Dear Editor:
Re: Minding Edgemont’s Growing Pains, June 12 Mailbox.
A recent letter mentions that Edgemont Village with a new seniors’ home will experience increased ambulance traffic “at all hours.”
Surely, offering a place for seniors to grow old and receive care in the community they grew up in is advantageous. We all get there one day and if development enables one to remain in a community that’s surely a good thing.
Things cannot stay the same forever.
In addition, the knocking down of a tired old grocery store and the provision of a multi-unit development is also to be commended.
The vast majority of people cannot afford a “single family” home in North Vancouver anymore.
It also brings a renewed vibrancy to the area, with increased density bringing more customer traffic for the other local stores.
