The Editor,
Re. “No sell-off of Port Moody lands” (Letters, The Tri-City News, April 6).
I have to agree with letter writer Sarah Alloisio regarding the upcoming rezoning of the public works yard and former fire hall lands near Ioco Road and Murray Street in Port Moody. But I think it’s a foregone conclusion that our pro-development council will do as it pleases.
So it’s time to rename Port Moody. I think “ Port Development” is appropriate, and instead of City of the Arts, it should be “City of the Developer.” As well, our motto should change to “ You name it, we’ll rezone it.”
PoMo council should look closely at Rocky Point Park, too — acres of land on the ocean just waiting for more highrises! Maybe a tunnel from the Flavelle lands to make it even bigger. Of course, access and egress may be a wee problem but who cares? Get those highrises rising.
