I'm seeing many people voicing their opinion on how they are upset with the results of the Assent Vote.

This in itself is fine and totally normal behaviour, but the issue lies within what is being posted.

I'm seeing a lot of false information being shared, and it all seems to be based on false information, confusion and/or lack of understanding on what we were voting on, or simply sharing their own personal opinion on the future phrased as if it were a definitive fact of what will happen next.

So I'm hoping this post will help some people in understanding what the results DO NOT MEAN:

1. That residents will now have to foot a 393 million dollar bill through increase in taxes

2. That the concept of upgrading facilities is now abandoned and that there will be no change

3. That the funds borrowed would have been a general pool of money useable for whatever projects the city felt like.

4. That there is no longer a possibility of borrowing money from the government for facility upgrades

5. That any other solution for facility upgrades are guaranteed to increase the residents cost compared to the proposed plans.

I'm open to responding to comments about these points, but I won't spend time on knee jerk reactions that aren't based in reality or don't have a basic understanding of how economics and urban planning work.

Pulled this off of Facebook. Vote accordingly.

Why this matters to all of Maple Ridge: when this land was subdivided, the City required covenants on title covering the geotechnical design and the stormwater system. The City is the party those covenants were made with. It has leverage no homeowner has.

So, to the newly elected council, many of whom approved this development:

Did the City ever check this neighbourhood was built to the covenants it required?

Will you check now?

Will you put real pressure on Epic Homes to deliver a lasting fix?

Or are 30 families expected to sort it out in court while living with mould?

Just looking for insights to what went wrong at a previous hair appointment that made you not go back? Was it the environment? The conversation? Schedule conflicts? Uncomfortable sinks?
What is something you wish a salon would do / have ?

It is 630 and I think heard 2 gunshots?

Who wants to bet on how long it takes Andrew Laity to be censured by Council or go on a leave of absence and milk 70k a year from us for the next 4 years?

Time to buy a Lotto ticket.
