Peters Ms Peters served as U.S. Secretary of Transportation from 2006 to 2009. Prior to that, she was a Sr. Vice President and National Director for Transportation Policy and Consulting for HDR, Inc. From 2001 to 2005, Ms Peters served as the Federal Highway Administrator for the U.S. Department of Transportation; before that, she served as the Arizona Department of Transportation Director. She is currently Principal of Mary Peters Consulting Group, LLC, an organization dedicated to finding new and bet- ter ways to address America’s infrastructure requirements. She currently serves on the Board of Trustees for Rand Corporation and as a Member of the Board for HDR, Inc. Ms Peters was appointed to the Arizona Commerce Authority by Gov. Jan Brewer, and supports the nationally recognized BASIS Schools as a School Board Member at the Chandler, Flagstaff and Peoria Campuses. Another Look At Highway 101 Improvement Project was invited to come visit the Montecito-Santa Barbara area last week specifically to take a look at the roadway where the proposed widening is planned for the 101 Freeway. I met over lunch with several proponents Iof the Community Coalition Alternative Plan (CCAP), who are advocat- ing for a simpler, more basic solution than what was proposed in the Draft Environmental Impact Review (DEIR) produced by Caltrans. We took a lengthy tour of the area looking at both the freeway and the adjoining inter- sections and streets. They explained what Caltrans had proposed as well as contrasting the alternative. Projects developed to blend with the fabric of the community they serve “lay easy on the land,” rather than creating a scar on the environment Building The 101 Freeway is part of a historic parkway: the first project of its kind Peace of west of the Mississippi River. I was awe-struck by the natural beauty of this area and the breath-taking views of the coastline as we drove both north and south on the 101 Freeway. With all respect to Caltrans, the proposed complex urban-scale design pro- posed for the three-mile corridor in Montecito appears better suited to a city Mind like Los Angeles. The Caltrans proposal would widen the freeway, add high- occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes in Montecito, and eliminate the left ramps at the Cabrillo and Sheffield interchanges. It would significantly expand the footprint of the 101 Freeway in this area, and would raise the profile of the southbound lanes, eliminating much of the beautiful view of the coastline from the northbound lanes. Given the historic and scenic beauty of the area and the significant change to the area necessitated by the Caltrans plan, the members of the Montecito Association have offered an alternative plan; one that would accomplish the objective of increasing capacity and relieving congestion on the freeway as supported by local voters in Measure A, while preserving the natural beauty of the area. In developing the alternative plan, the Montecito Association examined safety data and found that the left on- and off-ramps are superior in terms of safety when compared to most of the existing right on- and off- ramps in the area. Also due to the 16 freeway entrances and exits in the 3-mile corridor, they recommend commencing the HOV lanes to the south of the Sheffield interchange. Further, the alternative plan would, according to an examination by engi- neers, potentially shave two years off the time to complete the project and reduce the cost in excess of $50 million. For the Cabrillo-Hot Springs inter- Visit Our Website GIFFIN & CRANE GiffinAndCrane.com change alone the alternative cuts the cost from $50 million for the Caltrans GENERAL CONTRACTORS, INC.

  • Self-Guided Stanley Park

    Self-Guided Stanley Park

    STANLEY PARK – VANCOUVER’S URBAN OASIS Stanley Park is the largest city park in Canada (404 hectares - 1,000 acres). Described by one local writer as a 'thousand-acre therapeutic couch', it began as a military reserve in the mid-1800s to guard the entrance to Vancouver harbour. The Vancouver Parks Board supervises it - and just about every resident in the city has an opinion if anybody has plans to make any changes other than cutting the grass. Much of Stanley Park’s design was based on the planning principles of Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer behind New York’s Central Park. How long? 1 – 4 hours How do I get there? · Walking: Stanley Park is located in the West End of downtown Vancouver. If you’re walking from downtown, have your hotel concierge point you in the direction of Robson Street. Head west on Robson until you come to Denman Street. Turn left (south) on Denman and walk until you reach English Bay beach and you will see the seawall that winds along the shore. Follow the seawall towards the right (west) and you will enter Stanley Park. · Bike/rollerblade: If you’re interested in biking or rollerblading in and around Stanley Park you will need to go to Spokes Bicycle Rentals on Denman Street (see above for walking instructions or take a taxi) – 1798 West Georgia Street (at Denman). From there, the staff at Spokes will point you in the right direction for travelling around the seawall. · Vancouver Trolley: Use your Vancouver Trolley Pass to get into Stanley Park – ask your hotel concierge for the nearest trolley stop.
  • History of Vancouver

    History of Vancouver

    Intersection at Granville and Hastings Streets, early 1900s. HISTORY OF VANCOUVER Vancouver’s history as an urban centre got off to a snappy start in 1867. All that was here on the south shore of Burrard Inlet was the Hastings Sawmill and a couple of tiny native family groupings too small to call settlements. It was so quiet you could shout across the inlet and be heard by someone on the other side. Then, on the last day of September, a ruddy-faced and forever- talking saloon keeper from New Westminster, John Deighton (they called him “Gassy Jack”), came rowing around the heavily forested peninsula that loomed over the entrance to the inlet and aimed his rowboat straight for the mill. With him in the boat was his native wife, her mother and a cousin, a couple of sticks of furniture, an old yellow dog and a barrel of whiskey. The history of this area was about to change forever. The canny Deighton knew that the workers in the mill had nowhere nearby to get a drink. They either had to walk 8 Photo courtesy of City of Vancouver Archives the many miles through the forest (where they might meet a bear) to New Westminster, or row themselves there around the peninsula on a trip that would take the better part of a day. There was a larger mill on the other side of the inlet, with a tiny settlement around it, but it was run by the stern Sewell Moody, and he allowed no liquor of any kind. Deighton beached his tiny craft on the shore near the mill and approached the workmen.

    The Seawall Walk Around Stanley Park Is Recognized As One of the Great Scenic Walks in the World

    The Seawall Walk around Stanley Park is recognized as one of the great scenic walks in the world. The 10 km (6.25 mi.) seawall loop around Stanley Park is Vancouver’s most popular fresh air attraction.

Since then visitors and locals alike have enjoyed exercising on this world famous pathway. Centrally located in downtown Vancouver, Stanley Park is a must see attraction for those looking for things to do in Vancouver. A popular starting point for the Seawall walk is the east side of Stanley Park Drive by Coal Harbour (See Map). From here, you will walk past the Vancouver Rowing Club and have a great view of Canada Place the Harbour Centre Tower and the city skyline. As you walk towards Hallelujah Point you will pass the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and a statue of Harry Jerome. Next is the Nine O’clock Gun.

    Public Art Adds to a Neighbourhood's Palette

    SUBSCRIBE LOG IN URBAN DESIGN Public art adds to a neighbourhood's palette As Vancouver has found, open-air sculptures can bring an identity and other benefits to a community, even if the contribution is hard to financially measure GUY DIXON PUBLISHED MARCH 5, 2018 UPDATED 23 HOURS AGO The Vancouver West End Business Improvement Area’s new slogan is ‘three great streets, one amazing neighbourhood,’ a clear tie-in to the A-maze-ing Laughter sculptures in Morton Park. RAFAL GERSZAK/THE GLOBE AND MAIL Happiness doesn't have a price, when it comes to public art and commercial real estate. The shouts of children playing around A-maze-ing Laughter, the canned shutter clicks of SUBSCRIBE LOG IN tourists taking selfies with the 14 bronze maniacally grinning men, the quiet sense of place that the sculpture gives neighbourhood locals: All are immeasurable. Yet, to keep the work by Chinese artist Yue Minjun on the corner of Davie and Denman streets, at the spot in Vancouver's West End, across the street from English Bay Beach, did require roughly $1.5-million from Lululemon founder Chip Wilson and his wife, Shannon, to make the statue permanent in 2012. STORY CONTINUES BELOW ADVERTISEMENT That gift helped to set a precedent. The work was originally mounted by the 2009-11 Vancouver Biennale, a public art exhibition, and quickly became a huge hit, despite the inevitable initial dismissals from neighbours when it was installed. It's such a fixture now that it's hard to remember the original look of Morton Park, the little parkette on which the statue stands, historically a nondescript wedge of mowed grass and flower arrangements, a fusty adornment to the beach.

Copp (Ph.D) Department of Sociology and Anthropology Langara College 12 December 2012 Introduction Archaeology field schools have been offered at Langara College since the mid-1970s. Initially comprised of a single, six-credit university-transfer course (Anthropology 1221 and its antecedents) the field school has expanded to four courses and 15 credits when sufficient faculty and course sections are available during Summer terms. The four courses are; Anthropology 1221 (6): Field Methods in Archaeology Anthropology 1222 (3): Laboratory Methods in Archaeology Anthropology 1223 (3): Geospatial Analyses (Mapping) Anthropology 1224 (3): Ethnoarchaeology Most field schools offered since the mid-1990s have involved approximately one-half semester camping in the Similkameen or Pitt River valleys of British Columbia with the remainder of each semester consisting of on campus lectures and laboratory sessions. Other field schools have been commuter-oriented or a mixture of commuting and camping – especially in the case of Pitt River fieldwork. Between 1988 and 1996 the field school operated as a multi-college program in association with Douglas, Capilano, Kwantlen and Malaspina Colleges and coordinated by Langara College. These field seasons focused on excavation of Fort Langley National Historic Park with goals of providing sub-surface indications of the locations of historic buildings and other features as well as proving the existence of pre-contact Aboriginal occupation and use of the area for over 9,000 years. At all other times, the Langara archaeology field school has operated out of the college and focused on surveys and excavations of pre-contact and historical archaeological sites.
