C ity ,ado pts new pave plan By JEFF NAGEL r, THE CITY will abandon its old systctn of making homeown- ers pay a big chunk of the cost of repaving their street. Local Improvement Projects had been succcssl'ul when the local economy was strong. but property owners havc \.otcd thein down nearly every time in'recent years. - . "Basically ihe system just doesn't worC any more," said councillor David Hull. He said the mentality of taspayers has changed. "They're saying 'Hey, 1 paid for it once, I shouldn't have to pay for it again and again." The decision came after public works director Herb Dus- dal warned streets will continue to deteriorate unless t he city switches to a different system. Undera Local Improvement Project (LIP), if enough pco- ple on a residential street voted in favour, they'd all pay 40 per cent of the cost of repaving. The city picked up the rest. And the city had already boosted its share dramatically over the years - from a 20 per cent subsidy to 40 per cent then to 60 per cent in 2000. ' A block of Soucie Ave. was paved after that, but there have been no others. "It works when things are going great," said councillor Marylin Davies. "But we had to look for another way." She said property owners on streets that are presently gravel, such as Skeena St. where councillor Rich McDaniel liks, will still have to pay for pavement through an LIP. But all streets that have been paved at some time in the past will now be repaved according to a schedule that will be determined by city public works officials. "Hopefully people will be happy with it," she said. "We're going to be able to do it as need be and as we can afford it and it will be better for everybody." When city council has contemplated ending LIPS in thc past, it was always warned a major tax increase would bc required to get a replacement system on track. Council is being asked lo approve road reconslructioti prqjccts worth close to $I million this year.

"The audit identified a gencral deterioration in the state of the road network on Nisga'a lands and other con- cerns related to low levels of logging activity," board chair Bruce Frascr said. He said the govern- ment has a treaty obliga- tion to bring the forest lands on Nisga'a territory up to agreed standards.

The idea is that no one flying should have to pay more than the former system offered,” said com- pany official Angela Mah of one-way rates introduced in 2003. But she conceded there may be times the new rates, primarily offered through Air Canada’s website, may be more espensive‘than the discounts which were elimi- nated at the end of January.‘ Those discounts were based on full-fare rates and had conditions such as stay- ing a Saturday night or re- quiring seven or 14-day ad- vance bookings which may have made things, difficult I ,. for people with medical ap- pointments or who had to travel because of the death of a family member. “People were saying to us they might not need to stay for a Saturday night,” said Mah.
