\n<\/a>A weekly roundup of noteworthy news in municipalities across B.C.<\/em><\/p>\n

The pay parking model sputtered to a stop in Harrison Hot Springs<\/strong> Monday night.\u00a0A divided council voted to not adopt the GoPark proposal<\/a> that would have brought 43 pay park machines to be installed through the highest traffic areas in the Village.<\/p>\n

City of North Vancouver<\/strong> council has shot down a developer’s plan to build 18 units of townhouses<\/a> in central Lonsdale.\u00a0Council unanimously voted down the project proposed for 2340-2360 Western Ave. after hearing a steady stream of neighbourhood angst during a public hearing on the project.<\/p>\n

Penticton<\/strong>\u2019s new bike and trails network is one step closer to becoming policy<\/a> after city council voted to send it to public hearing.\u00a0It wasn\u2019t without some changes to the original plan that received first reading, however. Further consultation resulted in the Ministry of Transportation expressing concern that the plan included a bike lane along Highway 97 from Eckhardt to Skaha Lake Road.<\/p>\n

A new rapid transit studies released by TransLink<\/a> have handed more ammunition to backers of SkyTrain technology through Surrey<\/strong> to Langley<\/strong>.\u00a0A SkyTrain line running above Fraser Highway from Surrey City Centre to Langley, coupled with Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) running south and east \u00a0is the most expensive of four short-listed options at $2.22 billion, but TransLink found it delivers the most transportation benefits and by far the highest ridership.<\/p>\n

No traffic calming measures<\/a> will be implemented in the Old Orchard area after Courtenay<\/strong> staff completed a traffic study.\u00a0“After reviewing the data City staff concluded that traffic calming measures are not warranted at this time,” wrote Courtenay director of operational services Kevin Lagan in a report to council.<\/p>\n
