Translink stations ignores basic human needs, so I use Vancouver City Hall's squeaky clean WC, c/w heated floor

Broadway and Cambie is so very busy, and even though I'm on the way to Vancouver General Hospital for a study on asbestosis, I always use the City Hall's public washroom.  One can't be too careful at VGH, let alone the nearby bustling stores.  Besides, I feel guilty not purchasing anything on Broadway.

I'm just waiting for Mayor Sim to greet me with  "Do you have any business here Sir?

My prepared Reply:   "None of your business!"

Capilano Mall's 'find the stores within Map', 1/2 should be upside down ..

 ... because not all of these signs should be top up.

=============

This map is right if entering from the south (Walmart)

                                                                  _______________

------------

 this one is right (if the map is upside down) and

if entering from Marine Drive, looking to the South

 

I understand why malls, typically, have back to back signage, and the use of cardinal direction of NORTH at the top, but, invariably the stores, and their signs aren't facing North at all.

Those same mall maps includes the FIRE EXIT signs in accordance with municipal/provincial laws, but, has the City's Fire Department verified that the signs on the mall's map is correctly placed?

 

Capilano Mall, sign samples, of the cardinal sin

The way it is now, who knows where the Fire Exits are?

Budgeted $125 for 2004 Backyard Rockery Project with a 'slightly' used 'DB Type HAND Winch W/Cable'!

and it came with a best before date

 These jumble of rocks were free (oops Delivery Fee!)

A truck tie down strap worked perfectly on the odd shaped rocks and connected to the winch cable

 

And a way off in the distance was that old hand powered winch sitting on top of a heavy duty 'box' made of 2' X 8" lumber for the framing, added 30" X 30" plywood for the top and bottom, to prevent wracking.  

The interior of the box, was loaded with individual ROCKS so that their combined weight could pull the larger rock.

And with all the (ducks) boulders in a row it was simple to remove the rocks in the box and move to another angle to pull in another line of boulders.

All done by hand.   No electric winches needed.

Of course now, you'll use MY WAY, your way, but with that electric winch.

District of North Vancouver's Deep Cove area, without a dedicated sewerage piping map?

The District of North Vancouver has the best, most detailed data, in Metro Vancouver, the Province.  Way superior to the City of Vancouver's ...... just  DON'T OPEN (VANCOUVER'S)  fire hydrant file, nor their pedestrian activated crosswalk lights.  You won't be able to see where you're walking in Google Earth, nor see where your dog went to.

DNV GIS files: https://geoweb.dnv.org/data/

Its all about maintenance of Districts assets.

As to the current topic:  Flood prevention assets:

Sanitary Mains Abandon

Sanitary Sewer Fittings

Sanitary Sewer Lift Catchment Areas

Sanitary Sewer Mains

Sanitary Sewer Service Connections

Sanitary Sewer Facilities

Point features depicting the location of District owned stairs. The number of stairs is included as part of this data set where it is known. These point features merely indicate the location of a staircase.

Prison Report  1879

Owing to the fact that the Act requiring this report to be made by me being in force only since April of this year, I am unable in this, my first report, to give full statistics of the different gaols and lock-ups other than those at Victoria, New Westminister and Nanaimo.  I can only state with respect to the other gaols and lock-ups that they are generally in a good state of repair, and, with one or two exceptions, serve every purpose for which they were intended.

That at Esquimalt contains two cells, but is without a yard fence. Hence prisoners cannot get open-air exercise unless the constable is present.  Victoria gaol being near at hand renders it unnecessary to keep prisoners long at Esquimalt lock-up.

Cowichan lock-up contains two cells, a court-room and lavatory, and is in good repair.  It is situated at too great a distance from any habitation, to be safe either from rescue or from bush fires, unless there is a guard all the time. Built in 1877.

Comox lock-up contains two cells, a court-room and lavatory, and is in good repair.  It is situated at too great a distance from any habitation, to be safe either from rescue or from bush fires, unless there is a guard all the time.  Built in 1877.

Burrard Inlet lock-up is a rough log hut, inadequate for the requirements of the place.  

Lytton gaol or lock-up contains four cells, and is in good repair.

Clinton gaol or lock-up is also in good repair and contains four cells. Built in 1876.

Kamloops gaol or lock-up contains two cells, is in good repair, and built on the same model as those of Cowichan and Comox.

Osoyoos lock-up is old but serves all purposes, it being seldom required.

Mouth of Quesnelle lock-up contains six cells, and is in very good condition.

Stanley lock-up is in good repair.

Richfield gaol, as far as I know, answers all purposes for which it is required.

In Cassiar, there are two lock-ups, one at Laketon and one at McDame's Creek, both in good repair.

The gaol or lock-up at Metlakathla Mission is hexagonal in form, two-story high.  It contains four cells and a guard room on the ground floor, and one large, well-lighted room above, used as a day room and reading room for prisoners and constables.  The building is in good repair and handsomely painted, forming a distinctive feature of the town.

There is a new lock-up required at Burrard Inlet, and the fence around Kamloops gaol altering and raising several feet higher.

The wood-work at Victoria and New Westminster gaols is badly decayed, and will require constant repairs until the buildings are completely renewed.

The question of disposing of the gaol property at Victoria, and building a new gaol outside of the city, is even now worthy of the consideration of the Government.

I have the honour to remain, 

Sir,
Your most obedient servant

C. Todd,

Superintendent of Police.

Vancouverites, south of Burrard Inlet, has ten times the Sewage problems, than North Vancouverites

According to this Metro-Vancouver-map, in-real-time, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the existing North Shore Sewage and Treatment plants.  No leakages whatsoever.

However, everything south of Burrard Inlet looks ..... bad, so bad, that within the last 48 hours, there has been overflows in ten different locations.

New Westminster, hmmmm ;  Burnaby, Hmmmm or is that the refinery

CBC has a story  (Jun 15, 2024 5:00 AM PDT)  on the problems with the North Shore, but not a peep of what's happening on the South shore of Burrard Inlet and down to the North Arm of the Fraser River. Marpole.

Maybe Vancouver's Mayor Sim has an answer for these eight problem areas, just to reassure his citizens.
