Good grief, stop wasting tax payer dollars on this ! Enough is enough. Until there is actual detox and mental health services for these people, nothing will change. Stop throwing good money at bad ideas.
Nice, so now every car, truck, quad, sled, etc will be dropped off here so they don’t have to drop it at the reservation. People who work there don’t have to pay taxes. They were already given the land and buildings for free. Now just more lost tax revenue for what ? Absolutely everything about this is ridiculous !
How is it that we haven’t grown in population? Yet the amount of new homes, condos, and new neighbourhoods being built and developed is never been so high! Explain to me that with all that new construction, there still is a shortage of rentals I believe? Not to mention the increase in traffic everywhere in town. I’m pretty sure we are well above the population of 71000 as stated and haven’t increased. The math isn’t mathing as they say!
We need more corporate development in high paying industrial jobs, to attract more people and professionals. We can barely afford what we have now with the tax burden on the current tax payer base. We can’t just keep raising taxes because we want nice, unnecessary things like performing arts centres.
Why would you not push ahead with foothills to ospika blvd. Through Ginters. There would still be lots of green space, while still allowing for traffic increases in already busy congested roadways. Does no one see the amount of condos/new builds going up in that area ?!
398 voted against this is pathetic! I’m not against maintaining our facilities, but come on 37 million dollars. My household was 2 votes against this , due to our already astronomical property taxes.
Moving him from the confluence of those two highways to the downtown will do absolutely nothing besides cost taxpayers more money! Not only just to move but maintain due to vandalism. Move him across the highway north or south, there’s plenty of room and access there! For crying out loud what kind of incompetence is running this city?! ENOUGH ALREADY with wasteful spending.
As if he doesn’t know why ? Come on. If you don’t know that ? Then you shouldn’t be the mayor. You’re supposed to be the man in charge of the city Simon. You can fire that idiot Walter babicz too after you find out why she was terminated mayor !
I’m all for keeping green spaces. However at what point does it become important to push foothills through Ginters to Ospika and ferry, to allow for traffic increases in the area. The amount of new buildings in that area will create an enormous amount of increased traffic. We need to be thinking long term.
$25-30k to put and Maintain some wild flowers on 1 stretch of median ?! Good god just leave it dandelions for crying out loud ! What a waste of taxpayers dollars! And 37mill for some pool maintenance enough already!
Why is it 1.2 million dollars to build a shelter? Good god is everything gold plated? How about we spend less on this, repair it, or at least see if CN rail would collaborate! Also if the museum won’t sign a long term deal to maintain and operate it, why would the city even entertain this idea? Fiscal responsibility needs to used more often in this city.
Green space is great ! The road should be pushed through Ginters to reduce traffic congestion in the new developments. Even with this road, there still would be plenty of green space. Not to mention moores meadow is just down the road.
I don’t get garbage pick up so put the price tag on utilities bill, I’m not paying 5.8% extra tax for this nonsense! Learn to deal with your garbage people.
