Sears aims to build seven towers Owns 8.9 acres next to Metropolis

Wanda [email protected]

If anyone’s ever wondered why it seemed Sears hardly changed a bit when Metropolis at Metrotown mall was developed, here’s the answer: the department store owns its own parcel at the site.

An 8.9-acre parcel, in fact.

And now it plans to redevelop. In a big way.

Sears Canada Inc. has applied to Burnaby city hall to establish a conceptual master plan for the site that would guide later rezoning applications for individual phases of the project, according to a city staff report.

The company’s vision for its site includes a new flagship Sears store, and five mixed-use, high-density residential towers and two office towers on top of podiums containing retail and commercial space.

Despite its store being highly integrated into Metropolis, Sears owns its own store, the space where Toys R Us is located

Former students and staff among senior guests at Second Street Pioneer TeaWanda [email protected]

On his first day at Burnaby’s Second Street elementary as a six-year-old, Clarence “Buzz” Henshaw and his brothers “stood in the toilet stall and flushed the toilet just to watch the water go down,” he recalled.

Same with the light switches. They were the push-button type back in 1933 and they pushed the lights on

and off, on and off. “The teachers made us stop,” said

Henshaw, 86, with a laugh.After all, back then the Henshaw

family lived on a farm close to where the freeway is now where they had no running water or electricity.

Those were among the memories Henshaw shared with students at Second Street school last Friday at its 43rd annual pioneer tea.

Girl students wearing pioneer dresses served tea and baking while other schoolkids visited with the seniors, among them former students and teachers, grandparents

and even great-grandparents.Raymond Beaton, 82, started

Grade 1 there in 1937 (there was no kindergarten in those days) and said the wood floors were all oiled back then.

“Every time I smell that particular smell it takes me back to Second Street school,” Beaton recalled.

By then, the school was already on its second building, operating as a four-room school for grades 1 to 6 in an area surrounded by bush.

Of course, early school memories vary for each individual.

Beaton recalled being bullied

incessantly in Grade 5 but after picking up boxing tips from a movie he punched his tormentor in the face and “he never bothered me again.”

And there was the first time he got the strap.

It was only his second-ever day of school and it was because he didn’t bring in a picture of an aster flower as he’d been instructed, despite him having no idea what one looked like and no way to look it up in those pre-Internet days.

Memories of a Burnaby gone by

Untreated Hearing Loss

Affects Baby Boomers

Workforce.

rnest Hemingway once said, “Retirement is the Eugliest word in the language” and in today's society, it is true. Many baby boomers may yearn for retirement, but uncertain finances and healthcare have influenced the need to stay in the workforce longer.

Research reported by the Better Hearing Institute demonstrated that the use of hearing aids reduces the risk of losing income by 90 to 100 percent for those with mild hearing loss and 65 to 77 for those with moderate to severe hearing loss. Those with moderate to severe hearing loss who use aids are twice as likely to be employed as their peers who do not use.

The verdict seems clear. Boomers with hearing problems “can continue doing their jobs at a satisfactory level if they do obtain hearing aids,” said Robyn Cox, PhD, a professor of audiology at the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Memphis.

Then why are baby boomers not having routine hearing checks and, if they do have hearing loss, use hearing aids? Dr. Cox said she believes the problem is innate in current medical care. “Routine hearing checks are not part of the culture,” she said. “We get all types of checks but neglect our hearing. We have not taught people to realize that hearing needs to be checked.”

Hearing aid use expectedly suffers when Individuals do not receive hearing checks. “Many don't know they have hearing problems,” Dr. Cox said. “Many do, and don't know what to do about it. We have made it difficult to Figure out.”

An effort needs to be made to get baby boomers focused on their hearing, which will not only change the culture surrounding hearing healthcare, but also urge employers, health insurance companies, and primary care physicians to focus on hearing loss. “We haven't produced evidence for who needs to get hearing screenings, so we haven't encouraged people to do it,” Dr. Cox said. “Primary care physicians don't think about hearing care, and health insurance companies don't include hearing checks as preventive measures. When you go get your physical, a doctor should ask about your hearing and maybe, if you are a certain age, require you to get a hearing test.”Most of the damage has already been done to baby boomers' hearing but, that does not mean it cannot be addressed. The best advice is to be proactive in obtaining hearing healthcare, Dr. Cox said. “People frequently notice hearing problems numerous years before they seek help,” she said. “There is reason to think that the longer they wait, the more difficult it is to make up the ground that gets lost.

In general, it would be nice if as people age they would pay attention to their hearing needs just as much as vision needs.”

It has been reported that the percentage of workers between the ages of 65 to 74 is expected to increase by 83.4 percent from 2006 to 2016. But as boomers stay in the workforce longer, untreated hearing loss may sap their incomes and employment.

BurnaBy standings hold—3 ndP, 1 liBeral

Beleaguered BC NDP candidate Jane Shin has officially won in Burnaby-Lougheed and by a wider margin than on election night.

Heading into the final count earlier this week, Shin’s lead over BC Liberal opponent Ken Kramer was 315 votes. But after counting absentee ballots, she ended up winning by 743 votes.

Overall, the standings in Burnaby stayed the same—three NDP and one Liberal—with winning candidates increasing their margins of victory after the final count.

Incumbent NDP MLA Raj Chouhan defeated Liberal Jeff Kuah in Burnaby-Edmonds by 2,303 votes.

Fellow NDP incumbent Kathy Corrigan won by 903 votes against Liberal Shian Gu.

While the winning Burnaby New Democrats gained votes through the final count, Liberal incumbent Richard Lee’s win narrowed in Burnaby North.

Lee won his fourth term by 668 votes, less than the 833-vote margin he led by on election night, a small consolation to his unsuccessful NDP challenger, Janet Routledge.

underneath in the basement, surface and underground parking, loading facilities and the public plaza at the corner of Kingsway and Nelson Avenue, the report said.

In 1985, Burnaby council adopted a rezoning of the Sears site which allowed for development of a major shopping mall, including a refurbished Sears store and Sears Auto Centre, and offices.

The overall design guidelines back then included the future

integration of what was then known as the Kelly-Douglas property, which became Eaton Centre and Metrotown Centre, and ultimately merged into today’s Metropolis.

As a pre-requisite for the 1985 rezoning, provisions were made for a joint service access between the Sears and Metropolis sites to mitigate potential traffic impacts on Central Boulevard. A public walkway corridor, protected by an easement, was also included through the site between Kingsway and Central Boulevard, tying

into Bennett Street.Joint accesses, and

shared parking and loading between the two properties could restrict the Sears project, the report said. The issues will need to be resolved before the redevelopment can go ahead. Under the city’s Metrotown Town Centre Development Plan, the Sears property is designated for high-density, mixed-used redevelopment with the frontage along Kingsway expected to emphasize commercial uses, the report said.

“It is expected that the proposed redevelopment will include significantly enhanced street frontages, publicly-oriented plaza/gateway areas, and contemporary architectural building forms and structures which strongly relate to street level areas.”

In a letter to the city, Stephen Champion, Sears vice-president of real estate, recognized the importance of the site.

“Sears is committed to working with the City of Burnaby staff in determining the

appropriate neighbourhood needs, and to designing an iconic mixed-use development appropriate for this important gateway location,” Champion said.

“The project will be planned and constructed in stages responding to market demand as well as the physical accommodation of structures on site.”

Burnaby council directed city staff to work with Sears in the preparation of a more detailed plan suitable for presentation to a future public hearing.

For many years Irene McCutcheon has seen proposals for a new Burnaby Art Gallery (BAG) come and go.

Now at age 81, she’s giving it another try.

As a director of the Burnaby Arts Council and chair of its committee advocating for a new gallery, McCutcheon is attempting to convince decision-makers at Burnaby city hall that a new facility is needed.

The BAG has been located at the 1911 Ceperley House in Deer Lake Park since the late 1960s.

With a total of about 1,700 square feet of exhibition space, its “really inadequate” as a gallery, and incapable of handling Class A, or international standard, exhibitions, said McCutcheon. “It’s a charming

place but we really need to look forward.”

Late Burnaby resident “Jack Shadbolt was one of our big name artists in Canada and we can’t even put a show of his up and send it off travelling because we don’t have the

space to do that.”Ceperley House is not easy to

get to and is too small to hold the city’s permanent art collection, she said, noting the basement storage area has mousetraps along with a concrete floor, and water pipes

on the ceiling people have to duck under.

The city’s extensive collection of about 4,600 works on paper are stored in a separate building and there is not enough gallery space to keep it on display.

In 1973, then-mayor Tom Constable wrote a letter in support of a grant application for a new gallery but it went nowhere, McCutcheon said.

Then in the 1980s, when the Bob Prittie Metrotown library was being designed, architect James Cheng included plans for a theatre and art gallery next door where the Civic Square greenspace is today. Nothing happened then, either.

And in 1998, Hotson Bakker Architects, designers of the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, looked into expanding the gallery in the Deer Lake area.

“And that never went through,” she said.

Art gallery needs new home: Group

MarIO BarteL/neWsLeaDerIrene McCutcheon is an artist and a director of the Burnaby Arts Council and she says it’s time for the city to get a new art gallery as the Burnaby Art Gallery at Ceperely House is too small and inadequate.

So the arts council and McCutcheon are trying to keep the project alive in the minds of city council, appearing at a public hearing Tuesday for Boffo Developments’ rezoning application for a highrise at Willingdon Avenue and Beresford Street.

They’re lobbying for Cheng’s original vision for a gallery—two storeys of exhibition space, a floor for offices and a basement—located at Civic Square close to transit. And they figure the money could come from the amenity funds paid by developers to the city for permission to build bonus density at certain highrise locations.

Boffo’s Beresford project alone is expected to bring in $6.9 million, of which 80 per cent is designated for amenity projects for the Metrotown Town Centre area.

“We’re the 20th largest city in Canada, we should be able to afford something like that,” McCutcheon said of the gallery proposal.

She did not know how much such a project would cost.

Comparable sized cities have much larger facilities, she said, citing the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon (125,000 square feet), the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina (100,000 square feet) and the Windsor Art Gallery (77,500 square feet).

“We have a lot of sports areas, we’ve got good libraries, what we really need is some arts balance in our city.”

A new gallery could attract business and people to Burnaby as well as create an anchor for cultural activity in the Metrotown area, she said.

“The arts speak to everyone. Everyone can have a passion in some field, whether it’s music or drama or painting, sculpture, your garden, whatever. Art affects everything.”

Sav Dhaliwal, chair of Burnaby’s parks commission, said in an interview that the arts council group was invited to make another presentation to city council as the rezoning

public hearing was not the appropriate venue for a discussion of its request.

He suggested the need for a higher standard of gallery is being served on a regional level by facilities in Vancouver and Surrey.

“The commission has not felt there is a great urgency of an art gallery while we have a few other things we need to be doing,” Dhaliwal said.

A new gallery is on the commission’s wish list but several projects are a higher priority for

the city and its amenity bonus funding, including more space for Cameron Recreation Centre, a new C.G. Brown Pool and a new community centre for North Burnaby.

“It’s a matter of priorities so we really need to put that in perspective,” he said, noting that council will eventually ask city staff to assess the priorities of Burnaby residents as part of the decision-making over how to spend the amenity funds.

new Metrotown Bus exchange

Current Metrotown Bus Exchange

Metrotown SkyTrain Station is the second busiest station in TransLink’s network, and one of the original Expo Line stations opened in 1986. Metrotown is also a major bus exchange, with direct bus services to almost every sub-regional service area. Both facilities are operating at or over capacity, and have significant access and accessibility challenges.

With funding provided through the Building Canada Fund, TransLink, in partnership with the Federal and Provincial governments, is about to undertake substantial upgrades to the station and bus exchange. Two open houses are being held at this early stage to gather feedback on the conceptual design.

Concept plans go to open houses June 4 and 5Wanda [email protected]

TransLink is seeking public feedback next week on its conceptual design for a major renovation of Metrotown SkyTrain Station and the adjacent bus exchange.

It’s holding two open houses at the station itself, at the east ground-level entrance, on Tuesday, June 4, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Wednesday, June 5, 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.

One of the original Expo Line stations that opened in 1986, Metrotown Station is the second busiest in TransLink’s network. It has a ridership of about 60,000 people per day with demand expected to increase by six per cent each year, according to a Burnaby city staff report.

The renovation is part of upgrades to seven stations being funded with $124 million from the federal and provincial governments and $29 million from TransLink.

It was built before Metropolis at Metrotown shopping centre existed next door and the upgrades are aimed at accommodating the current heavy usage and the anticipated increase in demand, says TransLink on its website. The work will also improve accessibility and make bus transfers easier.

According to a letter to the city from TransLink, the proposed changes include: faregates; installing up and down escalators from ground level to the platform at both ends; replacing the existing single elevator with two elevators located near the middle of the platform; new east, west and central entryways; an expanded bus exchange under the station at the west end, including a bus layover area east of the station; and direct pedestrian connections between the exchange and the station.

The bus exchange is earmarked for the south side of the station area, abutting the BC Parkway Urban Trail, between McKay and Dow avenues, the city

report said.“The existing transit exchange

could be decommissioned, and could potentially be reclaimed by the Metropolis at Metrotown mall site for additional commercial-retail space, or for mixed-used development.”

On Monday, Burnaby council decided to direct staff to work with TransLink to finalize its rezoning application for the project, to be presented at a future public hearing, but not before several councillors emphasized they have qualms about the plans.

Mayor Derek Corrigan said he is personally “very concerned” about moving the bus loop and potentially having buses go up Beresford Street, “contrary to what we’re trying to do on Beresford.”

Burnaby has designated Beresford for high-density residential development characterized by a pedestrian-oriented art walk featuring public art.

“I don’t want to give the impression we’re in agreement with some of the things said in the report,” Corrigan said.

City planning director Lou Pelletier reassured council members that staff are arranging a series of workshops for them to go over the project in more detail.

Detailed design work on the project is expected to continue through 2013, says TransLink. If it receives all the necessary approvals, construction is expected to start in 2014 and be complete in 2016.

The grisly aftermath of a bicycle accident on the Stanley Park causeway last week has left cyclists and drivers alike horrified by the thought.

On Saturday evening a female cyclist made contact with a pedestrian on the shared sidewalk, causing her to fall in front of a bus.

She was killed instantly.According to ICBC statistics,

fatalities are relatively rare, with a five-year average of nine deaths each year across the province.

But accidents tell a different story.

Of the 1,400 annual accidents involving bicycles in B.C., 960 take place in the busy Lower Mainland.

And because a bicycle is usually no match for a car, when an accident does take place many of those injuries can be fairly serious.

It’s poor timing that this horrific accident happened on the eve of Bike to Work Week

(May 27 to June 2), promoted by a non-profit society to urge more people to get out of their cars and onto two wheels.

But accidents like this won’t help them achieve that.

Not when infrastructure isn’t in place to protect cyclists from serious injuries, or even death.

Sometimes an accident is just that: an unpreventable incident of misfortunate circumstances. This fatality was not that.

Ironically, Vancouver’s current council has been one of the most vocal proponents of expanding bike lanes to protect cyclists downtown and on the Burrard Bridge.

That didn’t prevent Vancouver

Coun. Geoff Meggs, a vocal bicycle advocate, from being in a serious accident himself in March, 2010.

Meggs was riding on Angus Drive in Vancouver, a designated bicycle route, at West 51st Avenue when he was struck by a car and knocked unconscious.

At the time of the incident, fellow councillor Suzanne Anton said cyclist safety amounts to something of a paradox, where drivers will become more aware of cyclists if there are more cyclists, but there won’t be more cyclists until there is better protection for riders.

I have been in two serious accidents myself, which diminished my enthusiasm for two-wheeled transport.

The first was eight years ago in Toronto when I was struck by a Honda Civic and the driver jumped out and demanded I give

him $1,000 for the damage to his front end.

The second time I was powering down a hill in Vancouver through a right-of-way when a car blew a stop sign and sent me flying.

My shoulder has never felt 100 per cent since.

Cycling advocates are putting the cart before the horse.

We don’t have the infrastructure in place for commuter cycling in Lower Mainland communities.

How many more deaths will it take before we do?

Adrian MacNair is a reporter with the South Delta Leader, a sister

paper to the NewsLeader.

Cycling’s time hasn’t yet come

The pace of government action (or in this case, inaction) is something Canadians will never fully be able to grasp.

In the blink of an eye, the Conservative government can strip away the retirement dreams of millions of Canadians. But when a loyal soldier of the government stands accused of bilking taxpayers with improper expenses, the prime minister claims to be powerless, while money is quietly funneled out of his office to repay the alleged wrongdoing.

But this time, Canadians may finally have had enough. The cloud of scandal continues to grow over embattled Senator Mike Duffy. The former TV journalist is accused of fudging his expenses, eventually repaying the improperly claimed expenses with $90,000 received from Nigel Wright, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff who has since resigned.

Duffy has now quit the Tory caucus in the Senate, but he is so far rejecting calls to resign. And the prime minister seems unwilling to push him out.

Harper said he was “very upset” with the conduct of some parliamentarians and his own office, before hopping on a plane for a South American trade mission. The same prime minister who has shown the powers of a majority government are almost limitless is now unable to even mention the name of his disgraced colleague.

Canada’s 105 senators all make a basic salary of $135,200. And apart from apparently filing bogus expense claims, most Canadians would be hard pressed to name a single duty that senators fulfill.

Maybe Mike Duffy has done a service to his country after all. Maybe the senator’s actions will be the straw that broke the camel’s back and prompt Canadians to demand an end to the political embarrassment that is this nation’s Senate.

COMMENT

Re: Expect ‘slash and burn’ of B.C. public services: MLA Corrigan (NewsLeader, May 22)

I don’t get why re-elected NDP MLA Kathy Corrigan (Burnaby-Deer Lake) has already started her relationship with newly elected Premier Christy Clark on a negative note by saying we in Burnaby will be punished for voting in NDP members.

Why is it that the Corrigans always have to poke the Liberals with a stick instead of using a little honey as our mothers all taught us? Considering Kathy Corrigan was elected by the difference equal to one large housing complex, you’d think she would be more considerate of the over 50 per cent who didn’t vote for her and realize that Burnaby is changing and that maybe she should be a little more reflective of that change. I disagree that the NDP lost because they did a positive campaign. I think it was Christy who came out more optimistic and positive while the NDP continue to whine away and talk negatively through voices like the Corrigans.

If Christy and the Liberals are as clever at the political game as they have shown, Burnaby is in for some special treatment in an attempt to swing those last few hundred votes.

BLAME ELECTIONS BC

I had a rather disturbing phone call tonight from Elections BC.

They were taking a survey, wanting to talk to people who didn’t vote. I thought I might qualify since I spoiled my ballot. But then the caller wanted to know what year I was born, similar to a radio station survey. When I told her she said they’d “already filled their quota in that age range.” This raises several questions to me. First, what was the quota or was it zero?

Second, it leads me to conclude that if you’re over a certain age, Elections BC doesn’t care whether you voted or not. And third, it shows Elections BC is practicing the politics of division. This actually discourages people from voting, at least in my fractured riding of Burnaby-Lougheed. Who else can you blame but Elections BC for dividing our riding from Burnaby North and ensuring we had no all candidates meetings? They tried to discourage me again by moving the voting location further away.

I say to Elections B.C., look to yourself for reasons why people didn’t vote. Don’t try to hang a guilt trip on me. This is not the democracy which people have fought and died for throughout history.

And keep your cute little “I Voted” stickers. We deserve better.

HAS DEMOCACY BEEN USURPED?

Re: Oil pipeline to take all-new route from Surrey to Burnaby (NewsLeader, May 29)

Who has made the decision that Kinder Morgan can put their pipelines and extra storage tanks to bring this toxic dilbit into Burnaby? The residents of Burnaby have not been consulted. Has democracy been usurped by corporations and their servants in governments?

Those bad memories were tempered by ones of a Miss Totten, who was never his teacher but was willing to chat with him when he’d visit after school. “She was a refuge teacher,” Beaton said. “It’s a very pleasant memory.”

Retired teacher Jeanette Stevens (née Brue) only taught one year at Second Street, 1971 to 1972, but it was her first year of having her own class.

Along with being on probation as a new teacher, having her class located right next door to the principal’s office did nothing to reduce any nerves.

Teachers were required to say the Lord’s Prayer and do Bible readings daily, and attendance figures had to balance between those absent and present.

“At the end of the year you had to balance and you couldn’t leave until you balanced,” Stevens said with a laugh, adding there were no photocopiers. Copies of report cards had to be produced using carbon paper.

For the past five years Henshaw has made the trip to Burnaby and the pioneer tea from his home in Keremeos, B.C. a five-hour drive away.

His two granddaughters attend the school, but otherwise Henshaw says he just enjoys sharing his memories of what the school was like in the 1930s with today’s kids.

Living on a farm, he and his brothers woke at just after 5 a.m. and did an hour’s worth of chores before making the one-hour trek to school on old logging roads.

“We’d run into the odd bear and deer,” he said. The bears were “as scared of us as we were of them. They’d run one way and we ran the other.”

On rainy days they’d arrive soaked and the woman janitor, Mrs. Atkinson, was kind enough to take their wet clothes and hang them in the furnace room so they’d be dry by the time they had to head home.

Using a wagon, some mornings they’d deliver milk, eggs, cream and butter to homes on the way to school and pick up the empty bottles and payment on the way home.

Recess consisted of softball and football games and in the spring, marbles. The principal, Mrs. Potkins, “quite often would get down on her knees and get into a game of marbles with us. She always won,” Henshaw said with a laugh.

“You always let the principal win.”

The big events of the year were Christmas festivities and May Day with kids competing in maypole dances at Queen’s Park in New Westminster.

For Henshaw, one of his proudest moments was when his Grade 6 peers elected him to be “junior forest warden” to represent the school at forestry camp where kids were taught how to fight forest fires, an important skill when neighbourhoods were still mainly brush and trees. He returned to school and shared his newfound knowledge with his schoolmates.

When he visits with today’s students, Henshaw always comes away with the same feeling: “I wish I was young again. I look at these kids, to be their age and to live life over again,” he said before emphasizing, “In my era, not today’s era.”

• Second Street Community School celebrates its centennial with two days of events on Sept. 26 and 27. Info: www.100yearsatsecondstreet.com or 604-664-8821.

Half of toll bridge’s registered users haven’t used up free tripsJeff NagelBlack Press

Drivers who got 20 free crossings of the new Port Mann Bridge by registering early with the TReO tolling system are about to lose any unused credits.

Bridge officials say about half of the more than 800,000 TReO-registered drivers still have some free trips remaining, but they will expire as planned May 31.

It means many Port Mann Bridge users who have so far crossed for free will now have to start paying out of pocket to continue to cross the new span.

Drivers of regular vehicles who signed up by the end of February are still charged the half-price $1.50 per crossing until December, while those who aren’t registered pay the full $3 toll and some of them are also charged a $2.30 licence plate processing fee if they don’t pay within a week.

More than 90 per cent of regular morning commuters over the bridge are registered for electronic tolling detection, said Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson.

The small minority who aren’t yet registered are offered yet another carrot to sign up for TReO. Those who do so by Nov. 30 get two free crossings. And if they sign up by the end of June, TReO will convert any licence plate processing fees they were charged in the previous 30 days into an additional credit.

Johnson said use of the bridge continues to fluctuate between 100,000 and 115,000 vehicles per day, or about three million per month.

He said that’s essentially the same as with the old untolled bridge, adding that while some

traffic has diverted to crossings like the Pattullo or Alex Fraser to avoid tolls, other drivers who avoided the Port Mann due to congestion have come back.

“As construction progresses through Burnaby and Coquitlam, drivers will see even more time savings,” Johnson said.

The Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement project is still slated for completion by the end of this year, with work continuing on interchanges and lanes in Coquitlam, Burnaby and Vancouver.

One of the final stages of the work will be to open the remaining two lanes of the 10-lane Port Mann. The additional lanes will be segregated from the rest of traffic and offer a direct connection between Surrey and Coquitlam.

Meanwhile, the dismantling of the old Port Mann Bridge is becoming more obvious.

All the deck and most of the girders have now been removed from the north approach.

And Johnson said crews will begin dismantling the main span arch this summer, gradually lowering segments down to barges in the Fraser River.

HOV cheaters on Port Mann could lose discount

Toll collector TReO may use its cameras to detect and punish Port Mann Bridge users who improperly use the HOV lane to get a 25 per cent discount.

The HOV discount applies in the morning and afternoon weekday rushes and there have been reports of lone motorists swerving into the HOV lane just before the tolling sensors in order to pay less.

Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson said the RCMP enforce HOV lane rules but added TReO may take its own steps to deal with discount cheaters.

“We’re looking at doing our own monitoring,” he said, adding it’s too early to provide details on how that will work.

Solo drivers who TReO determines were using the HOV lane to get the discount could lose their HOV discount privileges, he said.

Johnson maintained HOV lane abuse on the bridge is not rampant.

“We’ve seen the vast majority of people who travel under the gantry in the HOV lane have more than one person in their vehicle.”

Port Mann Bridge free credits about to expire

People who use the HOV lane on the Port Mann Bridge with only one occupant could lose their discount privileges.

Tom FletcherBlack Press

VICTORIA – More that 1.8 million people voted in the May 14 provincial election, for a turnout of 58 per cent of eligible voters, up from the all-time low of 51 per cent in 2009.

The 2013 turnout rebounded to the same level as the 2005 election. Going back to 1983 vote, more than 70 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots, but the turnout steadily declined after that to 55 per cent in 2001.

The number of eligible voters has risen over the years with population growth. As a result, the B.C. Liberals got nearly 44,000 more votes this year than they did in 2009, with the NDP total increasing by 24,000. Overall, 161,000 more people voted in this election than four years ago.

Elections BC completed its final count Wednesday, including 180,000 ballots cast by people outside their home constituencies. That was double

the 2009 total for absentee ballots, and accounted for much of the increase in turnout over four years ago.

Absentee ballots reversed one close result, giving NDP candidate Selina Robinson a 35-vote win over B.C. Liberal Steve Kim in Coquitlam-Maillardville. That result will be subject to a judicial recount, where a judge examines all 21,000 ballots to confirm the outcome.

If the count is upheld, Robinson becomes the 34th NDP MLA, facing off against 49 B.C. Liberals in a legislature

that has almost the same party division as in the past four years. Delta South independent Vicki Huntington and the B.C. Green Party’s Andrew Weaver in Oak Bay-Gordon Head round out the 85-seat legislature.

In another close race, Saanich North and the Islands, NDP candidate Gary Holman extended his

margin of victory to 163 votes once absentee ballots were added to the election-night total that had him 50 votes ahead.

Once the results are made official June 5, MLAs can be sworn in and Premier Christy Clark can announce her cabinet lineup. Clark will also reveal where she will seek a seat, having lost Vancouver-Point Grey to the NDP’s David Eby.

Clark has said several B.C. Liberal MLAs have offered to step aside for her, and she is considering running for a seat outside her home city of Vancouver.

B.C. election turnout rises to 58%

Black Press FilesThe makeup of the B.C. legislature remains almost the same as it has been for the past four years, although there are numerous new faces on both sides.

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association invites you to tour 11 professionally renovated homes in the Lower Mainland on June 9 on their annual Parade of Renovated Homes.

Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., visitors will be able to look around the homes and talk with the renovators.

“Professional RenoMark renovators, ... will be on-site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Project values range widely, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can incorporate into their own renovations.”

Admission is by passport and will

cost $10 per person. Children 17 and under are free. You can purchase your passport at any home on the tour. Visit www.gvhba.org for a full list of participating homes. Because the homes are private residences, the tour is only open during the event date and times.

“FortisBC is extremely excited to again be the presenting sponsor of this popular consumer event,” says FortisBC regional energy solutions manager Dan Noel. “We look forward to combining the strengths of GVHBA and FortisBC to help the renovation industry in Metro Vancouver achieve innovative and successful results when it comes to their projects and energy requirements.”

Exciting things are happening at Appia Developments’ SOLO District with their upcoming release of the second residential phase and ongoing construction of the first phase.

Stratus, the first tower, will rise 45 storeys and will be available for buyers to move into in 2015. Meanwhile, Altus will begin sales in the near future.

“Altus will be the tallest building in Burnaby,” says Lisa Murrell, sales and marketing manager for Appia. “The views are amazing.”

Altus will be the equivalent of 55 storeys tall, with office space on the first 14 floors. Thus, the first residential floor will be 200 feet up, offering stunning views from every condominium home.

“The views start from the bottom (residential) floor,” Murrell says. “There will also be a quiet barbecue area and rooftop garden on that floor.”

At the very top of the building, you’ll find a huge amenity space that Appia is calling Club 55 with a barbecue area, full kitchen, media area and pool and ping-pong tables and generous outdoor deck space all for residents of Altus. The office tower will include a gym that residents have access to as well, and a multi-sport court on the third floor.

SOLO District, which stands for South of Lougheed, will eventually be comprised of four stunning residential towers (Cirrus and Aerius are the two others and will be released at a future date) and when complete, will house over 1,400 homes. It will also hold office space, commercial opportunities and plenty of green space. Among the tenants will be Burnaby’s first Whole Foods, right next door to Stratus.

“There are several other exciting anchor tenants to be announced,” says Murrell. “This is a very, very cool community.”

That’s no exaggeration. SOLO is steps away from Brentwood Town Centre, the Brentwood SkyTrain

station, restaurants, schools and leisure activities, so it’s perfectly situated.

“There’s everything you could possibly need here,” Murrell says. “Walkability was key.”

Stratus began sales last year, and Appia has since consulted with buyers and locals to find out what drew them to the master-planned community.

“It’s been really well-received by the community,” Murrell says. “We’re learning what people want.”

The homes themselves are spacious and open, ranging from approximately 539 up to about 1,700 square feet. Something that sets Altus apart are the choices it offers for three-bedroom units, which is something buyers have been asking for and Appia is happy to be able to provide in this new phase of SOLO District.

Among the features you’ll find in your new home are imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry in the kitchen and bathrooms, engineered wood flooring in the living areas and polished quartz countertops.

All of the homes at SOLO will be heated and cooled via geothermal heat exchange, which uses stored energy from the earth and is incredibly efficient. FortisBC notes that buyers will see great cost savings compared to conventional buildings, and less maintenance will be required.

For more information, visit www.solodistrict.com or call 604-298-8800.

Submitted photosAppia Developments will soon release its second phase of homes at SOLO, called Altus. It will be the tallest building in Burnaby, top, and will offer amazing views over the Lower Mainland, a fantastic location and a huge amenities space called Club 55, above, with a barbecue area, full kitchen and generous outdoor deck space.
