Craig Murdoch suggests that “some change does have to take place,” but he doesn’t want to pre-judge the outcome of next week’s meeting.
Murdoch adds that the city would “prefer not to rope off natural areas,” but people need to be “responsible for their actions” and “use our green spaces responsibly.”
He acknowledges there has been talk of building a lower viewing platform at Albion Falls, while stressing that those are “very early discussions.”
An unidentified man in his twenties fell to his death at about 5:00 p.m. Saturday at Albion Falls.
