One Question About DSB Colliery Dam Decision

If Dam Safety Branch Is Now Saying ....

there is only one acceptable option to mitigate the 'hazard' the Colliery Dam ponds present, why did they not simply say so, BEFORE we spent how many hundreds of thousands of dollars on useless engineers studies??

The chronology of this whole saga, and the changing 'facts' along the way certainly makes one wonder, if a full, independent inquiry shouldn't be made into this whole affair. A good place to start, would be with the in-camera meeting last October when council was told it would cost $30 million to replace the dams and only $7 million to remove them. Why is this council and staff so afraid of making those minutes available for public scrutiny?

Another burning question, is why wasn't this 'hazard' dealt with back in 2010 when there was a much less expensive remediation option on the table.

This city council and city staff have a lot of questions that need answering as to why we are in such a tither over two insignificant puddles in Harewood.
