Bowsher says the city has been part of the pravince-wide municipal decal program since it “was introduced in 1962, but hasn’t enforced its provisions un- til now. It was in part intended to stop non-commercial vehicles from parking in loading zones. He said he’s acting on the re- quest of local businesses who buy the. decals each year and then . watch .‘‘fly-by-night outfits’’ op- erate in the area without them. Established courier firms pur- _ chase decals regularly, he said. » But other companies hire pri- vate vehicles without buying a business licence or a decal, he sald. _ Also at issue are home-based trades subcontractors who carry tools and occasionally supplics to ‘the job site in their vehicle, he said. Council earlier this year ap- ‘proved a plau to enforce the decal program cfifective March 1. So far. few decals have been * purchased, Bowsher says. oy ' ( mscur AND DRIED.

Under active consideration is installing Jarge culverts able to take the creek’s flow without having water run over the road surface, says district highways manager Linda Zurkirchen. That’ il help prevent the creek ftom now backing up and flowing over the highway be- cause of inadequate culverts now in place, When that happens the hot- springs is also flooded, causing loss of business and damage, Also under consideration is diverting the creck upstreani so it flows away from the hotspr- ings property. Zurkirchen said culvert op- tions are expensive because they involve digging up Hwy16 for their installation. But she did say the highways ministry does have culvert in- stallation in its preliminary capital budget for this year. “The allotments haven’t filtered down -yet but I do know it’s not off the list yet,” said Zurkirchen. At the same time as the high- ways ministry looks at options, in conjunction. with the en- vironment ministry, there’s an assessment going on of the creck’s upper watershed. That assessment stems from feclings that clearcut logging may have contributed to high flows during rainy periods. Another option under consid- eration is eliminating logging in the watershed until newly planted trees get older and their roots more established. The feeling here is that more mature trees will help stabilize the ground and prevent excess water flow. | Doesn't Last Forever Fewetlers SMITHERS SHOPPING CENTRE BOX 20070, SMITHERS, B.C.
