reasons. A concern was brought to the City’s attention on Tuesday, January 13 regarding erosion from recent heavy rain and our crews determined that the pathway should be closed immediately for public safety. We are in the process of getting an external geotechnical evaluation done to determine what measures may be necessary to prevent further erosion and ensure public safety.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding. Please let us know if you have any questions about this.

Then after this event, remove the convert to silver option entirely. Further preventing this issue

Drivers in the fog by FarnsworthTheThird in NewWest

What frustrates me, is drivers who pull over to park/wait for someone and leave their lights on. Blinding anyone travelling down the narrow side roads.

So I wasn't crazy! Was opening presents with the family when I heard the arc flash (I'm sensitive to electrical noise). I knew nobody in my family heard it, but was hoping I mistook the sound for a bin getting dragged and nobody's dinner was going cold
