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

In the never-ending battle between bikes and cars, score one for the two-wheelers<\/a>.\u00a0The former Jim Pattison car dealership on Kingsway just east of Royal Oak is now Burnaby<\/strong>‘s biggest bike shop. With 7,000 square feet spread over two floors, Cap’s Westwood Cycles is Glen Hobbis’ fourth location.<\/p>\n

Abbotsford<\/strong> will have to defend its harm reduction bylaw to the B.C. Human Rights tribunal<\/a>.\u00a0The complaint was filed in May at the same time\u00a0a civil suit was filed against the city, both aiming to repeal the city’s legislation restricting harm reduction measures.<\/p>\n

Metro Vancouver<\/strong> has reluctantly agreed to let new mechanized garbage-sorting plants<\/a> open and extract more recyclables from the waste stream that are now landfilled or incinerated.<\/p>\n

Victoria<\/strong>‘s\u00a0Bay Centre \u00a0unveiled four new electric vehicle charging stations<\/a> in the shopping mall’s lower parkade.\u00a0The charging stations were created with help from the BC’s Community Charging Infrastructure Fund. The fund is expected to help in the funding and creation of 570 charging stations across the province.<\/p>\n

Kilby Historic Site<\/strong> is a local, historic treasure. And to keep the site healthy into the future, the operators are beginning the process of preparing a site business plan and feasibility study<\/a> with the Quincy Group Company.\u00a0Funding for this program is coming from the BC Heritage Branch, who are also contributing to other provincial heritage sites around B.C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
