  • Take Train to Vancouver, Then Cycle Home to Seattle
    seattletimes.com http://www.seattletimes.com/life/travel/take-train-to-vancouver-then-cycle-home-to-seattle/ Take train to Vancouver, then cycle home to Seattle Bill Thorness Whenever I visit Vancouver, B.C., I itch for my bike. It’s a stellar cycling city, with miles of seawall trail and well-signed, interconnected neighborhood routes. But the great cycling doesn’t stop at the city’s edge, so on a recent trip, I charted a homeward path from Vancouver to Seattle that took me aboard ferries for a fun and adventurous detour: via the roads and trails of Vancouver Island’s Saanich Peninsula and Washington’s northeast Olympic Peninsula. You can easily make a vacation on your bike with camping gear, rail and ferry transit, and a few days to explore. Amtrak [www.AmtrakCascades.com] deposits you in the heart of Vancouver, just a block from the False Creek cycling trail. My spouse and I quickly connected with the Adanac greenway route that led to our Airbnb. A day tour took us on trails skirting downtown: Coal Harbour, Stanley Park and English Bay. Cafes on Granville Island sustained us, and East Van[couver] microbreweries revived us post-tour.

  • 4.1 River Hydraulics and River Morphology
    George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project – PART B RIVER HYDRAULICS AND RIVER MORPHOLOGY ASSESSMENT 4.1 River Hydraulics and River Morphology Assessment Highlights: The proposed bridge will have a clear-span over the Fraser River South Arm, which eliminates potential changes to river hydraulics or river morphology resulting from the new structure. The Fraser River South Arm is dynamic with scour in the order of several meters during freshet and migrating sand dunes with heights of up to four metres. Removal of the Tunnel is not expected to result in changes in water level or affect flow splits between the main channel and nearby channels. Suspended sediment load in the Fraser River is naturally high and the temporary increase in suspended sediments anticipated during Tunnel removal is expected to be relatively minor. Tunnel removal is expected to result in temporary bed lowering between the Tunnel and the Lulu Island‒Delta watermain; however, with monitoring and mitigation, no permanent effect on the watermain is expected. No Project-related long-term residual effects or cumulative effects on river hydraulics or river morphology are expected. 4.1 River Hydraulics and River Morphology This section describes the existing conditions related to water levels, velocities, and flow patterns (river hydraulics), and their influence on sedimentation and erosion (morphology) within the Fraser River, as well as anticipated Project-related changes in such conditions. River hydraulics and river morphology is studied as an intermediate component (IC), and information on predicted Project-related change in river hydraulics and river morphology is used to support the assessment of effects of the Project on fish and fish habitat (Section 4.4 Fish and Fish Habitat), marine mammals (Section 4.6 Marine Mammals), and marine use (Section 5.2 Marine Use).

  • History of Lulu Island by Thomas Kidd
    HISTORY OF LULU ISLAND And Occasional Poems By THOMAS KIDD WRIGLEY PRINTING COMPANY LIMITED 1927 Reprinted by RICHMOND PRINTERS LTD. 1973 Reprinted by City of Richmond Archives 2007 A Note about the 2007 Reprint of Thomas Kidd’s “History of Lulu Island and Occasional Poems” In 2007, the Friends of the Richmond Archives and the City of Richmond Archives decided to prepare a third edition of Thomas Kidd’s “History of Lulu Island and Occasional Poems,” using funds provided by the Friends of the Richmond Archives. Kidd’s book was first published in 1927 by Wrigley Printing Company, and a second edition was printed in 1973 by Richmond Printers. At the time the decision was made to prepare a third edition, the Archives had only a few copies of the first and second print editions in its possession. The first edition of “History of Lulu Island and Occasional Poems” included thirty-one poems written by Mr. Kidd, only one of which was included in the 1973 reprint. In addition to removing the majority of the poems from the book, the compilers of the 1973 reprint included a table of contents and index, and changed the title of the book to “History of Richmond Municipality.” They also added 10 photograph plates reproduced from photographs provided courtesy of the Harold L. Steves Picture Collection and depicting scenes more recent than the stories told in the text. The 2007 reprint follows the 1973 reprint. It includes only one of Mr. Kidd’s poems and reproduces the table of contents and index (the index is not included in the PDF version).
