Re: Ailing Beacon Wharf gets Band-Aid repairs (News, March 2)
I can’t understand the council of Sidney’s decision to provide a Band-Aid solution as stated in the Peninsula News Review, to the pilings of Beacon Wharf when there is a business in Central Saanich, which is capable of restoring the pilings of the wharf to their original state through a special coating, which is also friendly to the environment.
Furthermore, council seems to be intent on replacing over time all the pilings upholding the wharf.
How much easier it appears to be for council to solicit business from a municipality next door, which I’m sure would cost tax payers much less than council’s alternative measure.
