Saltwater Creek Park Linkage
Earlier postings to the HIR News website have informed residents about representations made by the PBC and PTBC to the Mayor and to Councillor Pforr, about the Saltwater Creek Park Linkage (see posting on 8 March 2012).Recently Hugh Beutel, Strata Manager to the PBC and PTBC, took Eddy Sarroff, a long-time GCCC Councillor and a current Mayoral Candidate, on a tour of inspection of the site.
Mr Sarroff sent the e-mail reproduced below following his visit:

This proposal does not have my support & I intend to oppose any moves to acquire the privately owned land to create a public pathway. It is of great concern that the proposed pathway is on flood prone land & I noted during the inspection numerous constraints associated with this proposal. I feel that the residents may be able to mount a legal challenge to this proposal, which could incur substantial costs to the city over and above the unfunded cost which will also make this project prohibitive. It is my intention if I am elected as mayor of the city to scrap this project & to give residents peace of mind that there will not be any intrusion into their residential amenity. I would appreciate it if you could pass this onto the concerned residents & thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. Regards, Eddy Sarroff |
