    It took a study to realize fresh water fish don't like tons of salt going into water?

    Should the ministry of environmental not be doing these studies???

      anybody can collect data. we live in a free country and it looks like that stream is on Crown Land.

    Do salmon lay their eggs in Van? Or do they swim hundreds to thousands of kilometers inland, up mountains to do that?

    How about a bit of research on road marking paint that isn't like the environmentally-safe (and barely visible in the rain) paint that BC has switched to?

    We even sell dead sea salt that ends in our oceans. A program of extracting salt from the sea and burying it needs to start rectifying the imbalance.

      What imbalance would that be? I bet that there are draught ridden places to build declination plants that we could extract salt from sea water and ship the salt right back to the Dead Sea… let’s not forget that pesky salt in rain water, lakes and rivers feeding the oceans.😂

    All this says is that there is salt in the stream and it COULD have an impact on salmon populations.
    They are making recommendations with based on correlation not causation, which would seem irresponsible.
    Just as it would be irresponsible to report on half done research and then push the premature recommendations.
    Don't blame the scientists for bad reporting

      yeah? I know a guy who used to charge Vancouver people $50 to drive their cars out of the ditch because they didn't know how to drive on snow. You need salt and driver education

      Seems you need salt OR driver education. If the city does whatever it needs to do for summer traction all winter long, why bother? It’s a political question, I know where I stand on it.

      Studs work fine on wet ice. I can’t say that the individual going to the hassle of studs would be better than the collective spreading salt overall, but it IS possible. The use of salt and its various costs to the environment, corrosion, and municipal budgets is a just political decision, we could do without it simply enough
