Dear Editor:
Your latest news on the Seaspan office permit on the waterfront raised my concern (Oct. 14 news story).
It seems that universally, in most of the world, there is a push to keep waterfronts, whether along the river or sea, available to (the) public for common enjoyment. I have been in many cities in the U.S. and Europe where this is happening. Old warehouses and buildings are being slowly replaced by parks, walkways and bike lanes.
Yet here, (the) District of North Vancouver allowed a rather big building to be placed right by the seashore. I believe this building should be offset by a certain distance from shore. It is a nice looking building, but is just too close to the water.
