I think driving my car is the healthiest way of transportation, that way we don't have to breath the lovely P.G. air.

Ice skating under active transportation? It looks like the others listed can all go some distance from origin to destination. In this city without canals or long ice surfaces the origin and destination would mean from one side of the rink to another, or one side of the ice oval to another.

Maybe someone is proposing to flood the trail systems for winter.

Canping and Kayaking? Where? We gonna provide some canalization along the rivers to make sure we don't have to pick people up in Quesnel too often?

Seems like a waste of time and money to me. We have far more important planning exercises for people to spend time on to help this City move on to improved lifestyles and improved environmental quality. How about getting the river trail back up and operating properly? Where is that project at?

I would suggest we need a horse coral downtown at the old A&W and maybe another one up at Walmart and maybe the university as well... and then a trial system that connects the various ares in town that are like freeways for horses, bikes, and foot traffic. With the cost of gas, cars, insurance, and the great depression talk... it might be a good time to think about that....

It would promote a healthy active life style as well as tourism and open up huge tourism potential with rentals for the urban explorer. Then you could ride to the local watering hole and ride your horse home at the end of the night and it would be just like the old times minus the 6-shooter....

;)

It would be lovely to be able to bike with your family somewhere. I dont mean extreme biking on trails. I live on north nechako road and only half of it up to foothills is safe enough. The other half has barely a side of road let alone a place to safely ride. FIX THE ROADS FIRST. This stuff falls under the NICE TO HAVE STUFF. We need to concentrate on WHAT WE NEED. Another 54 people are being laid off from Canfor at one of their mills, and who knows when the next lay offs will come. PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS left, right and center and our city keeps focused on SPENDING. Makes me sick.

SPENDING means jobs!!!!

Someone will get paid to do something.

If we cannot sell something, why get paid for producing stuff we cannot sell?

So, produce stuff we can use, but never have the opportunity to do at other times because we are busy with other stuff.

Just keep the money flowing, even if it is through different means for different purposes.

And YES, fix the roads!!!. Close the streets one section at a time, reroute the traffic, cover them, heat them to melt the ice and snow, and pave them!!! NOW!!!!!

Bike racks .... we need bike racks. waht is a city built for bikes without bike racks?

Is that part of an active tranportation plan? Where's mu $1,000. For $3,000 I will make suggestions where to put them.

would like to canoe downtown from the Hart and riding a horse to the local watering hole sounds realy neat but remember they used to hang horse theives

Are you suggesting they should hang car thieves?

With all the hot air around - how about hot air balloons?

Walking/running yea right. Lets see, the existing sidewalks are built on a slant, painful to walk/run on. Notice the amount of people on the road instead of the sidewalk. Also try to navigate a wheelchair on our sidewalks.

The existing pathways we have are not maintained or cleared. Take a look at the 800,000 dollar tunnel into Carrie Jane Grey park, the related paths are not cleared of snow.

So why wast money on more pathways when the existing are not maintained.

How about scuba diving and snorkeling? Can't forget them. I would snorkle from Beaverley to PG everyday given the chance.

Can we have hitching posts AND six-shooters?

If they aren't gonna plow some streets, can we at least have some Zambonis running up and down them from time to time and maybe a few red and blue lines thrown on for good measure?

There are a lot of streets that still do not have sidewalks let a lone a side of road to walk on yet our council is going to pave a trail. I just shake my head and take two prozak and move on. There is no use dwelling on these decisions because WE HAVE NO SAY! End of story!

Eagle, if yer gonna ride yer hoss in the 'hood, ya better hang onta yer hog leg, ya might need it to persuade some lowlife to back off!
metalman.

Metalman, we'll round em up like the cavalry... a pissed off horse will set them straight... if gamblor and others are leaving the salon wearing their 6-shooters, then the bad guys will soon find a new hang out...
