January 2011 Report

Re Emergency Access/Slope Instability
Mark Nelson ( Pres) sent an email to Mana Daniwall (Transportation Planner) Jamie Boan ( (Transportation Engineering) and Dan Barnscher ( Deputy Fire Chief) asking them to attend our March 2 General Meeting to report on progress made.
Mr Daniwall replied asking Mark to be involved in upcoming workshops with key stakeholders (City Departments & BNSF).

Mark emailed Mayor Watts & Councillor Rasode asking for a meeting to discuss the recent slides along the BNSF and other ongoing issues (emergency access, drainage, traffic calming, washrooms).
That meeting is now scheduled for March 9 2011

Mark emailed Dan Barnscher for a report on the recent issue of BNSF not following the Stopped Train Protocol.
Dan replied that Transport Canada is conducting an investigation and he will keep us informed.

Karen Macpherson(Past Pres) and Margot Thomson ( Chair Emergency Preparedness Committee) have established a protocol for dealing with responses to community concerns, issues, emails and the media. All issues other than Emergency Preparedness will be responded to by the President or Past President in order that there be one coherent voice that speaks for the CBPOA.
The membership will be kept informed.

Re Traffic Calming
After meeting with Engineering last fall, it was agreed that we survey the residents of McBride ( from Sullivan to Blackie Spit) and Bayview for their support of some form of traffic calming. Malcolm Stewart ( Treasurer & our always smiling survey organizer ) will prepare a survey to be delivered to the residents involved.
