Your Company Name - April 14,2015 Regular Council

Mayor Clay introduced artist Tracey Costescu as follows and invited her to speak: Tracey Costescu is a Vancouver artist specializing in realistic fine art. Her mediums of choice include acrylic, watercolor, oil, charcoal, and graphite. Tracey does commissioned portraits, and private collectors hold her artwork throughout Canada and the US. She also teaches drawing and painting in watercolor, acrylic, and oil at the Port Moody Arts Centre. Tonight Tracey is sharing a personal favourite of hers titled Peeling Paint.

Ms. Costescu provided background information on the painting and noted that beauty is everywhere, and that one only has to look to find it.

Yuko Suda, Port Moody, expressed grave concerns about the traffic detour through Glenayre caused by the closure of lanes on Clarke Road due to the sinkhole that resulted from Evergreen Line tunnel boring. Ms. Suda noted that many vehicles are now speeding through her neighbourhood through three crosswalks and two school zones. Ms. Suda expressed concern for pedestrian safety, especially for children, noting that she herself has twice nearly been hit crossing the detour route.

Allan Neilson, General Manager of Policy, Planning, and Environment at Metro Vancouver, noted that Metro Vancouver plans to remove the Belcarra cabins in order to expand the picnic area and provide public access to the beach. Mr. Neilson noted that Metro Vancouver commissioned an assessment of the cabins in 2012, which found the cabins in need of major repairs, and that the cost of maintaining residential use would be $800,000. Mr. Neilson noted that the board intends to continue with the plan to demolish the cabins and open the area to the public.

Alexy Flasha, Port Moody, also expressed concerns about the traffic volume resulting from the Evergreen Line construction detour, noting that a pedestrian was hit yesterday. Ms. Flasha requested that a no fly zone be instituted for all of Glenayre for the safety of children and all pedestrians.

Michael Elson, Port Moody, spoke on behalf of the Belcarra South Preservation Society, and noted that the residents have maintained the cabins at their own expense despite never having had certainty about their leases. Mr. Elson noted that it is unreasonable to repair the cabins to heritage standard at a higher cost.

Jo Ledingham, Belcarra, noted that she has lived at the Belcarra Cabins since 1964, and that the residents have upgraded and maintained the cabins at their own expense, and would allow members of the public to go through the cottages to access the beach. Ms. Ledingham requested that Council give the residents the opportunity to remain in the cabins.

Brent Hilpert, Port Moody, expressed concerns about the grade calculation in the proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment, noting that properties with retaining walls built right on the property line would have an unfair advantage over neighbours who do not have retaining walls at the property line.

Victor Point, Port Moody, and an unidentified neighbour expressed concerns about vehicles travelling at excessive speeds on the Evergreen Line detour route through their neighbourhood, as well as the lack of competent traffic control persons on the detour route. They noted that they saw speeds of 65 kilometres per hour on the speed reader boards that have been placed along the detour.

Kerry LeCorre, Port Moody, expressed concerns about the Evergreen Line traffic detour through Glenayre, noting that trucks and buses are going through a neighbourhood that had only had local traffic. Ms. LeCorre suggested that the speed limit be lowered to 45 or 40 kilometres per hour during the detour.

Ms. Farrell also presented some landscaping plans, noting that trees planted will be species native to the area, and that all vegetation will be under warranty for survival. Ms. Farrell answered questions from Council on traffic management, permanent fencing, and contingency plans.
