Colorado Civil Unions Move Forward
By Sunnivie Brydum
PAT STEADMAN X390 (FAIR) | ADVOCATE.COM
The Colorado state senate appropriations committee Friday approved a civil
unions bill by a party-line vote of 6-4.
SB-172, sponsored by gay Democratic senator Pat Steadman of Denver, now
moves to the full senate, where it is expected to pass. All 20 Democratic

Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper had said the special session was needed to
address a "fundamental question of fairness and civil rights."
The bill's demise was expected by Democrats, who have begun using the issue

据瞭解,运联已经向烈市政府地政部门申请,靠近二埠女皇区(Queensborough)的咸美顿社区,建造一座佔地7.4公顷的巴士总站和维修厂。这个庞大设施可以停泊350辆巴士,僱员人数高达600人。
不过,上述地点部分土地目前的用途规划,只许兴建单户独立房屋,而运联则要求,把整块地段改为轻工业用途。
烈市官员表示,在咸美顿建造新的巴士总站和维修厂,对当地社区带来许多好处,包括高薪职位、新的公园、步行径和託儿中心。当地居民则担心社区车流增加和噪音问题。
一个女居民沃克(Wendy Walker)指出,现在社区已经设有一家大型赌场和沃尔玛(Walmart)商场,并且还有计划再建一家赌场和度假中心,市府方面一直未有重视本地居民的关注。
烈市议员兼市议会规划委员会主席麦乐田(Bill McNulty)表明,当局在进一步考虑运联的有关申请之前,将会展开公众谘询,但是更多的发展,确实对当地社区有利。 |

本报记者李群报道
连接温哥华和烈治文的加拿大线(Canada Line)单车行人专用桥,周五下午正式启用
。不少公眾在率先使用该桥之后,讚不绝口;但也有市民担心桥樑是行人、单车混合双

会划分行人及单车线路。
运输联网(TransLink)预计,每日会有5,000人次使用该桥。
周五中午,联邦国会议员杜新志(Ujjal Dosanjh)、卑诗省议员何乐华(Rob Howard
)、温哥华署理市长麦杰士(Geoff Meggs)及运联行政总裁普伦德加斯特(Thomas
Prendergast)自温哥华一侧上桥;而国会议员黄陈小萍、烈治文署理市长庄士顿(Ken
Johnston)及烈治文市议员麦乐田(Bill McNulty)自烈治文一侧上桥,双方在全长
一公里的桥樑中央匯合,然后在烈市入桥口处举行剪彩仪式。
单车行人专用桥是在加拿大线设计时,由运联董事会提出的附加计划,造价1,000万元

三位烈治文优先(Richmond First Voters Society)的市议员邓伟雄、庄士顿(Ken

【明報專訊】運輸聯線(TransLink)醞釀在10年內提高車費40%,多名列治文市議員昨日

可獲得解決。
列治文市議員鄧偉雄表示,運聯在提高車費前,必須先設法消除少數市民坐「霸王車」
的情況,否則對守規矩付錢坐車的市民非常不公平。他呼籲運聯在加拿大線這類有眾多
乘客的運輸系統上,安裝電子閘門以杜絕不願買票乘客。
運聯目前正向卑詩區域運輸委員會申請,於明年4月1日提高月票及Fare Saver乘車券10

根據PricewaterhouseCoopers一份最新的調查報告顯示,每年大溫有410萬人次的「霸
