Coronation Park does need exploding development.
City council’s concerns are justified as traffic has become a problem, which even SkyTrain has not alleviated.
Not all homeowners in Coronation Park are eager to take the big money and run — where?
A gentle development by small developers with duplexes through six-plexes would be more in keeping with the heritage of this neighbourhood.
It is not all about increasing the tax base or purported concern with providing housing; the quality of life in Port Moody is important, too, and what draws people to want to live here — and not in concrete, overbuilt neighbourhoods.
