Sooke Bike Park under threat

October 20th, 2012

Hello All,
This was sent to me a couple of days ago and I meant to post this sooner. Sadly what appeared to be a slam dunk for the kids out in Sooke may not in fact be a done deal? The Sooke Bike Park appeared to be approved and ready to move to the next phase…but maybe not just yet? Read the letter sent out by the Sooke Bike Club and show your support for this awesome venture!
Thanks,
Greg VIMB.com

Greetings,

at the October 9 regular council meeting, mayor and council voted to accept the ‘licence to occupy’ agreement, as written and endorsed by District staff, between the Sooke Bike Club and the DOS, which would allow the Club to move forward with our chosen contractor, Alpine Bike Parks, in building a bike park for our community and in particular, the youth in our community.  Today’s newspaper ran a story regarding the outcome of this meeting;

Mayor Wendal Milne has since rescinded his support for this document, citing the concerns of a handful of residents, mostly those who do not want to see this youth oriented development move forward. » Read more: Sooke Bike Park under threat
