The issue is concerning a lot in the center of the village of Emerald. The road adjacent was raised and this directs all the run-off from the Confederation Trail onto this land. Perhaps ditching can be put in place to prevent this.
Action on High-Speed Internet – FINALLY!
In their April budget the government announced a new, government-owned, high-speed internet backbone. It would take years to build and be very expensive. In the mean time many, many Islanders still wouldn’t have high speed internet. I asked why the government is not taking action right now. I suggested loans to internet service providers – […]

Solar panels a feasible solution for North Star Arena cost reduction?
What is the cost-benefit analysis for solar panels on the North Star Arena to reduce costs? Is there an opportunity for a funding partnership with provincial and federal governments? (e.g. 1/3 – 1/3 – 1/3)
Stanley Bridge roundabout – a four-way stop was all that was needed
The 3-way stop at the Stanley Bridge intersection (St. Mary’s Road and Rattenbury Road) was confusing for tourists. To solve the problem the Department of Transportation designed and issued a tender for a roundabout – without consulting any local residents or businesses (they found out by reading the tender notice in the newspaper).

Improve Brookvale Ski Park and eliminate $380,000 per year cost to taxpayers
“Why can’t Brookvale Ski Park operate with a profit? It is forecasted to lose $380,900 in the 2015-2016 budget.
