Clean-up duty Sunday, January 26, 2025

by

When we say things like “Copperstone is our home” it’s not just something to say–we mean it! And our home extends beyond the front door of our unit. That’s why Jeff and I have started cleaning up the stairwell and area around the parking garage entrance on Allen Street.

Today, we removed a bag of trash from the bottom of the stairwell and cleaned up a few errant wrappers and a lot of cigarette butts. We’ve put signs in place noting the area is monitored (and will, of course, remove them if asked) and we’re hoping that by keeping the area clean, we’ll discourage people from hanging out there and leaving a mess.

Plus it’s just nice to get out in the fresh air and talk to neighbours as they come and go. If you see us out there, feel free to say hi!

A bag and some bits of litter before we removed them.

Royal Columbian Hospital Redevelopment – East Columbia Street improvements

NOTE: This is the same notice that usually gets posted in the Copperstone buildings or emailed to owners.

Improvements coming to East Columbia Street and Sherbrooke Street 

The City of New Westminster has plans to turn East Columbia Street into a ‘Great Street’ – a more pedestrian- and cycling-friendly street with enhanced sidewalks, better lighting, bike lanes and safer intersections. As part of the Royal Columbian Hospital redevelopment, the project is required to improve the frontages around the campus. In partnership with the City, the project completion will improve accessibility and transportation management around the hospital campus, including along Sherbrooke Street. The works along Sherbrooke Street will include traffic calming measures at the intersections.

The work will be done in phases, between Keary Street and Sherbrooke Street, starting the last week of March. We expect the work to be complete by mid-December 2024.

When needed, flaggers will direct traffic and ensure access to the hospital. At least one lane will remain open at all times. We will provide regular updates on the phases of the work and any impacts to drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. 

Thank you for your patience as we work to enhance our community’s infrastructure.
