On the west side of the river Bcube not east. Placing more launches outside of the city limits would likely be a provincial issue Bcube. and has to deal with private land owners who likely dont want a road down to the river, traffic or a parking lot on their land. I am not mentioning this to make a great 2 hour float, I am talking from a purely an accessibility standpoint. I am not sure about the small inconvenience you talk about... it is a fairly large one. Right now if you live pretty well anywhere south of fish creek park, you have no access to a boat launch or take out point except for driving way up around fish creek park through sikome. That would include a fairly large bit of population in Sundance, Chaparral, Walden, Legacy, Silverado, Shawnessy, evergreen and bridlewood. All of whom would be serviced by a new proper launch / take out at 194th. Not to mention, you can take all major roads to get to it, Ring road, Divided highway on Macleod tr south and 194th is twinned all the way to the hill down into the valley.

Perhaps I am missing something, but I would like to see a boat launch on the side of 22X specifically on the west side bank. maybe something at the end of 194th ave. Down here we get the short end of the stick. there is a boat launch on the west bank up near Sikome lake which everyone knows about.. The downside, is the only access to it is from the deer run side. That means you have to drive way up and around fish creek just to do a big loop back to where you started from. other than that, you have to float down to policeman's flats. Right now 194th avenue, runs down towards the river then dead ends about 3/4 of a KM away from the river in a small makeshift parking lot. If this road and lot was extended to the river, it would make a perfect spot to have a boat launch or take out point, which would be accessible to the people who live in the communities who are south of fish creek park. just a thought.. im curious if anyone else thinks another one is needed before policemans..

Perfect.

All Zenni optical glasses are there own designs ( no brand name frames or lenses)... Personally I have never had any of them, but a friend has and them and they fell apart within about 9 months. anyhow... I recently just bought my second pair of Bolle sunglasses and I would reccomend them and seriously check them out.. They offer RX in almost all the styles they carry, and the RX lenses are made by Carl Zeiss. Different models have different lens options, but generally you can get 5-10 different lens options (colors, polarization, anti reflective coating etc) for what suits you and the use best. They even have modulator or transitions lenses you can get for your sunglasses. I bought mine from ( Optics Planet ) I went with a Jwalker frame with a green colored polarized (bolle calls it axis) lens with the anti reflective coating and they Cost me about $310 including shipping.. Which is pretty good considering locally they wanted about 550-600 for the exact same thing. All I did was go try on bolle sunglasses here in town to find what ones you like and fit you well, then I ordered those ones from there.
