Transit, Christmas & Bylaw Wording For Enderby Council

Oct 17, 2017 | 10:48 AM

Enderby Council supports a call by Armstrong for a review of transit services in the North Okanagan.

Armstrong is concerned whether it’s getting value for dollar in its share of the cost of service.

Enderby Mayor Greg McCune says a review could show if communities are paying their proper share.

“You know there’s a very good chance that it could come back that Enderby needs to pay more. If that’s then fact, then we need to do a better job
of working with them to provide those riders to make sure there is that value.”

McCune says for the most part he thinks the community is happy with the service they get now.

Meanwhile, council cleaned up some wording in it’s Municipal Ticket Information System Bylaw to ensure clarity when levying fines for any infractions.

Discussions Monday evening also looked ahead to the annual Christmas lightup.

Mayor McCune is hoping more organizations and businesses will get involved.

“Last year was a little bit early after revitalization. I think now that it’s more established and people know what it’s going to look like, they can maybe invest a few dollars and get some lights up on their buildings.”

City Hall and light standards in the business district will be well lit up.

Another planning meeting is set for next week

The Mayor is hoping the new NDP government will get around to paying attention to the city’s traffic issues.

It was brought up at the UBCM but there was no interest on the part of the government for a bypass.

Greg McCune says the Transportation Ministry is realizing it’s no longer a summer issue, It’s all year round.

“It’s wall-to-wall traffic. If you don’t go to one of our two lights you don’t get on the highway. That’s an issue for any community”

During the time the mayor was speaking with Kiss-FM news he was watching the highway at an uncontrolled intersection and it was well past six minutes before there was enough of a break in traffic for a vehicle to make it across.

He says the city will work with the government too come up with some kind of solution.
