Some call it an "aha" moment, others a "eureka" moment, you may just call it an "idea".
No matter what you call them, we want to hear them!
Seen something being done somewhere else in the Province that you think should be adopted by the SCRD? Got an idea on how to improve a current service?
Add it to the ideas board and they will be shared with SCRD staff.

Attn: Dean McKinley, Ian Hall, Krissy Kirkpatrick, As per the Halfmoon Bay town hall discussion yesterday (6 Apr 22), a group of citizens has requested that the SCRD significantly increase the penalties for those who break laws to ensure the fines are actually a deterrent (currently many of them are not, and for multi million dollar developments are an unnoticeable cost of doing business). In particular in cases where the damage is irreversible (tree cutting in riparian areas), these damages should be the maximum allowed under Community Charter S263 ex. allows SCRD to impose fines up to $50,000, and then $50,000/day for ongoing violations. Please also introduce a maximum fine for 'altering land without a permit in a development permit area' for which the SCRD currently has no fine (a gap).

Consider the actual environmental benefits of moving waste off-Coast. Waste management companies are set up both environmentally and economically to process the variety of waste they receive. It is disposed of in a facility that makes the best use of the waste and they have access to markets for anything that can be reclaimed. Rather than just burying our waste in another landfill and creating more contaminated space, we can be part of the growing waste management market and contribute to the viability of these companies that take on one of the messiest of industries. Think of it as putting waste where it belongs, where it will be best reused.

Glad to find this forum where ideas can be shared & discussed in a respectful way. I am not against the proposed BC Ferries Route 3 trial, but I do have some concerns about some of it's features. I've listed out what I think is worth keeping & what should be changed. I'd like to engage in respectful, meaningful discussion here. I do not think taking a position that 'nothing but a 2nd boat will do' is the answer. A 2nd ferry could be up to 5 years away & keeping the status quo for the next 5 years doesn't improve anything. I am also against resident priority boarding. I think the most equitable solution is one with one set of rules for everyone. With that said, please let me know what you think of these ideas. Thanks! Here's what I think is good & what could be improved: Good: 1. Ability to book in advance & save money 2. Having reduced fares for less busy sailings will incent those with the flexibility to travel at less popular times, saving them money, and also taking some of the demand away from the more popular sailings. Good for all. This does mean that fares for non booked ahead vehicles would have to be collected at Langdale and a traffic management plan would be needed. Change: 1. Lower the book ahead from proposed 95% to allow for more first-come-first-served. 2. Increase the medical assured from proposed 5%. 3. Ensure booked ahead spots are not transferrable, but can be changed/cancelled. 4. Introduce a sliding scale change/cancellation fee structure. i.e. Fee to change/cancel goes up the closer you get to the sailing. 5. Release spots a month ahead so that commuters don't have to pay for their spots months in advance.
1 comment1Tannis Braithwaitealmost 3 years agoLet's make it safer for pedestrians to cross Highway 101 by installing pedestrian refuges in the center median.
There are several intersections on Highway 101 with a single left turn bay opposite a striped-off area of the highway. It would be easy and cheap to install pedestrian refuges at these intersections by adding some raised concrete and signage in the existing striped-off area. These refuges would allow pedestrians to cross only one lane of traffic at a time, greatly increasing safety. If designed with a "cut through" they would also allow safer crossing for wheeled vehicles such as wheelchairs and bicycles.
