trek Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Nice. I'm liking the interiors of the station; especially that Waterfront entrance. I'll definitely check out every station when the line opens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradMayFan Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Odd thing, today I was in Sandon and there they have a bunch of old trolley busses. They also have part of the busses for sale. I bought a "The Buzzer" holder. http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll70/MaxNV/097.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll70/MaxNV/098.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll70/MaxNV/099.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll70/MaxNV/101.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll70/MaxNV/100.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll70/MaxNV/103.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll70/MaxNV/104.jpg I fail at images, if anyone wants to fix them go ahead.

trek Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Compensation award to be appealed in Canada Line dispute Jim Goddard VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) 2009-06-19 16:58 VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The court decision giving compensation to a Cambie business owner for losses caused by Canada Line construction is being appealed. The rapid transit operators believe the court award could lead to other costly settlements. The owner of Hazel and Co., Susan Heyes, was awarded $600,000 plus legal costs by the BC Supreme Court for losses she suffered during four years of construction in front of her shop. Rapid transit line lawyer George Macintosh doesn't think the judge was right to say someone inconvenienced by a public project automatically deserves compensation. "What's at stake within the four walls of the lawsuit, is the legal principle of whether that's compulsory on government, whether that's mandatory." Heyes feels appalled she is has to go back to court. "I absolutely believe the decision Justice Pitfield made was the right one and it should stand for all the small businesses everywhere, that this decision must stand." Meanwhile 150 other Cambie business owners hope to launch a class action suit for losses they claim to have suffered during Canada Line construction. Excellent.

That would be straying too far north. What kind of a park preservationist/environmentalist are you anyways? The golf course can give a little.

Lots of work to do, I sure hope Canada doesn't just sit on their hands... Dude, as much as we fight, we should make this happen. Expand sktyrain to the jucntion in cloverdlale, build a NS line, and buld out form there, and you planrers could make a cool town that has it;'s small town charm and big town class.

The golf course can give a little. What? It goes in front of the park, and is burried so it's a short term problem. I didn't check it that hard, but the west end could make a groovyh golf course of course! It's just the route. Fight me all you want I guess.
