Biennale: You decide Residents asked to vote on what to buy BY ALAN CAMPBELL
acampbell@richmond-news.com
The Richmond public will, after all, get its chance to win or bin one of the Biennale temporary public artworks. City council voted Monday night 5-3 in favour of surveying Richmondites on what piece of public art, or not, they want to retain when the exhibition winds up next spring. Councillors Bill McNulty and Harold Steves were joined by Mayor Malcolm Brodie in opposing the staff recommendation to go ahead with the survey and sourcing subsequent “funding options” to buy one of the artworks. The public will, however, also have the “none of the above” option, if they’d rather the city not retain any of the Biennale installations. The Lenin/Miss Mao piece is valued at $700,000, Wind Waves at Garry Point has a $400,000 price tag and Water #10 on the middle arm dyke at Cambie Road could cost around $600,000. City staff’s proposal to survey the public was defeated at committee level two weeks ago in a tied vote, before going before full council this week.

Police are trying to piece together the tragic last moments of an elderly woman’s life, after she was apparently struck by a recycling truck.

the woman was struck while in a parking bay at the Winfield Estates complex just east of No. 1 Road. On Tuesday, the RCMP was still poring over the details of the fatal accident, with no indication, as yet, whether charges will be laid or not. The truck belonged to Sierra Waste Services Ltd. and was being operated by three employees at the time of the accident. 07283111
