Council priorities Sept.22,2010

The Westerly News reports that Tofino Council has identified four projects to be completed in the next year :
The Tofino Housing Corporations affordable housing initiative
Downtown Revitalization
Lighthouse Trail
Multiple Use Path to Fourth St.

No mention of the sewer system......
No mention of affordable water rates......
No mention of a new Official Community Plan.....
No mention of the bike park.....
No mention of what to do with the First St. Dock......

The District of Tofino has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the affordable housing project without as much as one nail or one 2 x 4 being purchased...study after study,consultant after consultant.....
A quick check of the internet showed a variety of condos available between $200,000 and $279,000 and those are asking prices.....Westcoaster.ca had over twenty rental situations available from single rooms to entire houses....many year round....enough tax dollars spent on this already !
Nice to see the MUP get finished though....
