Last Wednesday my recycling didn’t get picked up. Wednesday is usually recycling day, but this time the truck didn’t show up. This happens fairly often.
It’s a byproduct of living on the border between two Capital Regional District (CRD) municipalities: Oak Bay and Victoria. The line that divides the two municipalities runs right through the middle of my top-floor apartment, roughly dividing the guest bedroom from the rest of the suite.
This means that responsibility for simple tasks like waste collection, as well as bigger issues like property taxes and bylaws, is shared and often convoluted. Victoria handles the recycling pickup, which means that sometimes mine gets picked up and sometimes it doesn’t.
Map of proposed bikeway on Richardson Street in Victoria.
A cyclist rides on Richardson Street. The bikeway planned for the street has generated vocal opposition, with a flurry of letters to the editor, a petition and an organized social-media presence called Rethink Richardson lobbying city council to revise the design. ADRIAN LAM, TIMES COLONIST Victoria council has opted to continue with an approved plan for a bikeway project on Richardson Street in a 6-3 vote that rejected a motion to delay for further consultation. Under the plan, the physical road will remain mostly the same, with added on-street parking in some areas that will narrow the road, and five traffic diversions that will prevent through-traffic for motor vehicles. Cyclists, who are normally required to ride as close to the right as possible, will share the road with motorists, who can pass a cyclist by pulling around on the cyclist’s left, as they would on any local street.
