\n\u2022\tThere was a large spike in break-ins in Sept and Oct. In Sept, there were about 20 \u2013 almost same MO \u2013 cash and jewelry taken and thieves broke in through backyard entrances in the evenings. Thefts down to about 5 for November. No finger or shoe prints were found \u2013 thieves were probably wearing gloves and generic running shoes. Some thieves were caught in Fleetwood \u2013 there was a big drop in break-ins since then. Please phone in when you see something out of place.
\n\u2022\tLaptops and TVs were not taken in earlier break-ins but the ones in November did have electronics taken. Thefts were during the day. Only one of break-ins was interrupted by the owner\u2019s son when he came home. The criminals assaulted him.
\n\u2022\tLast break-ins reported were: 3 on Nov 17, 1 on the 7th and 1 on the 11th. They were in the area west of 156th Street.
\n\u2022\tMailbox thefts \u2013 no spike in activity. Someone had been taken into custody \u2013 may be on court ordered curfew or still in custody. The community mailbox at 173 box was replaced with one that was less easy to break into
\n\u2022\tThere had been a crime\/Block Watch meeting earlier in November. The Crime Prevention coordinator talked about what was going on in FH and let the community know that Block Watch was still around. It was suggested to get together with neighbours so you know who they are. Handouts were available on how to better secure your home. <\/p>\n
Traffic Issues
\n\u2022\t170A and104 Ave \u2013 this has been a very dangerous intersection. The City will be putting in flashing overhead and side lights to allow pedestrians to cross 104th Ave. The lights should be installed before the end of the year.
\n\u2022\t104A Diversion – traffic is flowing through this diversion and the hope is that this will be removed before Christmas (weather dependent).
\n\u2022\tBarnston overpass \u2013 was due to be opened mid-November (delays have been due to weather). Now hoping to have it open mid-January
\n\u2022\tNew 176 overpass will be open late January
\n\u2022\tLindsay attended a meeting re Daly road. It goes diagonally eastward as it heads down the hill in the north direction. The route will eventually run parallel to the railway tracks and meet with Golden Ears connector. There is a large volume of traffic using this road, especially at opening and closing times for school. There will be more signs put up to redirect truck and non-local traffic away from there. This poor planning has caused significant congestion in our community.
\n\u2022\tDaly road is very narrow but so far, there have not been any accidents. However, there have been flat tires from pot holes and telephone poles have been hit. From 177A St, some cars come down at high rate of speed. Widening of Daly road has not happened as they may not have acquired the properties needed to do so.
\n\u2022\tResidents along 156 Street got notice that dump trucks will be removing dirt so approx 600 or 700 dump trucks may be going through Fraser Heights to remove\/deposit dirt. There are about 6000 cu meters of dirt to remove. From the Kinder Morgan site, dirt will also be removed. The City of Surrey has given temporary permission for these trucks to transport the dirt where it needs to go.
\n\u2022\t4 way stop at 156 and 108. Daily, there are cars that don\u2019t stop here or go out of sequence \u2013 they just barrel through. RCMP traffic division will try to monitor this intersection.
\n\u2022\tThe turning lane on 104th Ave heading east to turn onto 156 Street heading north is not long enough so it was stated that people are driving in the oncoming lane to get into the turning lane.<\/p>\n
Parks and Recreation
\n\u2022\tNo new information on when construction on the Recreation Centre would be completed but it should be within a year. <\/p>\n
Member\u2019s concerns or items of interest
\n\u2022\tTrain horns \u2013 CN will work with the City and FHCA to take care of this problem
\n\u2022\tSue Mercer \u2013 represented Citizens for Safe Communities re the Hydro Smart Meters. There has been no review by the BC Utilities commission. 26 communities are requesting moratoriums.
\n\u2022\tMichelle Collanbrander \u2013 represented the Fraser Heights Cornerstone Toastmasters for Adults and the Wordsworth Gavel club for youth. Both clubs are held at Surrey Christian Alliance church (15421 \u2013 110 Ave) on Friday evenings at 7:30.
