Please be advised that Council recently finalized their capital and operational budgets for 2018. While COlmcil focllsed on maintaining service levels and minimizing the 2018 tax increase, costs associated with doing so have risen and consequently new initiatives and capital projects were reviewed very carefully. While Council understands your request, they are awaiting information from BC Transit with respect to expanded service during the evening hours and to the Industrial Park. It is expected that this information will be received sometime in the spring; it is at this time that Council may request further information regarding costs and ridership associated with reinstatement of transit service in the Foothills Road area. Unfortunately, your request for funding for transit improvements was not approved at this time. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 803-4032 or email at [email protected].

This street - 10th Street South West - is a popular thoroughfare for many residents of Salmon Arm and Silver Creek, and has gotten increasingly busy with traffic. As a 6 year resident on 10th Street SW, I have observed many new houses being built here, particularly in the past year, and many more are in progress. Alot of these homes fall in the 55+ category, so the population of our area is increasing in numbers, as well as demographically: some of these residents may lose their ability to drive, and many may prefer to use public transit, which is not now accessible. The malls and downtown core would benefit from having these locals being able to use their services and purchase their goods. Many currently walk to Piccadilly Mall, but, as there are inadequatelincomplete sidewalks, they must weave back and forth from sidewalk to sidewalk to shoulder of the road, and soon there will be issues of cold and snow to reduce their mobility and safety as well. I feel that the availability of public transportation on our street would increase safety, be better for the environment, and add to the pleasure of being a (senior) resident in this neighbourhood. Sincerely, Irene A Fink City of' Salmon Arm 5 00 - 2 Avenue NE Mailing Address: Box 40 Salmon Arm, Be VI E 4N2 Tel: 250.803 .4000 Fax: 250.803.404 1 www.salmonann.ca November 22, 2017 Irene Fink 163010 Street SW Salmon fum, BC V1 E 1V3 Dear Ms. Fink; Re: Request for Funding - 2018 Transit Expansion - Foothills Road Thank you for your letter dated November 20,2017 regarding transit improvements.
