Mayor Ken Berry voted against the closures, describing them as an ‘outlier’ in Metro Vancouver
Hikers hoping to hoof it up to Tunnel Bluffs or the west Lion in the fall sunshine will have to wait to access popular trailheads in Lions Bay.
The decision was a reprise of a council vote last week to keep trailheads closed despite comments from the village fire chief that there is currently no exceptional fire risk in the forest around Lions Bay and no particular risk posed by hikers. Lions Bay Mayor Ken Berry was one of two members of council who had supported re-opening the trails this week.“When you look at the other Metro Vancouver communities, no one else has closed their trailheads,” he said, adding the position of Lions Bay is “definitely an outlier.”
“I think we've had .1 millimetres of rain in Squamish and zero in West Van, so I don't see anything has substantially changed,” said Coun. Marcus Reuter. Reuter said his comments referred to “threatening and intimidating messages” including “calls for personal intimidation” that had been directed at councillors in favour of closing the trails in emails and on Reddit.
