Historic Landscapes are places which possess a link or continuity of natural and built components that are united by human use and past events. Restoration is a process which involves the return of a building or site to its appearance at an earlier time. The building or landscape is recreated as it once was according to accurate historical or visual documentation. Renovation is often used interchangeably with rehabilitation to describe the modification of an existing building. Renovation extends the useful life of the building and may involve the upgrading of services. Rehabilitation refers to the process of returning a property to a usable state through repair or alteration. This process, also known as "adaptive re-use" encourages the contemporary use of buildings while preserving its significant historic features. The Heritage Advisory Committee is created by bylaw and members are appointed by City Council to provide advice on heritage maners. The New Wesnninster Heritage Advisory Committee members represent a variety of community interests and members are joined by advisors, such as the City Curator and City Librarian. SOME HERITAGE CONSERVATION TOOLS Official Community Plan (OCP) is a document describing a community's broad objectives and policies regarding the form and character of land use and servicing requirements. An OCP may outline standards and policies for the identification of heritage conservation goals, objectives and land use implications. Design Guidelines for heritage resources in development permit areas may be included in an OCP. Floor Space Ratio refers to the proportion of the area of a building to its site, usually expressed as a ratio (i.e. 0.5). The floor space ratio is derived by dividing the horizontal cross sectional area of the building measured to the outside of the outer walls of each floor level. Zoning refers to permined land uses in the municipality which are designated by bylaw and appear in zoning district schedules. Down Zoning is a reduction in the allowable floor space ratio of a building. It is often used to preserve heritage buildings which are larger than a new building which could be built on the site. Bonus Zoning includes bonus incentives which are non-discretionary. Additional density is granted to a builder according to a predetermined formulae governing the amount of additional space earned in each prescribed amenity. Performance Zoning or Amenity Zoning is similar to bonus zoning except that bonuses are based upon discretionary awards of extra density within flexible guidelines governing types of performance to be rewarded; it is the regulatory equivalent of discretionary grants. Conservation Covenants are legal voluntary agreements or contracts between a heritage propeny owner and local government outlining the respective responsibilities to protect heritage resources. Covenants are adopted by bylaw and registered on the propeny title. Heritage Designation is a process in which heritage buildings and sites, in whole or in part, are legally protected from demolition or inappropriate alteration. According to the Heritage Conservation Act of 1977, alterations and demolitions to designated buildings must first be approved by City Council. New Westminster currently has 13 voluntarily designated heritage buildings. Tax Incentives are suppon mechanisms which allow municipalities to give propeny owners a tax break for approved heritage conservation purposes. The propeny must be protected by provincial or local _designation, development permit or conservation covenant Various forms of tax incentives such as tax exemptions, freezes or deferment may be offered by a local government. Development Permit Areas are identified in an Official Community Plan for the purpose of regulating the development of heritage resources. Owners within these areas must apply for a development permit and all changes must conform to specified terms and conditions before a building permit is issued. Transfer of Development Rights occur when an owner is allowed to move unused development rights from a protected heritage site to another propeny in the community. Development rights are defined in terms of a given number of square meters of buildable area. BiII 77: Heritage Tree Designation is an amendment of the Municipal Act (1992) for the purpose of protecting n-ees. The bylaw specifically prohibits and regulates the cutting and removal of trees and regulates activities that may damage n-ees. It further allows Council to identify significant trees or shrubs and assess or inspect specified n-ees. Temporary Heritage Designation is a mechanism which allows local governments time to review a threatened heritage resource. This designation may take various forms, including witholding development permit approval or establishing a one-time control period. Heritage Foundations are societies formed to promote good preservation practices, heritage awareness and voluntary heritage designation. A heritage foundation offers financial incentives and technical advice to homeowners for restoration projects and benefits communities by increasing neighbourhood livability, tourism and environmental awareness. Victoria, Vancouver and Saanich currently have heritage foundations; New Westminster has recently established one.

A number of alternative crossings were developed for three possible corridors: 1. Existing Pattullo Bridge Corridor 2. Sapperton Bar Corridor • New crossing located east of the existing Pattullo Bridge that would provide a more direct connection between Surrey and Coquitlam 3. Tree Island Corridor • New crossing located west of the existing Pattullo Bridge that would essentially function as an alternative to the Queensborough Bridge Based on the initial screening work that has been undertaken, six alternatives have been identified for further consideration: 1. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - Rehabilitated Bridge (3 lanes) 2. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - Rehabilitated Bridge (4 lanes) 3. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (4 lanes) 4. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (5 lanes) 5. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (6 lanes) 6. Sapperton Bar Corridor - New Bridge (4 lanes) coupled with Rehabilitated Pattullo Bridge (2-3 lanes) Options involving a new bridge are based on the implementation of user based charges (tolls) to help pay for the bridge upgrades.

  • Outcomes in Suicidal Bridge Jumping in the Lower Mainland-JRB
    Outcomes in suicidal bridge jumping in the Lower Mainland by DYLAN STEPHANIAN BASc, The University of British Columbia, 2014 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Experimental Medicine) The University of British ColumbiA (Vancouver) December, 2019 © Dylan Stephanian, 2019 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the thesis entitled: Outcomes in suicidal bridge jumping in the Lower Mainland Submitted by Dylan Stephanian in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MAster of Science in Experimental Medicine. Examining committee Dr Jeff Brubacher, Emergency Medicine Supervisor Dr Doug Brown, Emergency Medicine Supervisory Committee Member Dr Andrew MacPherson, Emergency Medicine External Examiner ii Abstract On average, one person attempts suicide by jumping from a bridge in the Lower Mainland of British ColumbiA once every 14 days, but the population that jumps and their outcomes following a suicide attempt are poorly understood. A multi-agency retrospective chart review was performed using records from the Canadian Coast Guard, Joint Rescue Coordination Center, police departments, and the British Columbia Coroner’s Service to identify incidents. A complete picture of each incident was then built by identifying corresponding BC Ambulance Service and hospital records, and linking all records for each incident. This methodology successfully identified a comprehensive list of incidents, and may be useful in future prehospital and search and rescue medicine research. Records from the ten agencies involved in these incidents were collected and linked to create a dataset describing all known jumps from a bridge >12m in height in the Lower Mainland of BC from January 1, 2006 to February 28, 2017.
