Wednesday, Novernber 28, 2001 Ls budyReimche Peninsula News Review The Town of Sidney is clearing the way — literally — for the new Parks Canada offices. Terry Arnett of Real Property Ser- vices for Canadian Heritage and Envi- ronment Canada put plans before the Committee of the Whole Nov. 19 that will see existing buildings on two sep- arate lots on Harbour Road demol- ished, making room for a new 230 square. metre (2,475.7. square foot) two-storey building and parking lot. The ground floor of .the proposed building will be used as a workshop for boat maintenance and repair, with gen- eral office space on the second floor. The parking space will include enough slots for employee and public parking for the future Gulf Islands Na- tional park Administration Building, as well as for office and boat maintenance uses. Arnett said there will be sufficient landscaping both on the site and around the perimeter to provide sound-proofing and green barriers for neighbouring properties. The properties will be developed in two phases, with the multi purpose, two storey building and parking facil- ity built first. The other site, across the street, will be developed at a later date. Committee members passed its rec- ommendation that the development proceed, and that will go to council at its next meeting. When built, the first phase will bring about 10 jobs; upon completion of the entire project, it’s anticipated there will be about 40 employees.

Since changes in McDonald Park ‘Road, linking it more directly to Galaran, there have been several fender-benders at the intersection, and it was a staff recommendation to install the four-way. stop.
