The Editor,
Re. “‘No’ to restaurants, for now” (The Tri-City News, May 13).
What a surprise that council didn’t vote unanimously to open up Murray Street to small restaurants. When a good idea presents itself, vote Yes!
It would be such a benefit to the community to have some charming and unique cafes and restaurants along the Murray Street corridor. Yes, we have The Boathouse, and yes, we have Pajo’s, but their offerings are quite represented throughout the Lower Mainland.
I know many people who would like to see a little more variety being offered: A place to get a morning crepe or croissant and coffee before a walk; a place to sit and have a healthy and affordable soup and sandwich for lunch; a fresh-made burger place; a vegetarian restaurant — so much potential.
The sooner places like these open up on Murray, the better.
