The Editor,
Re. “Amphitheatre gets OK” (The Tri-City News, Sept. 16).
I agree with Coun. Bonita Zarrillo that there is not sufficient support from Coquitlam residents for the amphitheatre project in Town Centre Park.
I would rather see the money spent elsewhere.
Town Centre Park is not even that large, given the population in the area. The planned amphitheatre seems too large for the size of the park.
A park should not be about showpieces. With the direction we are going in, why not just cement the whole park?

‘A MAJOR MISTAKE’
The Editor,
This decision is a major mistake. An amphitheatre is totally out of character for Town Centre Park. This is a nature park.
This area is very well planned as is. There is a stadium and stage very nearby that can be used for festivities.
Is this $2.7 million well-spent?
