changes on Bowen

Island ferry route

WEST VANCOUVER-
Garibaldi MLA David Mit-
cheli has called for changes
in the operation of the B.C.
Ferry Corp’s. (BCFC)
Bowen Island route.

‘*After receiving representation
from numerous residents of
_ Bowen Island, and following con-
suitation with officials of B.C.
Ferries, it is clear to me that there
is both room for improvement
and a need to try some new
ideas,’’ said Mitchell.

Mitchell has made his recem-
mendations to BCFC president
and chief executive officer Frank
Rhodes.

He called for:

@ the appointment of an in-
dependent auditor to conduct a
safety audit on the Bowen Island
ferry run, the findings of which
should be made public;

@ an open house held by the
BCFC on Bowen island which
would allow residents to voice
their concerns directly to senior
BCFC managers;

@ regular communications with
Bowen Island residents to be
managed by BCFC managers, not
head office public relations staff;

© bicycles to be allowed on

BOWEN ISLAND
Bowen Island ferries for no charge
in order to iake some of the
pressure off the increasing
fQumbers of motor vehicles carried
on the ferry and to encourage en-
vironmentally-friendly transporta-
tion alternatives;
® a review of fares on the Bowen
Island ferry.

Mitchell said the ferry has one
of the highest fares for a minor
route and that consideration
should be given to reducing fares
for foot passengers.

“A renewed emphasis on open
communication and public ac-
countability should be the top
priority for the corporation,” said
Mitchell. ‘“‘A special emphasis
must be placed on improving the
important relationship with Bowen
Island residents.”

He also encouraged the Bowen
Island Transportation Committee
to play a more active role in help-
ing to manage the relationship
with the BCFC and to improve
communications among Bowen
Island residents.

“The role of the transportation
committee should be expanded so
that it can serve as an advisory
body and focal point for key
transportation issues that will
shape the future of Bowen
{sland,”’ said Mitchell.
