A Member Motion at Council seeks to spend money on an urgent basis to redesign what was just done at Humber Bay East.
Residents are unhappy that the once sandy beach is gone in favour of rough, large stones, and access to the water is now fairly limited as compared to before.
Apparently they were under the impression from staff that this was not the design intent.
So now, the Councillor would like to spend $155,000 to urgently redesign the new work, and how much more to re-do it entirely? Ummmm, a lot.
If staff mislead the public, someone should honestly lose their job, I'm not one for saying that, and less so publicly, but that would be bad. If, however, this design was presented to the public and the councillor and did not get
any objections, we ought not be spending money re-do what we just did, there are surely countless better and wiser ways to spend precious dollars.
