| Description | Mayor Gregor Robertson says he still wants a sensible ending to the Occupy Vancouver tent city at the city’s art gallery — but admits authorities may be forced to remove occupiers from the site.
“They are not complying with the bylaws, all of the city bylaws, particularly with the encampment,” Robertson told a news conference Friday. “And now there's concern if the fire bylaws are not respected that the city has no choice but to take action.”
Fire officials wanted some tents and tarps removed from the site to improve access and fire safety, and set a 10 a.m. PT Friday deadline. But they say occupiers are not complying sufficiently.
Robertson won't say when he may seek a court injunction to have police physically remove protesters, however he said city staff are actively working on the idea. |
