More NEW Money FOUND for School District 43 … when is the announcement?

…. then SD43 could sell the Anmore property and apply the “new found money” to fund programs within School District 43 that still require more funding.
Is it to late to build [...]

My specific issues… likely different than yours…

My specific issues… likely different than yours…
Property Taxes, Traffic, Vandalism, Pollution
1. Council suggested we may need to hire a by-law officer.
2. They have proposed a budget for the by-law officer.
3. If a by-law officer is hired, I’m assuming taxes will have to cover the cost.
4. There is third party information regarding Policing for Port Moody and Coquitlam RCMP for [...]

Summit Middle high risk to get to school when it snows

How well will this work on a dead end street?
Just to be clear, I’m the first to brag on how good Anmore looks after their roads in the winter. Compared to Port Moody and Coquitlam, Anmore does a super job… Thanks!
On to another point. During the “big snow fall” I can verify [...]

TRAFFIC CALMING IN HILLSIDE NEIGHBOURHOODS - CASE STUDY – PORT MOODY, B.C.

This 2007 study found:
“Traffic issues often arise during school drop-off/pick-up periods. Many local schools do not have adequate on-site parking and drop-off/pick-up areas. The topography of hillside areas is not conducive for large parking lots.  Consequently, vehicles overflow onto streets, causing parking, sight-line and other safety issues. Congestion, illegal parking and pedestrian safety [...]
