  Joe Barry, corporate secretary of the Cowichan Valley Regional District, said Wednesday that enthusiasm from governments at all levels is moving the project along, but now the CVRD wants to hear from the public.
  ...
  I can say I've had more phone calls and emails on this than probably any other proposed expansion in the five years I've been here," Barry said, about early reaction to the proposed rush-hour service.
  
  "Obviously there are people who want to save money on gas but there are also people who just don't want to drive that road in the dark in the pouring rain in the winter months," he said.
  
  The desire to better spend that commuting time is also a strong motivator for some people.
  
  "When you're driving yourself, you have to concentrate on the road but if you're in a bus with a reclining seat you can take a laptop or a portable DVD player, which would be my choice.You can also take a book, of course, or there will be some people who sleep.You have just added another hour to your day," Barry said.
  
  How soon the commuter buses will actually start rolling is "the million dollar question," he said.
  ...
  The public meetings Sept. 20 are really important, according to Barry.

  The bylaw also doesnít apply to use of skateboards and such on downtown streets, Joe Barry, corporate services manager told council, The bylaw specifies no riding on the sidewalk, which doesn't prevent someone from boarding on the road, perhaps east-west of a less busy downtown street such as Granite Avenue. "This was put in for safety reasons from Access Awareness originally," Barry said, "because a lot of the doorways open out on to the sidewalk."

  "We won't be running Christmas Day," said Joe Barry, corporate secretary for the Cowichan Valley Regional District.
  
  According to CVRD polls, the expanded bus schedule was the number one requested service improvement in the Valley.
  
  "This is what people have been asking for and we're able to do it," said Barry.
  
  Sunday bus runs are expected to draw many new riders because, said Barry, is a huge shopping day.
  ...
  "In some case you'd have to take a hour and 20 minute bus ride for a distance that was really a 15 minute ride because the route was going the opposite way," said Barry.
  
  "To get rid of the giant loops, we're going to need another bus for that," he said.
  
  The CVRD currently has seven buses, all which run on biodiesel fuel.
  
  "That's very helpful in what we're trying to do, which is go green," said Barry.
  
  The third, and arguably most profound changes will come with proposed increased handyDART services.
  
  Right now the bus â€" a door-to-door service for those with physical or mental disabilities â€" is only provided in Duncan and North Cowichan because those areas are the only ones paying for it.
  
  "We've had a number of requests over the years from people living south of the Cowichan River who said they'd like the same service," said Barry.

  And healthy it is, said Joe Barry, the Cowichan Valley Regional District's corporate secretary who has been riding his two-wheeler to work for the past 18 years. "I'm a large guy - I'm a Clydesdale - and I'm very fit with the cardio because of the riding," he said. Barry said he feels good in other ways as well because of the decision to ride to work. "I know I'm helping the environment and the money I'm saving on gas is just unbelievable." Barry said he had one piece of advice for those even contemplating riding to work. "Stop making excuses and just do it," he said.
