The Editor,

“How will amenities keep up with development in PoMo?” (Letters, The Tri-City News, Dec. 8).

I would like to commend letter writer H. Zimmermann for calling out Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay and councillors Diana Dilworth, Barbara Junker and Meghan Lahti.

These four individuals also voted in favour of moving forward with Onni’s application #6700-20-157 to amend the land use contract for Suter Brook Village Parcel D in spite of the overwhelming disapproval from Port Moody residents regarding the application discussed at the meeting on Dec. 5.

There were approximately 60 letters and 22 speakers at the meeting who were not in favour but the mayor and councillors still voted to move forward with this amendment.

I will be following this matter closely, although with little hope of a positive outcome. In the end, I and many others will have our say in the form of the 2018 municipal election — unfortunately, long after the additional tower is built.

Keith Bolderston, Port Moody

RAPID CHANGE

The Editor,

Port Moody is changing rapidly since the Evergreen Extension became operational last year and it looks like the plan is to change the town big time. The little town feeling is fast disappearing.

All us old timers are going to have to adapt.

Ann Freda Bishop,

Port Moody
