The Editor,
Re. “Speak up Sat. on city land in Port Moody” (The Tri-City News, June 8).
Port Moody is seeking input on what to do with the old fire hall and works yard sites at Ioco Road and Murray Street.
I went to the presentation and scoured the info online.
What I didn’t find is the projected populations for the various scenarios.
I emailed the senior planner in charge. He said he didn’t know. No offence to him, but I find that difficult to believe. Other plans floated by the city have included such projections. More importantly, if he is right that planning hasn’t thought about what the increases in population would be, this means that the scenarios have been floated without considering traffic or amenity use.
I find it galling that we’re supposed to rank the scenarios with no option to say that none of them is acceptable.
