I would love more down town public washrooms. Unfortunately, we all know they will not be respected, they will be abused and ruined and will ultimately just be a money pit for taxpayers. So thats a big no for me, on public spending down town. At least until we can deal with the massive problem consuming our doen town
The homeless have so many mental health issues that despite normal washroom availability they will still continue to use the streets, sidewalks, entrances, and alleys as their preferred defecation destination.As for the law-abiding public such as myself, I would sooner walk through the radioactive sarcophagus shielding the destroyed Chernobyl nuclear reactor than visit a PG public washroom.
I am surprised they don’t have to tear the entire building down and rebuild it.How could updating the heating and AC possibly cost nearly three million?
I remember 7-8 years ago that people called us tin foil hat wearing lunatics for warning about UNDRIP. They plan to use it to remove most access to the land for all non-indigenous people. “Settlers” (even if born here) won’t have access to recreational camping/fishing etc at all under UNDRIP. Whether they go that far with it here, we’ll see, but so far, the courts seem excited to see how far they can go with it.
There needs to be two BCs, South BC and North BC, like the Dakotas, and North BC has it's own representatives, its' own provincial premier, it's own rules and laws that fall within the laws of Canada. And then the south can stay as orange as they want. Orange as in NDP, not orange as in the buffoon down south.
Spending billions only to make just enough “housing” to qualify for some photo ops and news headlines… meanwhile they’ve had a big hand in doubling housing prices here…
My comment cancelled after 24 hours.That's why comedy is dead nowadays.You cannot say anything in jest that is the least bit offensive about anyone or anything without being cancelled.RIP Norm MacDonald....you wouldn't survive today.
With EBY driving and First Nations controlling the direction , this bus won't leave the station. I agree with BGeez and Chester..Dump the losers from the south and control our own future. The south of B.C. could join Washington and Oregon and protest their little butts off .
If UNDRIP and UNDRIPA had been around in 1950, then Kitimat and Alcan would not have been built.Neither would have the WAC Bennett dam, the Revelstoke and Mica dams, Tumbler Ridge, the transcanada ,yellowhead, and coquihalla highways.Neither would have BC Ferries terminals been built in Twassassen, Swartz Bay, Horseshoe Bay and Departure Bay.YVR would also not be located where it is now.
Everybody p o o p sAs a citizen of PG I have found myself in need of "the facilities" a time or two while trying to enjoy a walk in the park or simply getting around town on the bus system Having the park washrooms closed from October to May means that anyone who cannot hold back the call of nature is put in the awkward position of soiling themselves or using nature's toilet Think of the kids who might be using the park and are of potty training age, yet have no where to use the bathroom....you want to pack them up in the car and have them have an accident in the car seat? Wich by the way are a pain to wash and also a couple hundred bucks to replace?Everyone wants to be so negative and assume if we get something nice it will be ruined, but good grief public washrooms and indoor plumbing have helped humanity move towards cleaner and more sanitary living conditions the world over
Washrooms are a good plan. Considering maximum security penitentiaries have the same sort of “bomb proof” facilities surely the city can provide roughly the same sort of thing. Suspect the biggest headache would be dealing with contractor deficiencies toward the end of construction. Often find when it comes to smaller construction projects, it’s better if municipalities do the work themselves rather than contractors who often are a pain to deal with. Of course, nothing is 100% perfect & that’s when the whiners from the sidelines will have their over the top comments.
My point being that UNDRIP and Eby's foolish UNDRIPA are the biggest roadblocks and obstacles to B.C.'s economic prosperity and have also created justified anxiety to taxpaying property owners.No other region in the world, except B.C., listens to and sheepishly follows silly UN doctrines.Premier Feebly and his junta have ruined B.C. by following the leftist loon ideas of climate change idiocy , UNDRIP, and decriminalization.Now they are realizing the folly of their thinking and trying to make it RIGHT.
public washrooms, nice idea, may well be okay, except, they would have to be manned the full time they are open.... and that is another cost not considered.
There are already plenty of tax dodging churches in Prince George with barely used washrooms that could open their doors to the homeless. Don't need public fundedwashrooms.
