Green space should be scream-free
Re: “Zipline in QE Park? No thanks!”, Vancouver Shakedown, May 14, 2015
Thank you Grant Lawrence for highlighting the proposed zipline in Queen Elizabeth Park.
Yet another attempt by our money-grabbing Parks Board to take more out of the pockets of the local population.
I, too, found it suspicious that there has been hardly any information or comment on this “temporary” project; indeed the one report I have seen had a map that I couldn’t even figure out which end was high and which one was low!
Parks Board, notice all those black clouds in the sky? That’s [parks activist] Eleanor Hadley letting you know that you are way off base.
Let’s keep the screams out of our green space, people!

Mayors need to butt out of transit talk
How can it make sense to anyone that the Metro mayors are spending our money to convince us to vote for an increase in our taxes and threaten us with dire consequences if we don’t do as they say?
If the mayors, councils and city hall are taking wage reductions to pay for the entire cost of the campaign to have us vote the way they want, it might be acceptable, but the information offered is biased and the No side should be funded equally in order for people to get balanced information and make informed decisions.
We need independent transportation and logistical specialists to advise on the best, most cost efficient transportation upgrades with the funds we already have, not mayors.
