1800 QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
Eric Phillips
Mr. Phillips expressed that many persons he has spoken with are not
interested in a dog park in Tolmie Park. He asked why a dog park in

approved at the Parks and Leisure Services Commission meeting and that
the decision will be reviewed in a few months.
Eric (no last name provided)
Eric asked what will happen with Translink given that Mayor Read is
against the transportation referendum.
The Mayor explained that her vote will not affect Translink services and
advised that Translink will send a delegation to Council to receive
feedback.
Eric inquired how Maple Ridge will help with services if there is an increase
of 35,000 persons living in the community.
