— TERRACE — — Minister of High-
: WAYS: ‘Neil Vant was in Terrace
-Fecently on the second day of.a.

‘weeklong tour of the Northwest.

oo The purpose of his visit was to

examine first-hand the priorized
transportation projects as sub-

_ mitted by the North Coast De-
- vélopment Region Task Force on -

Transportation last June. “To
see first hand the many issues
identified, *? said Vant.

The. North Coast submission

was. one of eight from through-

out the province and it is now

". “Mant's job to priorize a single

list from a provincial perspec-
tive. He says this involves ‘‘all
modes of transportation —
road, sea, rail and.air’’.

- From a regional view, Vant
‘named the following projects:
.@ The reconstruction of a sec-
tion of Hwy. 16 west of Terrace
will be upgraded to provide a
“stable surface’ for the winter
and. will be paved next spring. .

e Also on Hwy. 16 west,. the |

_Exstew failway crossing will ‘be.

replaced with an overpass.

Work on. this project will begin
- - cerns””,”

would take place as the ministry:

this month.
e@ As well, the location where a

motorist lost his. life last winter _
due. to an icefall from a’ rock‘

‘outcropping will Teceive some
immediate but temporary reme-

‘dial work.-A drainage ditch will
_ be ‘dug at.the top of the out-
cropping to direct moisture

away from the rock and prevent

-any ice build up.

@ The Nass Road will be de-
clared a highways road this year
and upgrading will take place. as

-funds become available. Work

will begin in- April, 1990; ac-

cording to Vant, and will even-

tually reach Greenville and, with

federal assistance, Kincolith. In.

conjunction with this work, said
Vant, a bridge. linking Canyon
City with the outside world will
be built.

~ Vant’ talked ‘about access: to

“Shames Mountain ‘as well. He
. said that $1.2° million has al-

ready been allocated and the top

four kilometers:are presently be-.

kilometers, Vant promises $1.4

next, year’s budget. “J don’t
anticipate any problem
budgeting,” said Vant..

_ While in Terrace, Vant also

met with Terrace city council.

Among the items discussed, says
mayor Jack Talstra, were a

second. overpass; the B, .C, Fer-

ties schedule, and cost-sharing .
of access to Brauns’ Island. Tal- |
. stra says: that Vant received their "
‘information and ‘seemed to be.

knowledgeable . of the Terrace
concerns.”
- According to: Talstra, Vant

realizes that Hwy. 16 within city.
‘boundaries is currently’ con-
gested and not conducive to the .
safe handling of. industrial traf-. §

fic. “We got the idea that they

are looking at preliminary. Possi-. ;

bilities,”” says ‘Talstra. ©
There is one hitch to “all

Vant’s plans, however. He said

_that he would have toured the
province | and - integrated each
regions concerns into one prior-

. ized list by the end of Novem-

ber: This list will then be pre-
sented to cabinet for approval as
a part of the 1990/91 budgeting
process. He said that work has

~ What remains to ‘be. ‘seen;

though, is if this “blueprint for

action’ —— which would provide

‘a ‘program for upgrading. sys-
