Coal
brings
changes

PRINCE RUPERT (CP) —
The communities between
the coalfields in northeastern
B.C. and the new Ridley
Island terminal here are, ex-
periexicing a growing feeling
of isolation from the planning
of the mega-project, says a
study by Schorn Consulting
Ltd. of Vancouver.

“There also seems to be a
sense of frustration by those
most diréctly affected be-
cause of limited involvement
at the planning and develop-
ment stages,” says the study.

The impact study, com-
missioned by the Depart-
ment of Regional Economic
Expansion and six northern
regional districts, points toa
number of serious problems
that can be expected as coal
development brings changes

. to the northern way of life.

Transportation is one ma-
_ jor concern — as rail traffic to
the coast increases — whlie
road access to the new com-
munity of Tumbler Ridge
continues to be a source of
“concern and conflict," the
study says.

THE KOOTENAYS

“Through the Nelson
Main Street Program”

Nelson 8.C., nestled amongst the
rugged : Selkirk on. the

shore of Kootenay Lake, is a city rich
in historic structures. Most of its
downtown buildings date back to its
‘earliest beginnings: when it was a
mining and transportation centre. It is
now the home of a very unique and
‘exciting experiment.

Heritage’ Canada in partnership
with the city are undertaking a
dynamic revitilization project of
Nelson's downtown core. Called the

‘Main Street Programme, the project

will take place over a three year
period and is being monitored in or-
der to serve as a model for other
communities across’ the country.
Many: small towns are in trouble.
Highways, urban renewal, suburban
sprawl, commercial strips and shop-
ping malls have caused many main
streets, the cofmmercial heart of the
towns, to be abandoned or defaced
beyond recognition. Main Street, as
an architectural resource and thus, as
a ‘tourist attraction, are under-
developed.

The Main Street Programme office
is located at 280 Baker Street and its
staff of four includes Hans Honegger,
Bob Inwood, Donna Brown and Kathy
Ireland. The office is organized to of:
fer free service to the, d

trees planted and park like
setting areas built.

The Main’ Street Programme,
however, is not just concerned. with
how the street looks. It addresses a
number of issues. The project office
acts as an advocate and works with
the business community in the
Programme's areas of concern such
as improving window displays,
