Full RecordingRapid Transit Mobility Hub - Councillor Rogers
Council requested detailed conceptual drawings and traffic analysis from BC Transit and the Ministry of Transportation regarding the proposed rapid transit hub at Atkins Road, emphasizing the need for robust public consultation.
"Councillor Rogers voiced concerns over the lack of specific conceptual drawings and potential congestion issues arising from the light installation. Councillor Mattson objected to using the land for a park and ride, arguing it was a 'horrible waste of property' given the town's density goals. Council sought clarity on land ownership (CRD vs. private). The motion required staff to request comprehensive details and commitment to public consultation from BC Transit and MoTI."
