Lands End tunnel gone despite protests from Curfeis Point residents

A tunnel from Tryon Road to Lands End Road under the Pat Bay
Highway is no longer being built. Instead, traffic from Tryon Road
and Curteis Point will move north to a new “‘Kittiwake Connector”
and use a bridge to move west on Lands End or south on the
highway — once construction of the Lands End interchange is
completed.

Despite pleas to council col-
leagues, Ald. Dee Bailin was
unsuccessful in getting council
support for consideration of an
eleventh-hour alternative plan by.
Curteis Point residents for a con-
necting road at the Lands End-Pat
Bay Highway interchange.

, We have certainly dealt with
Pihis issue repeatedly but the
mpacts will be felt for 50 years,”
ailin said. “We cannot allow a
ision of this magnitude to be
en at this moment.”

he confronted council mem-
bers, asking who has walked the
site and urging the mayor to take
the time to “make a much more

valid decision.”

Council March 16 was consider-
ing two alternatives to replace an
approved design to construct a
tunnel under the highway to carry
traffic from the east side of the
highway (Iryon Road and Curteis
Point) to Lands End and the inter-
change.

Alternative B was supported by
council, despite Bailin’s objedc-
tions. It was produced by the
ministry and calls for construction
of the Kittiwake Connector, link-
ing a new bridge to Curteis Road.

Mayor Maurice Chazottes said
he cannot discount the statments
made by project engineer Joe

Camilleri in his report. The report
said altematuve B will not result
in more noise, it removes the same
amount of trees as the proposed
tunnel but results in less visual
impact and would eliminate the
need for an underpass.

Camiler discounted the Curteis
Poiunt plan because it will impact
on B.C. Ferries’ terminal expan-
sion and a private home, may
result in CRP truck traffic using
the bridge, would require improve-
ments on Swartz Bay Road and wil
require an unacceptable grade.

“This altemative impacts’ sev-
erely on Curteis Point and is
deficient on several aspects of
safety and operation,” Camilleri
said.

Curteis Point Community Asso-
ciation members Ruth Jacox,
George Grover and Gordon Hill
rejected the Alterantive B (later
