The Editor,
Re. “Port Moody ERH’s tower plan on shelf” (The Tri-City News, July 6).
Kudos to Port Moody’s Planning Advisory Committee for stepping up to the public plate and doing what is right all the way around, including what is in the best interest of their citizens.
Perhaps we in Coquitlam should demand that our city’s planning committee be required to take in-depth lessons from them. With what continues to go on in the city of Coquitlam, it would appear that Port Moody should have us hanging our heads in shame. Do what is right for the citizens of this city and forget about the temporary cash cow.
PoMo’s committee has it right: “This is not density we need. And what it does is add service cost stress on parks [and other city services],” Coun. Hunter Madsen said.
How about cutting down on the permits given as if there is no tomorrow. Soon for Coquitlam, there won’t be.
