The mayor has stated publicly
that only about 40 people
are actively involved
with the Colliery Dam Issue.
He should know better.
The Park is on the Agenda once again this Monday, July 6 at 4:30.
The current topic will be regarding the stay and appeal process directing the City to choose one of two remediation options for the lower dam. The stay has been denied and there is a demand to choose between 2 options by July 24.
It seems apparent that City Staff will be recommending the alternate emergency spillway (swale) for the far side of the bridge at the lower dam. It would empty into Harewood Creek and allow for more than twice the capacity of our existing spillway. The swale would be between 10 and 30 meters wide and up to 5 meters deep and would cost between $3 and $6 million.
Five Councillors, Fuller, Kipp, Hong, Bestwick and Yoachim have supported a proposal for work to be done at the middle dam this year and that a select committee be set up to establish what might be required at the lower dam. The proposal is similar to that put out by CDPPS on April 17 and we support their proposal.
The Mayor, 3 councillors, and DSS do not support this proposal.
We urge anyone who is available to attend the council session
this coming Monday at 4:30.
