P&T ‘hideous’

Dear Editor:

What makes the Park and
Tilford proposal so hideous is the
fact that it flies directly in the face
of the community plans for both
the City and District of North
Vancouver.

As you know, these plans are
long-term declarations of intent
and a statement of philosophy
where you lay out and declare your
long-term intentions for land use.

On that basis, citizens have built
their futures and invested their
money. That’s especially true for
many of the small business people
who believed that municipal politi-
cians could be trusted and that the
plans would be adhered to.

There was never any question
that the film studio was a welcome
development, but the commercial
aspect will create havoc for the rest
of the North Shore. It is the worst
possible place in terms of traffic
and will require millions of dollars
to change everything around.

The developers, of course, have
stated that the shopping centre
must be part of the development or
they will pull out. But I personally
think that is a lot of horse dung to
exert pressure.

Although this development,
technically speaking, is in the city,
it is right on the borders of the
district and will have a major im-
pact for district residents.

Since, under the Municipal Act,
the city had to inform us officially
about the change of the original
community plan, our council took
the opportunity to let them know,
in no uncertain terms, what we
thought of it, which they promptly
ignored.

So therefore, I made a motion
that we inform city council that we
have not budgeted any money for
additional road improvements
made necessary as a result of this
unplanned development. Unfortu-
nately, I didn’t get sufficient sup-
port because some of the more
timid souls on district council
thought it might worsen the rela-
tionship we have with the city.

But I think otherwise. I think
that our relations would improve
dramatically and their hearing
ability would take a quantum leap
if they would know that we will
not spend our taxpayers’ money
for their folly.
