THE BC LIBRARY

Which came first? Westcoast Transmission Building or a South Vancouver double wide carport

The Carport: 1963 - 1965

Common Features.  Similar time frame.  No supporting 'walls'.

City of Vancouver by-law requires the Inspector measure the 'wall' adjacent to the Lane. There are no walls.  Nothing to measure.

The carport design tripled the parking spaces at the single family home. The garage was existing.

@ 1646 East 56th

And, withstood Typhoon Freda

The double carport three 'joists and posts' are made of steel, welded to a steel plate (20" X 20") which is in turn bolted down, with nuts, to the reinforced concrete pad.  The retaining wall to the north (behind the car) is reinforced concrete, so too, is the retaining wall supporting the original garage.

The carport roof was raised afterwards by cutting the steel posts, to allow a Fifth-Wheel Rig to park there.  Look closely a flat steel plate that has been inserted into the 'I' posts on both sides.

And, withstood Typhoon Freda

 As to that 'inverted mine shaft' on Georgia Street ...

Concrete core, with reinforced steel, just like the carport.

Construction Date:  

     1968/01/01 to 1969/01/01

Description of Historic Place

the general public should be invited to participate in a Metro Vancouver drill evacuation process at Cleveland Dam

 

The week BEFORE the loss of two lives, this video shows the uncharacteristic results of a heavy rainfall on Friday where Metro Vancouver had lowered the gate incrementally, until they were satisfied with their results.

Possibly the lives lost the following week was because Metro Vancouver (staff) defaulted to the previous week's lowest settings.

 

*************************************** 

**************

The Greater Vancouver Water District did a 'dry run' drill every six months to ensure that their new warning system was functioning properly by announcing verbally:

THIS IS A DRILL ...... THIS IS A DRILL

I wonder why there isn't an 'invitation' to the general public to participate in the drill process, such as having to get up and leave a freshly laid picnic adjacent to the river;  fishermen standing at the river's edge with a fish on the line.   Metro Vancouver's game plan is LEAVE AT ONCE.  Don't stop to pick up your belongings.  Just drop your fishing gear, leave and seek out the safety of high ground.

In reality, there are NO further instructions for the public posted anywhere.

Two lives lost..... and all that Metro Vancouver has done to protect their employees, and the public, is lip service ("express approval of or support for (something) without taking any significant action.")

Sort of reminds me (1950s-1960s) of the fire drills at school where the Fire Department showed up at Lord Tennyson and later Kitsilano, but we all knew that it was just a drill, and it only happened once a year.

There has Never been a Drill at Capilano River Regional Park, not even for the staff.  

Fire Department / North Shore Rescue training, YES, but that has always been well planned out before hand.

Text Message alerts

the alerts are available to the general public for the real thing, but in the trying-it-out phase twice a year did it actually work?

Back in 73' Vancouver Planetarium and George Norris' Crab double exposure

I used a ....

Koni Omega camera

120mm Kodacolor 100   

Negative size:     2  1/4"  X  2  3/4"

 

First photograph:

Linhof Tripod  set atop a pile of gravel where the Music Academy is now

 

@ 10 seconds  F 8

 

Reset shutter

 

Second photograph:

Linhof Tripod set between the Planetarium doors and the Crab

 

@ 10 seconds F 8

 

And Thankfully, the fountain was Off, 

And the Parking lot lights On,

And the apartment lighting almost non-existent,

And Thanks to H.R. MacMillan Space Centre,

The Koni Omega was great for weddings because of the film format matched the paper size, no cropping required.
