The release also states that when Carson contacted Sturdy, he admitted to taking the sign.

In most cases, I was pleased with the response we received and receptiveness to the issues that we have at hand, said Pemberton Mayor Jordan Sturdy during Tuedsay s (Oct. 2) council meeting. Granted, though, these are 15-minute meetings. It s really difficult to go into any kind of substantial discussion.

In a meeting with transportation minister Mary Polak, Gimse said she and Village of Pemberton representatives brought up a number of issues with conditions on Highway 99 north of Whistler, including the need to improve shoulders for cyclists and the necessity of a northbound passing lane on Suicide Hill instead of the informal arrangement that currently exists.
